Kevin Murray 1 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi all, New to RC Helicopters really so i'm still very much in the learning phase, I recently bought a Wltoys V912 4ch heli which seemed to work ok or that is what I thought seeing as it was my first 4ch heli, I did crash it twice (not badly) before managing to get it to hover quite successfully although it always wanted to drift right and slightly forward before the crashes anyway, My problem now is after a few heavy landings the rear rotor isn't working correctly as in intermittent or stops completely unless manually pushed to spin, Will I need a new motor or is this fixable ?,Any help would be greatly appreciated as I did enjoy flying and learning before the problem rear rotor issue. Thanks Kevin Edited By Pete B - Moderator on 02/04/2019 20:29:55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Carpenter Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I have flown one of these and was impressed for the £50 the owner paid . If everything passes a visual inspection and the tail rotor hasn't pushed down the motor shaft stopping it rotating , then pop in a spare parts motor. Seem to be about a £5 !!

Mark Stevens 1 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Depending on how you landed it, you may need a new main board, they don't like heavy landings but are cheap enough to replace and easy to fit. The rest of the Heli is pretty tough including those motors. I've had one for 6 years now and it's still going. Bought it for a fun machine whilst building my bigger helis and it has certainly proved to be a good little flyer. Ps, the drifting to the right is normal as that is towards the direction of the retreating blade (clockwise rotation on these) and it doesn't quite have the full flapping / damping mechanism found on normal helis Mark Edited By Mark Stevens 1 on 04/04/2019 03:12:40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Murray 1 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 Thanks for the help, the reason i went for this beginner Heli is because the replacement parts were cheap and also once i have got the rotor problem sorted i will buy a training kit and just slowly but surely get properly used to flying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
