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

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.
