How to Adjust an RC Helicopter

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Thursday, April/18/2024

1). Land the helicopter and set it on an even surface. Attach a small piece of tape to the right blade and a different-colored piece of tape to the left to tell them apart.
2). Ask someone else to start the helicopter and let it hover just a few inches off the ground.
3). Look over the top of the hovering helicopter. As each blade spins, the tape should move in a circular path. If the colors of tape blend perfectly together in a blur (red and blue tape will produce a green blur) and there is only a single circle formed by them your blades are in alignment. However, if you see a solid color separate from the blurred band, take note of the color you see. This means that the blades are out of track and must be adjusted.
4). Tell your partner to land the plane and wait for the blades to completely stop spinning.
5). Raise or lower the offending blade with the same color band that you noticed by following the directions in your user's manual. Continue this procedure until only a single colored band is visible when the blades spin.
