It does not lift off after several very successful flights. Why?

I gave it as a gift. It bangs into and knocks over almost everything. How high is your ceiling?

Make sure that you have a full charge and that all the propellers are freely moving.

It could be a variety of reasons. check all your hoses and filters and that the lift away is on properly. It could be you are releasing too much water to begin with...It is all trial and error. work with it

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

Ours did the same thing. Not sure how to correCT the problem. We bought this one because of the high number of positive reviews, as a trainer before purchasing the more expensive quad copter with camera. We kept this one for parts incase we buy another one, but pretty disappointed in this copter. Good luck, hubby did say there were some you tube videos on correcting the problem, but he has lost patience with it.

It's fixed, don't know why, but does not work as advertised! The heli is great though and because the lift is on a non springed joystick it's better, if it did switch modes then it would use the other side as lift. Which can cause a crash since its spring loaded, I'm assuming they have other controllers that do that and generic adaptation caused the misprinting. Good luck! And don't forget to switch the h-l setting and then also you can change the servo arm to the farthest position and the copter can fly much faster

The nozzle by the on/off switch needs to be turned completely to closed. If it still loses air, you got a lemon and should contact Amazon to replace it. That's what happened to me. First use with m 130 lb son and it lost air. Replacement held my 200lb hubby and didn't lose any air.

I can't imagine it was the wing, too much load there, maybe the vertical, but even that gets loaded pretty good... On the note, mine took some pretty hard hits in a field i was flying in and the most that happened was some wing tip damage, which didn't affect the flight of the plane.. Its fun and easy to fly... But you need a fairly big area to fly, it goes pretty quick even at the slowest speeds it will fly at.

It might be defective but it is tricky to fly. Make sure you adjust the trim while slowly throttling up.

Not sure, but I've noticed that my unit is starting to come apart as well. If it comes apart enough, I might use it as an excuse to add bigger capacity batteries as the flight time is frustrating.

Hi - we had trouble getting it to stay flying. I regret buying this!! More trouble than it was worth. Best of luck

This has happened to me before, and I usually find that adjusting the seat completely upright and making sure the canopy is all the way back does the trick. Hope that helps!

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!

Make sure that the legs are out the whole way. If they aren't, it will not raise or lower. Also sometimes you have to lift up a little bit on the vertical bar in order to depress the lift/lower button. Hope this helps.

Couple things that happened to me as well. Solution 1) did you use old batteries to charge it from the controler? If so, replace the batteries and charge again. Also the second time that happened there was some fiber wrapped around the rotor that I had to remove. Other than that, I think it's the best flyer for the price on the market. Hope this helps.

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.

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.

Just release the air as instructed. It may take a couple of tries to get it. It took me a couple of tries and now it's fine.
