Does your RC helicopter spin out of control in the air or ... thing that the video says but there nothing wrong about it the remote is fine but the propeller .... i have a brookstone RC stunt copter that i have not used in a few months. i .... however when I come to fly it, it makes a sound but the wings aren't working.
where can I buy new gears and pinions for my mini rc helicopter?. Read more Show.... The two pins on the charger port aren't working they won't charge ..... The charging light is off meaning the battery is charged. Any ideas? ..... So, the motor spins the correct way but there is no gear to transfer the power to the rotors 'A'.Missing: silver bullet
In general, the main rotor in an R/C helicopter only tips forward and backwards of vertical center. Direction is determined by the tail rotor. If the entire machine is tilting right, even if the rotor doesn't appear to be, check the motor mount, and or gear train of the main rotor in the fuselage. The main rotor shaft in the fuselage should be exactly vertical relative to the helicopter deck and with trim tabs centered. If your model has the two small fans, one on either side of the fuselage, try replacing the propeller on the right one, even if it looks OK and check for lint or hair on motor shafts. Again, this is a general answer from my own experience. Hope it helps.
I had the same problem. Bottom blade would not spin. There are 2 shafts that spin 2 gears. The outer shaft that spins the bottom blade has 2 set screws and my set screws got sheered off. I replaced both set screws and everything works now....
make sure the tail motor does not have any hair stuck in it take of the little propeller and clean it. next adjust the trim so when your taking off so helicopter will not spin any more and your good to go
I also have this kind of problem with my apache. The upper propeller must spin faster thatn the lower propeller if not the heli would just spin on its tail although maximum power is achieved. The solution is to check the connection of the gears and the axle of the upper propeller which is located at the bottom of the helicopter. remove first the battery pack to see clearly the connection. try to turn the upper propeller a few turns and see if the axle, gear and the metal connector is sliding. A fixed my heli buy putting a permanent glue on the axle, connector to the gear and whalla. it does not slide. Most problems of this model is the gear of the upper propeller, often times loosened specially during crushes. This will a lot help you as your heli would have power on the upper propeller for lift off. Happy flying.
Please check the connection of the axle of the upper propeller. Turn the heli upside down and spin the upper propeller manually, try to see if the gear turns if not there is a loose connection. You will find 2 small screws near the gear, unscrew one of them and push the axle then back in place, tighten the loosened screws. Turn the upper proppeller manualy, a few turns will do ansd see if the gear turns simultaneously with the propeller. If it still does not turn, apply a permanent glue to the gear and the axle. This will sure have your heli on flight.
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.
