OK...What am I missing? How do you get these creatures to fly???

Place your index fingers on the hands of the monkey (there should be a pocket on each hand) aim and pull the legs and let go. Have fun!

There's like a little "pocket" on each hand. Put the hands on your fingers, pull back and let go like a slingshot. They fly really far if you aim straight up. Don't pull to hard though, that's how they break.

The hands have pockets for your fingers to go in and act as the handle of the slingshot, then you just pull it by the legs and tails. Personally I'd use the legs to keep the tails from braking, not that it will because they're good quality but better be careful than sorry. Lots of fun at the office!

Pull the hands/arms apart. There is a rubber band inbetween which will act like a sling shot.

Sorry. I gave the copters to grand kids for Christmas & can't remember how that was accomplished.

It depends on how long you charge them, we had 3 ducks, all operate perfectly, the first one we might have charged for 20 or more seconds andhe kept climbing higher and higher until we couldn't see him! The others we only charge for 12 to 15 seconds and we still have them.You need a lot of room, we use local school oval and you have to watch the wind or they get carried away.Ours are a lot of fun and i would recommend them or buy them again. They are delicate so don't be too rough with them, but follow theinstructions and have fun!!!!! Hope this has been some help and have a great day!

You can get them to go anywhere. The only thing you have to be careful of is not being around too many tall trees so they can take off without running into anything. We set a couple off at our house before the event (no water around) an they went up perfectly and cleared the surrounding trees.

Nothing. Just don't try to fly them before they are ready. They need to shoot up to clear trees etc.

Susan I can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli? Mark marknauman53@gmail.com

Nope. They don't move unless you move them. I actually forget they even move

I have raised praying mantises before and they might not be able to escape, but I think the fruit flies might. It would be a close call on both of them. The screen is very small, but so are they. I used a piece of very small mesh material to and doubled it over on the top of he jug I had them in. Maybe you could put something like that on top until they grow just a little.

Sadly, I did not have much luck with them. They are supposed to hatch in about 24 hours. They are not visible for about 3 days after that. I did hatch them years ago, and they worked well for my class. It's possible the area was too chilly (about 70 degrees F.)

Hi they catch fire when you hold them in your hands. Then when the air get warm they fly

I don't see why not... I've never heard of them not flying anywhere it's been tried...

Mine didn't even work.. The pigeons just landed like there was nothing there... I ended up covering mine with boards with nails hammered thru them.. Homemade Bird spikes... I would assume some Turpentine probably works

Tack them on to your oars them selves above the locks. When the oar slides down to the lock it will stop. it worked for me.

There are special Bluebird feeders (they are kind of drive a through -- oh I guess I mean a fly through) that you put the mealworms in. I have also used a regular platform feeder and the deck railing, but be careful of the wind if you use an open feeder. My chickens go crazy over them, too!

Our problem was grackles roosting in a tree. We put Tanglefoot on several branches and at the same time put up some of the reflective tape and three "evil eye" balloons. I'm not sure which did the trick, but it was amazingly successful. After roosting in our tree for months, they were all gone in a matter of days and it's at least six months later and they haven't returned.

Same here - no bats (~6 months). I DO seem them flying around in the late afternoon. Maybe I should've bought the liquid attractant.
