wings that get mE high

There was a time when my first helicopter stopped working , everythingy was fine but the battery was finished , so i decided instead getting the new battery i would go and buy a new one. Cause this one had a bit of a unsteady flight and i had seen another model which had two sets of wings and much much stable flight ad a better controller. Thus i shelved the old yellow bug and went in to buy the new one .


Sadly, on the very first flight of the new one, it went out of the reach of the controller and crashed some 3 houses down the lane, at night , i believe it was 11pm. Should have waited for day to coem to try the new one but i was kinda too eager to try it. So by the time i arrived to that house i could hear the helicopter making noise, i had cut the power off from my side so it should not have been on but i could hear its motor screaming. anyway managed to get it back but the internal wiring had come out from some places and some soldering was undone. As i was leaving early morning i put it away for then.

Coming home this weekend , i decided yesterday to try and fix the thingy. The soldering Gun was out of commission and thus i took it to a guy who would solder the wires for me. During the soldering we found out tht the internal chipboard had burned . Anyway i brought it back home put in the battery and tried it. On the tail chopper was working , the two main choppers on the top didnt move at all, That was a sad event. But i decided to kinda to mix and match. Took out the other one and swapped the boards and the controllers.




Now i have managed to make the two wings dude work on the board of the single wing one. When i tried taking it out for a test flight it didnt leave the ground just rotated the wings. Perhaps the battery was low.

So now the battery is being charged. Once that done lets see if this thingy works or not.

Update : Sadly it didnt work, seems another one needs to be bought now. My parents are soo not gonna like it
