Radio Controlled Helicopter part 3

Well the Micro Mosquito is turning out to be a much tougher radio controlled helicopter than I originally thought it was.

I just flew it into the ceiling and then had it crash into a wooden bedpost on the way to the floor. I would call that a major crash, and the worst one I have had so far.

When I set it back up it flew without any trouble, so it can take some punishment and so far the only thing that has happened is that 3 times the rear rotor has come off, but it just slips back on, and they have been major crashes that caused the rotor to come off.

I also got a power converter, it says you are suppose to use a 7.5 volt, but if you have 6 1.5 volt batteries then that should be 9 volts.

I found a 7.5 volt charger, but I don’t know if the tip is positive or negative and I can’t find a battery meter to check it.

So the 9 volt power converter is marked with the correct positive site, so I decided to just use it.

I need to buy another batter meter so I can check the other power converter I have so I can see how it works.

The flashing green light stays dimly lit all the time and flashes when the power converter is plugged in. (not sure if that is normal or not).

Flying a radio controlled helicopter is still very stressful, but I am getting a little more used to the controls.
