Does the flybar have to go on a certain way. I had a big crash and it came off, replaced it &amp; now when I fly the heli wobbles . Or is it something else?

I had a similar crash and same result. The flybar attaches to the mast with a small steel pin which you probably lost during the crash. Look closely at the flybar and you should see the small hole where the pin is inserted through the flybar to attach it to the mast. There are no replacement steel pins with the copter and they are not included in any of the repair kits. I clipped a small piece from a paperclip and used that as a replacement pin and added a small dab of glue to keep it from falling out again once I reattached the flybar. Also watch out how you attach the small dumbbell shaped parts which connect the flybar to the rotor blades. The dumbbell parts should be attached just to the rounded knob on the end of the flybar connection. If you push the dumbbell too far past the rounded knob so it is on the shaft rather than just the rounded knob, the copter will wobble when flying. This fix worked for me.

I've haven't had this problem yet but I have read that the tail motor and main motor can go bad and they do,there are three things you can do get ahold of wltoys and tell Them the tail motor went bad buy a new tail motor they have them almost anywhere and they're only a couple bucks or what I'm going to try to do is buy a hobby grade replacement motor for the tail and mane motor the one that fits comes from a helicopter called the Solo Pro ,,so more or less you're going to put a hobby grade motors into your toy grade heli and upgrade it

A few tips that might help: 1. Start again from the beginning of the binding process (section 11 of instructions); remove battery from heli, switch controller off. 2. Ensure throttle (left stick) is closed (off). 3. Turn controller on; ensure throttle trim is neutral (display screen shows the trim settings). 4. Push in the heli battery; place heli on stable surface (may not bind if holding/wobbling). 5. Heli should bind with Tx and led stops blinking. My first heli binded on first attempt, and every flight afterwards. But when I bought a second (Bind and Fly) heli, it failed to bind like you describe. But on the second attempt it worked fine, and has binded every time every since. A few tips that might help: 1.

make sure all controls are at neutral. swatch plate is level to both heli center lines. check tail rotor plug in at front of heli, if it still goes into a spin and the tail rotor is barely turning, it most likely needs a new tail motor.

you do not level the swashplate on fixed pitch heli's like the v912, they need to be pitched to the right to make up for the torque from the blades, you only need to do that on collective pitch, set it back the way it was from the factory and enjoy!

You can try adjusting the trim. But it's one of the harder problems to fix on the Micro-helis.You should also replace both rotors from a set. They are paired by weight and even a gram can cause wobble. Any knicks in the blade can also cause wobble.One more note: If it crashes in water the rotor lift arm motors might start twitching. It is then 'impossible' to sustain a reliable hover. You'll know if this is the cause if the heli is on and bound to the receiver but still moves the arms by itself. Happened to my first one.

We just got ours, but owned these years ago, and I noticed right away it didn't spin right. The plastic around the tip of the feathers that attaches the swivel is too high up on the swivel thing (technical term ;) ) so I just trimmed the plastic back a bit, and it spins perfectly now.

It does not hover well on its own. It's either on the ground or soaring. Any time you maneuver, it dips unless you increase the throttle.

I have not flown mine in a few months but if i remember right 10-15 min. And when it dies it cuts out qiuck with little warning and will drop like a rock! Still fun to fly and pretty rugged.

Yes Doug, the 4th channel is movement sideways left or right. The F3 is a great heli andI am sure that you will enjoy it. Take it easy, it is fast to rise. Lots of power to weight.

This sounds like TBE, "Toilet bowl effect". It's when you are trying to hover but the heli moves in a circle, with the nose always pointing at the same wall. It can be caused by many things, but usually it's caused by friction or damage in the flybar linkage or flybar pivot. This causes the input from the flybar to the blades to be dampened or delayed. The easiest way to fix it is to take the flybar, links and blades off then re-install them making sure they move easily. If this doesn't work, then use a light oil, such as sewing machine oil, to lubricate the above parts and the bearings on the main shaft. Make sure to wipe all excess oil off so it doesn't attract dirt. One of these will usually fix it about 90% of the time. If that doesn't work check the parts for damage or signs of being bent.

Ask Amazon if they'll take it back, but at this point probably not, they figure you've crashed it enough that you are the problem. I bought a second one without a control box, and installed a new rotor, this way you have one to look at that is fine. Now I have two. Fly one then the other, neither engine getting too hot. If you're going to get into this, you are not just the pilot but the ground crew too. Stuff happens...

It was fantastic for a while, and yes it will hover. I flew it outside well until it hit a power line then it crashed and I have not been able to get it fly like it did. Does not like to fly in wind, but it is a truly amazing device. Well worth the money.

It's a simple operation, if you consider messing around with the tail rotor control until you get it just right.You may get lucky the first time and you're ready to go. Then again, it might be fifty times. ew...Patience is the key. Move the control to the right (or left) and make tiny adjustments from there. You should hit it easier that way.Good luck and keep flying,Dale

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

Does this plane break very easily? not really, don't get me wrong, fly it full speed into the ground and it will break (did that on day one), but i have had very few breaks and several crashes.is it easy to fix? extremely, just some foam safe glue and activator and i have been able to piece it back together every time in just a few minuites. on occasion i have used toothpicks just stuck through the foam for more support where it was needed from a bad break.basically i only had to spend an extra $15 and i have kept it flying.

It changes the controls to make it faster. To test it out spin the heli in mid air. Youll notice immediately
