Walkera 4G1B

[koni]

Hi all,

I have a walkera 4G1B on order which is due to arrive tomorrow.

is there a battery upgrade for this heli ? it has at stock at 3.7v 1000mah lipo battery, which gives around 8 - 10 mins flying time.

is there a battery that anyone could recomend that will give me more air time ?

thanks in advance

ok, so i went to take it out for a first test flight and encountered a problem.. lol

Iam a beginner with this type of heli, all i have flown is cheap 3ch syma's so this is my first 4ch heli with a bit of poke.

when i go to take off it seems to just bank to the left and will not even get off the ground, i cant see what is causing this at all.

no matter how much throttle i apply it just tips left.

at home on the wood flooring it seems to drift left as soon as the rotors spin

any advice would be great, if there is a simple solution to this it would be fantastic if someone could let me know what it is.

Thanks in advance

wayne.

I have one of these also i have two 3.7v 1300 mah battery's bought them ages ago from hong kong but sorry cannot remember were from.

Thanks for the reply.

what i did in the end, i managed to get 5x 3.7v 1000mah walkera batteries from ebay for £21.00 for the lot from china, so on the battery front iam all sorted.

the drifting i understand is normal for fixed pitch heli's, plus the swash plate was slightly out on level, for which i have made an adjustment, it still goes left on take off but no where near what it was doing.

Hi there. Yes a heli with a main rotor rotating clockwise when viewed from above will always drift to the left. Reason: thrust to counter this torque provided by the tail rotor has a component also acting to push the heli to the left [when viewed from behind].

Whatever the heli, get used to setting it up, and get even more used to being pedantic doing that.

Too be honest my 4g1b tail is awful never stops in one place and always having to adjust the trim as the battery voltage drops.

i have noticed that, as the battery voltage goes down it just spins and you have to adjust trim all the time.

your not alone lol
