The is a tiny tiny coaxial aluminium frame helicopter with a gyro and infrared controller. A small vertically mounted tail rotor is used to provide fast forward and backward elevation.
Specifications
- Motor: 2 solid motors for coaxial, 1 tail motor for elevation
- Remote: Infrared, 3 band switch, 3 channels, integrated charger, 6x AA batteries
- Controls: Elevator (for/aft), yaw (rotate), throttle (lift), and elevation speed (hi/low .5CH)
- Battery: 60 mAh 3.7V (1-Cell) Lithium-Polymer
- Charging connection on left-side
- Charging: 20 minutes
- To dis-engage charging mode, move throttle stick up and down
- Runtime: approx. 4-5 minutes
- Soft cut-off on low battery
- Weight: 16.3 grams
- Dimensions: 113x22x60mm (LxWxH)
- Main rotor diameter: 110mm

- Sanhuan Copter 6020/6020-1/6023-1/6025-1 operation manual
Setup
- For the first 5 flights, only run the battery down to 50%, 1.5 minute flighttime, it will help lengthen the life of the LiPo
- If it swings or wobbles when in hover, try to fasten one or both blades (upper/lower)
- Let the motors cool off after a flight, 5-10 minutes
- Check the tail rotor for plastic residue left from the manufacturing
- To enter forward flight mode, remove the tail fin, boom support, and skids, I think this is how it should fly by default! Weight: 15.1 grams
- Optionally, bend the skid support screw-tabs down to raise the body above the on/off-switch sticking out. Note that the tabs will now catch most of the force on a crash and will eventually break off.
- When on crash course, immediately push/kill the throttle to low to avoid unnecessary motor and blade wear
- Avoid adding grease, tri-flow oil, or silicone oil, it seems to have an adverse effect on the flight characteristics
- Its metal frame and general good design allows for an amazing amount of improper handling and crashing without much or any damage at all, 1.5m free-fall no problem
- If the copter unexpectedly loses power and the controller LEDs begin to blink when throttle stick is at full, recharge the controller batteries
- Also, power loss can happen if the infra-red signals cannot be reflected/bounce of walls, i.e. in large rooms or outside
Possible tweaks
- Mount small E-flite battery between the skids
- Replace battery with higher capacity E-flite battery [1]
- Removable battery with connector
- Improve cooling of the motors
- Metal fins, funnel, thermal grease
- Remove spring on throttle stick
- Replace metal screws with nylon
- Use higher quality LiPo batteries
- Connect batteries in parallel for double capacity
- Balance weight and flight performance
- Disable LED lights
- Swap controller trim-pot polarization
- Program a better controller
- Different size flybar weights
- Swap the left and right control stick [10]
- For Throttle and Yaw on left and Elevation on right
