I cannot find an on/off switch on the bottom of the helicopter, which is where the manual told me to look for it. What's up with this?

Hi Don, yes as you are looking from behind the heli the on/off switch is on the right hand side at the front leg of the landing gear. Just under the canopy.

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!

Sounds to me like the electronic board is out or the servos are bad! You could try to send it back to the manufacturer but I don't know about warranty??? Maybe you just got a bad product! I don't even fly mine for now due to tail rotor motor burnout! It was a pretty sturdy little helicopter while it lasted! I crashed it a bunch and kept on flying! They are cheap so in the end you get what you pay for! I thought about buying a couple of them then you could use a broken one for parts. Hope I answered your question! Sorry my response is so late!

Hi! Unfortunately I asked for the manual but I never received. Howevere try this link, perhaps it helps.http://remote-control-helicopters-review.toptenreviews.com/6-tips-for-flying-your-rc-helicopter.htmlGabriel

The on / off switch is on the side of the unit closest to the Aerolatte black label. The end of the unit's handle houses the batteries which are installed vertically after sliding the top off (following the "open" direction on the side of the top). Hope this helps! This really is a great unit and I've enjoyed it immensely this year!

Yes, the on/off switch is in the tail cap. I find mine to be difficult pushing the switch in far enough with a finger to click the switch, but the switch is much easier to operate by poking it with a knuckle!

I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor. Make sure there isn't any hair wrapped around the post. It's amazing what these things can pick up when flying! 2. Purchase a new rotor because yours might be bent, keeping it from rotating. This happened to us before. You couldn't see the bend but when we replaced it, voila! If you've had this helicopter for awhile, it's possible that it's on its last leg. We have had these for several years and one is finally not turning the back rotor and it can't be fixed. We've gotten our money's worth out of it. However, if it's brand new, return it. Hope this helps!

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

When I first tried to bind mine, I couldn't get it to work either. However, I found out that BEFORE I TURNED THE TRANSMITTER SWITCH ON, I HAD TO FIRST TURN THE SWITCH ON THE HELICOPTER TO ON, THEN TURN THE TRANSMITTER ON. After I did that, it worked perfectlyDon.

Sorry, I gave helicopter away and haven't used charger to be able to answer you. But when we had it, I would just leave it plugged in until we used it. You can tell if battery isn't charged enough by the helicopter not responding to controls.

I had trouble with this one too. If by now you haven't figured it out, select the A or B channel on the controller. Turn on the switch on the copter. If the copter does not respond to the controller, turn the copter switch off and back on and it will respond to the A or B channel selected. It's all in cycling the copter switch to match the channel. Good luck. Nice little copters and they bounce good too.

That's going to be very hard. This brand of helicopter, was just a travesty from creation. I recommend you do what I did, just throw it away and purchase a better unit. Hope this piece of honesty works for you.

Mine did. But, there were no instructions on how to turn it on and off. I finally found a YouTube video with instructions. As others have commented, the instructions that come with the copter are almost useless. Also, plan on replacing all 4 motors every 20 flights. The battery only lasts for about 10 minutes of flying time between charges.

In the battery compartment there is a switch that says "demo" and "on." I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to but it took me flipping out about a ridiculously short rock ing cycle for my hubby to dig a little deeper and realize it was there!!

I have this same helicopter and I turn on power to helicopter first and then the power to remote, making sure throttle stick in all the way down position. then when the remote stops beep ,I push throttle quickly all the way up then quickly back down and it will connect, if it does not just try again. Hope this helps. This helicopter is fun to fly.

What exactly was the problem? Was the light on the remote just blinking? If so, that just means that it isn't paired to the helicopter. To pair, all you have to do is push the lever on the left (the velocity for the main blades) all the way to the top and then all the way to the bottom. The light then should stay lit a solid red. Sorry if that wasn't the problem.

Turn the helicopter on and then turn the radio on. green light on the radio flashes, push the throttle all the way up & then pull all the way down. This will Synchronize the 2 units & the light will quit flashing, push throttle forward & fly. Hope this helps!
