Need charging instructions for Air Hogs Havoc heli. Is remote control switch to be turned on during charging? What position is channel switch in? Is Heli on/off switch set to charge? I have no instructions! Bought in thrift shop for $3. When I turn on remote, red light goes on but green charge light flashes one time for a micro second .Should'nt green light stay on during charging? Batteries in remote(s) are new but I have not checked helocopters. Worst comes to worst, I paid $3 for 12 new batteries. Any ideas to check out helicopter operation/charging? Jeff

check over the helicopter first then hand controller
heli
could be the receiver chip or pick up on the helicopter
motor issue ?
didnt think it was direct drive .might be
have to chase a broken wire connection or other
if cogs or belts are used ..stripped or jammed or other
receiver
toast

You cannot easily change the frequency these helicopters operate on, they are not designed for multi channel use. To change their operating frequency you would need to find and replace the small crystal inside the helicopter and also inside the remote control.
The 3 channel you are referring to is the number of functions (channels) you can control on the helicopter, not it's frequency channel.

try checking how old the battery is

Have you tried the AirHogs web site for help.. http://www.airhogs.com/home.html#/need_help

Had the exact same problem. Found the solution on an Amazon posting:

1. To enable this function make sure both remotes and both helicopters are off.

2. Set the first remote's channel switch to the leftmost position (it says A, B, and C, but the s107 only supports 2 channels). Turn the remote on.?

3. Turn the helicopter that you would like to bind to the remote on and set the helicopter down on a flat stable surface for about 5 seconds. Try the throttle and the helicopter should respond to this remote.?

4. Next, to enable the second helicopter, set the second remote's channel switch to the rightmost position (it says A, B, and C, but the S107 only supports 2 channels). Turn the remote on.?

5. Turn the second helicopter on and set the helicopter down on a flat stable surface for about 5 seconds. Try the throttle and the second helicopter should respond to this remote.?


This worked for us.

maybe flying in another area will change perfomance because these helis pick up the control commands from a freqency that travels through the air just like transistor radios and your heli might be receiveing a signal from another piece of like freqency equipment ie.cordless telephone,cb,or maybe cordless remote also new batteries are likely to be needed

make sure both heli and controller are off and batteries are new and then plug wire into heli and then turn controller on it doesnt matter abc, abc is just the frequency to controll heli just match with the letter under the heli

It's a typo in the instructions. The helicopter must be turned off to be chaged

As far as the green light on the charger not coming on: after I tested the batteries in the remote, I found that it was due to 2 of the 6 batteries in the remote control being dead (0.1volts) The charger probably sucks the power out of the #1 and #6 battery.

Make sure all batteries in the Remote have the same charge.

Also, there seems to be a loose contact in the charger plug prongs. You will have to find a way to sit the helicopter so that it stays in contact with the prongs while charging. Mine has to be on it's side to keep the green charger light on.

Good luck!
