I created a test pad to capture the loss of control on my helicopter and hoping you do not have the same fate. So sad I have to shelve this helicopter. Glad others have had success 🙏🏽.
The lab shows the helicopter initially responding to pulling back on the cyclic but then all breaks loose and watch as the helicopter pitches forward without input and shuts itself down. 😢 I will contact Banggood wishing they make good.
Backstory…
Maiden Flight: Doubted the thought of a fly away since this is my very first helicopter and from getting input from others reviewing video for possible wind gusts causing forward flight. Since then, practicing on RealFlight Evolution.

2nd Flight: All was good until helicopter leaned and flew forward without cyclic input. I pulled back on the cyclic and helicopter did not respond to stop the forward flight. Since I was flying close to the ground, I purposely decreased collective pitch and brought the helicopter to the ground.
3rd Flight: Helicopter kept flying forward from the get go. Initial pulling back on cyclic in pulses made helicopter tail dip down but tail would rise and helicopter continued forward movement. Without my input, helicopter took off higher and at a faster pace forward and did not respond to decreased collective pitch and did not respond to pulling all the way back on the cyclic. Due to the uncontrollable fly away and for the safety of others, I flipped the throttle cut switch and dropped the helicopter to the ground.
