After activating the transmitter per the directions, the helicopter indicator light flashes rapidly, but the helicopter will not operate. Tom Yates

Mine did the same thing I ended up selling it on eBay for parts. Good luck.

Sounds to me like the electronic board is out or the servos are bad! You could try to send it back to the manufacturer but I don't know about warranty??? Maybe you just got a bad product! I don't even fly mine for now due to tail rotor motor burnout! It was a pretty sturdy little helicopter while it lasted! I crashed it a bunch and kept on flying! They are cheap so in the end you get what you pay for! I thought about buying a couple of them then you could use a broken one for parts. Hope I answered your question! Sorry my response is so late!

It's a bind and fly, you need to set it on a level surface, power it on and immediately power on the transmitter. The transmitter will beep several times with a final separate beep when it binds, then you can fly.

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.

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged in both the Transmitter and the v911 before attempting to bind. Try binding with the transmitter several feet away from the v911. Turn on transmitter and while its booting up insert battery into helicopter set on level surface and make sure red led is flashing on the heli's pcb. The red led should flash quickly and then stop being fully lit. A bright red led fully lit means the devices have bound. If the red led flashes quickly then slows and continues to flash slowly restart your bind procedure. You may have to do this quite a few times to complete the bind. Also try this somewhere where there isn't a lot of electronics to interfere. Make sure that the batteries are fully charged in both the Transmitter and the v911 before attempting to bind.

Your mini rc helicopter is not compatible with your transmitter. Follow the steps in the instructions, if that doesn't work look at the YouTube videos on transmitter connection

The on/off switch on the bottom of the helicopter is so small that it's a bit tricky. Make sure that you're moving it fully into the on position. I thought something was wrong with mine when I got it, but it was because I didn't do the switch right.

I had something similar happen and I just removed battery, turned off transmitter and then plugged bat. back in and turned on transmitter and it worked fine. Other than that I don't know.

The V911 protocol changed several times when it was introduced. I had to try several transmitter before I found on that worked with my helicopter.

Unfortunately, we just had a chance to try to fly it and it simply doesn't work. When we first received it, it was missing the battery charger. They did send us one, but since then the helicopter has not worked.

It uses batteries in the controller to charge a capacitor in the helicopter. The charge lasts more than long enough to break the drive gears in the first or second flight so it will no longer fly. I had no response from numerous email and calls to world tech toys. Save your money...

Be sure that the batteries in the remote are fresh charged alkaline and make sure the helicopter battery is also fully charged. When you know this and want to fly, face the helicopter away from you and activate the controls......have fun.

Is the battery fully charged? Try calibrating the board by holding both sticks in until it starts beeping repeatedly. Then push up on the trim for the throttle. That should recalibrate it or you could use the recalibrating instructions in the manual. Try setting the quad on the ground immediately after you plug the battery in also

I would look at it closely to see where it is connected and what is broken or loose. FYI, I was unhappy with this helicopter; it does NOT maneuver well and I have owned many other different brand of helicopters. Good luck!

You can fix it by trimming (balancing) the helicopter through the remote control. Please refer to instructions manual for details.

First check and make sure the tail rotor blade is spinning, if not it may be stuck. Try moving it by hand. If it is moving then there are adjustment buttons on the controller. L and R. Check to see what direction the copter is spinning. You will need to push the L or R butyon until it adjusts properly. Hope this helps

I had the same problem. It just doesn't have enough power. I think some fly, and some just don't. New batteries won't help. The quality control is inadequate, I guess. You might ask, "What did you expect for such a cheap helicopter?" Personally, I expected a helicopter, as opposed to a paperweight.
