I just got my plane and the prop and spinner looks bent down. Is this normal, should I return it?Thanks

It's normal, unlike a real plane the mounting aspect is a little more off-kilter. Wings are very delicate too, careful with landing, even in grass. I wish I'd known ahead of time, I would have reinforced them with some tape.

Hi David ,hope your model situation has been resolved and the company has resolved your situation , hope this finds you a bit more satisfied ..enjoy the flying ,Arch .

Yes, it's normal. The prop should be angled down and slightly to the right. This is to counteract the torque of the motor and to give it more docile throttle handling.

Hi David ,sorry that I have taken a bit of time to answer your aircraft airframe situation (prop and spinner )on your albatross ww1 aircraft , I am happy for you and please feel free to get in touch to answer any questions ,she is a lovely little aircraft and I hope to purchase one very soon . I think there is something wonderful about the aircraft of that period . Arch (aviator ww1 and 2 ). thank you .

Look closely to see if ur missing a part. We were missing a flap and ours has never flown correctly. It goes up in the air and then crashes. We had already thrown away the box when we realized it. Sad little girl at this house

I changed my motor and gear box out and installed a brushless with batteries then I found props that fit...and she screams.. I did make new landing gear so the longer prop fits well...Good luck..

The spinner are suppose to spin in opposite directions but they don't on mine. I have tried tweeking them and adjusting them and still they spin together. I hope that helps

Whoa... this is a huge problem! I bought these propellers and installed them, they work great! However, one crash later, I find that one of my aluminum posts has stripped and can no longer hold the screw, therefore I can't use these props AT ALL! We need to be able to purchase spare aluminum posts AND screws. Can you post specifications on the screws and posts so that we can find them at our local hardware stores when these things break, please?

Did you mess with the propellers? If you did, make sure you put the exact color and pitch of the prop is correct. I had broken a white propeller and figured both white replacement propellers were the same but they are not. One is for right side and other is left side.

I just got mine and I'm wondering if I should return, my drive shaft appears slightly bent and when I grind with nothing inside it scrapes ceramic on ceramic at one section of the rotation. :(

SusanI can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli?Markmarknauman53@gmail.com

Salam....sounds like you put it together wrong. Of course it could be defective I suppose. I put mine together like the picture and it works fine...

I believe you can fix that by adjusting the horizontal trim on the right stick, could be the left though...been a little while since I've flown it. Good luck.

I'm not really sure about that. But that would be really crazy. I would just send it back to whoever you got it from. Have you received one that was upside down?

Unplug and reset it. Put it on a level surfacenter and recalibrate it (left stick down and right, wiggle the right stick left and right) if this does not work, make sure the propellers are both good, and put on correctly. A goes with a, and b goes with b. Happy flying!

Honestly I do not know if it's a defect. I liked the board so much form the beginning that I decided to keep it, curved or not, and with time it i has actually become steadier. It's really a great board and if you treat it right, using some special oil once in a while it will keep looking as beautiful as when you unwrapped it!I hope this is helpful to you. Aloha from Britt

Do you think you are smarter than the Asian engineers that designed this aircraft? lol I uncoiled mine thinking that straightening it out would help with range, but only made it worse. I kind of remember something about a "coil" antenna from my electronics training years ago. Your best bet is to just leave it alone and upgrade to a better aircraft when ready.

Not sure I understand your question but I will ad this comment. I returned this plane almost immediately as servers did not function properly and are not interchangeable. Plane did not come ready to fly as advertised. Kids were very disappointed that it did not work.......Perhaps you will have better luck.....Also, very little help from local hobby shops, as this brand is not very popular. Good luck.

Also check the bottom of the hull near the props. Mine had a hole (intentionally made) from the factory which I sealed.

It did not fit on mine. When I received it the plastic was slightly warped. After I mounted it, two of the props could not rotate because of interference.
