i got the syma 108g cobra, and i used this mod on it as well. you don't even have to remove the batteries, you can leave them there, and the cover can be left screwed to the batteries.
Good lookin out on posting this. I just ordered the s107g and prefer the NON spring load action., as I also own a Spektrum dx6i for my Blade helis and the left stick is non spring loaded. Will be using this mod the instant my s109g shows up in the mail!
Done. Took like 2 mins. After taking apart my PS3 controller to clean it out (someone got a bit of soda on it and the buttons started sticking), this was ridiculously easy! Thanks!
This is a must for the s107! makes hovering a snap. do watch out if you let your friends use it though cuz if they crash it the props will still b running until you kill the throttle
@mrfishin101 no, the controller is used for the chinook version as well, where there would be tilt buttons, on this one there is nothing there because it doesn't have that function.
Soo glad I found this video a spring in the throttle is a stupid idea on a heli mine should be here in the morning and this Is the first thing I will be doing whilst the heli is charging via USB :) happy flying people
My only suggestion here is taping that spring down so it doesn't come loose and get into your electronics and short something out.. Otherwise, thanks for the tutorial.
The heli and all only cost $24 shipped. You'll spend more grief, time, and possibly money dealing with any warranty issue than you would just buying another one.
I just ordered one of these and the new model doesn't have a visible spring inside the remote case. My model S 107 has the accelerator stick protruding from a small metal enclosure with the spring mounted inside somewhere. Does anyone know if the new models can be modified without breaking anything?
Do NOT put forward pitch onto the heli wthout the tail rotor as the motors disintegrate in a second or two, causing huge battery drain when moving forward. A good suggestion is to superglue the tail rotor on (it'll come off easily enough if you break a tail rotor blade, so don't worry)
I tried this and it does make it a little difficult to fly and you have to get used to pulling the throttle back down when you crash.

I didn't do this at first, and now that I've gotten used to the spring, I actually like it better than no spring. :)

DO NOT do this, it makes the helicopter very nervous and twitchy, and when you come to put it back on the spring needs to be bent to get it on.
