HELI WONT TAKE OFF!!!!

[Made2Fade]

I would take it back to the place you bought it from. It sounds like your motor has gone or your transmitter could be faulty. Did you try reversing the throttle channel? If you do make sure you have the heli pinned down so it doesnt take off.

Am I the only one who doubts the claim that these things are ALL flown before leaving the factory???

I assume they are all made in China for a bowl of rice? Cannot see the cost effectiveness of test flights? on EVERY one?

I have owned a Twister Bell47 for 2 weeks, it arrived - I charged the battery - so, 1 hour later I started it up ... got light on the skids and BANG the flybar came loose 8O ............. the carrier had split, now, come on - this was faulty when I received it. So was it test flown? was it damaged when packing away after the test flight?

Whatever it was I was not ready for the attitude of the supplier and importer ................... tough luck mate kinda sums it all up, which is quite staggering in the year 2006!

Anyway, take it back ......... but be ready for the assumption that YOU have bust it and you are on your own!!

Look if you honestly believe that cheap helicopters mass produced in some back street in china somewhere are all "test flown" then your in for dissapointment.

If they really where test flown then you would get a signed test certificate with each heli. I don't see any sort of certificate with my twister bell.

But then i checked mine over when i had it and made sure it was all holding itself together..

Sureley not 8O :?

People wouldnt just believe any old thing that some company says to them without considering the possibility of it being untrue would they?.....

If the sales of preflown models are to be believed, then there must be an army of pilots testing them.

I bought a twister for my daughter to learn on and had the same problem with the flybar carrier splitting. When I did get it airborne, it was unflyable. I took it back and got a hummingbird instead.

Hi id like a bit of advice too if possible been repairing my dragonfly 36 for the last 2 months with decent bits of hovering in between ive loved every crash up until now . My problem is this up until now everythings been pretty ok but now with nose pointing away from me when i power up the heli keeps trying to fly to the left ive checked the swash with a spirit level and its as level in all directions as i can get it the blades are balanced and the paddles seem to be pretty level and equally spaced from the shaft which is straight (even with the adjusting slide on the tx all the way to the left it still happens ) please help also how loose should the ball links be ? mine have lots of movement from the grips

Try putting the trim to the right or did you mean that in your post??? If its a right main blade rotating heli then it will take off to the left anyways. The trick with electric helis is to get them off the ground quickly. This then gets rid of the ground effect and the heli tends to move to the left less.
