Great fun, excellent control, best bang for your buck

Best Review on Syma Channel Remote Control Helicopter

Skip to the bottom for the brief version.

The good:

I got this in the mail today and I have to say it looks better in person; the white and gold look very sleek (5 stars for it's looks). I read some good reviews about this helicopter online and decided it would be a nice upgrade from my 2 channel propel mini rc heli; which performs well and has gone 2 years and hundreds upon hundreds of crashes without breaking once. But enough about my old heli, the 107g is a great mini helicopter; it's 3.5 channel control allows the pilot to control lift, left and right turning, and forward / reverse which is awesome! 5 stars for being an affordable 3.5 channel heli. The quality of this heli is great, the manufacturer really spared no expense in using great parts on this great little heli(5 stars for quality). I've crashed it a few times and it doesn't show a single scratch, I give durability 4 stars since I've barely owned it

The Bad:

In all honesty, this heli performs exactly as it should. My only complaint is that the heli isn't very fast out of the box. Considering it's an indoor helicopter, slower speeds are definitely a good feature for those who haven't mastered the controls. This can't really be considered a big complaint considering how easily it can be modified to allow faster speeds for more advanced flyers (next section).

Mods:

1.) After reading about buying aftermarket rotor blades, spinning the rotor upside down, etc etc, I decided to simply remove a few pieces of the helicopter. I removed the 2 bars and the piece connecting them to the tail bar, along with the tail fin (not to be confused with the rotor). This does a few things: 1) lowers weight of the helicopter 2) increases power (due to weight loss) 3) increases battery life (due to weight loss) 4) makes the heli much faster and more responsive. Please note that the heli will be much faster than before, but it will be slightly less stable due to the lowered weight and increased speeds. Take it easy the first few times around the living room, it will take some getting use to.

2.) If your a speed freak and want the fastest s107g out there then you can also remove the landing bars. I don't recommend this for a small inside area as it can make it difficult to navigate around furniture and tight spaces. I would recommend this for people who fly in large indoor areas or outside as the speed increase can be fun. If that's not fast enough for you, then you can try the rotor flipping mod and replace the stock rotor with some fancy aftermarket one. If that isn't fast enough then, good for you, you have a house the size of a football field. :p

Breif Review:

The 107g is a great mini rc helicopter, looks great, flies great, has great stability. It is a little slow out of the box, but that can easily be fixed (see mods section above). Overall I rate this little heli a 5/5. It has everything I want in an indoor heli and I couldn't be happier for this low price. If you like flying the 2 channel indoor heli's then this is a great upgrade!
