This review is from: Syma Schweizer 300 Radio Remote Control Helicopter (Toy)
My Syma Schweizer 300 was very easy to fly,but almost uncontrollable. As a 2-channel helicopter, the only way to change direction is with the tail rotor. If the helicopter was properly adjusted, it would always go in a forward direction, where forward is the direction you point it in.
Unfortunately, mine had no forward motion, it wanted to just hover. Therefore, it would go wherever the wind blows, regardless of which way you point it.
I tried to adjust it myself with no success. Still, it was fun to make it go up and down and turn around, even if the wind was really in control.
We only flew it over grass, but after one slightly hard landing, a part supporting the rotor broke. So far, I have been unable to find a spare.
I think it could have been more robust to survive the slightly hard landing.
The control aspect was disappointing.
If you find it on sale, buy two, so you'll have spare parts.

This broke the first time we landed it. I called the company and they said if it looked like "play" damage we wouldn't get our money back. Our son was devistated.
