I'm asking again because I'm hoping to get more info. Mine hovers about 6 inches off the ground, veers to one side and then crashes. Why?

Can't answer. Last I heard my grandson and his dad loved the helicopter. No complaints.

You probably need to balance it. In the center of the remote there's a dial. While hovering, slowly move it from the middle to either the right or left. When the copter is no longer pulling to either side, it should be balanced. If you can't reach balance, it may be defective.

We had the same thing happen. I think that when we were trying to figure how to fly, we pushed too hard on the remote and messed up the buttons, maybe even stripped them. We even had the middle dial changed to different directions, and still did the same thing.

No its fine. Assuming your crash also means one if not more of the propellers came off. The propellers are probably on upside down or on the wrong motor. The motor couldn't suddenly start spinng in a different direction unless you rewided it.

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 am sorry Melissa, I cannot help you. Ours crashed onto a school roof, and by the time we could get permission to retrieve it, someone had taken it or it had blown away somewhere. I never got a chance to look at it broken

There doesn't seem to be any options in the software that inhibit the wheel from moving like that. I would guess its a hardware issue, maybe something is stuck or broken. Perhaps opening it up could help you find out (if it doesnt void the warrantythat is, if it does then contact customer service)

Hi Nichole- Since this is a prefab coop, perhaps they made a mistake. mine was fine when constructed last year. I'm sorry to not be of much help.

Definitely sounds like a defect. Mine goes forward and backward with no problems. I have noticed a vibration on the rotors that can occur, which keeps me from gaining altitude and makes it hard to maneuver. I exchanged for a new one, but periodically the same thing occurs, but only some of the time.

Mine did not move either. Also the left side did not make any sound at all. So I returned it.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

50 Feet high max I guess. Sometime it flew too high then I lost control of it & crashed hard :(

Mine is the same way. My husband said that that was the way they have always been. I don't remember mine but it is an odd thing. I told him that it should land on an animal and say what that animal is and it's sound, not do it afterwards. So perhaps mine isn't broken, it's just Fisher Price's backwards thinking!

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

don't know, mine is fine...is your floors level, is the board level when fully deployed...if not with the board, then you have a defective board. throw a level on it.

Mine went flat pretty fast, but it may have just been a defect. Otherwise, I'd say go for it.

Mine didnt work at all , i didn't check it when i got it. I could almost hold it from spining with my hands

after a couple crashes, stuff starts to get loose. First, try playing with the adjustable tension at the top that allows the blades to slightly sway / tighten loosen the screws to see if you can get it to be more balanced. If that doesn't work, Try tightening all the little screws on the body and if that doesn't help you probably need to replace that main rotor. It's being bent is also a poss cause of the wobbly flight.

Not sure. I've got one that is currently not flying too and I've changed all the parts and still can't figure it out??? I still have one that's working good, but still... I will I would of got different ones. They're not bad, but for the price, they should be better!
