If this was the original charger for the air hog copter and it just started to fail in recharging , there must be a faulty part inside the charger that is causing the problem, staying red light during charging period and never turns to green or other color to show that it was charged is one problem but when it also shuts off after 30 seconds without charging definitely shows a faulty part or parts inside the charger. To check this out you can try another good charger which you can borrow from a friend to see if it would charge your copter or you can take it to the store where you bought the copter , they may be able to confirm the fault on your charger, if it can be fixed or needs a replacement.
Just bought the air hogs helicopter with the crane. Had the aircraft constantly spinning clockwise, no matter how much I turned the trim control counter clockwise the aircraft still rotated. I then turned the trim control in the opposite direction until I noticed the aircraft had stopped spinning, and used the rudder control to fine tune forward flight.
So, get the aircraft to hover and turn the trim button in the opposite direction until you see that the aircraft spinning slows right down. If you continue to turn the trim control in the same direction the aircraft will increase its spin, so just dial back the trim.
There is a trim button on the remote or the air hog which helps to straighten out the flight if it is constantly veering off to the left or right(same direction every time).I had one though and was so disappointed that I returned it the next day.Greg
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.
The steering control only makes the copter rotate.
But if the heli is properly balanced a right turn should get you some forward motion. A left turn should just make it spin back to the left.
Adding weight to the front of the copter will give it continuous forward motion. Then you will lose the ability to hover.
If you visit the Air Hogs website (www.airhogs.com), select "need help" and then Havoc Heli, then crash course, the video will show you how it works.
I also find that climbing makes the heli spin left and descending makes it spin right. So full right for initial startup, then a little right when climbing, and a little left when descending helps to smooth things out.
Keep in mind that this is a very small and cheap helicopter. It took me a while to get used to flying in circles to the right but with practice I have been able to get it to go somewhat where I want it to. I can take off and land from the coffee table without crashing.
