Syma S107G 3 Channel RC Helicopter with Gyro, White and silver

So one day while my family and I are at the park my daughter notices a RC airplane flying in the air. She is immediately enamored with it and decides that day she that is what she wants for her birthday. Unfortunately for her, there's no way dad is spending a $100+ on an RC airplane for a birthday present. So, I decide to go to Amazon to find something a little closer to a 6 year old's price range for a birthday present.This helicopter was the perfect choice! For what this is and how much it costs I am more than thrilled with the results we've had with it. We purchased it for $17 and have already gotten our money's worth out of it in the month we've had it. The kids love it, it's easy to use and control and it's a great, cheap way to teach them how to use and control RC toys.As long as you remember you're buying a cheap little toy RC helicopter you will not be disappointed. The battery lasts about 10 minutes, takes about an hour to charge. Do not plug it into anything that puts out over 600ma and wait a half hour before charging to let the battery cool down. This is what we have done and the battery lasts just as long as new 100 charges later. We have crashed it into a LOT of different things and so far the only thing that has broken is the rear wing right in front of the rear rotor. A pretty durable little toy for how cheap it is.You really can't go wrong for the price, durability and entertainment it provides!

I have always wanted a tiny little helicopter to pilot around the house, and folks.......this is it. As long as you fly inside, with decent room, and no air movement this thing flys like a dream. The secret, and yes there is one, is too start out and hover first. This allows you to level her at whatever altitude you would like to fly. At this point you also need to rotate the knob on the remote to stop her from rotating to the left or right. Then your ready to go. These 2 steps are a must.....the hovering every time, and the rotation adjust when it needs it. Ok, here is the kicker...the hover manuver is kinda tricky because of the sensitivity of the remote....sometimes you need to give it enough throttle to lift off, and then almost immediately drop it a tiny bit to avoid slamming into the ceiling. I say slamming, but it just keeps going up, and up and smack. It is very durable, and built really well, but your trying to fly the darn thing, not test its ability to survive. Just remember, try to hover.....I read a review that said it just seemed to fly up and hit the wall, or ceiling every time it was flown....until they tried to just slowly power up, and learn how to maintain a hover. Once perfected, move on from the hover to maneuver. I tried this, and have always had good luck with it flying well. Oh, cool thing..you don't have to charge it from the remote, it comes with a cool little USB charger you can hook up to your pc, or console (or whatever has a usb) that lights up red inside when its done charging. To be clear, the USB side glows red were it plugs in, not the whole wire.

For the cost, such a great value and so much fun to play with. They’re surprising durable and fairly easy to fly. NOT really for outdoor use if there is any moving air at all.If you do manage to auger it into a crater … or land it way up in some tree … at the price you can afford to replace it (and probably will want to)

The product was defective straight out of the box. The controller was completely broken - both the throttle lever and the on/off switch were broken. Then, when I tried to get in touch with the shipper, I couldn't get through. First I had to do some creative Google searching to find a phone number for them, as none is listed on Amazon. Then, once I got through, I got a voice message that no one was available and I should call back during their business hours. Their business hours are 9am - 5:30pm Pacific Time. I called at 7:45pm Eastern time (4:45pm Pacific Time). If you choose to get a Syma helicopter (I've owned one before and they're a wonderful product for the price) go through a different shipping company. The few extra dollars you'll pay will be worth the headache of having to deal with Battery Superstore and their defective products and shoddy customer service.
