Just bought this helicopter. Mine doesn't get of the floor. The blades rotate but eventually the helicopter just tips over. Is the product bad

I would say that it is defective. My grandson's chopper flies easily and he controls it very well.

The trim adjustments on controller for pitch and yaw must be adjusted accordingly to keep helicopter level try to adjust as best you can

Make sure that you charge the battery until the USB led turn OFF. Then try it out, if it does not fly is broken. Mine came with one helix loose., I try to glue one of the teeth but after a few seconds it loose up again.

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.

You can fix it by trimming (balancing) the helicopter through the remote control. Please refer to instructions manual for details.

This sounds like a possible cracked/broken rotor griper. The part is readily available and usually ships from China. Took approximately three weeks from the time I ordered it on Amazon to the time I received it. Another symptom is the heli flies in a toilet bowl pattern that cannot control. Alt possibility is a defective tail rotor motor. Also, easy to order on Amazon.

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!

Helicopters are meant to fly in the air. Try your hand at R/C submersible subs if you want.

Check and make sure that after you start up your copter the servo arms are sitting somewhat level. The white arms directly mounted to your servos. The one on the left (looking from the back) controls right and left movement. If this is not level it could easily cause the problem and can be remedied by loosing the mounting screw and readjusting the arm to a more level position. If that is not the case try removing the left servo linkage (looking at the helicopter from the back.) Then screw the metal linkage further into the plastic buckle. Do this in small increments until you begin to see more level flight. Hope this helps and good luck. Check and make sure that after you start up your copter the servo arms are sitting somewhat level.

The bottom rotor maybe slipping, by putting a finger against the cog and gently apply rotation to the bottom rotors if they turn try this : hold the large upper cog and push the bottom rotors (connection assembly firmly down the main shaft - it should become more snug (try the rotation test above) on the shaft and hopefully lift is restored.I think this is a deliberate design to save potential damage or harm from the bottom rotors suddenly stopping on collision, ie a bit of slip on the shaft

Unfortunately, we just had a chance to try to fly it and it simply doesn't work. When we first received it, it was missing the battery charger. They did send us one, but since then the helicopter has not worked.

With the control sticks in a neutral position, does the helicopter hover steady or does it moves backwards? If it moves backwards, then the controls need adjusting. If it hovers steady, then something is wrong with the controls and I suggest returning it.

I have an air hogs havoc heli and it worked alright for the first month. I did not need to change the batteries until yesterday in the controller when I realised that the heli was only hovering about 1 foot over the ground. So I changed the batteries and it still did not solve the problem. I charge it a few times fully after and when it took off it lifted high and properly but then it just dropped and didnt want to raise anymore, it just hovered about 1 foot. Could someone please reply and give me some suggestions on what to do? Please I really need some help.

I would not recommend this helicopter. The first one we bought arrived with a broken transmitter, fought with the company for over six months to try and get a replacement. Finally involved the Better Business Bureau and company claimed they couldn't do anything for us since it had been so long, even though I had copies of all the emails I had sent to their customer service account. My son really wanted to play with this helicopter so we purchased a second one thinking that he would then have two helicopters in case one were to stop working. The newest one only lasted about a week and stopped working and the controller wasn't compatible with the older one. DO NOT buy, this helicopter is JUNK. I would not recommend this helicopter.

My only suggestion would be to contact Syma. I have 2 of these helicopters and never had this problem.

I would look at it closely to see where it is connected and what is broken or loose. FYI, I was unhappy with this helicopter; it does NOT maneuver well and I have owned many other different brand of helicopters. Good luck!

Timothy, this helicopter works outdoors, but not when it is windy. I there is a small breeze it will not fly perfect but it still flies. All in all this is a nice, and good quality helicopter.

I tell everyone NOT to buy this helicopter. This is not a quality r/c toy. The one I received I was never able to get trimmed (problems with turning like you mention). My advice is to return the device if still able and seek out a better quality replacement. You get what you pay for, i learned that the hard way on this heli.

exact same problem with mine...only it flew once right out of the box, worked great...recharged it then tried to fly it again and just like yours, rotors spin and the copter spins but it wont take off...

The helicopter is ready to fly out of the box. It takes a lot of practice if you haven't flown one before as others stated and I found out. I would order 2 extra batteries. I ordered 2 extra ones but I didn't realize that their technology was different and they don't last as long as the one that came in the box. I ordered extra parts but I haven't had to use them. The helicopter is very tough. It got caught in a strong wind when it was about 30' high and I shut it off to keep it from going across a road. Only the landing structure was cracked. The rotor blades have hit hard items many times without a problem. The helicopter is ready to fly out of the box.
