Flys good for about 30 seconds into each flight after being fully charged and then it will lose power and sink to about 6 inches off the ground? help?

sounds like a battery issue mine flies like that when the battery is almost dead after about 10 min.

The battery clicks in the bottom and will not fall out even in a crash. I eventually bought some 500mah batteries for longer flight time and cut the battery mount area off and added a strip of Velcro to copter and to the batteries. Now I just stick the batteries to the copter with no issues. I can also balance the copter better this way too.

It probably made it up to 40 feet or so the one time we were able to fly it. Then I made the mistake of leaving it plugged in to charge overnight, and I apparently fried the battery. Apparently you are only supposed to charge it for 180 minutes max or else it destroys it ... which kinda sucks.

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.

Hi, I have not noticed this problem with my toy. But I have not flew it everyday during 30 days.

Picked up one of these a few weeks ago. After just four flight, I'm having this exact same problem. One motor is always on full blast, rendering it unflyable.

Charge time is about 4 hours. Fly time is 15-20. You can get better batteries. Also make sure that when you charge it, you run it until it dies. Don't leave it sitting around charged. I did and now the heli won't even take off on a full charge. Hope this helps. It's a great heli despite all this and is pretty easy to fly.

sounds like the batteries are nearing the end of life. mine does this now too, but they still charge. new batteries work as the manual says and the lights blink and slow to a stop. i have been milking these "old" batteries for a while and the charger not stopping is the only issue along with reduced fly time of course.

Make sure that the controller is turned on while charging plane. The red light should be on and the green light blinking. The plane is fully charged when green light stops blinking. Once this is done make sure the controller channel and the plane channel are set the same, then enjoy.

No problems for me yet. Others have said that the tail will burn out no matter what battery you use and you need to let it cool off for a couple minutes between flights.

The charger should light-up when plugged into computer or power source AND not plugged into copter. That's the first test.Ensure you have a good connection at the copter. Your copter battery could be worn-out - is copter old ? Otherwise I would agree the charger is bad.

the initial charge might take over an hour, but usually shorter, after initial charge....will depend on how long you fly it, and run battery down!

A friend of mine just had the same problem, he flew it, replaced battery with a fresh one, and nothing... Sorry to say this but his main rotor motor went bad...But if you're lucky the transmitter batteries may be low enough to give you a problem try replacing them...(Don't pay much attention to the bars for your transmitter batteries , it lies)

Power falls off near the end of battery life. It becomes more difficult to control without excessive corrections and will lose altitude.

This takes about 15-20 Min to fully charge and you will get about 5-10 min of flying time. Thanks

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.

In my charger didnt do that... did it work at the drone? My drone flew almost a half an hour with it...
