Does the left joystick(up and down) on the remote have a spring in it? Trying to see if I can have the heli hover in one spot without touching theleft

No spring, it hovers but it does wonder a little, needs a little correction from both sticks. The Coaxials are the master of hovering and landing on a teacup. This heli you will need a dinner plate maybe larger.

No, you have to find the sweet spot. Once you figure it out, you can easily hover.

Absolutely. I fly mine indoors all the time. However, I believe this seller sent me a fake heli and I returned mine. So you if you are looking for a true f3, make sure the one you get says syma on the top of the controller, and has the blue aluminum tail boom. The fake had a black tail boom and said "ei-hi" on the controller and the heli cape.

Yes it does have joystick controls. There are two modes for flying it as well. One for beginner and one for advanced. If you buy it, you won't be disappointed. It is very durable and fun!

Good heli, stable havent had any problems except with foward thrust which is an easy fix by simply flipping the switch on the transmitter from slow to fast steal for the price I usedTo fly high end nitro and electric rc helis and planes as a hobby i used to have the 9053 it sucks and broke hence the words used to

Yes it has a spring. Been played with by my kids and husband for three months and its not broken yet. They dont hang on it tho.

Yeah, the 4 channel ones allow sideways flight (strafing), and the stick controls thus match other 4 channel rc helis. The MCX control is also DSM2 standard and can be used with other helis, so you could save money on another one by buying BNF (bind and fly with nor remote).

i have had troubles also binding with the heli. dont be in direct line with it. move away and face away from the heli,then move throttle up and down. that work everytime for me.

It seems Brian has answered this question. The included manual states there is both mode 1 and mode 2. However the right stick control is self centering and the left stick is at least on the three I own controls the throttle speed for the rotors. The left stich is not self centering.. Good Luck and enjoy your aircraft...

No, at least when I purchased mine. I just checked Pyramid Air to see if anything had changed and it looks to me like the only available action is the spring. But, I must say, I am so happy with mine and I wouldn't even bother to buy one if it did now come in Nitro. It works, and it works great. Surprisingly accurate.

It does. There are better HoTaS options with more buttons on both hands, but this is a great stick for the price.

To answer your question,is no,you need to use the transmitter it came with,or buy the right transmitter,there pretty cheep,there like 10 bucks,to bind with controler,put a fully changed battery in the heli,then turn the heli on,then turn the controler on,in that order,it will take up to 8 min for it to bind with the heli,only higher end models you can use any controler,i have like 4 2.4 gig controlers,none will work,so yess get the one like it comes with,johnny

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.

Yes it will. You have to clear all the default joystick setting tho in the game. It's pretty straight forward.However, Ive noticed that in BF4 there is a button or two that seems to be bugged. I use the two buttons in front of the throttle to afterburner, and it keeps opening up a damn menu.In all honesty, it works wonders in BF3... But worst in BF4, They seem to have optimized it mainly for the game pad and mouse/keyboard... At least when flying a heli. "i'm not much of a jet guy."

It stays in the same position. I do not recommend buying this heli I sent mine back the controller did not work correctly and it would not trim properly.

I can't answer with certainty, however, I recently purchased this product for my husband for father's day, and his has a joystick. Also, on this screen that I am typing on, the photo to the right of this box under the words "This discussion is about" has the joystick pictured. Perhaps this helps a little bit?

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