hi i have one of them too and the little srcew on the shaft comes loose ok some times it strips out then you have to replace it and tieten it down ok its slips in there on the shaft ok thats why they dont move trythat you might be ok check yoru batts. in the controller ok have any more questions feel free to ask thanks ,,, louis

Sometimes in a bad crash the gears can be damaged, and will not allow the rotors to turn... Most damaged parts can be replaced but the work is very tedious and the parts are very small.

The plastic gears in the center of the helicopter has small screws in them. they pull out and strip the threads after crashing. they sell a repair kit that have the top and bottom replacement gear.

You may have a bent rotor shaft and possibly the motor that drives the rotors may have shifted off alignment thereby preventing the gears from meshing together smoothly. Without seeing it with my own eyes, it is hard to tell... AMAZON does have vendors that sell replacement parts if needed. You can always go to your local hobby shop too and have them look at it.

George, ensure the cables under the body are connected correctly. The battery may also need charging. Once complete, hold the "up" position on the joystick for a couple of seconds. Aircraft propeller should begin to spin. If none of this works, contact manufacturer for troubleshooting and possible replacement.

this is much more difficult to fly than those with the 2 main rotors which spin in different directions, I bought a roll of plumber's solder and experimented with wrapping various amounts around the landing gear in various places on one side or the other, still no real joy, still very difficult to fly. I also changed the tail rotor as per the internet which helped somewhat. Does not take off well from the ground, likes to simply tip over, either launch it from your hand or a wooden stool at least 30" off the ground.

Definitely sounds like a defect. Mine goes forward and backward with no problems. I have noticed a vibration on the rotors that can occur, which keeps me from gaining altitude and makes it hard to maneuver. I exchanged for a new one, but periodically the same thing occurs, but only some of the time.

I was never able to fly this helicopter. It is poorly engineered and I would recommend that you return it and get your money back, if possible.

make sure you have all servos connected...take out all batteries in radio and plane to set again this might help hope this helps you Thanks Kelly

I had the same problem. It just doesn't have enough power. I think some fly, and some just don't. New batteries won't help. The quality control is inadequate, I guess. You might ask, "What did you expect for such a cheap helicopter?" Personally, I expected a helicopter, as opposed to a paperweight.

It's a simple operation, if you consider messing around with the tail rotor control until you get it just right.You may get lucky the first time and you're ready to go. Then again, it might be fifty times. ew...Patience is the key. Move the control to the right (or left) and make tiny adjustments from there. You should hit it easier that way.Good luck and keep flying,Dale

I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor. Make sure there isn't any hair wrapped around the post. It's amazing what these things can pick up when flying! 2. Purchase a new rotor because yours might be bent, keeping it from rotating. This happened to us before. You couldn't see the bend but when we replaced it, voila! If you've had this helicopter for awhile, it's possible that it's on its last leg. We have had these for several years and one is finally not turning the back rotor and it can't be fixed. We've gotten our money's worth out of it. However, if it's brand new, return it. Hope this helps! I have two suggestions for you. 1. Remove the plastic rotor.

Did you try to use the right trim? Sometimes these helicopters are not ready to fly out of box. You will need to do some adjustments which is normal. Check on the YouTube. YouTube got some good tips.

I crashed mine and hot glued it together and it worked fine for awhile. You really have to fly these in a open field. Over my years I always was impatient and was always the same outcome crashed planes!! I make a pledge no more flying around trees and houses!! GL

Not sure, but my tail rotor went out after maybe an hour or two of flight time in all. I had only had the thing about two in a half weeks and didn't really fly it that much...

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

I have owned 2 of these and the first was problematic, in that the tail rotor didn't turn, it lifted off just fine it wouldn't maneuver at all it drifted with the wind. I think you may more problems if it won't lift off at all.

It's fixed, don't know why, but does not work as advertised! The heli is great though and because the lift is on a non springed joystick it's better, if it did switch modes then it would use the other side as lift. Which can cause a crash since its spring loaded, I'm assuming they have other controllers that do that and generic adaptation caused the misprinting. Good luck! And don't forget to switch the h-l setting and then also you can change the servo arm to the farthest position and the copter can fly much faster

I didn't, it could be the motor is bad, or has the bearings over packed with lubricant. I would contact Air King/Lasko for further information and possible replacement motor or unit return.

Look closely to see if ur missing a part. We were missing a flap and ours has never flown correctly. It goes up in the air and then crashes. We had already thrown away the box when we realized it. Sad little girl at this house
