Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Air Models / December 2008Sky Scrambler falls over
Hi, I was given a cheapo Sky Scrambler RC helicopter for Christmas. I've tried to fly it but when I crank up the throttle to get it airborne, it just tips over on its right hand side. Can anyone tell me what is going on? The throttle and trim appear to be working correctly. Cheers Peter. > Hi, > I was given a cheapo Sky Scrambler RC helicopter for Christmas.

Then crank up the rpm to max for takeoff and be prepared to use the tail rotor to retrim as rotor speed increases. The torque effect changes all the time needs constant correction.

I am surprised that a lack of oomph in the batteries would cause it to list to one side. Still, all part of the learning process.

Hi, 6 new batteries, 40 minutes charge, slightly less erratic but still out of control :( Cheers Peter. >> Hi, >> I was given a cheapo Sky Scrambler RC helicopter for Christmas.

I got the nano- copter from John Lewis (cost £30 I believe), with practice flies controllable circuits but wish I had a larger room- without curtains. Collisions with the wall are usually recoverable, but hit the Curtains and you're dead! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=775827 happy new year P |
