Apache 3ch helicopter

[charliejh]

I purchased an electric apache 3 Ch helicopter via the internet.After charging it the first time i went to the back yard to practice flying.When i moved the controller nothing would happen.After a few minutes it seemed to kick in.I practiced for about 10 minutes without incident.I was hooked.After charging again i went to the yard for more flying time.When i moved the controller again nothing happened.The light on front of the copter is lit,and the controller light is on,but nothing happens.I contacted the internet supplier to send it back for an exchange and he told me if i flew it i bought it.Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?The instructions they supplied with the copter are very vague. Help!

being newbie i have 2 ideas. 1 is that you are not plugged in all the way with battery contact, and 2 is that i have to point antenna of controller at helo to get green light to go on.

Hi GSTER,thanks for the reply.This is my first rc helicopter.I checked the connection and its fine.It`s weird that the light on the remote and helicopter goes on but nothing happens.I purchaced it from the internet.I contacted the supplier and he is sending me a new remote.I hope this will work.

How did the new remote work and I too have purchased this same First Timers Helicopter and there isn't very much information that I'm finding either that breaks down or explains how to fly it better. Other than just taking outside or in the house and destroying it and replacing parts. If you have come across information or know of somewhere I can go to find this information please send me a post or private message and share what you've found and/or learned. Thanks and be blessed. Happy flying.

3rd rc helicopter is hard to fly. Go for the 4CH one. Esky, Blade CX are better.
