We understand why the radio-controlled helicopter with Planeta Hobby does not take off

1. Why doesn't a radio-controlled helicopter take off?

So, you are the owner of a radio-controlled helicopter. You are pleased with its capabilities, you like to fly at high speed and perform different feints, but one day is not very beautiful, you notice that the model does not work as it should. A radio-controlled helicopter does not take off, it is spinning in one place, although it seems to be working properly. Do not rush to carry it to the dump! We will show you how to eliminate the cause of the breakdown, and you will continue to enjoy helicopter flights, as if nothing had happened.

Why doesn't a radio-controlled helicopter take off?

• If you turned on the helicopter and noticed that its blades are not rotating fast enough, it is most likely that the problem lies in the drive system. It is necessary to inspect the viscera of the apparatus, namely the engine, for worn gears. If any, replace them.
• If a radio-controlled helicopter does not fly high enough or moves along the floor altogether (drives), it is worth checking the battery. It may be discharged, which is why the model does not have enough power to take off.
• If the blades of your model rotate at the required speed, but the machine itself either spins in one place, or puts it in the side, it may be that the main shaft malfunctions. Such a failure most often occurs due to falls or collisions with furniture.

What if the helicopter on the radio does not take off?

First, determine what caused the fault. The first two reasons described above are easy enough to identify and eliminate, and there will be no trouble with the third one. Now we will tell you more about how to fix it.

Often such a misfortune happens with coaxial helicopters. The owner of the device notices that the main rotor's shaft rotates, which is why the lower blade rotates as usual, and the top one practically does not rotate. The solution to the problem is very simple - you need to tighten the shaft. Please note that in the upper part there are screws that secure the blade.

A few more commonplace reasons why a helicopter on the radio does not take off:

• Blades installed incorrectly;
• The battery has failed due to improper operation (overcharging, storage in a discharged state);
• Settings are incorrect.
