Control Helicopter Apache
Malfunction with my RC Feralbeast Apache helicopter, Engine wont start, please help!?
We just got our RC Feralbeast W.a.r. Bird apache helicopter 4channel!
The thing says ready to fly, put new battieries in the transmitter (controller) and charged the other battery to full, plugged it all in and when i start it up the lights come on, and when i push around the control sticks the propellers turn a bit and seem to work fine in that aspect
the problem however, is that the engine refuses to start, it doesnt buzz or anything, it just doesnt start, i did as the manual said and turned the throttle trim all the way down before starting the controller, and turning it up after i turn it on does nothing.
so in a nutshell, everything works including the transimitter(controller) except the rotors/engine. the controller sticks show that the blades mvoe to the sides when pressing left or right but refuse to spin and i dont know how to make it start.
any help? i dont want to have wasted $160 on my pretty warbird to have it not work >.<
Huge thanks in advance,
Rob
Did you let the throttle down and wait about 15 seconds? Usually when you turn on both the controller and helicopter, it takes a while for the radio to syncronise with the receiver. Usually the light in the receiver is red when it is arming and when it is finished, it turns green. so during the arming process, you arent suppose to move any of the control sticks.
Also, try unplugging both motors and plugging them back in.
If that doesnt work, then you have to return it... you got a paperweight on your hands. Possibly a broken receiver.
I ruled out other possibilities because it just doesn't seem reasonable. Like two defective motors.
