Do you experience any malfunction(s) in controlling the helicopter e.g., cannot turn left or right?

the first one i got had that a similar problem, i sent it back and got another one. that one works great! ... send it back

In certain situations like excite flying the tail motor may not be able to handle the manoeuvre, but I don't think that is the malfunction...

I did at first because it wasn't binding to the controller correctly. Once I figured out how to bind it worked perfectly. Unfortunately it was long enough ago that I can't help and these cheap Chinese electronics can be difficult to find good info on. It did work quite well though once I got it running.

I tell everyone NOT to buy this helicopter. This is not a quality r/c toy. The one I received I was never able to get trimmed (problems with turning like you mention). My advice is to return the device if still able and seek out a better quality replacement. You get what you pay for, i learned that the hard way on this heli.

Make sure your pointing transmitter at helicopter, have a full charge. If problems persist I'd return it, they are very good units.

It does have forward/reverse (Pitch) AND left/right turn (Rudder) on the right stick. With throttle up/down on the left stick. The left/right rudder, on the right stick, is backwards to what the most common US radio mode (MODE 2) hobby grade heli has. And that may cause you to learn some bad habits if you plan on moving to a REAL hobby grade heli in the future. BUT you can take apart the transmitter and place the rudder controls on the left stick . Like it should be. I did this to mine in less than 10 minutes. Using just a Phillips screwdriver. Very easy and now I'm ready to progression to 4ch fixed pitched RC helicopters. It does have forward/reverse (Pitch) AND left/right turn (Rudder) on the right stick.

As received, the forward/back and left right controls were not set up properly for the 'mode 1' stick. I had to go into the 'software' on the transmitter and switch them. The book tells you how to do this. I have been flying RC for 40 years and caught the problem immediately.

you must turn the Switch on the side of the helicopter to the ON position, the red light will be blinking; Then turn on the controller, any channel is fine, because the helicopter will cycle through the channels until it finds your controller. when you have connection the light will stop blinking and all other lights on the helicopter will illuminate. then you can proceed to control it with the controller.

yes. you will just need to re-bind it every time you want to switch helicopters.

When I first tried to bind mine, I couldn't get it to work either. However, I found out that BEFORE I TURNED THE TRANSMITTER SWITCH ON, I HAD TO FIRST TURN THE SWITCH ON THE HELICOPTER TO ON, THEN TURN THE TRANSMITTER ON. After I did that, it worked perfectly Don.

A friend of mine just had the same problem, he flew it, replaced battery with a fresh one, and nothing... Sorry to say this but his main rotor motor went bad...But if you're lucky the transmitter batteries may be low enough to give you a problem try replacing them...(Don't pay much attention to the bars for your transmitter batteries , it lies)

Susan I can probably help but I need more to go on than moves sideways to the left. Is this your first FP heli? Mark marknauman53@gmail.com

Yes. However if you do not have experience with RC helicopters this is not really a "first time" choice since the main rotor moves in all directions so it's not easy to control. Easier models only have forward and back with the main rotor, and you rotate the direction the heli is pointed in and then go forward or back. You should gain some experience with those first. With this one if you move too quickly with any right or left on it will easily flip and crash and it's also harder to trim. That said if you are already familiar with flying these things, it's a nice model and I"ve crashed mine a bunch of times with no damage. Yes.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

Well no offense but make sure you have battries in rite lol!!!,but then turn your switch on the heli till you see the lights come on then turn your remote on till you see lights come on then push your left controller all the way down and to the left till you see the lights blink different on the helicopter then it will be synced with controller and that should put you in fly ready position good luck!!

If the left/right balance control is set partially to right or left will the signal be affected?

You do not have to program the controller - it is already preprogrammed. There are some mechanical adjustments that need to be made in order for it to fly correctly. As far as level of difficulty, this is not a starter helicopter. An experienced pilot will have no problem flying this helicopter. If you have not become proficient at flying the 4 channel fixed pitch helicopters, I would not suggest getting this one - until you have done so. There are some specialty tools that are needed to set the pitch on the blades. Without these tools and proper settings this helicopter will not fly correctly. Adjustments are fairly simple once you understand them and so is the setup of the radio. Again, this is not a beginner helicopter. There is room for improvement with upgrades.

I bought four that came with the V911 helicopter. All were Mode 2 with throttle on the left stick. Very easy remote to use and the V911 is a good easy to control fixed pitch helicopter. Purchased two for myself and purchased two more to give to friends as gifts.

I would say that it is defective. My grandson's chopper flies easily and he controls it very well.

It's really difficult to get the pilot going sometimes. I think it has something to do with auto shut off when the thing tilts even in the slightest. Frustrating for me as well!
