Airhog?

I think I need to send my S107 back
It doesn't fly more than 6" above ground. It's kinda fun, but still! It's done that since I got it a week or so ago.

Might need a new battery. There are several reports that the battery is very fragile on these. The batteries are pretty cheap.

We have only flown one so far but I was able to hover at any altitude I wanted with it.

I called Airhogs about mine and they are sending a new one out. They do not even want the old one back, I just had to cut the rotors and email them a picture. If I had the receipt I could have took it back to Toys R Us. I thought about wal mart but the rotors were already scuffed up.

Take it back to Walmart and get the s107. One of my sons got an Airhog and it would not charge from his Tx. Took it back to Walmart and the cashier said "Let me guess it doesn't fly. We have gotten tons back that won't fly." We just returned it and bought the s107s.

After reading this post, I talked my 8yo son into using his Christmas money to buy the S107 and it's awesome. But I think I play with it more than he does.

After the battery has discharged a bit it will do that. I get about 3 min of vertical flight, then about 7 minutes of 6" off the ground. Are you letting it charge all the way before giving it a try?

That's funny, I get about five minutes of flight, and a little over one minute of six inch flight time.

If you get to the point where it will not lift above 6" you should stop flying. You are discharging the battery too far and causing damage. Both my sons helis will fly anywhere from 6" to 16' for a full 6-7 minutes. As soon as they seem a little under powered they stop and re-charge.

Huh? We have had our two for about four months now, I drain em till the rotors don't work. Also snipped the wires to the damn annoying LED light that was on it taking my power away from the flight time. Figured they would create a "memory" if I didn't drain them all the way. Hasn't changed the flight time of either of mine yet though.

They have the 18" version on ebay right now for $55 shipping included. I know one of the listings is 220723408172.

Lipo batteries are not very susceptible to memory like nicd and nimh batteries. Over discharging is one of the worst things you can do. Incorrect charging is really bad. You are lucky they are still working properly.

I have heard that their bigger helis are not as good.

Are Lipo and Lithium ion the same?
