Well unfortunately the seller is refusing to replace it or give back my money. I have filed a complaint with ebay we will see if it does me any good.
Thanks for all your help and replies.

Ebay and paypal are pretty much worthless in terms of getting things resolved. Ebays usage fees have also become ridiculous over the years. My wife uses something called etsy to seel/buy hobby items on. You may check them out next time for heli things, I don't know they they carry them or not though.

Best part I found there was this!
http://www.etsy.com/listing/66994166/solar-powered-wooden-toy-helicopter?ref=sr_gallery_11&ga_ref=auto&ga_search_query=helicopter&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

Should fly as well as some of the Mall cheapies. At least the rotor will turn while the sun shines.

Tom.

Thanks Mike,

If I can spread a little laughter as I go then I'm content.

Happy and peaceful new year to all.

I got my Sky King 8501 yesterday, only went to use it today as i was at work last night when it came in. The heli had some power in the battery when it arrived to i got a few mins out of it before it went flat. I have since gone to charge it, plug it into the wall first, then add the balance charger, then plug it into the heli with its battery cooled. Problem is the plug pack that plugs into mains power has blown, the LED indicator doesnt work and no power is getting to the balance charger. Nice christmas present.....

I have contacted the ebay seller about it and im waiting on a reply.
Ebay seller is Keygos

This will almost certainly have ruined the helis' battery Insomniack. You should NEVER run a li-po battery flat. Less than 3V charge/cell will ruin it for life. Most of us land before 3.2V/cell.

we just put batteries in ours and it did take a bit putting the left controll down and then then up and back down, is the red light is flash put throttle stick down count to ten and then put throttle stick up but make sure someone is holding on to it because it will take off once the red light goes solid and it has a lot of lift scared the heck out of hubby when it finally started up. How did your hubby take the cab off?
