CUSTOMER REVIEW



Haven't had these long; but all five of them took a charge as well as the

original battery that came with my Hubsan 107C and all provided more

flying time than the original.

Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter *Colors Vary

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I ordered this helicopter along with 3 other helicopters. 3 from Syma and one off brand helicopter. I ordered multiple helicopters because the only ones I have flown have been 2 channel and if one broke I would have backup. I ordered the Syma S107 and S105 at the same time, and the S107 arrived first and the S105 arrived the next day. On my frist flight of the S107 I was suprised how stable and smooth the flight was. The box says 14 and up but I think anyone could control this helicopter. It goes up, down, left, right, forward, and backwards, all at a balanced speed thats good for indoor flight. It is not too slow to be boring or too fast that you can't controll it. The trim button on the controller is pretty much not needed because it does not spin out of control. I still havnt adjusted the trim after about 20 flights. Also, both Syma helicopters are VERY durable since they are made of metal and hard plastic. The blades are also durable. There are some differences in the S107 and S105. The S105 is slightly wider and slightly longer. It also has two LED lights on each side and one in the front, a total of 6, which can be cool or annoying, it just depends on preference. The s107 has a single light on the front. The S105 seems to spin out more than the S107 and is more difficult to trim. This is an obvious flaw that was addressed with the newer S107, because it does not spin out at all. They both can be charged with the controller or through a USB port on your computer which is good if you don't want to waste your batteries on your controller. They both use 6 AA batteries in the controller. Both helicopters are extremely durable and have been crashed several times. My only complaint with them is the flight time is only around 5 minutes, although I don't have anything to compare it to because the other 2 helicopters I ordered are still not here yet after about a week and a half. Also, the only option for shipping is standard shipping. Overall I would recommend the S107 over the S105 because of the trim issue with the S105, but both are excellent helicopters and they are a very good price.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



My first impressions



The packaging is simple but the wire holding the helicopter to the packaging can be a little annoying. Nonetheless the helicopter comes assembled so all you need to do is add batteries (6x AA) to the remote controller and in my case I turned the helicopter to the (On) position and it started right up.



This is a 3 Channel Remote Controlled device meaning that you control 3 functions of the helicopter. This is sufficient because it allows you to control lift (up/down), yaw (left/right) and pitch (forward/backward).



I got to observe how the helicopter functions. While knowing already the properties of real helicopters I was curious why RC Helicopters were designed in such a way. The blades collapse freely which helps with protecting them from damage in the event they come in contact with something and the momentum of the motor keeps them extended when operating. The reason for two tier bladed design is to allow the Helicopter to yaw (rotate left/right) by speeding up one set of blades or the other. The knob on the controller also helps trim this function so that the helicopter won't rotate undesirably when flying. The tail rotor which in a typical helicopter helps overcome the rotational force of the main rotor, but in the RC Helicopter it allows the pitch (forward/backward movement). The weighted bar on the very top of the blades balances the helicopter so that it stays level and right-side up.



The construction of this is rather sturdy and for the price I paid ($13 Amazon Warehouse deal) I have no complaints what so ever. This is a fun toy and interesting to play around with. Learning how it flies will result in several crashes but even after some hard hits all I needed to do was adjust the skid (landing gear) because it was a little bent. Replacement parts seem to be widely available and the helicopter does come with 1 spare rear rotor blade. Battery replacements will require some soldering.



I was able to get about 2 minutes of flight time (and crashes) on the pre-charged battery which was a nice little treat. Charging time indicates 45-50 minutes and despite all the colorful lights the helicopter makes when plugged in and having the helicopter (On), it will NOT charge unless the helicopter is turned to the (Off) position. The USB light indicator will turn (on) when the helicopter is fully charged. For the price this is an easy buy for anyone who is into RC stuff and helicopters and you don't have to feel guilty about the price being so low because it's pretty well made.



Flight tips:



Pre-flight checks: Before taking off allow the blades to spin enough to where the helicopter won't lift but you can see whether or not it is rotating left or right. Make your adjustments to the trim knob accordingly until the helicopter remains stable and doesn't rotate. Proceed to fly but you may need to adjust the trim knob during flight as the power levels go down on the battery.



Small adjustments: The adjustments are very sensitive so naturally you will want to over correct when you feel you cannot control it properly. With time and practice you will notice how easily maneuverable and responsive that this RC Helicopter is.



