Syma s107

This micro battery driven helicopter has a set of contra rotation main and one horizontal tail rotor, that can be used to lift for forward flight or down to fly backward. Was bought for our Grandson and for me to have a try. I found it easy to fly straight out of the box, but as he is nowhere near the recommended age, we will have to see how long it is before he has it up on the roof.

Ok thank you very much for clearing that up for me. I just ordered a red one and I am super excited! Sadly shipping will take 18 days :(

@iPwnisher I hope that it is not having to fly all the way. Seems a long time to wait, but know that the wait, will be worth it. :)

I seem to remember, I did do a charge. It was fresh out of the box, given a charge, flown, with a bit of stuff being done before filming. No crashes and then after a charge a bit more.

It could be as the batteries were new and there had been no conditioning done, that later on they would have held more charge. Hope this sorts your question.

You have a killer backyard. Very nice.. Wanna adopt me?

[dave20thmay]

@DroogInPhoenix I am glad that you like it. My Mrs. thinks it should be better. She can only just look after me. So may have to decline you offer of being up for adoption. Have a Great New Year.

As I have said, this was as it was out of the box, with me being new to using any control system. So if I can do this on the first time, it shows how easy it was. Now over a year later, I should get round to doing another, with the camera following the Heli around to show how well it can be controlled. I did write an answer to this on Christmas Day, but for some reason on my iPad, it has gone of into the ether

Hi, I'm wondering if this entire video was done on a single charge. Am I right or did you have to stop the video to charge it?

@MrMtnbuilder I had some of the original small helicopters when they first started making them, made of foam, unstable, crashes... It has come a long way.. Boring no, not frustrating, yes.

@XDrizzell93 Try changing the channel switches on the remote and the helicopter. Hope that it is because they are not on the same frequency. That you are not able to communicate from the controller to the craft. Regards dave20thmay

so stable, that it just boring.
