Best $22 Toy Ever Made!,
I’m a 47-year-old kid who has always loved aviation and RC models. Cars, planes, everything. I currently have two other small scale rc helicopters that I have enjoyed, but they are NOTHING like the Syma S107. Not even close. The thing is, they cost A LOT more.
I see a lot of comments here about how easy this model is to break. The two channel models I have are much more likely to break because you have very little control. With the Syma S107, you have ABSOLUTE control. Have you ever seen a dragonfly in flight – stopping and turning on a dime? That’s what this helicopter reminds me of.
Right out of the box it is impressive. The quality of construction is beautiful to look at. If you’ve ever seen one of the huge rc helicopters that the pros fly, this looks like a scaled down version, with a metal frame and boom tubes just like the big ones. Two separate motors operate the main rotors independently. When you initiate a turn, one rotor spins faster than the other to generate torque, which turns the aircraft. It’s the same principle that is used to turn real twin main rotor helicopters like the CH-46 Sea Knight and the CH-47 Chinook.
The really cool part is the tail rotor. It’s mounted at 90 degrees to what you’re used to seeing on a helicopter. It blows air up and down, not left and right. The tail rotor is what generates forward and backward movement by raising or lowering the tail, and it is very precise and responsive.
A couple of tips if you’re new to this type of toy:
1. After charging, put the helicopter on a good, clear section of floor and turn on the helicopter and remote.
2. Don’t touch the right control yoke yet – you don’t need it.
3. Hold the throttle yoke in your left hand and the small trim adjuster knob in the right.
4. GRADUALLY move the left yoke forward to increase throttle until the helicopter barely leaves the ground. Watch for left or right rotation and turn the trim knob to make the helicopter hover without rotating. Once it hovers without turning by using only the throttle, you’re ready to fly.
5. Get used to the throttle by GRADUALLY increasing and decreasing. The biggest problem is using too much throttle and hitting the ceiling, then the helicopter falls all the way to the floor. That’s how they break. If you’re careful, you’ll be OK.
6. ENJOY. This is the coolest toy I’ve had in years, and my kids like it so much, I bought another for each of them today.

|Fun toy, too bad I bought it in Tokyo for way more…,
This toy is great, even for the big kids to play around with. It’s a very durable and easy to use helicopter and requires no previous skills to fly. Best of all, you can charge it using your computer’s USB port or the remote controller it comes with. One thing to note is that this toy is IR controlled, not radio controlled. That means that it’s more line-of-sight than being able to control it from another room for example. That being said, it will not get interfered with by cordless phones or other radio emitting devices.
You can fly this little guy in a small apartment or a small room and you will have fun doing so. It’s great for offices since it’s not too loud and again easy to maneuver.
Hope you enjoy it!