Rotor wash: This is something to be aware of when in close proximity to the ground or an object. The rotors create a downward thrust which gives it lift but when close to an object or the floor this thrust is reflected back up into the blades which can give it unstable characteristics. If trying to challenge yourself and perform landings on various precise locations it's important make very small adjustments and descend gradually.



More than a dozen flights under my belt this helicopter will remain in the air for roughly 4-7 minutes. I haven't had any luck trying to cargo-lift objects so it doesn't have enough thrust I imagine. The Syma S107C Spycam 3.5 Channel RC Helicopter with Gyro (Colors May Vary) I suspect has a more powerful motor which enables it to carry the camera it comes with. Charging time is right around 50 minutes and I use one of those AC USB wall plugs that smart phones typically come with now days as opposed to a computer with no adverse effects. Smacking into the corners of walls, bouncing off cabinets, tumbling to the ground from a 4-5ft drop has done little to scar this helicopter. The landing gear might need a little adjusting from time to time and the blades show very minimal wear considering the abuse. A very well made birthday or christmas gift in my opinion and at this price point you cannot go wrong.

Syma X5C 4 Channel 2.4GHz RC Explorers Quad Copter w/ Camera

CUSTOMER REVIEW



The best flying toy in my collection so far ( a bunch of expensive heli's and a couple of quads )



No instructions in ANY language included. Look online or learn on a SYMA X-1 quad. Box came early from China but was beat-up. Fortunately this is a tough little quad !



IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCED - you will be OK without the blade guards ( which are a nuisance and add weight ). Otherwise learn with incremental progress - and no regrets.



A tip: put a strip of brightly colored tape or paper on the back of the body of the quad so you can see the orientation from a distance. It gets very small very fast when it is high and the wind is taking it away. Knowing how it is pointed may be the last chance to bring it back " ;-( "



The Camera - comes with 2GB Micro-SD with proof-pictures from the factory in China. Way Cool !



The camera is made to still frame / video using the UP-DOWN TRIM control on the LEFT SIDE of the controller. There ! .. .. .. I just saved you the pain of sending back a "broken" camera ! After the controller is linked - look at the light on the bottom of the camera. Green is "ready". Push the trim UP to take one frame ( one RED blink ) Push the trim DOWN to start video ( periodic, continuing RED blinking ) Push a second time to stop video and save file ! ( don't just kill the power ! )



IF YOU WANT CORRECT TIME STAMPS ON YOUR CAPTURE FILES - here's the secret. You won't find this anywhere else - so be generous with your thanks !



Use notepad or other text editor. create a file on the micro-SD card named "time.txt" with the content ( on one line ) and WITHOUT the quotes ! "yyyy/mm/dd hh.mm.ss" example: "2014/10/23 21.10.00" and one carriage return

then save the file. This file will set the camera's clock.



So maybe it's a little under-powered and we'd like more flight time. This little quad is a fantastic value, fun to fly, takes pictures that you'll love better than your buddy's GoPro and $ 800 quad. Because it's not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean that matters.



Since this little beast LOOKS LIKE A DRONE - and folks can't tell that it's just a little flying toy - you might want to be careful where you fly it. Like not over your neighbor's swimming pool or outside their second - story window. On the plus side - it is small enough to hide under your shirt when the cops come.



This is a new release from SYMA and not always available. AMAZON sellers are the most reliable and least likely to disappoint. Folks who worry alot should look for a USA shipper ( if possible ) and many well-rated transactions.



I liked my seller - who delivered very fast and whom I gave FIVE STARS ( hoping they will box stuff better for the long trip from LongGang, Shenzhen, China to Miami, Florida, USA via "Small Packet By AIR" )



Ya' know - I almost wish I bought two of these things. I coulda made a friend very happy.



( note added 11/2014 - i did buy a second SYMA X-5C - after I learned about wind and needing the colored tape )



Plz comment my review if i saved you some grief !

CUSTOMER REVIEW



To correct the description, it actually needs 6 AA batteries.



I wanted an inexpensive off road R/C vehicle that didn't cost much over $100. I'm not planning on racing, just something for the yard and driveway. Well, this fit the bill perfectly. It will crawl over grass, sidewalks, sand, small animals, almost anything that gets in it's way. It does exactly what you think those cheap R/C trucks SHOULD do but don't. I drove it in the rain and through shallow water and it did great. The only downside so far is the whine of the motors but it probably geared to heck to do all that it does. I paid less for it at Wally World so shop around.



+ two motors

+ true four wheel drive

+ AA batteries (not some battery pack that is hard to find)

+ good value for the money

+ good tires and suspension



- motor/gear whine
