After a crash and replacing one of the rotors it no longer properly hovers, it will lift off and stay in the forward direction but make circles?

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.

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.

Look in manual. Pg.#12 1,2&3. Pg.#13 9,10,11&12. Use complete turns 1or2 at a time. If you don't have one, then adj. the ball link-linkage rod 1or2 turns at a time(complete turns only or the ball link will be backwards).

Helicopter came with extra main blades and tail blade. Tail blade was wrong one. I changed blades using the ones I bought and extra it came with. None work. So helicopter is trash. The original tail blade from factory install works perfect but main blades are bought separate. I have had two specialist look into helicopter and neither can figure out issue other than parts not factory installed are not correct causing helicopter to fly out of control.

It didn't. I sent it back to them and they tried to blame it on my crashing it. But it never flew. Only flipped over backwards no matter how much trim or forward thrust I used. I have been flying R/C for 40 years. I think I know what to do. They even charged me a 15% restocking fee without offering a replacement. I wouldn't do business with these characters. However, my friend has one that works fine. About 15 minutes a charge. Find a different vendor.

Try pushing the steering stick all the way to the left or right right at take off. It should correct the spin shortly after take off. More than likely, you may have 'unbalanced' one of the sides of the helicopter and it tends to spin that way at lift off. I had the same problem with mine, so I just start with the stick pushed all the way to the right every time now, and it works fine. You may also have to crank the slip stream in that direction as well. Good luck.

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.

First check and make sure the tail rotor blade is spinning, if not it may be stuck. Try moving it by hand. If it is moving then there are adjustment buttons on the controller. L and R. Check to see what direction the copter is spinning. You will need to push the L or R butyon until it adjusts properly. Hope this helps

This was the fix for me. The top rotor came right off with no effort. I put it on and tightened the two phillips screws on top rotor to the shaft. It flew right away! Thanks for posting!

I don't know if the replacement parts work. I can say that my husband has crashed his helicopter MANY times and it hasn't broken yet, so I am glad we ordered the replacement parts.

Sounds like a misprint to me!! You should clean new rotors with some type of quick dry cleaner. Use MAF cleaner if that makes you more comfortable. A little pricey, but should work as well or better than Brake cleaner.

You're exactly right. The MODE 2 for this radio IS NOT conventional. Glad you got it sorted out. Nice flying heli & easy to repair even for beginners.

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

A new set (4) of rotors and a new canopy, both in a different color than ordered, (which just makes the tail mismatch.) They probably aren't even going to be the first pieces to break and need replacing.

You better hope you see where it was when it went out if range. Hopefully it will hover or auto land when it's out of signal range.

The plastic gears in the center of the helicopter has small screws in them. they pull out and strip the threads after crashing. they sell a repair kit that have the top and bottom replacement gear.

Sounds like the gear to the top rotor blade is loose or is not making contact. You have to take it apart to fix.

Not sure. I've got one that is currently not flying too and I've changed all the parts and still can't figure it out??? I still have one that's working good, but still... I will I would of got different ones. They're not bad, but for the price, they should be better!

You may need to change the throttle cables and will have to change the air cleaner. Especially the support bracket.
