Micro gear apache heli review and obstacle course flight
Micro gear needs to take this helicopter off the market
Don’t buy one of these. I found this coaxial apache 4 channel helicopter made by micro gear for sale at the local frys electronics for 89.99. I am very disappointed with its flight performance and its transmitter. It came with a mode one transmitter that looked like it was left over from the cold war. In the USA we use mode 2. Also the crystal wasn’t interchangeable with my other transmitters, it was to short. If you buy one be prepared to get your own transmitter, preferably one with servo reverse switches on it, because you will need to reverse one of the servos if you switch to mode 2.
Also the sliding swash plate is not precise nor is it well tuned out of the box. You may need to move the swash plate to different screws; you may also need to move the servo horn over one notch on the front servo.
This helicopter is a wreck waiting to happen, so if you buy one get extra blades and don’t expect much out of it. It may look cool but it certainly doesn’t fly very well.
Also the tech support from micro gear has not responded to any of my E-mails,
And most retail stores don’t offer exchanges or refunds on R.C vehicles so do your research and buy something with a normal swash plate. If you have time send micro gear an E-mail at support@theparknshop.com telling them to take this helicopter off the market. That’s the only contact info I have for them.

You can move the …
You can move the swash plate to different locations by unscrewing the 2 screws attached to it and the servos, each swash plate arm has 4 or 5 different places to screw it to the servos, I had a little luck trying to move them, it centered the swash plate a little bit, but it never flew very well.
And it killed it’s battery after a few flights, it just wasn’t a very good heli.

i think its like luck if you find a good heli and if you dont its like they have a mind of there own and if the heli says ”im not going to fly too risky ” and if the heli is a daredevil it will say ”come one bust me” but it would be like a Kamikaze and it would destroy itself in the ground so its just luck finding a totally not on drugs heli
