r u crash b4? i think most probably is the blade problem, try to check the blade 1st

Curious to know what could be the problem for the blade of a coaxial heli??

Yes. I crashed it multiple time and the blades do not looks smooth (got quite a lot of denting as crashed into wire fence and etc). So if I managed to get the blade replaced, it should fly back? Will try to check that out.

Thanks

Regards,
Chong

The stock battery is using :
SHIDA NI-MH 50AAA 800mAh 9.6v.

Wondering if possible for me to change that to other battery to "pro-long" the flight time.

I have interest in this hobby but will want to start "small" and get know to the parts, components and small modification before I can commit if I am really into spending big bucks for this expensive hobby.

that small little heli (most ppl would call it a toy) will never give u a taste or get to know any parts of a proper rc heli ... serious one laa

Ok ..... so I'll need to go into at least the esky lama
Will try to get one of that once the finance minister approve the budget

ESKY LAMA is a good way to get poison
it will teach some orientation .. after that LAMA it is a very very big step

maybe, very hard to say bcuz it related to ur motor, main gear...

for battery part the answer is yes, but u hav to remember the bigger capacity of battery the heavier it will hav
seem u r using nimh battery maybe u can try Lipo battery cuz it much lighter than nimh

Thanks.

Did another quick diagnostic on the problematic heli toy this morning. When increase the speed of the blade, it seems like it's moving left even I dial the gyro setting all the way to right to counter the movement.

If I control it to move left while still sitting on the floor (cause it cannot take off), the speed of the upper blade increase. But if I try to move right, the speed of the upper blade slows down and moving toward stationary while the lower blade still spinning.

So I am assuming there's a problem with the main gear connectivity here?

Looks like quite complicated to troubleshoot this issue and should I just save up and buy a proper one or keep on "troubleshooting" this piece of toy?

get a cheap radio with a USB ppm dongle (the ESKY one will do)
google and download FREE flight SIM software
install into PC ... then try to fly from the PC
by the time u can hover a trex500 in any direction for as long as u want in the SIM .. u can skip the SKY LAMA and jump straight to a real TREX .. hehehe

Ask you guys those with futaba 8fg.

I notice that there are 2 versions of 8fg coming from the factory. 1 is pre-programmed to suit heli and another one is for airplane, does this make a different if someone got the airplane version and use it for heli?


Hehehe, just know that futaba is giving away a free extra 7-ch receiver if you are buying certain model of radio ............

they are the same ... just the ratchet for throttle thingy
my radio has extremely detailed programming for both planes and heli

free 7 channel is true for non US buyers or not ?? hehehe

got mine yesterday....hsnt open it yet....

what's the difference of ratcheted throttle stick and spring loaded throttle?

Hohoho, just check and read carefully the super small disclaimer, yes ... it is applicable to dealer in US and Canada ... so malaysian ..... hopeless
