I must admit I was wondering whether the reviews were artificially written by the manufacturers/sellers,.... However, the first flight put me at rest...I am 80 used to fly big birds but this is great fun and now a few of my friends are enjoying the same S107's. Expect quite a few spectacular crashes when people open doors or the airconditioning comes on when least expected. Improvements ...Remove the nose and place a small weight ie. a nut in the nose and replace it to give the forward flight characteristics more momentum...then you can scoot around the room easily. Think I can now impress my wife that I could fly a larger one without destroying the house !!!!!

I bought this for my 10 year old. She has another Syma helicopter and it has lasted 2 years of flying and crashing so I chose another Syma. I thought the bult in gyro would add to the enjoyment and it does. The helicopter flies like a home sick angel! It is stable, will hover if you hold the throttle steady, can be accurately directed and easily flown without crashing. Sounds like perfection and at a very reasonable price. There is one problem that spoils the fun though. After about 2-3 minutes flight time it will not hold altitude. You can get it to climb by flying in a forward direction and extend you flight a couple more minutes or you can land it and let the battery recover for a few seconds and it will climb or hold altitude but only for another 10-15 seconds and then it begans decending again. Even if you do use the forward flying trick (a half dozen circles going forward will get you 3-4 feet altitude) or you shut it down for a few seconds to give you enough to climb to the five or six foot level where I usually fly to avoid the sofa you only get about 5 1/2 minutes total fly time half of which is psent trying to extend you flight time. It takes 30-40 minutes to charge the battery. The other rc copters we have owned took about 8-10 minutes. This could have been an amazing toy with a slightly bigger battery.

This is the real deal. The gyro works perfect like it should. Other brands make claims that their products can't back up. But this little heli is worth every penny.
I've tried 4 other brands and they sucked. This S107 would fly circles around them and it will land where you want it to. Do a search on youtube and you can see for yourself.

I bought this for my girlfriend (26 yrs) who has never flown. Right from the box, she was able to hover and fly this with absolutely no problem. She is on her 5th charge now, and has not crashed once. This is a great heli for the money - no question about it. Stop reading this review and buy this.

There are a lot (a lot!) of lousey micro helicopters out there and a few good ones. This is -the- one to get. Controls are effortless and as long as you're in a room with a decent amount of space, you'll be flying fine in no time.
First off, the remote is infrared--meaning you'll need to keep an open line of sight between the control and the helicopter (don't let the "RC" fool you--it's remote control, not radio control). That said, the remote must be very bright because I haven't lost signal to it once. The controls are 3 channel: you have control over power, yaw, and pitch. Basically, you can go up and down, turn left and right, and move forward and backward (about all that's missing is roll--you can't move side to side). Flight is easy and intuitive, thanks in part to the built in gyro. This thing is easy to fly. Take it off, and put the stick somewhere in the middle, and it'll just hover before you. It's extremely resonsive to turning. Forward/backward movement is a little sluggish, but not bad (just not as responsive as turning). Because this is a dual-counter-rotating system, the helicopter is inherantly stable, unlike a real helicopter. There's no rotational moment to compensate for as on a traditional helicopter (and in fact, the tail rotor is vertical--it's only function is forward/backward propulsion).
The heli is very light--you won't want to use it outdoors unless there isn't even the slightest breeze. You also won't want to use it outdoors in direct sunlight as that can blind the remote sensor and you'll lose control. Even indoors, you'll want to avoid air conditioning vents and fans.

I researched very carefully before I bought this heli. There is alot of junk out there but this isn't it. This thing is a breeze to fly and it is very durable. I've gotten too close to furniture and crashed several times. I am yet to break anything including the blades. This heli has a li-po battery and if you treat it right, it will give you alot of enjoyment. You will destroy the battery if you overcharge it. You have to unplug it as soon as the indicator lights up. You also don't ever want to run it completely dead. This thing makes Airhogs look like junk. (because they are) I highly recommend this heli to anyone!

This is a great introduction to remote control helicopters. It is very stable, very rugged. Ironically, the first (and only) thing to break wasn't the blades or motors or other high-speed parts, it was the power switch! (But we can still turn it on, we just need to use something sharp to pry the switch back and forth inside its housing.) That's unfortunate, but I give them the benefit of a doubt that it's an uncommon problem, and even more so I appreciate that they publish a full parts list in the manual, so theoretically we could order a replacement for the electronics board. That used to be standard practice in ye olden days, I appreciate that they facilitate user repair instead of being a simple throw-away.
Flight is very straightforward. It doesn't move very fast forward or backward, but that's part of what makes it easy to control--the lack of speed is part-and-parcel of the self stabilizing design. (To go forward it has to tilt, but at the same time the stabilization mechanism is actively resisting tilting to keep it stable.) However, it's fast enough, you wouldn't want to go much faster indoors anyway!
We did try it outdoors, and on a cloudy day it still works pretty well! It will struggle against any wind though, you'll have to fly full-speed upwind against any slight breeze just to hold a position. On a full charge, it's pretty impressive how high it can go, but beware once it loses range with the controller it will start falling, and it may not recover gracefully to avoid damage with the ground if it falls from that high. (ours did avoid damage btw, which is a testament to its ruggedness. I was sure I was going to be picking up pieces!)
There are two 'channels' on the controller, so you can fly two of these at the same time.... Read more ›

Tons of fun and easy to learn to fly
The key factor for successful flight is to be in a large enough room without significant air currents. It's super easy to fly in that sort of environment. Read more

Really Good
It runs smoothly and this helicopter is easy to control with some practice. Definite winner. Has two blades that spin opposite directions, making it able to turn very easily.

Stopped working in 6 days.
It is a really fun heli but it stopped working after 6 days. I think that the receiver on the helicopter stopped working so the helicopter kept on falling out of the air. Read more
