Gave this Heli to husband as a gift. Got it charged, ready to fly and the rear propeller doesn't spin. Anyone else had this problem?

I had the problem with one if the an n props. The solder was bad on the circuit board and the motor. I re soldered the motor but with the card issue I still have not got it to work right. But I did find the control circuit BDS for 18 dollars.

The rear prop will only operate in certain maneuvers. It does not rotate continually.

I bought this for my husband also and his didn't work either. The lights come on but the motor doesn't and none of the propellers spin. We contacted the company and they suggested that we try a new battery first so I had them send us a new battery, but it still has the same problem so I am going to ask for a refund !

It's relatively simple, there should be a wire coming out of the canopy, attach that wire to the red charger that came with your rc , make sure that the heli is off and let it charge for a few hours

Definitely sounds like a defect. Mine goes forward and backward with no problems. I have noticed a vibration on the rotors that can occur, which keeps me from gaining altitude and makes it hard to maneuver. I exchanged for a new one, but periodically the same thing occurs, but only some of the time.

Sorry - this plane doesn't fly at all. It only moves on the ground and the propeller spins. I thought it flew too when I bought it.

Sounds like you have lost tail rotor thrust. If the tail rotor motor is dead or disconnected, you are will not have yaw control. This could also happen if their is something binding the tail rotor as well, like a tiny piece of hair. Those are some things to check. Also, mine did not arrive with a leveled swash plate which caused it to oscillate. Search youtube for swash plate leveling how-to videos. It is a really simple process with this heli. Basically at mid stick you want the swash plate to be level.

Ours did the same thing. Not sure how to correCT the problem. We bought this one because of the high number of positive reviews, as a trainer before purchasing the more expensive quad copter with camera. We kept this one for parts incase we buy another one, but pretty disappointed in this copter. Good luck, hubby did say there were some you tube videos on correcting the problem, but he has lost patience with it.

HERO-RC sold mine to me. Was not marked Viefly on the box, and the controller did not work. I was able to use the copter with another, existing controller. Returning, though, because I think it all should work properly when brand new.

Also I would recommend using some light 3in1 oil on the motor shafts for lubrication! My tail motor burned out... Now I am down till I get spare parts OR buy more than 1 helicopter to rest one while flying the other! You can buy a BNF helicopter for 20.00$ w/o the extra transmitter( just the helicopter) which means bind and fly using the same transmitter from the original purchased heli w/ transmitter!

HelloPropeller does not turn, are not you inside the pin is brokenIf the new machine, the propeller does not turn, you can manually turn the propeller a few times, you can normally use

I had the same problem. Yes the copter was fully charged up. She did spin around in a circle until I adjusted the trim, but still no lift. I even tried it out from a higher level, (coffee table), she worked her way to the edge and drifted to the ground. Sent mine back and went to WalMart.

READ BEFORE DIAGNOSING A BAD BATTERY!!!I just received this item today and loved it my first 3 flights. I charged it back up, and then it wouldn't take off all the sudden. I immediately thought it was the battery not being charged enough and this thread made me think that even more. BUT, the more I tried to make it work I noticed the top rotor moved slower and slower.If you can pull the top rotor off without loosening screws, you've found the issue! There are two screws in the sides of the top rotor that tighten on the center pin that spins it. I tightened these and my entire issue was resolved, and I had IDENTICAL symptoms as the people above.Happy troubleshooting!

Ask Amazon if they'll take it back, but at this point probably not, they figure you've crashed it enough that you are the problem. I bought a second one without a control box, and installed a new rotor, this way you have one to look at that is fine. Now I have two. Fly one then the other, neither engine getting too hot. If you're going to get into this, you are not just the pilot but the ground crew too. Stuff happens...

Hi Susan; Not sure about what your's are doing but My V913 has those Blades were loose when I got mine and other problem when the Transmitter batteries were low it acted strange. Can you still fly it with trimming from your transmitter.Need more what it's doing to figue it out.Good Luck Barry

Do you have the correct propeller on the motor? If not, it thr motor acts as if it's working in reverse.

This problem could have multiple causes. The propellerr shaft could be spinning in the propellerr hub without turning the propeller. The lower propeller drive motor may have failed or it's drive gear not properly engaging the larger gear that it is supposed to. Least likely would be the control circuit board. Since you have already given it a good looking over, I would return it to Amazon and ask for an exchange.

With all Quadcopters the motors on opposite sides are supposed to spin backwards. What is normal is Right Front - spins Clockwise, Left Front - spins Counter Clockwise, Left Rear - spins Clockwise and Right Rear - spins Counter Clockwise. This configuration counteracts the effect of torque caused by the spinning blades. If they all spun in the same direction the copter would spin uncontrollably in the opposite direction. Just check to see if there is a bent motor shaft or if the props are rubbing on the chassis or something like that. It's not likely that there is anything else wrong. Replacement parts are always available from Heli-Max. With all Quadcopters the motors on opposite sides are supposed to spin backwards.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.
