The mod is a small rod of carbon-fibre with a metal screw taped to it on the end. Also, I removed the ballast -two metal dishes- in the Alany (they are located between the motors and leds).

By pulling out the rod, the forward speed will increase. By sliding it in, forward speed will decrease. Also, bigger screws will give more forward velocity, up to the point where the Alany can't handle it anymore (the two rotors will run into each other).

It looks more like a mosquito now :p

  • I got the replacement blades for my Alany today. I ordered the ITC ones off ebay and it flies better than it ever did. While I was waiting I repaired my original blades and balanced them and added weight to the bottom rotor to increase it's inertia. This reduced gyroscopic progression. The new blades interestingly have extra weights on the bottom rotor compared to the top, so I was on the right track. So, good upgrade over all. I can now fly around the room and land where I want.

  • Good to hear. Strange that your Alany didn't have extra weights on the bottom rotor. Maybe that's why yours was so difficult to handle.

  • for more forward/back speed I have to wonder if extending the tail boom could be a better option. The longer the tail boom the more pronounced the effect of the tail rotor will be. The only thing that may be necessary is the addition of a small amount of weight up front to counterbalance the extension.

    Not as simple as just adding weight to the nose of course.

  • That way you're making the heli heavier and thus more inert. I don't think it'll work.

    A bigger tail propeller works nice though.

  • Why the fuck in hell people call it micro mosquito? i think it was an GIANT mosquito!

  • Is that a big tv? I love it! But i only watch 20 min tv a day...!!!

  • guys i got a new small one of these called micro mosquito from the sourse but it just spins in circles and the "trim" knob doesnt help at all. also when i press Left it spins left, it doesnt go left ffs and when i try to go right it just spins right =/ PLEZZ HELPS ME!

  • if you want to add weight to this heli, slip a paper clip onto the two front legs, it work great.

  • Anyone find any mods to increase flight time besides shedding some weight on the thing? Maybe a different battery pack that weighs the same but holds a bigger charge?

  • cool shelf!

  • Pretty Cool :@)

  • oh sory kinda was in a rush that day and im in one now.... brothers lol
