Do any of these actually fly? Cannot get trim to settle down at all. Not enough lift to get off ground.

Take a moment to look at the reviews. Nearly all buyers have trim problems. Lift problem is likely a result of extremely bad trim causing too much body rotation.

They work great with a longer fly time, but CG(center of gravity) is changed so you'll have to adjust trim to allow for a backward lean.

exact same problem with mine...only it flew once right out of the box, worked great...recharged it then tried to fly it again and just like yours, rotors spin and the copter spins but it wont take off...

It all depends on how you went about leveling the swashplate. The heli needs to be on and all trims need to be in the middle. The plate needs to be at right angle from the main shaft in all directions. Get the plate as straight as possible and then use the trim adjustments on radio for final adjustments after that fly and make any other trimming that needs to be done to get it to fly like you want. Hope this helps and happy flying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry not sure what your asking. I bought 2 niether one would fly. Returned both.

It will keep flying. There are no automatic land or hover features in this quad as far as I know. Check the batteries in your controller. Your range sounds too short.

Of all the aircrafts on the flight simulator, I didn't see any quadcopters. I do not know if the software can be updated to include it either.

I had the same problem. Yes the copter was fully charged up. She did spin around in a circle until I adjusted the trim, but still no lift. I even tried it out from a higher level, (coffee table), she worked her way to the edge and drifted to the ground. Sent mine back and went to WalMart.

I had to do a lot of modifying. I used a box cutter to cut on all 4 circles so the propellers wouldn't touch. But I used it once and haven't tried it again. Maybe it's too heavy, it just flew awkward with it.

i dont have a problem doing my flys incline and flat. have not done flys decline so i would about that. hope that helps.

Nope. Strictly hand launch (no landing gear so the propeller would rip itself right off), ive been able to dead start it into the wind with the as3x version, and it lifts right off my palm. This version is strictly 3 channel, which in this case means throttle, elevator, and rudder. It will do a barrel roll, but not an aileron roll. Its a great plane to learn with! Binds right up to spekrum 2.4ghz transmitters, or you can buy it RTF. I put about 11g of ballast right at the nose to fix the tail heavy problem. It sounds like a lot, but it needs it. Its easily my favorite plane to date, and ive been flying 3d, large scale, and and helis for a few years now.im working on building one with flaperons and no as3x :0 Nope.

I crashed mine and hot glued it together and it worked fine for awhile. You really have to fly these in a open field. Over my years I always was impatient and was always the same outcome crashed planes!! I make a pledge no more flying around trees and houses!! GL

Had similar problem. Out of the box, the copter flew fine (apart from my novice controlling). From the second flight onward, it would not get any higher than a couple of inches off the floor. I trolled the forums to try and solve the issue. I purchased a replacement battery, struggled with the fiddley fitting of it and still not sorted. I've now ordered another copter off amazon 'cos my lad (and me) really want to have one of these working. As a last resort I've just applied a little WD40 (via the WD40 straw) to the cogs and the bottom of the shaft and Hey Presto, works a treat! Looks like me and the boy will be duelling now that i've ordered a second! Hope that this helps anyone with the same issue. Had similar problem.

i have had troubles also binding with the heli. dont be in direct line with it. move away and face away from the heli,then move throttle up and down. that work everytime for me.

The only issue I could see you having is with the LiPo battery or air density being so low that the props cannot generate enough lift. As it is radio controlled there would not be any other issue other than possibly wind if you were outdoors this is definitely a copter for size-able indoor spaces. There is no blade pitch adjustments so you stuck with the lift you can generate although this guy is really light and you don't need much throttle at 1,000 feet above sea level to get it going.Having no experience at high altitudes it is hard to say, perhaps review the return/refund policy and take a chance?

I don't know why but for $10, does it really matter? Don't over analyze it. Unless you are a top notch pilot, I highly recommend the guards. You could, I guess, plan on getting plenty of propellers, which may or may not be an DJI oem product....???

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