Do maple tree helicopters get trapped? The holes seem to be small enough to repel them. Thanks.

I have not seen them get caught, the holes are only about 1/8" in diameter, and the wind usually takes them away.

No, maple seeds will not get trapped. I found that leaves and other larger tree debris blows off of the gutter guard.

They do not get trapped. That is one of the main reasons I purchased and installed them.

The seed end of the copter does barely get trapped in the hole, but I believe they will come out on their own with the winds help.

i don't remember so much if they fly the same. but i do remember i got no penetration on the deer and coyote i shoot with them. both shots were under 30 yards. had to track both animals for hours. i don't use them anymore.

Leaves and small branches are not a problem, but if you have bags of them it is only a small top to put them in, the problem is the limbs, they state a certain size but you never have a perfectly round branch so it will not go thru. It only takes small branches, that is the only time it will stall.

It does fine with leaves but I would imagine the design would not do that well with helicopter seeds because the aera is too small for the flaps to hold on to.

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.

We experienced the "submarineing" to begin with. To solve that the riders need to keep their weight back until you can pick up speed. Once you are up and running at a decent speed it doesn't dive anymore. We had the same problem on other pull tubes in the past. I'm not sure about the holes you mentioned. Hope this helps. Eric

Answer here...Got rid of mine, will never buy one of those small helicopters again. Waste of money and a headache.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

Although it is not designed to trap birds I GUESS that a bird could get tangled in it... BUY it like most others are designed to keep birds off of your trees and vegetable. I Have used these in my garden and fruit trees and have NEVER had a bird trapped.

The helicopter can be detached from the blue piece on the roof. Also, the blue piece can be detached from the shed. For some reason, my 2 year old grandson loves to detach it and fly the helicopter around unattached. He will also ask to have the helicopter re-attached so he can whirl it around and hear Harold the Helicopter sounds.

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

The on/off switch on the bottom of the helicopter is so small that it's a bit tricky. Make sure that you're moving it fully into the on position. I thought something was wrong with mine when I got it, but it was because I didn't do the switch right.

I use a kayak and that sucker (pun intended) stays put. In fact, I have trouble removing it when I am done. It does not move at all when I am paddling through undergrowth either.

If flown in very light winds, and you watch which way they are going to drift so they don't get in a tree or power line, it is unlikely they will come down before burning out. However, I fly mine only when there is snow cover. They fly better in cold air anyway. I preheat mine with a single burner Coleman stove with a short length of stovepipe placed over the burner. Preheat till it is filled and lifting, then light the fuel cell, and it will fly high and last a long time.

No, it is not an issue for my two kittens. They play with the strings (paw at them), IF they even notice them, they are usually too hyper from running through the tunnel to pay them any mind. I have been using the strings to attach the tunnel to their cat tree so they connect together (which eliminates the strings dangling freely. I am thinking you could also tape them to the side of the chute so they do not attract their attention). We've had the chute for about a month and it does get a lot of use, but the strings are not an issue for us.

There has to be movement triggering the sensor..... could it be birds, blowing branches in it's line of sight?? An animal?? If so, you may need to move it or angle it differently or move it to another location....
