If this helicopter is a BNF, what transmitter do you need? Would it bind with a Spektrum transmitter? I just bought the black and yellow RTF version and I was wondering if it would interface with that transmitter.

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 need a Spektrum branded transmitter for this plane. I don't believe it will work but you may wait for others to chime in to make sure.

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

Yes, RTF means Ready to Fly, but your right, there is no picture of the radio. It comes with a dX4 radio. Very cheap one that gets the job done but not too adjustable. It just has trim adjustments. But it works to learn with. I would skip this one and buy the Bind n Fly and put that money into a DX6 or better.

Be careful, a buddy and I used these with our quads at first but you need to set the flight controller to Spektrum. We were having weird issues where our quads would go into failsafe mode while they were still in close proximity. Switching to non Spektrum gear fixed this for us.

Rebind the helicopter to the transmitter as follows: 1. Turn the helicopter switch to "on" before turning on the transmitter. 2. Change the frequency switch on the transmitter from A to B before turning it on. 3. Turn on the transmitter and allow it to rebind.

Sorry, I do not know where you can find that information. When I bought my Hausler I had a Spektrum DX6i transmitter so I purchased a Spektrum receiver for the helicopter. I bought the AR6115e and it has worked flawlessly for me. You will be better off and much happier by doing what I did. The included radio does not have a very good track record for making adjustments easy. The DX6i on the other hand is quite easy to make adjustments to your set ups. I strongly suggest you take this route.

No. It is rtf. I also have a V911 and you can use either transmitter to fly either Heli.

I have a DX6i and it works great. The instructions come with setup information for most Spektrum transmitters. You can also just get the RTF version that comes with a transmitter (controller). The Spektrum computerized transmitters are nice if you intend to make this a hobby as you can store profiles for multiple helios/airplanes and just pick the one you are flying for the session, allowing you to save some money by getting the BNF versions.

Sorry for answering so late Mike! As of last year there were no transmitters that would bond with this product except the factory transmitter that was provided. I did hear "Hobby King" had one that is supposed to be universal. I can't verify that though. If you find something please let us know. :)

BNF = Bind and Fly. You need to have a BNF compatible transmitter already. You will probably need a flight battery and charger.RTF = Ready To Fly. Basic transmitter is included. Usually a flight pack and charger is included too.

There is a disk that comes with the helicopter so you can find tune programming already on the controller, unfortunately, there are absolutely no instructions. However, there are several instructional videos available on youtube to help. What I did was order a $24 spectrum receiver so I could bind the helicopter to my spectrum transmitter. Not sure if it's the best possible solution, but it worked for me. As mentioned by other owners, this is a good purchase if you've already flown other 6 channel collective pitch helicopters, if you purchase without that experience, you can look forward to the frustration of steep learning curve and some potentially expensive coaching. Good luck. There is a disk that comes with the helicopter so you can find tune programming already on the controller, unfortunately, there are absolutely no instructions.

The 120 sr rtf is ready to fly. It has all you need. This is a great heli to learn. Its good for indoor or outdoor in low winds. The 120sr bnf has all you need except a transmitter. You have to have a radio that u can bind to the receiver. Good luck. This is a nice heli to learn on.

A transmitter is the remote. You can get one on amazon. The best one for the money for this plane is probably the Spektrum DX5e.

Also I would recommend using some light 3in1 oil on the motor shafts for lubrication! My tail motor burned out... Now I am down till I get spare parts OR buy more than 1 helicopter to rest one while flying the other! You can buy a BNF helicopter for 20.00$ w/o the extra transmitter( just the helicopter) which means bind and fly using the same transmitter from the original purchased heli w/ transmitter!

No. It is the basic of basics. It is not radio controlled; it is infrared. The infrared will not pass through the sunlight. Even if it was able to operate outside, the helicopter is too light. The slightest wind will take it away. This is one I learned on but would not suggest it to anybody planning on making this a hobby. Blade has a lot of helicopters which you can purchase as "rtf" - radio included, or "bnf" bind and fly. I like bnf and have a DX6i radio. The bnf is cheaper because it does not come with a radio but if you have your own radio, you can bind it to any radio controlled vehicle as long as it has the appropriate receiver. Blade products have been good and Horizon Hobby has good support. I have 3 helicopters and 2 quadcopters. They all have their own settings and trim programmed into 1 radio. I hope that helps.
