My mini rc helicopter lands in a few seconds of flying time. So I decided to replace the battery(because I thought it is a battery problem). After replacing the battery, problem is not solved. Helicop
Some of those mini helicopters are just designed bad. Their motor is to weak, the whole setup battery-speed controller-motor-blades is slapped together "hoping it will work". The quality is ridiculous. One heli or one from a certain batch would fly descent, others woudl barely lift of and drop down after a few seconds. The best solution is to return it to the store and by something for more money. But if you want to experiment:
1) Try reducing weight: remove anything that is not necessary off of it. Also, try smaller/lighter battery with same voltage and current rating (smaller capacity=lighter)
2) Try slightly higher voltage. I.e., if it uses NiCD/NIMH batteries, add additional cell. With LiPo's it's a bit complicated, if heli is running of one cell (3.7V) adding another cell will burn it. If it is 2 cells, trying 3 cells might work or might overheat the motor.
3) Try replacing the motor with slightly stronger one. Now you will need to search online, ebay, hobby stores for similar size that you can fit in. Not the easiest thing to do.
4) Again, get rid o fit. it's not worth your time, unless you like to experiment. It will never fly the way you would like it to.
