How to Control RC Indoor Helicopters

RC indoor helicopters are tiny remote-controlled helicopters with simplified flight controls. Lightweight and rugged, indoor helicopters can be operated without fear of breaking the helicopter or the surrounding furnishings. You can control your helicopter by using a combination of throttle and rudder controls to alter altitude and direction. Once you've mastered the basics, you'll be able to take your helicopter from simply hovering off the ground to performing low-flying acrobatics. 

RC

Place the helicopter on a flat surface and make it lift off by applying slight pressure to the throttle stick on your radio transmitter, moving the throttle forward. 
Check your helicopter for any spin movement as it rises. When you lift your unadjusted RC helicopter it may change direction without input from the rudder controls, constantly spinning to either the left or the right without moving forward. Trim the helicopter using the trim control knobs on the remote control to compensate for the unwanted movement. 
Release the throttle slowly, pulling back on the throttle stick slightly to land the helicopter back on the flat surface. Adjust the trim control on your remote by turning the trim knob in the opposite direction of the helicopter's turning movements. Make small adjustments to the trim controls, and test your helicopter after each adjustment until it rises without turning in place, pointing in a consistent direction while gaining altitude. 

RC indoor heli

Press the throttle forward and move the rudder stick on the receiver left to right to turn the tail of your helicopter and change its forward orientation. To increase or decrease the altitude of your helicopter, increase or decrease the amount of throttle movement, moving it forward or backward. 
Point the helicopter in the direction you want it to fly, and increase the throttle while at the same time applying slight pressure to the rudder. The helicopter will move forward slightly, curving in the direction of the rudder movement. For turns, center the throttle and press the rudder to the left or right. 
Do not fly indoor helicopters where they may hit other people or pets. The rotors operate at a high speed that could cause injury.

How to Fix an Electric RC That Won't Move

Assuming you have good batteries in the vehicle and the transmitter and you've turned on the ON switch, if the RC won't move forward or backwards there are a couple of things to check and repair. But first, make sure you've checked all these othercommon reasons that an RC won't run. 
 
Answer: Noise, Yes. If you can hear the RC running but it makes some kind of noise, perhaps a grinding or whirring sound when you apply throttle then you may have a slipped pinion gear. You may be able to remesh the gears or you might need to replace the gears completely if they are stripped. On a toy RC, replacement can be tricky (and just getting to the drivetrain on some toy RC is challenging) but for hobby-grade RC you can usually purchase replacement parts.

The gear ratio setup helps determine things like speed and power. Some gear setups provide your RC with a lot of get-up-and-go right off the line while others may have you starting off more slowly but give your RC more top end speed. 

Changing your gear ratio setup is most often a bit of trial and error, mixing and matching different spur gears with different sizes of pinion gears. Often RC will come with a selection of different size gears so you can choose the setup that works best for you. 
Each of these tutorials talk about different aspects of finding the right gear ratio and other tweaks.

Noise, No. If your steering works but you hear no noise, you may have a loose wire. Trace all the wires to and from your motor looking for loose connections or broken wires. On a toy RC the wires will generally run to a circuit board. 

It may be necessary to resolder any loose or broken connections. If there is no steering, no noise, and no movement it's possible you have a bad or worn out motor that needs replacing or the wires to and from the batteries are loose or disconnected. On a hobby grade RC it could be your receiver that's the culprit. Try plugging your servos into a different receiver (with a matching frequency) to see if it works.

If you can't fix it up, you could buy a new one. I know a great website.My friends and I always buy from rctophobby.com.It is a wonderful online rc shop.

Easy to Fly-Art-Tech Camouflage MD500

The Art-Tech Camouflage MD500 is a 4 channels radio controlled electric helicopter withco-axial, twin rotor bladessystem. It is easy to fly for the beginner, which possesses thecharacteristics of high sensitivity and full control of the realhelicopter.
The Art-tech Camouflage MD500has been designed with anfinely-crafted authentic scale appearance with highly detailedfuselage.
Finally, 2.4 Gigahertz equipment use less current tooperate than standard frequency systems. This results inlonger flight time and longer life of your transmitter andreceiver batteries! This helicopter is one of the largestdual-rotor in the market. This helicopter also has an optionto in stalla wireless camera (not included) for live viewing on your PC monitor or TV!!!

Art-Tech Camouflage MD500

Furthermore,because of the Twin-Rotor-Coaxial-Twin-Rotordesign, the helicopter has extreme stability in taking steady videos & pictures.Its unique design makes it easy toconfigure, control, and more fun to fly. It is designed totrainpilots and entertain them by delivering a stable flyingplatform capable of controlled indoor and outdoor flight course. 
The MD500 Camouflage has two sets of main rotorsand a freewheeling tailrotor that does not affect flight.
Thecounter-rotating main rotors eliminate the need for tail rotorcompensation because they move in opposite directions,canceling each other rotational torque.
In addition, the bladesets give it an added bit of gyroscopic stability, which allowsmere mortals to hover it with prowess. The lower rotorprovides cyclic control for the heli. To yaw the helicopter(leftand right), one of the main rotors either slows down or speedsup to create an imbalance in torque.

 Camouflage MD500

This results in the Eagle Eye turning in the direction oppositeto the rotation of the faster moving rotor. Since the MD500Hughes is fixed pitch, collective control is governedexclusively by throttle.On the MD500 Camouflage, the rollcyclic is a bit more responsive than its pitch cyclic (fore/aftcontrol). This is because the very small range of cyclic controlcan more easily roll the heli than it can pitch it along thelength of the body.The MD500 Hughes is a beginner-friendly Art-Tech RC helicopter enjoyed by inexperienced experienced flyers. 
This attribute actually helps make the MD500Camouflage stable. For a heli of this size, the responsivenesson both axes is appropriate. For beginners, flying the MD500 Camouflage out of ground effect (first few inches off theground) is not difficult either. Unlike other micros, theMD500 Camouflage tends to rise evenly rather than skateacross the floor laterally.
If you punch the throttle, it has nohesitation in climb either. Optional Li-poly battery will help toachieve better performance and longer flight time.If you want to get more information about the rc helicopter,please log in rctophobby to find.
