Client Reviews
I personal four SYMA helos and they all have completely different characteristics.
Initial, I purchased a red S107G for 22$ and was blown away. Then again, just after a multitude of crashes connected to hitting the ceiling my 1st one particular was beginning to show wear (rotor blades dented/chiped, broken canopy brace, led not centered, vertical stabilizer cracked awaiting it next crash to come off) within one particular week.
Second, I bought a second 107G and it came as yellow. The 1st issue I noticed was the yellow 1, when absolutely identical other than color, was substantially alot more potent and battery lasted longer. As a result, it was additional entertaining and additional troublesome to fly than red.
Third, being that I am former active duty helocopter mechanic (CH-53a,d,e, T64-GE-416) for the Marines, I purchased the S108G (Cobra). Folks, the Cobra is a fully distinct helo all together. The collective (vertical control) is not spring loaded like the S107G. Not only that, the Cobra is much additional robust in its response and power and can be challenging to manage. This is troublesome to me as the Cobra's body and frame appears to be completely plastic (as apposed to the S107 having a metal frame). Also, the Cobra has one particular solid white light which I prefer to the flashing blue and red o the S107G. Mainly because the collective is not spring loaded you can make it hover and set the controls down on a table it nonetheless flies. Often I forget to return the collective to zero when I crash. The Cobra has lost reception many instances and when it does it falls from the air and crashes. The Cobra appears to "Pop and Click" like a Marine should--no kidding. It can speed around room significantly more rapidly than the others and turns substantially a lot more immediately. In reality, the other seems sluggish in comparison and it is simple and easy to "oversteer."
Forth, I also required to satisfy my curiousity connected to S109 (Apache). I have located the S109 is simpler than all to fly. It also has two white leds rather than the flashing blue and red of the S107G. The controller is the identical as the S107. Overall, I definitely acquire it enjoyable to reliably fly around the room with complete and utter control. I believe they did this to maintain the Army from crashing out of control--just kidding solders!
Bottom line, I give the S109 top rating more than the other people. I do discover the responsivness and speed of the Cobra stimulating and of interest so I rate it second. If I fly with somebody else I will pick out the Cobra for its speed and responsivenees. In the finish, I don't assume the metal frame of the S107G will add much value as the rest of the helo is plastic and does break. The price of replacement components can't be justified as a new S107G at the moment goes for 22$.
This helicopter flew really well - for a while.
Syma makes a quantity of particularly slick tiny helicopters - I have purchased a few various models for the nephews and relatives, and absolutely everyone loves them. This helicopter, the cobra, looks superior and flew fairly properly. All of the Symas we tried so far fly quite properly out of the box. The Blackhawk and Chinook flew really well. The challenge with this distinct (Cobra) helicopter is the landing gear. Immediately 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 significant deal - perfect? Incorrect. If the helicopter is not standing up straight, it won't take off straight, and will most likely crash into some thing ahead of it stabilizes. The Blackhawk and Chinook have completely different landing gear which are extra durable.
For those of you who are first time pilots, focus on hovering for your first few flights. Just tweak the controls to attempt and preserve the helicopter in 1 location. If you can master hovering, the rest gets a lot less complicated.
Syma's mini helicopters are only for indoor use. The predicament with flying them outdoors is wind - the smallest puff of a breeze tends to make the helicpters uncontrolable.
For those of you who don't know significantly about Syma's RC helicopters, here is how they operate:
1. Stabilization: For true helicopters, the tail rotor controls rotation. With no a tail rotor, a real helicopter would be unable to turn, and would really spin out of manage. The motor for the key rotor desires to spin the fuselage in the opposite direction of the rotation of the primary propeller. Consider about it - if you had been to magically "hold" the propeller in place, 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 most important rotor applies to the fuselage
With Syma's helicopters (other than the Chinook), they truly have two principal propellers stacked on leading of every single other that have blades that are angled differently, and spin in opposite directions. Each propellers deliver down force, but also generate torque on the fuselage in opposite directions. This has the impact of keeping the helicopter stable, due to the fact 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 put to use to make positive that the 2 principal propellers are spinning at the very same RPM. If your helicopter's fuselage spins slightly on takeoff, use the trim knob to correct it up.
2. Turning: In order to turn, Syma's helicopters slow down 1 of the main rotors by a small amount, essentially working with the forces described in 1 to rotate the fuselage. Turning for all of Syma's helicopters is especially precise once you have them trimmed.
3. 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 principal rotors are angled slightly backwards, so the key rotor pushes the helicopter forward. Reverse has the opposite impact. The tail prop pushes the tail down, which angles the thrust of the main rotors slightly forward, which pushes the helicopter backward.
four. Sideways motion (Yaw)- Syma's helicopters don't 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 principal rotor tilts forward/backward, left and right, and this provides the potential for the helicopter to move in pretty considerably any direction.
This Cobra heli is not as stable in flight as the Chinook or the Blackhawk. It just seems like the helicopter is a little as well responsive.
In short, if you are a very good pilot, and will not crash, this helicopter is just fine. For my taste, even though, the Blackhawk and Chinook are way more durable and simpler to fly.
One particular other note - Very Vital! This helicopter comes with an extra tail rotor in a plastic baggie. Save it, and put it in a safe location. The tail rotor controls forward and backward motion, and if you lose your tail prop, all you can do is hover.
