mini RC helicopters

@Jerry: Usually they ship half of your order and then show "shipped" on the order status while part of the order is still waiting for supplier. I can't order from ebay, my account was blocked long time ago "forever" lol

 

[lasersbee]

Yeah... the Non-Helicopter stuff I ordered WAS shipped...
But the Hellies are Pending...:cryyy:

Interesting little helicopters, but I think I will stick to my MCX and MSR. Parts are available locally so wait times are significantly reduced! I'm sometimes tempted to get a larger heli, but I'm already into r/c rock crawling...

 

[Deleted member 8382]

Mine shipped today!

 

[HumanSymphony]

Soon, good sir. Tis charging How long does it take? and where is this so-called "red light" that comes on when it's done?

 

[lasersbee]

About 30 minutes to charge from empty...
The Light Depends on how you are charging it.
On mine charging from the Xitter... the charge LED
is on the Transmitter.

If charging from the supplied USB Charger... the LED
is in the USB plug end...

Has anyone here bought the 3-Channel RF R/C Apache Helicopter or should I´m going to be the first one?

 

[HumanSymphony]

Here is my crappy video of my heli in action!
Accompanied by the lovely tune of my favorite underground hip-hopper

 

[lasersbee]

Not that crappy... I've seen a lot worse..
You seem to be getting the hang of the flying..

I'm wondering if we disconnect the front LEDs if we
would get longer flight times.... although they can be
used for night flying.. Maybe a mini-switch...Hmmm..

The flying's easy. It's the throttle that needs lots of attention. Gotta constantly tweak it otherwise it'll either hit the ceiling or drop to the floor

A switch for the LEDs is a good idea maybe even a swap out the battery for one with higher capacity.

On another note this little thing is TOUGH lol. Crashed it countless times Lovin the lexan blades very nice.

Oh yes! Definitely already thought about strappin a laser to this bad boy :na:

EDIT: oh and one more thing...

IT'S MY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY!!!

series with the 3.7V flight battery...
