The tail propeller does not work, so the helicopter does not lift off of the ground. Any suggestions on how to get the tail propeller working?

I have owned 2 of these and the first was problematic, in that the tail rotor didn't turn, it lifted off just fine it wouldn't maneuver at all it drifted with the wind. I think you may more problems if it won't lift off at all.

Hasn't happened to me. I always check to see if have position and altitude hold working as soon I start the flight. Worse thing was having one of the prop capnuts come loose and the propeller coming off at about 150 feet in the air. That possibility has been lessened on the new version with reverse threads on the clockwise props. Still a good idea to check tightness before each flight.

controller can not be hooked to the helicopter. the radio controlls the copter from a distance.go to r/c flight school.com for instructions.

so you're saying for instance the front or the back runs all the time, non stop without you even touching the remote?? usually shutting off the copter and the remote and powering them back one at a time fixes it. What I would do is try and let the battery drain out which might clear out the memory, then check for anything clogging the other propellers, then recharge and see how it works. might mean either the remote went defective or the copter itself got hit and now its all messed up.

Check if the tail rotor rotates when you give power forward. There may be a problem with the transmitter or cabling. Check the trim on the right side of the control. Must be in the middle.

I think have a slightly different problem. My heli came with a decent charge on it. I flew it around the room for a couple minutes. Now I'm trying to charge it but the charge light never comes on. Can someone confirm what they are doing to charge it? Do you keep the helicopter switched "on" and the charger "off", heli "off" and charger "on", both "on", or both "off"? I suppose it doesn't matter since I think I've tried all combinations. Besides using power for controlling the test flight I have brand new batteries. If anyone had this issue and solved it, let me know. I think have a slightly different problem. My heli came with a decent charge on it. I flew it around the room for a couple minutes.

Answer here...Got rid of mine, will never buy one of those small helicopters again. Waste of money and a headache.

Is your heli completely charged? Is the throttle all the way up? If so, try holding the heli in your hand, throttle all the way up and let go. If the heli spins and drops, you have a loose motor gear and it needs to be replaced. This is a pretty simple repair, I've done it on 3 of my helis, but if yours came this way new I would have it replaced.

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 !

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.

it is quite possible it is defective(it happens) if you 1 -turn on transmitter FIRST then set heli on a FLAT surface. turn on heli and wait about 3 sec. the built in gyro will engage . NOT doing this will cause all sorts of problems. check the balance everything should be factory balanced.also look at r/c flight school.com lots of info there.GOOD LUCK.

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.

Wish I could help... I bought the helicopter for my husband for Christmas and it came MINUS the featured battery. The company did not offer replacements and we had to return the helicopter. Unfortunately he still doesn't have one. We have decided to try to find one at a brick and motar to make sure it is complete and actually will fly.

Make sure that the helicopter battery is fully charged and plugged in then turn on the remote and keep it very close to the copter. the remote will have the flashing red light. then try using the remote. I usually just turn on the headlight by pressing the button on the top right of the remote. It is very important that the copter battery is fully charged. When my son shuts off the remote with a weaker battery in the copter we usually have to change the battery or charge it before it will reconnect even though he has just been flying. I did buy a pack of 5 spare batteries that took about 3 weeks to get from China but they work great.

Make sure the right props are on the correct motors. If you turn on the propellers and you feel air blowing up, switch the left with the right and left with the right. The motors are counter rotating.
