Why does this have two stacks of blades? I thought the idea of the Chinook is that both blades spin certain ways to prevent it from spinning it?

It is true that the real CH-47s have two main rotors (Fwd and Aft) that spin opposite directions but are linked together via sync shafts. This counter-rotation cancels out any torque effect and allows to maximize engine power for lift. The aerodynamics of this toy are obviously different buy keep in mind that there is no flight control closet, or upper dual boost actuators, Longitudinal cyclic trims, etc......But, it does fly well when everything is working properly, and it is a lot of fun, and is about 20 bucks compared to about 30 million. and yes, I am a Chinook pilot and I still have fun chasing my cat around the house with this helicopter (she seems to enjoy it too).

Dear JollyJoel: I'm sorry but I can't answer your question. Also, because I bought the helicopter as a gift for my grandson. Sorry.

Why does it not tilt side to side? Why does it not shoot? Why doesn't it cary massive payloads? Oh yeah, it's a toy..

It is for ONE blade. I know they're expensive but I can say that so far they have been the best blades I've ever had on my truck. For the job they do at clearing my windshield, it has been well worth the money. I just hope that they last for awhile. The areo feature really does seem to push them down against the glass at highway speed, which was not the case with all of the other blades I have tried. It was so annoying to have that streak across my field of view at 65 mph. Its all gone with these blades.

that means you have tightened the screws that hold the blades to tight,make sure they are tight but not too tight, make sure the blades can swivel easily ,all 4 need to be able to swing back and forth freely.another thing, check the gears, ive had to replace my gears already, mostly the main gear in the rear of the chopper. but I put money on it you tightened the blades down to tight ,so just back the screws out 1 to 2 turns and try it , ive found a lot of good info on youtube .. hope that helps !!!!

No it has two rotating blades, which is why it's on the cheaper side. Can also be used to mince fruits and vegetables.

There are different models, look in the description when getting one. I got the "strait" one, but it still has like a 3 degree angle to it. I believe the rear of the flight is up and the front of the flight is down while in the fetching jig.

I can't see any way to reverse mine, and would be grateful if someone can tell me how to this. Having said that, mine operates blowing air down all the time, which I find works well in winter to bring warm air down, and creates a nice breeze in the summer. If you look at the blade shape, they really are designed to blow downwards so am doubtful how well they would reverse (if it was possible). Apart from this, I love the fan. It is very quiet, elegant, changes speed smoothly. Love it! (and if anyone can tell me how to reverse direction, please let me know how - I'm very curious).

It has two blades. I haven't yet needed to change them so can't help with the second question. Sorry

I have the Ontario and am familiar with the kukri.Both are better suited to combat applications.Get the Schrade series SCHF14,15,or 24.They all have 3.5 inch thick heavy duty blades and are easily kept sharp with a Lansky mini-crock stick.They are made in China,but the workmanship is surprising good,too good considering they are a our enemies,regardless what the pundits tell you.Used to be they put out junk, not now,I wonder if this excellent workmanship has spun off on their weapons of war?Scary!

The purpose of raising the landing gear on one side is feverish effort to counteract the ground effect slip to the left on take off. It stays that way because the Gyros have placed it in that position as LEVEL. On my birds, (I have (2) 911s) I simply took a pair of scissors and clipped the tabs off. Even so, one of the still fly slightly tilted until I did a weight shift on the entire frame. (Don't do that, it takes away from flying time because of added weight.) Having said that, let me say this:(Learn the characteristics of each of your birds. If it has a tendency to slip left on take-off, give it a quick shot and release of right aileron to correct it. Do the same thing for the birds slipping away in any other direction. The gyros will take over from that point and you will be able to enjoy your flights as I do now. ALL Rotary Winged Aircraft with a tail rotor produces thrust to the left on take off because of the countering forces between the main rotor that want the aircraft to spin left and the tail rotor that says, Oh no you don't!!

There is a small metal piece that will lock the blade to stay open, you have to move it over and close the blade at the same time. This piece is where the blade is when it is closed. Hard to explain, but it's a small ridged piece.

They have 2 blades. I have 3 of them. 2 blades are best.. 3 tend to get bogged down. I have never seen just 1 blade.

There is an angle to the blade so when you push it the snow gets directed to one side. Then entire unit can then be flipped so if you want push now to the other side you can with ease. Youtube "snowcaster" there are lots of demonstrations.

Please unscrue the two scruse on the back of the blades, when you do this then you will see 4 small scruse! Tighten them down and you shouldnt have any more poblems,

It is supposed to use both types of blades. I pulled out the blades I have been using and they T shank blades.

Hi jack,To tell the truth I'm bad on guessing edge angles but it's a wide angle similar to an axe.The BOB can carve and chop wonderfully but I don't find it to be a hunting blade

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.

The 107G is a girly man helicopter. The 109G is an attack chopper, hoo-rah! Get some!Just kidding. I actually like the Chinook chopper better than both of these. More power, faster and louder. Just as easy to fly. The 111G Coast Guard looking chopper has the most flashing lights. The Huey 102G seems to be the most stable of them all.
