Syma S107G 3.5-Channel RC Helicopter with Gyro (Blue)

Extremely dissapointing battery life, from a full USB charge you get 15 minutes and thats your lot. My brother has a SYMA 106 (all plastic), its smaller & lighter & battery life is much much better. My personal opinion is that this metal verson is too big and too heavy for the battery that is fitted. Dont buy this, buy the earlier model. In the meantime I will investigate if a return and replacement for an earlier version is possible.

It’s very nice but unfortunately the battery so bad it work for less then 5 mins not more and I have to charge it again so useless to keep when i should charge it every 5 mins

Perfecto! Muy resistente y divertido. Tengo 2!!!

Se lo regalé a mi papá y lo ha disfrutado mucho. No se rompe con facilidad y el tamaño es ideal para un adulto que comience con este pasatiempo.

I have owned a couple of these made from different manufacturers a while back and although fun, did not hold up and perform as well as these from Syma do! Right out of the box this chopper took to the air with its leftover factory charge and with just a tad of trim I had it at a perfect hover. Steering was super easy so flying forward or backwards was a simple and stable action. No they are not fast but they were not built to be fast. Its a fun indoor flyer and super durable. My 7yr daughter has already learned to do a perfect hover and is now flying around and landing on different things without me coaching her. With that being said the landing competitions have ensued and her and I have crashed plenty of times......not a single broken component yet! Be sure to shut the throttle off when you see your about to impact something and all should survive. If something does break, they offer complete parts packages for replacements which make this an even more reasonable choice for indoor flyers. Out of the 3 previous mini choppers I have owned in the past, these are by far the best. Solid build, stable flight performance, crash survivability and price motivates me to give 5 stars. I have also read a few threads about people modifying them to achieve different flight characteristics so I will research that some more and see what I may be able to do. Mods are always fun but I like it as is for now, simple, effective and durable= fun! You will need six AA batteries for the controller but that is so you can recharge off the controller itself with its built in cord or use the optional USB charger cord it comes with and save those batteries. Reminder that it is a IR controlled model which means it needs line of sight with the controller to fly so flying outside in the sun wont work out to well for you. You may also want to turn off your ceiling fans because it will get blown around quite easy. Other than that this is a great toy and will not disappoint!

This is an awesome toy and a fair price. Battery life is short - flight time is 8-10 minutes between charges. Flight controls have a shallow learning curve. Copter is pretty agile and very well built. I have since bought another, to fly together with my son. Highly recommend.
