Read First Before Buy 110v Charger SYMA Helicopters others
When I ordered this S107 helicopter, it cost so little that I didn't expect it would survive for more than a few days. I've been flying it for two weeks now, and it has been much more durable and reliable than I expected. I've gotten a bit daring with it and run it into walls and furniture a few times, and made a few hard landings, but it is so lightweight and durable that the only damage I've experienced are a few nicks in the plastic main rotor blades. The spinning blades haven't damaged anything in the house. Since it's holding up so well, I might order some replacement blades.
This heli is so stable that even a beginner can fly it safely right out of the box. My 16 year old nephew was flying like a pro in minutes. Push the left throttle controller forward, the rotor blades spin, and the helicopter lifts off. Slight adjustments to throttle position will make it climb or descend. Even a beginner will quickly be able to hold desired altitude. The heli has two counter-rotating main rotors, each driven by independent motors, so there is no need for a tail anti-torque rotor. When you command it to yaw (turn) left or right, it varies the rotor RPMs and smoothly rotates to the desired direction. Using an on-board gyro, when you center the yaw control, the heli holds its heading, steady-as-a-rock. If you notice any slight tendency to yaw, there is a trim knob on the controller. Unlike a real heli or more expensive model, the rotors won't tilt in any direction for forward/back/or lateral movement. There is no way to control lateral movement while hovering. A small rotor on the tail lifts or lowers the tail boom, pitching the entire heli forward or back, allowing forward/backward control. Couple this control with yaw control and you have everything you need to fly around the house and land on furniture, in a very cheap R/C toy.
You'll only get 10 minutes of flight or less out of each charge. It comes with a USB cable to recharge the helicopter battery from a personal computer or USB wall plug adapter. I use the USB wall adapter from my iphone. It takes 40-50 minutes to recharge. The wireless controller needs 6 AA batteries, is not rechargeable, and uses infrared light signals to control the heli. I've flown it outdoors at night with a calm wind. On a full charge it will easily climb to 50 feet or more with no problem. If you have much wind, it doesn't fly forward fast enough to hold its position. This is an indoor toy. I've been having so much fun with it, I've ordered 3 more as gifts for my sons and nephew.
This is the most fun you can have at this price; 10 minutes at a time.
I bought three of the chargers at the same time. Two of them work just fine and the third I will be returning because it does not charge my copters at all. I have a Gyro Star S107, a Syma S109G Apache, and a Syma S108G Cobra. The charger works fine with all three of the copters. Charge time is less and it is convenient when you are not near a computer.
BalasHapusI love this charger for my 3 Syma helis, a S107G, a S018, and the tiny S110G. By not charging off the remote, this saves many, many AA batteries. By not having to have my computer on to use a USB charge cord, it saves electricity! Also shortens the charge time by a good 10-20 minutes.

BalasHapusCompatible with SYMA and many other brands. Give you the option to charge via 110v versus connecting to your USB port. Works great!
BalasHapusCharging your SYMA chopper with the remote controller eats through batteries. So I don't recommending using that method. The helicopters do come with USB chargers, but you have to connect them to a PC or cellphone charger with a USB port. Its so much more convenient to use this A/C adapter than the other 2 standard methods.
BalasHapusIf you buy the Heli you need this to save on the number of batteries you have to purchase. Totally worth the added price
BalasHapusI use this charger with an S107. It's perhaps 10% faster than the standard remote control charger, but more importantly, the remote control batteries last longer.
BalasHapusThis charger is fantastic. When I charge with the USB it takes about 1hr. This charger cuts it down to about 20-25 minutes. This truely lets you use your helicopter more. Well worth it and a great addition to the S107
BalasHapusI purchased this charger in hopes that it would reduce the time necessary to fully charge the Li-Poly battery for my S107G. I was pleased to find out that this charger will cut your charging time by at least one-half when compared to the USB charging cable. The charger did not come with any information about the LED indicator light but other reviews state that it will dim green when charging and yellow when charged. I am not sure, so I just set my timer to 24 minutes and I get a perfect charge every time. I would not go beyond 25 minutes or you could overcharge the Li-Poly battery and it could damage it. These Li-Poly batteries can be very sensitive to overcharges.
