It does fly. It took a little more motor power to get up off the ground. Maybe two clicks. It was a little tail heavy. I had to put the battery as far forward as I could get it and it is still a hair tail heavy. But it does fly well. I had training wheels on it so it could be the training wheels that are causing the tail heavy. I'm happy with it. Going to remove the training wheels.

I did notice I was getting more main blade pop from higher motor speed and tail motor speed. I do like it.

SYMA S030 momentary signal loss

I flew it 3 times last night. It happened once on 2 flights, twice on another...

It also could be interference from the fire detection system. There are several eyes looking across the hangar at each other, similar to what a garage door opener has, but of course much larger, and probably higher power.

Sort of a frustrating problem... Not that this is a high tech helo, but you are giving me numerous reasons to go brushless if I decide to keep dabbling in this hobby. The syma is now sort of slow... not much forward speed to it! I'm convinced that a signal loss will most likely do it in...
Otherwise it's a great helicopter, if you get in trouble, just stay with the power and hover!

I doubt it is the motors as they are sealed up pretty good.

whats wrong with my heli?

I don't know if your battery is your problem.

You DON'T want to drain your battery below 3.4 volts per cell or you may damage it. I'm assuming you have a Lipo battery. DO NOT FLY it until you get the proper charger and recharge the battery. You also want to read up on proper battery management. Lipo batteries are very dangerous. They can explode and catch fire. They can burn your house down. Learn about batteries (Lipo) before you do anything.

If it's a NiCad Battery you still want to charge the battery before you try to fly the helicopter. Again study about the different type batteries used in helicopters. Get a good Charger.

Good luck. Helicopters are allot of fun.

Hi,

When you say "head" did you mean the canopy?

Hi Flydoc,

If your in the US, you might try www.boomtownhobbies.com, they have some unbreakable skids for the CX2 and CX3, Also a lot of other upgrade parts. Their service is great but the freight is a little steep, so I usually wait till I have a small list of needed parts then order.

Ohhhh I'm tracking now, I got ya.

And about the USPS here...haha, where do I begin?

The local office had a temp fill in a few weeks back, on a day my wife was to receive a Japanese resin doll in the mail. For those who don't know, hose suckers are hundreds to thousands of dollars.

So the package gets tracked here, gets to the delivery persons hands...and disappears. One day she tells the office manager she turned it back in. The next, she doesn't remember any package. So my wife tries to file a lost package complaint, she's turned away and told that they no longer do that at the USPS. So she goes online and finds a number, calls it, and a couple of days later an investigative agent calls back. And he's called a few times since then, and is in negotiations with Canadian mail service as well. To make a long story as short as I can, both the Canadian postal service,(where the package originated from,) and this investigator are crawling over the office here because they apparently have a horrid track record with 'lost' (read: stolen) packages.

So I try not to order shipments through regular mail for now.

Just bought the same model as Reustle and having the same problems. Battery charged, all lights working, servos working but no rotor spin. I've been trying to decipher the translated Chinese instructions on how to re-bind the transmitter but so far no luck.

Shouldn't be a problem there Rusky, are you using the full Phoenix kit or a mix up. If the controller registers correctly for the computer and you have the Phoenix dongle it should run. What setup procedure are you using?

Ninco r/c helicopters - anyone got any experience with them?

Hi poWERrcforwomen,

Never come across a Ninco helicopter before, but I have tried to find out something on a quick search. A main Ninco dealer sold only Walkera helis which did not seem good. There was a YouTube video of a Brazilian dealer flying one but when I visited his site (in Portugese only) he did not, strangely enough, sell helicopters. However, there are some for sale on E-Bay, this would make it either very cheap and not worth having or very popular so that they can sell many. (Note the quality T-rex parts available on E-bay.)

I think from this that spares will be very hard to find, a search for Ninco helicopter spares gave no results at all.

My personal opinion is that this is a brand to avoid until it becomes as popular as E-filte, Walkera etc.
