Motion Control Wheels Helicopter (read description please)

4,076 DustyT33  5.2 years ago

This Helicopter maneuvers without gyroscopes, or by tilting it's rotors, but by using fast spinning wheels.

At first, the torque of each control wheels balance each other out, but by changing the angle of the wheels you can turn or tilt the helicopter in the direction you want.

If you want to fly forward without constantly adjusting the pitch, drag the VTOL slider all the way down, and use trim to balance the helicopter (in this flight mode, it's best to use roll to turn, because it handles more like an airplane).

Best to fly it at 45 to 50% power.

ALWAYS ACTIVATE 2 BEFORE FLIGHT (TO ACTIVATE THE CONTROL WHEELS).
