Where is a gyroscope on a RC helicopter?

on a ultra micro helis and cheap 3 channels it is built into the main board but on hobby grade helis like a Align Trex 550e it is externaly moumted.

How long will an RC helicopter run on a charge?

Flight times of an RC depend on many variables like motor, esc, battery, and flight techniques. However, you can expect around 10-15 minutes for most electric helicopter models.

How do you land a RC helicopter?

You slowly decrease power by lowering the throttle. Make sure the Helicopter is coming to the ground at a slow pace and gently. Do not rush, because this could cause a faulty landing. Lower the Helicopter to the ground and when it touches, you can cut the power.

Why won't my cloud force helicopter fly?

Firstly, read the instructions. You must sync the controller to the helicopter every time you turn off both controller and helicopter at the same time. Basically, you have to sync every time you fly.

The following is from the experience I had with the same helicopter the first day I opened the box that may also be a solution to your problem. I read the manual and sync'd the helicopter and controller as instructed. The LED in the helicopter stopped flashing signifying that sync has been completed. I increased the throttle and nothing happened. I repeated the sync and still nothing. I was getting increasingly frustrated as I do not like being stumped. I had planned on returning the helicopter the next day but made one last attempt to fly it. I repeated the exact same sync procedure I had done many times prior and this time it worked. I stopped and looked around and noticed that, because it was later in the night, I only had a hallway light on and not my kitchen and living room lights.

Moral of the story, check your lighting. I was using a granite counter top directly under bright florescent lights bars. I am guessing this interfered with the IR controller therefor functionality of the helicopter.

I suggest trying everything again under indirect light and a non reflective surface if possible. Good luck and I hope you get it working because it is a blast.

Do the lights on the Silver Bullet RC Helicopter turn on automatically?

Yes, but first you have to make sure you have charged the helicopter until the green "charge" light goes out (about 15 - 20 minutes if it's the first time you're charging it), and then you have to turn on the helicopter with the on-off switch that is right between the words "off" and "on" on the underside of the helicopter.

What is a gyro on a RC helicopter?

Although not having much experience with RC Helicopters, I have a pretty good answer: I believe, if I am not mistaken, that a Gryo (I think it is really called a Gyroscope) is a device which enables the helicopter to stay upright and not flip over, to the side, or any other direction that is what you want it to be.

What is the difference between a 2-channel and 3-channel RC Helicopter And which would be best for my sons who will want to fly them simulaneously?

2 channel RC systems have 2 control units like rudder and altitude.

3 channels control 3 control units like rudder, altitude and speed.

If you buy 2 RC systems get them so they transmit on separate radio channels. 1 radio channel for each helicopter. That way they will not interfere.

What is the difference between 2 channel, 3 channel and 3.5 channel remote control helicopters?

The more sophisticated the Helicopter toy the more channels it will have. This channel selection can be based on size and priced accordingly. Two channel helicopters allow for 2 types of control, 3 and 3.5 channel will have these types of control speed and gyro stabilization, plus potentially others as well.

What is a good make for RC helicopters?

The Diamond Force Ultra durable helicopter is the best choice. It is remote control operated, and should last as long as 10 minutes in flight. Your son should be entertained for hours with this model.

The Green DragonFly 2-Channel Radio Remote Control Helicopter is very durable.

Can you use a TV antenna for a remote control helicopter antenna?

If the TV antenna was built for the correct frequency, it would work but my second thought is do you want the antenna to send a directional signal? I would think a "omni" signal (all direction pattern) would be a better choice. Most TV antennas are directional.

My gyro rc helicopter is working but won't move forward for some reason how do I fix it?

Try adding a small amount of weight to the front of the helicopter. This should offset the balance towards the front slightly. You can also try adjusting the trim of the helicopter forwards. On the remote look for a set of small buttons. They control the trim. Adjust it forward by pressing multiple times during flight.
