better known as a crystal

this is what detirmines what freq you are on and has nothing to do with distance.

just make sure any freinds have a diff freq .2 transmitters with the same freq are basicly the same.you can change freq by swapping
crystals(around$10)

think of it as if it is what radio station you,or your coptor,is dailed in to.there is also a matching crystal on your reciever.

In the US... it is illegal for the end user to swap the crystal in the transmitter.
This is NOT an AMA rule... it is FCC rgulation with the power of federal law. (You can be charged with a felony. Not a good idea.)

The reasoning behind the law is that there are industrial radio control systems and other things which operate between the specified RC hobbiest frequencies. There was a case of a person causing interference with a remotely operated concrete pumping project... which resulted in several thousand dollars damage... they WERE ABLE TO FIND the person who interfered with the industial frequency and prove that he had swapped crystals illegally. (it was not a good day for that guy... or the guys operating the concrete pumping system.)

The person with a tailrotor that won't spin up to speed... even with a new mixer board:

Maybe its the tailrotor motor not the mixer board. The tailrotor motors are inexpensive. (there is a thread showing where to get a "Johnson" motor to replace them at 50 cents a motor. (buy a few.... they become expendable.) From what I have been reading... the board is reliable if you don't pass excess crrent through it. (maybe these need a fuse in line with the battery in case the thing lands on its side and the motor is not shut down.)

sorry about that,i was a little unclear about that.

why would you need to pump concrete by radio??

you would really be in trouble if there was a radio controled slauder house near and it caused the workers to be sluadered instead

Yea,
My aerohawk also pulling to the sides when taking off, this eliminates the possibility to take him higher than 5 cm off the ground.

what is better, to change the servos or change the gyro ?

In the US it is NOT illegal for the end user of RC transmitters and receivers to change crystal frequencies. The FCC has reserved the frequencies that RC land and air vehicles can use. If you were to hacc a crystal from some other source other than one specified for RC use then yes it would be illegal to use and could interfere with other frequencies used by construction and other buisinesses using radio control. But going to a hobby store and buying a x-tal set for a futaba or any other radio set will not be illegal. If it was you wouldnt be able to buy x-tal sets....you wouldnt be able to have races or fly together with other people.

Which direction is your heli pulling? It will have a natural tendency to pull to the left on take off due to the tail counteracting the spin of the main blades....if it is just pulling to the left during take off then just give a little right cyclic control until you get off the ground.

Oh Man,
it was fine before,

its actually going to the right.

its 2 crazy.

it all started when I replaced my motor.

some said its because its wired not correctly but it didnt helped.

and now the motor is burned :\

so I hope the problem was in the motor and hope everything will back to normal with new engine.

that is complete BS! I not only have worked in law enforcement, but was also a tower installer/tech for Nextel, and was the service manager for a 2 way communications business. the end user can swap crystals if he wishes, so long as it's within the assigned band for the model he is operating.

FCC regs listed in the "Code of Federal Regulations", do not have the same force of law that is found in the "United States Codes" , unless the CFR reg has a corresponding USC section. it is highly unlikely ( I've never seen or heard of it, in all my experience, in other words ) that anyone would be charged with a felony for swapping a crystal to a different frequency...even if it was not within the assigned RC hobby band. anyone found to have done so would be warned not to do it again first, if at all because this is pretty low priority on anybody's list, and if it continued, a misdemeanor fine would be assessed at most. in order to be charged with a felony, you would have to had done so knowingly and intentionally with the INTENT of causing death, serious bodily injury, property damage, public alarm, or to cause harm or inturruption to operations or services of another.

please do not attempt quoting or interpreting federal law unless you know what your talking about.
