Any fix to making the chopper fly forward -- mine wants to go backwards initially??

They all go backwards initially. I found that if you push the forward lever and ease the power slowly it will climb. Then be ready to ease off of forward. I have had 2 of these and note they will go backwards when too much power on take off is pushed. Its a little tricky but once you get the hang of just enough power and pushing the forward lever it will fly great. It is very sensitive to wind even though it is heavy. I only fly it in the garage.

Get some kids clay & take off as much as u need. Lol Sounds funny,but it works.

stick control is a must you need just enuff power to start to go up not too much but another trick is to put a nickle in the nose just in front of the battery

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.

Use the right toggle switch to move your helicopter left and right. It takes practice if the helicopter is not turning properly you should adjust the gyro center on the center of the control.

Susan I can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli? Mark marknauman53@gmail.com

need to tweak it while on the ground. which means to keep it from spinning left or right.have it running to see which direction its going. then turn the tweak knob the opposite way. that should set it right

The right side joystick pressed upward will propel the chopper forward and down will reverse.

Check and make sure that after you start up your copter the servo arms are sitting somewhat level. The white arms directly mounted to your servos. The one on the left (looking from the back) controls right and left movement. If this is not level it could easily cause the problem and can be remedied by loosing the mounting screw and readjusting the arm to a more level position. If that is not the case try removing the left servo linkage (looking at the helicopter from the back.) Then screw the metal linkage further into the plastic buckle. Do this in small increments until you begin to see more level flight. Hope this helps and good luck. Check and make sure that after you start up your copter the servo arms are sitting somewhat level.

Take two quarters and tap them at the front bottom side of the heli. Adjust more or less weight as needed. That will give u forward motion....

Thank you for contacting us. Before you play, please read instruction carefully if you are first time user. When you push the joystick for throttle, please do it slowly. Please don't push too hard. And if possible please play outside and without strong wind. Thank you for asking Cece

Turn the helicopter on and then turn the radio on. green light on the radio flashes, push the throttle all the way up & then pull all the way down. This will Synchronize the 2 units & the light will quit flashing, push throttle forward & fly. Hope this helps!

it is quite possible it is defective(it happens) if you 1 -turn on transmitter FIRST then set heli on a FLAT surface. turn on heli and wait about 3 sec. the built in gyro will engage . NOT doing this will cause all sorts of problems. check the balance everything should be factory balanced.also look at r/c flight school.com lots of info there.GOOD LUCK.

Hi Lawrence, I've recently been having problems with that as well. If I accidentally hit 'reverse' before switching to 'on', it sometimes gets stuck going the wrong direction. When it happens, I usually have to toggle the switch back and forth a few times before it changes to the right direction. Looks like I need to change my review on it.

that means you have tightened the screws that hold the blades to tight,make sure they are tight but not too tight, make sure the blades can swivel easily ,all 4 need to be able to swing back and forth freely.another thing, check the gears, ive had to replace my gears already, mostly the main gear in the rear of the chopper. but I put money on it you tightened the blades down to tight ,so just back the screws out 1 to 2 turns and try it , ive found a lot of good info on youtube .. hope that helps !!!!

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.

Make sure your throttle trim is all the way down, and that your throttle stick is as well, while initializing. It is a safety thing these radios have so it can't fly off as soon as it binds, and you have time to get your hands clear. Also, try holding the transmitter close to the heli as it binds.

All I can suggest is to keep trying it both clockwise and counter-clockwise. I think that happened to mine once and I kept fiddling with it and it finally unlocked.

simple. Your power is weak. Change the batteries with new good batteries. A friend of mine had a similar problem and once we changed to new good batteries it flew flawlessly. Smooth copter handles easy.
