Helicopters

  • Can I change a Micro Rescue main blade?
    Yes, grip the lower white gear with one hand, then twist while pulling on the rotor head. It should slip off. Simply press on the new main blade assembly.

    This also applies to the Micro Ranger.

  • Can I put a larger battery in my Ozone?
    Going to a larger battery would upset the balance point of the helicopter, requiring weight to be added to the back. An increase in the overall weight would make the motors work harder and possibly wear out faster. They would have to operate at a higher throttle setting to compensate for the extra weight. Overall the increased flight time would be offset by worse flight characteristics, and increased wear and tear on the motors.

  • What's the flight time for an Ozone?
    10 - 12 minutes of flight with a fully charged battery.

  • What's the flight time for a Beacon?
    10 - 12 minutes of flight with a fully charged battery.

  • The blades won't track on my 3DXL.
    The feathering spindle may be bent. You would want to remove it and roll it along a flat surface such as a piece of glass to see if there is a bend to it.
