    Hi everyone,
    Three years ago I bought a big 70 cm electric 3,5 channels rc helicopter, two big engines for the main blades and a smaller one for the tail, after all it's a good quality heli. It even smashed a garden plastic chair while the blades were spinning, ready to takeoff.
    I also accidentally used it under light rain once, but I sort it out quite a lot time ago... the last time I used it, hasn't been able to fly higher than 2 cm and for not longer than five minutes. That was three years ago (!)
    So, if I replace the battery pack, is that giant going to fly again?
    Thank you

    This question would be better on a rc helicopter forum, but my guess is that replacing the battery pack would help. rechargeable batteries dont like being dead for a long time

    Hard to say without any info on the helis model and what battery it has, does certainly sound like an electrical issue though.

    So If the issue isn't the heli itself, then I just wanted to know which battery I should put in here, because I have thrown away the battery pack one year ago, before moving to England (Well, now I'm back!)

    May i know some more details about your RC helicopter?
    What are the specifications of all of its electronics components?
    Also what MCU it contains and what are specifications for its battery?
    Also what are the specifications of the motors?

    prototype pcb assembly services
