Re: RC helicopter from CVS for $24.99 Blue hat toy company

My hoverlite flies, not very stable. Spinning stops after some tweaking and about 10 seconds of flight. Not a very responsive helicopter.

In the process of gutting a blackhawk toy helicopter (toys r us - $20 USC) and going to install the hoverlite engine/prop and tailrotor. The tailrotor has its own motor and my hypothesis is that the weight of the blackhawk will help ease some of the spinning... not expecting better flight control.

I weighed in the vehicles and adjusted a practice flight with weights on the hoverlight to simulate the weight of the finished product with good results... it could still take off. My biggest challenge will be mounting the fuselage and engine together so they stay together.

I'll try posting a picture/video link when finished.
