My helicopter won't stop spinning! There are four possibilities: * It is possible that the tail pushrod length or servo position needs to be adjusted to provide the correct amount of tail rotor thrust. You might want to look at our cyclic trimming guide. Most pilots just input a small stab of right cyclic as they come off the ground. You can get small wedges that fit between the helicopter body and the skids to put the helicopter close to the correct angle before it leaves the ground. Why does my helicopter drift to the left? Can I trim that out? Why does my helicopter lean in the hover? Assuming your swashplate is level, and your helicopter is correctly balanced, your helicopter drifts to the left due to translating tendency. Trouble Shooting Drifting in one direction Blades should be mounted so they are traveling thick edge first. The tail rotor should rotate so that the blades come 'up' towards the front of the heli. What direction are the blades supposed to rotate? Viewed from above, the main rotor of nearly all model helicopters rotates clockwise (a coaxial of course has one set rotating in each direction). Changing the sign from positive to negative (or vice versa) reverses the direction of that control. Then use you transmitter's CCPM parameters (also called Swashplate mixing, and a variety of other things) to get collective, aileron and elevator moving in the correct direction by the correct amount. Use servo reversing to get the servos moving the swashplate up and down together when the throttle/ collective is used. I can't get my swashplate to move in the correct direction on my Trex, Mini Titan, or other CCPM helicopter! We have an entire page on CCPM setup, but it may be more than you're looking for right now. Cheap radio systems on ready to fly helicopters can be prone to dangerous glitching at the best of times. If this happens with a 2,4GHz system, then you need to rebind your receiver and transmitter to set up the failsafes correctly. Always switch on the transmitter, and then the helicopter, and afterwards switch off the helicopter first and then the transmitter. I switched my transmitter off and the helicopter went mad and killed itself! Don't do that. What's the difference between collective pitch, fixed pitch, and coaxial helicopters? See Helicopter types. What do the different size numbers mean? See Helicopter sizes. Larger helicopters could easily dismember and kill. Larger helicopters, such as the 450 sized T-Rex could easily cause a lot of blunt impact trauma and moderate to severe lacerations requiring medical attention, but I suspect not much permanent damage unless the victim were unlucky. Small helicopters such as coaxials may sting a bit if flown into someone. The primary danger comes from the main rotor, and to a lesser degree the tail rotor. You could try our Beginners start here page, which isn't very good at the moment, but contains a few links to places that are.Īre model helicopters dangerous? Most mechanical items are dangerous if operated carelessly. In the end, it is likely your circumstances will dictate which way you go if you are flying in a public place, anything larger than a 450-sized electric helicopter is likely too dangerous. The other school suggests starting with one of a variety of small electric helicopters, on the grounds that they are much cheaper to crash. One school suggests getting a large helicopter, such as a 30-sized nitro powered helicopter, as these are more stable, and thus easier to fly. There are two schools of thought regarding a first helicopter. Beginners are often recommended to work through Radd's school of rotary flight. If you wish to take it further, your best bet would be a simulator, which will very quickly pay for itself. If you just want a small helicopter to buzz around the house or sports hall, there are a number of small electric coaxial helicopters that are relatively easy to fly with some practice. If you don't have access to such a group, then it is not impossible to teach yourself to fly, at a price. Most countries have a model aeronautics body that can help you find your local flying group. What is the best way to go about this? Welcome to the fold! Probably the best way to learn to fly is to find a group of like minded people locally and ask their advice. I want to learn to fly model helicopters.
