SOURCE: my john lewis mini helicopter auto stability control not flying

I had a similar problem with mine, check if the central shaft on which the blades turn hasn't become lose and is no longer engaging the gears on the underside of the helicopter.

If the whole shaft can move up and down then this probably means it has come loose, you can solve this by squeezing the lower set of blades towards the bottom gear with your fingers. You should feel the bottom blades move slightly down, if you push them too far they will stick against the main body so you might need to pull them up slightly.

Testimonial: "thanks very much, you are absolutely right about the problem. i had difficulty moving the blades so put some clingfilm (!) in the gap on the shaft."

SOURCE: my helicopter wont fly

either stripped the main gear inside the heli or the main blades where they slide on the shaft. you should be able to buy a replacement set of blades. try that and see if it'll fly.

SOURCE: heli max hicro helicopter just keeps spinning in circles

Spinning is caused by one of the main propellers rotating faster than the other. If both propellers are secured tightly to their drive shafts, the spin control knob on the remote control can be used to stop the spin. However, if one prop is slipping with respect to the other, the spin control knob will not fix the problem.
I've found that the set screws holding the propellers to the drive shafts tend to loosen after a while. If one prop is a bit loose and the other is tight, the relative slippage will cause the helicopter to spin.
To check, turn off helicopter power and manually rotate each propeller separately, watching the nylon gears in the body. If the propeller is moving and its drive shaft gear isn't, the propeller is slipping because its set screws are not applying enough pressure on the propeller's drive shaft.
Carefully tighten the set screw and the problem should be fixed. DON'T OVERTIGHTEN, or the plastic threads for the set screw will be stripped and the propeller assembly will be ruined.

My S031 when powered up floats backwards and drifts sideways, just put on new blades did not fix the problem can anyone help

Helicopters are not easy to fly, they are not naturally stable. New blades do not solve the problem, this can only be achieved by training and very delicate movements of the cyclic pitch control. I recommend to use a larger skid (broader) or some light device that enlarges the skid surface (to avoid tilting and damage). But be sure that a coaxial helicopter is easier to fly than any conventional model with just one main rotor and anti-torque tail rotor.

Syma s107 hit a dangling string that got tied up instantly and seized the rotors. now lights up but blades don't spin when throttled. What can I do besides replace the helicopter?

I was flying my syma s800g and hit the ceiling fan chain. When I attempted to fly it would spin and fall over. The problem was I broke the two small plastic pins on the top rotor holder. Ordered a new top rotor and flies fine. Then on my s107 I flew into a door and the top rotor had zero spin although the motors worked. In that case the screw that sets the top rotor onto the middle shaft loosened resulting in no lift and also tilted and fell over. This was fixed by securing the set screw properly. So in both instances it was similar effects due to the top rotors not spinning in sync with lower blades.

My shuang ma 9101 will not fly forward

I had the same problem. The problem is to do with the little cog in the back of the helicopter that drives the tail rotor. If you reverse the helicopter it creates downward movement but if you fly forward it creates lift. This lift can actually cause the white plastic gear wheel to also lift and it looses contact with the drive cog itself. Undo the two screws to lift off the black casing, prize off the white plastic cog and file the underside down slightly. When you put it back in place it now sits slightly lower and does not lift too high when you fly the helicopter forward. Hope this helps.

My 9053 lifts off fine goes left right and reverse. but it goes reverse also when i want to go forward . Tail rotor turns at what appears proper rpm. and it changes direction when i push stick from reverse...

I own this heli also. The problem is that the tail rotor does not apply enough push to tilt the heli forward. It is this forward pitch that moves the heli forward. Aside form buying a stronger tail motor, upgrading your battery etc, the only thing you can do id this:

Get a credit card, a pair of scissors and some tape. Cut a couple of strips from the credit card about 2 1/2 - 3 times wider thhan the tail rotor blades and the same length. Now tape the strips to the top of the tail rotor blades. Make sure you don't increase the length.

This will help a little by providing more air push when the tail rotor in engaged. Without some serious modding, this heli will never be great.

I have more fun flying my micro size syma helicopter in the garage then I have flying my volitation. If there is even the slightest breeze, the volitation will float in the direction of the breeze and will not fly against it.

I have Brookstones silver bullet u control helicopter and have a problem. I crashed it, and when I went to fly it again it seems like the bottom blade is hit off the tail of the helicopter. Do I just...

Sometimes the metal weights fall out of the top rotating bar causing the blades to be out of balance and the bottom blade to hit the tail. Check to see if both the weights are in the top bar.
