Avatar Z008 4 Channel $40 RC Helicopter Review

This is the avatar z008 4 channel rc helicopter, I picked it up from ebay for a little under $40.00
you can also buy it from

Flight time 5 or 6 minutes, charge time 20 minutes from USB charger or 45 minutes from the transmitter. Very stable and fast, looks great, mostly metal frame.
It has fans on either side that control left right roll, a fan on the rear that controls forward reverse motion, and coaxial rotors that keep it stable and control yaw, it's a lot of fun, and it's very precise, but it is mode 4, meaning throttle and roll are on the left stick and spin and forward reverse are on the right stick, if you've been flying mode 2 for a long time it'll take a little getting used to, but if you've only flown 3 channel helicopters it wont be any different then the controls your used to.

what is accel button for on the side??????

[taoistflyer]

@terpfan67 On some versions it is for trim and on others it's for a quick burst of forward flight, on other versions it doesn't do anything

I just received mine. I charged it with the usb into my pc. After only a few minutes the usb indicator already turned off. I tried to swittch on the heli but nothing. No flashing lights, nothing. So either it wasn't charged yet or it is broken I guess... Just my luck... I just plugged it back into the pc and then again after a minute or so the USB light turns off, indicating it it done charging and again nothing happens when i switch the helicopter on. Any suggestions anyone?

@knarghel Usually even without charging the helicopter the lights will turn on when you turn on the helicopter, these batteries should never be allowed to run all the way down, if they do run all the way down it damages them. If their is no power going through it then their may be a problem with the battery the battery may be dead or have a bad connection, Did you try charging with the transmitter.

And if you're suffering from technology fatigue you can lie down at 07:18 and read Tao Te Ching.

Hate to break it to you but that is not mode 1, that is mode 4, mode 1 has throttle on the right stick not the left. And plus US people do fly mode 1, its not unique to the places you mentioned.
