how do you switch channels on the copter? The channels are well marked on the control, but i can't find the channel option on the helicopter?

you must select the channel on the controller before you turn the helicopter on; then when you turn the helicopter on, it will automatically go to the channel selected on the controller.

It is a remote control. I wouldn't suggest this as a first helicopter for a child; 12 year old to learn on, as it is a 4 channel helicopter. Now if he/she has had plenty of practice and is proficient with a 3 channel helicopter, this is definitely the next step up from there. It is an awesome 4 channel flying helicopter, but I personally feel it is a graduated step up from the basics of a 3 channel helicopter. I recommend the Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter Helicopters for starters. They are some excellent 3 channel; up/down, left/right, forward/backward flying helicopters for anyone that is just learning to fly and you can usually buy them for around $20. I hope this helps.

A 2 channel helicopter will only move up down and spin left and right. A 3 channel helicopter will move up down spin left and right and the 3rd channel moves the helicopter forward and bakward.

Not certain, but I doubt it. The V911 is only a 4 channel. Go ahead and get a V or H911 with the proper transmitter (about $50) and when you wear out or lose the copter, you'll still have the transmitter for the replacements you're going to want... and trust me you'll want more. These little birds are addictive!

The on/off switch on the bottom of the helicopter is so small that it's a bit tricky. Make sure that you're moving it fully into the on position. I thought something was wrong with mine when I got it, but it was because I didn't do the switch right.

turn both remote and heli off and the select the channel you want to use a b or c which are different flying modes, beginner,normal and more advanced settings. first turn the remote on then the heli. after you do that set the throttle level all the way up and back down once and the indicator light will blink tell you they are synced.. Hope this helped!

The person who answered before me is right,i didn't see anything straight on the helicopter itself but on the contoler you can change it. I had the same problem too my brother and i wanted to be on different frequensies so one controller doesn't control both helicopters. I looked it up and first you set the controller to the desired frequiense(a or b) then you turn on your helecopter and there your helecopter is on the desired frequensie. (Sorry not a very good speller)

Yes you can either different frequencies or 2 on 1 remote this is not a beginner helicopter and not easy to fly 107g syma is great starting one

Get a spectrum 6 channel. Yes you can buy it on Amazon. You can program other airplanes in the future.

I didn't see anything to switch frequency on helicopter, but remote can control the helicopter on both frequencies "A" and "B", so I just assume that even remote shows two frequencies, but for this model, both frequencies are same. Don't have the manual anymore, can't confirm it but it is how it works for me.

Send it back and get a V912 sky dancer it's a four channel RC the most fun and challenging RC helicopter for the money you will love it. I have a 9118 but got board with it very fast. Once you master a 4 channel V912 sky dancer you will absolutely love it and you will have to hold it back it has big time speed and priced very affordably.

I recommend yo to read all the other questions for this same article. I haven't bought it yet, but seems by those answers it is only the helicopter, no batteries, no control, no charger. Another answer says this article is intended just for copter replacement.

They have channels a and b... I wouldn't go with this one though, my son got one for Christmas and it never flew. Returned and got nothing back for it, no money back no replacement and it was clearly a fault with the radio talking to the helicopter.

Yes, each helicopter comes with a 2 channel controller that uses a radio signal to control speed and direction.

Yes there is a way to switch to normal 4 channel operation (Mode 2) To switch controls on the JXD 340 you do the following: 1) Power ON the heli 2) Press & hold both triggers (Light button and speed button) together & turn the receiver ON 3) Give it full throttle to set signal, and then full decel 3) Enjoy the Mode 2 controls 4) You will have to do this everytime you turn on the heli. Once you power off it reverts back to Mode 4 I fly mine in mode 2 all the time.

Yes you can, only have to turn on one by one so the respective transmitter binds w the respective helicopter

Turn both copter and control off. Change channel then turn copter on and wait for flashing light on copter to stop flashing and stays on.
