Purchased this unit in October for Christmas gift - It will not fly - the remote does not talk to the helicopter?

Read the directions first; you have to move the accelerator knob all the way up and leave it there for a few seconds as the heli and control link up. Then move the accelerator to lowest position then back to full gas. it should run then.

Make sure you turn on the helicopter then turn on the control and wait few seconds to star enjoy

Call humminbird, they will give you a service number to write on the box and they will tell you the address to send it to, they fixed mine for free and it works perfectly now! Only took a few days to get it back after I sent it out too.

Jerry,My only suggestion would be that if there is a pin missing, that is a factory error and you should have DJI or whatever store you bought it from replace the whole copter. Can you send me a picture of what you're talking about and I'll compare it to mine and see what I can come up with? I'm usually pretty good at figuring these things out. Email me directly at: darrenofficer@yahoo.com

It uses batteries in the controller to charge a capacitor in the helicopter. The charge lasts more than long enough to break the drive gears in the first or second flight so it will no longer fly. I had no response from numerous email and calls to world tech toys. Save your money...

exact same problem with mine...only it flew once right out of the box, worked great...recharged it then tried to fly it again and just like yours, rotors spin and the copter spins but it wont take off...

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

it is quite possible it is defective(it happens) if you 1 -turn on transmitter FIRST then set heli on a FLAT surface. turn on heli and wait about 3 sec. the built in gyro will engage . NOT doing this will cause all sorts of problems. check the balance everything should be factory balanced.also look at r/c flight school.com lots of info there.GOOD LUCK.

Try replacing the batteries. If this does not work, contact customer service for replacement of remote under warranty.

With the control sticks in a neutral position, does the helicopter hover steady or does it moves backwards? If it moves backwards, then the controls need adjusting. If it hovers steady, then something is wrong with the controls and I suggest returning it.

You can fix it by trimming (balancing) the helicopter through the remote control. Please refer to instructions manual for details.

Change the batteries and try it. Return unit if it still doesn't work properly.

You probably need to balance it. In the center of the remote there's a dial. While hovering, slowly move it from the middle to either the right or left. When the copter is no longer pulling to either side, it should be balanced. If you can't reach balance, it may be defective.

I had the same problem. Original remote battery bank shorted batteries together (no red power light). Seller sent a replacement (working remote, but wrong freq despite specifying 49Mhz vs 27Mhz). Third remote was right freq but for wrong model helicopter (no lights or speed control) and it would not sync AT ALL. I ended up taking the 49Mhz remote and using the good battery bay to fix my original remote. Other 27Mhz remote had a different circuit board and different enclosure that was of no benefit.

Turn everything off. Slide the switch on one remote to position "A", turn on that remote, then turn on one helicoper. Then the blinking green light on that helicoper stops blinking, that helicopter is set to frequency "A". Next turn the other remote switch to "B" and turn it on, and then switch on the second helicopter. When the second helicopter's green light stops blinking, it it set to frequency "B". Happy flying.

Sounds to me like the electronic board is out or the servos are bad! You could try to send it back to the manufacturer but I don't know about warranty??? Maybe you just got a bad product! I don't even fly mine for now due to tail rotor motor burnout! It was a pretty sturdy little helicopter while it lasted! I crashed it a bunch and kept on flying! They are cheap so in the end you get what you pay for! I thought about buying a couple of them then you could use a broken one for parts. Hope I answered your question! Sorry my response is so late!
