My john lewis mini helicopter auto stability control not flying

hi Janet.
all i can find out is,ebay sells all john lewis needles.so if you go there and put in your make and model number it might find the size you are trying to find out.
or again go on the the google page and put What size needle does a John Lewis mini sewing machine need. but make sure you put your model numbers or any other numbers you can find.on there as well.

I just unboxed a skyrover helicopter and charged it for 2 hrs the light went off I put brand new batteries into the controler switched on the helicopter it started blinking
switched on thcontroler it blinked them turned red and it does nothing. Any thoughts?

batterys turn off when not flying
should charge when plugged into toy
green light is fully charged /on

try this,switch the helicopter on,then make sure the left controller stick is fully down then turn the controller on,move left stick fully on then fully off should be ready to fly,have fun

Mine's exactly the same as yours. Although the transmitter shows A B C the switch has only two positions, so there's a choice of two only. I doubt it's possible to fly 3 at the same time.

My wife bought one of thsoe for me for my birthday. I charged it for an hour - turn off the helicopter power switch and plug in the charge plug on the control - the control must be on. anyway the thing doesn't have enough lift to get off the ground. It just skitters along the ground. Also the tail rotor doesn;t do anything. The parts list identifies a tail motor so it should do something. Going to return it to the mall. That's a hassle! I would try to fix the tail motor, but if the thing can'e even get off the ground what's the point? Any info send it to rsockey at yahoo dot com.

I found your question while searching the web for parts for my son's new, broken Air Hawk II. I also found that there are a few different mini helis marketed as "Air Hawk", so I'm not sure that my answer will apply to your machine. Mine came in a box as shown here: http://www.toygalaxy.net/2chmirche.html

OUR problem, which might be your problem too, is that the cylindrical metal weights flew off the ends of the stabilizer bar at the top of the heli. First, one came off, which threw the heli out of balance, which caused a violent shaking that probably helped the other weight to fly off. Without the weights, the stabilizer can't do its job, and the heli sways. Our temporary fix was to cut two strips of duct tape, 3/4" x 1.5" each, and wrap one strip around the outer 3/4" of each end of the stabilizer bar. This made our heli fly almost as well as it did when brand new.

The heli pictured here is almost identical to ours, and has the same weights on the stabilizer bar - these photos show what our SB looked like before the weights flew off... http://www.dhgate.com/2ch-rc-helicopter-air-wolf-co-axle-rtf-palm/k-ff808081278edf340127988dde3b153d-0.html#todescription

Hope this helps... happy flying (we can wish, right?)

If its a Reflex twin rotor Heli use the trim wheel on top to counteract the spin and at least stabilize the craft at hover. Then use the right/left froward backward fans to control flight, (right joystick on the controller). These fans are not very powerful so don't expect alot from them other than turning the craft right left and reverse. Seems there is too much down draft from the rotors to effectively move the Heli forward. Not a real good design. The Sharpshooter is easier to fly but uses the batteries in the controller as a charger so they don't last real long.

Yes, I had exactly the same problem, the lower blades can actually move a little on the shaft, if the helicopter takes a big knock then they move up so much that the shaft drops so that the gears no longer engage.

To fix it just squeeze the lower blades towards the gear, I did this by putting a finger on each side of the lower blade next to the shaft and my thumbs against the lower gear so you are squeezing along the shaft. The lower blade will then move down, however if it moves too much it will jam against the main body of the helicopter so you will need to pull it back appart a little so the bottom blades move freely.

Take it back and get a new one!
