We're able to get the copter about 2' off the ground then it cuts out & drops. Has anyone else had this problem. Are there any resolutions?

Greg, I heard of the problem and the attempt fix. Inside there is a tail that is the antenna that may have too much plastic covering on it that needs taken back alittle off the bare wire to expose it to let the radio wave through. Check it out and see! You've got to take the black cover off to expose the black antenna covered with black plastic and attached on one end. Pull the loose end out and cut off some off the plastic and hang it out when you put the black cover back with the arrow towards the green props. Then screw in the 4 screws back with the antenna hanging out. Good luck! Jerry

I was having this same issue. It seems like if I accelerate up slower then it doesn't cut out. I tested this by keeping it on my desk, while keeping it down with my hand, and accelerating quickly. It cut out. Then, I re-did the test, accelerating slowly, and it doesn't cut out.

Hi - we had trouble getting it to stay flying. I regret buying this!! More trouble than it was worth. Best of luck

Not to be funny but is the SD card inserted properly? I have forgotten to put it in and had this problem. With copterOn and sd card in you should see a red light on cam push the left chrome button on top of receiver and light should blink and turn green I believe copter is in garage so going off memory

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!

Unsure. I emergency stopped it in flight in my house, about 8 feet off the floor, and it broke on impact with the floor. This drone is very, very fragile.

Send it back!! My son had the same trouble... After reading the instructions, my husband and I both tried to sync the copter to the controller multiple times without success. I ordered a different brand and sent this one back

I didn't get the far. All the replacement copter and the initial one never flew. So I could not answer your question due to the fact that I never had the chance to actually fly my copter. My reviews warns you not to buy any of their products. They have to be durable because you cannot direct them where to go and they just run into everything.

Hi, I had it too but took it off. When I was fighting some bad wind it vibrated too much and the bottom came off dropping the gopro thank god into grass.The plate goes on first, then the rubber bushings poke through and then the gopro plate that came on the copter goes on the very bottom. Hope that helps!

Definitely sounds like a defect. Mine goes forward and backward with no problems. I have noticed a vibration on the rotors that can occur, which keeps me from gaining altitude and makes it hard to maneuver. I exchanged for a new one, but periodically the same thing occurs, but only some of the time.

Try flying without the hull. You will want to let it hover in the spot you take off from for a few so it can lock onto the satellites. On another nite, be super careful with the return home function. Mine got confused and flew past the launch site and right into a tree.

It's fixed, don't know why, but does not work as advertised! The heli is great though and because the lift is on a non springed joystick it's better, if it did switch modes then it would use the other side as lift. Which can cause a crash since its spring loaded, I'm assuming they have other controllers that do that and generic adaptation caused the misprinting. Good luck! And don't forget to switch the h-l setting and then also you can change the servo arm to the farthest position and the copter can fly much faster

That is how I'm using it. No ailerons for me either. It will try to output, but no servos will be connected, so it just goes nowhere. The other two work just fine this way.

I had the same problem. It just doesn't have enough power. I think some fly, and some just don't. New batteries won't help. The quality control is inadequate, I guess. You might ask, "What did you expect for such a cheap helicopter?" Personally, I expected a helicopter, as opposed to a paperweight.

You can fix it by trimming (balancing) the helicopter through the remote control. Please refer to instructions manual for details.

Along with the charger you may want to purchase extra propellers and feet. Yes they do break! Within the first 5 minutes of use, the copter feel approx. 10' from the air and broke. After weeks of trying to get in touch with the company, they said they would send 1 replacement part "this time" but not after that ..... For a copter that they show as unbreakable. And by the way, after 3 weeks, we still have not seen the part.

exact same problem with mine...only it flew once right out of the box, worked great...recharged it then tried to fly it again and just like yours, rotors spin and the copter spins but it wont take off...
