Customer Testimonials
I own four SYMA helos and they all have diverse characteristics.
Very first, I bought a red S107G for 22$ and was blown away. Even so, immediately after a multitude of crashes associated to hitting the ceiling my very first 1 was starting to show put on (rotor blades dented/chiped, broken canopy brace, led not centered, vertical stabilizer cracked awaiting it next crash to come off) inside 1 week.
Second, I purchased a second 107G and it came as yellow. The 1st issue I noticed was the yellow 1, whilst absolutely identical other than color, was significantly alot more powerful and battery lasted longer. As a result, it was a lot more enjoyable and a great deal more tricky to fly than red.
Third, becoming that I am former active duty helocopter mechanic (CH-53a,d,e, T64-GE-416) for the Marines, I bought the S108G (Cobra). People, the Cobra is a entirely completely different helo all together. The collective (vertical manage) is not spring loaded like the S107G. Not only that, the Cobra is much extra robust in its response and power and can be complicated to manage. This is troublesome to me as the Cobra's body and frame appears to be entirely plastic (as apposed to the S107 getting a metal frame). Also, the Cobra has a single solid white light which I prefer to the flashing blue and red o the S107G. Because the collective is not spring loaded you can make it hover and set the controls down on a table it nevertheless flies. Quite often I forget to return the collective to zero when I crash. The Cobra has lost reception a number of instances and when it does it falls from the air and crashes. The Cobra appears to "Pop and Click" like a Marine ought to--no kidding. It can speed about room much more rapidly than the other individuals and turns considerably way more fast. In reality, the other seems sluggish in comparison and it is quick to "oversteer."
Forth, I also required to satisfy my curiousity connected to S109 (Apache). I have located the S109 is less complicated than all to fly. It also has two white leds rather than the flashing blue and red of the S107G. The controller is the same as the S107. General, I actually get it enjoyable to reliably fly around the space with full and utter manage. I consider they did this to keep the Army from crashing out of control--just kidding solders!
Bottom line, I give the S109 leading rating more than the other people. I do acquire the responsivness and speed of the Cobra stimulating and of interest so I rate it second. If I fly with somebody else I will choose the Cobra for its speed and responsivenees. In the end, I do not consider the metal frame of the S107G will add much value as the rest of the helo is plastic and does break. The cost of replacement components cannot be justified as a new S107G at present goes for 22$.
This helicopter flew extremely well - for a although.
Syma tends to make a number of incredibly slick little helicopters - I have purchased a few distinct models for the nephews and relatives, and every person loves them. This helicopter, the cobra, looks very good and flew pretty nicely. All of the Symas we tried so far fly quite nicely out of the box. The Blackhawk and Chinook flew extremely nicely. The challenge with this specific (Cobra) helicopter is the landing gear. Right after a couple of crashes, the strut on 1 of the landing gear broke, meaning that on the ground, the helicopter won't stand up perfectly straight. No big deal - appropriate? Incorrect. If the helicopter is not standing up straight, it will not take off straight, and will almost certainly crash into a thing before it stabilizes. The Blackhawk and Chinook have unique landing gear which are even more durable.
For those of you who are very first time pilots, concentrate on hovering for your 1st few flights. Just tweak the controls to try and keep the helicopter in 1 spot. If you can master hovering, the rest gets a lot easier.
Syma's mini helicopters are only for indoor use. The trouble with flying them outdoors is wind - the smallest puff of a breeze tends to make the helicpters uncontrolable.
For those of you who do not know considerably about Syma's RC helicopters, right here is how they operate:
1. Stabilization: For real helicopters, the tail rotor controls rotation. Without a tail rotor, a true helicopter would be unable to turn, and would really spin out of manage. The motor for the principal rotor desires to spin the fuselage in the opposite direction of the rotation of the primary propeller. Assume about it - if you had been to magically "hold" the propeller in location, the fuselage would spin. The motor of a typical helicopter, if left unchecked, would spin the propeller and the fuselage in opposite directions. In real helicopters, the tail rotor counteracts the rotational force that the major rotor applies to the fuselage
With Syma's helicopters (other than the Chinook), they really have 2 most important propellers stacked on top of every single other that have blades that are angled differently, and spin in opposite directions. Each propellers deliver down force, but also develop torque on the fuselage in opposite directions. This has the effect of keeping the helicopter stable, because the rotational forces of the 2 propellers on the fuselage cancel every other out. Syma's remote controllers come with a "Trim" control knob. This control is made use of to make confident that the two primary propellers are spinning at the similar RPM. If your helicopter's fuselage spins slightly on takeoff, use the trim knob to true it up.
two. Turning: In order to turn, Syma's helicopters slow down a single of the key rotors by a modest amount, essentially applying the forces described in 1 to rotate the fuselage. Turning for all of Syma's helicopters is pretty precise when you have them trimmed.
three. Forward/Backward motion - this is controlled by the horizontally aligned tail rotor. To go forward, the tail rotor spins, making down force, which pushes the tail up. When the tail is up, the major rotors are angled slightly backwards, so the main rotor pushes the helicopter forward. Reverse has the opposite effect. The tail prop pushes the tail down, which angles the thrust of the most important rotors slightly forward, which pushes the helicopter backward.
4. Sideways motion (Yaw)- Syma's helicopters do not have any mechanism for tilting the helicopter's roto sideways, so the helicopters have no capacity to move side to side. In true helicopters, the most important rotor tilts forward/backward, left and correct, and this offers the capacity for the helicopter to move in fairly much any direction.
This Cobra heli is not as stable in flight as the Chinook or the Blackhawk. It just appears like the helicopter is a little also responsive.
In brief, if you are a really good pilot, and will not crash, this helicopter is just fine. For my taste, though, the Blackhawk and Chinook are even more durable and a lot easier to fly.
A single other note - Quite Very important! This helicopter comes with an additional tail rotor in a plastic baggie. Save it, and put it in a secure spot. The tail rotor controls forward and backward motion, and if you shed your tail prop, all you can do is hover.
