Hi, my ufo would just fly for 32 to 3 seconds and then it would stop and drop. you throttle again and it would to the same thing. Any ideas?

it sounds like the remote was disconnecting I would try a different channel. I have never had any problems with mine

You get what you pay for. Any flying machine under 50 bucks has a high probability of disappointment.

We got it to work and fly OK but as with all planes you do crash and break parts and we have been unable to get parts. So after the second days crash it is basically useless. Did yours come with a parts breakdown and source? Ours had nothing. I have never bought any RC vehicle that did not come with a parts breakdown and source.

Hello Justin, It's more on/off rather then Variable. It will give you a jolt when you turn the throttle. Good Luck! Allen Tulkoff

Ours worked great until we crashed it way too many times. After that it would get more than about 6 inches off the ground. So if you have crashed it a bunch, that might be the reason why

Sounds to me like the electronic board is out or the servos are bad! You could try to send it back to the manufacturer but I don't know about warranty??? Maybe you just got a bad product! I don't even fly mine for now due to tail rotor motor burnout! It was a pretty sturdy little helicopter while it lasted! I crashed it a bunch and kept on flying! They are cheap so in the end you get what you pay for! I thought about buying a couple of them then you could use a broken one for parts. Hope I answered your question! Sorry my response is so late!

Hi - we had trouble getting it to stay flying. I regret buying this!! More trouble than it was worth. Best of luck

Maybe 15 or 20 minutes. I can't say we really know for sure since it crashed after the 2nd or 3rd time we tried to fly it and now needs to be fixed.

Make sure your throttle trim is all the way down, and that your throttle stick is as well, while initializing. It is a safety thing these radios have so it can't fly off as soon as it binds, and you have time to get your hands clear. Also, try holding the transmitter close to the heli as it binds.

READ BEFORE DIAGNOSING A BAD BATTERY!!! I just received this item today and loved it my first 3 flights. I charged it back up, and then it wouldn't take off all the sudden. I immediately thought it was the battery not being charged enough and this thread made me think that even more. BUT, the more I tried to make it work I noticed the top rotor moved slower and slower. If you can pull the top rotor off without loosening screws, you've found the issue! There are two screws in the sides of the top rotor that tighten on the center pin that spins it. I tightened these and my entire issue was resolved, and I had IDENTICAL symptoms as the people above. Happy troubleshooting!

Hasn't happened to me. I always check to see if have position and altitude hold working as soon I start the flight. Worse thing was having one of the prop capnuts come loose and the propeller coming off at about 150 feet in the air. That possibility has been lessened on the new version with reverse threads on the clockwise props. Still a good idea to check tightness before each flight.

Is your heli completely charged? Is the throttle all the way up? If so, try holding the heli in your hand, throttle all the way up and let go. If the heli spins and drops, you have a loose motor gear and it needs to be replaced. This is a pretty simple repair, I've done it on 3 of my helis, but if yours came this way new I would have it replaced.

My only suggestion would be to contact Syma. I have 2 of these helicopters and never had this problem.

Right after it beeps, push the left joystick all the way up and then back down. If that doesn't work, reset the controller by pressing the left button under the left joystick and push up on the left stick at the same time. That's all the intruction MY manual gave me! Mine is un-flyable now because the controller isn't communicating with the aircraft anymore=/ Unfortunately, it was a waste of $70!

Hi Susan; Not sure about what your's are doing but My V913 has those Blades were loose when I got mine and other problem when the Transmitter batteries were low it acted strange. Can you still fly it with trimming from your transmitter.Need more what it's doing to figue it out.Good Luck Barry

I have this same helicopter and I turn on power to helicopter first and then the power to remote, making sure throttle stick in all the way down position. then when the remote stops beep ,I push throttle quickly all the way up then quickly back down and it will connect, if it does not just try again. Hope this helps. This helicopter is fun to fly.

Not sure, but my tail rotor went out after maybe an hour or two of flight time in all. I had only had the thing about two in a half weeks and didn't really fly it that much...

That is how I'm using it. No ailerons for me either. It will try to output, but no servos will be connected, so it just goes nowhere. The other two work just fine this way.
