why does my SYMA S018 3Ch RC Airwolf Mini Helicopter keep spinning out of control?
IT KEEPS SPINNING OUT I TRY TO TURN IT BUT IT SPINS LEFT!!!!!!! ALL OF THE THINGS WORK THE TAIL ROTOR WORKS AND THE MAIN TWO ROTORS WORK FINE AND THE BALANCER IS STRAIGHT. PLEASE HELP
copters fly because the top rotor spins ( a big spinning wing)
the drag on that reacts back through the power system and tries to turn the whole ship in the opposite direction
the tail rotor provides a smaller force at a longer distance to provide the counter torque
something is wrong in the tail rotor power or thrust

Most of the time it's pilot error. Those things are hard to fly. Check that your gyro is initialized per the directions before lift off. Then take it to your hobby shop and have them show you how. If all else fails, send it back to the MFG for repair. If there's any thing left to repair.
