Found this Air Hogs Fly Crane toy helicopter in a charity shop. As usual it had not transmitter and the LiPo battery does not hold charge. I searched the internet for replacement batteries and ordered the nearest I could find in dimensions and power. Changing the battery made no difference it still won't fly. The next guess would be a problem with the motors. That would involve swapping the motors out to check and I am not sure I want to spend time doing that. The transmitter I am using is not the original for this helicopter so there could also be the possibility that a different transmitter may make a difference. I don't have a different transmitter so I have no way of checking.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
