Remote Control Helicopter
One of the hottest toys of the season is the remote controlled Syma S107 helicopter (Syma S107/S107G R/C).
This Syma helicopter consists almost entirely of aluminum. It is of high quality, has a great look, and is easy to fly. The helicopter is already assembled and only requires charging of the battery before it is ready to take off and fly. The frame is completely made of aluminum and the cockpit is extremely flexible and virtually indestructible. With its durable construction, the helicopter is can withstand crashes and collisions without sustaining damage. In the rare event that damage occurs, virtually every part on the craft is replaceable.
The helicopter is suitable for beginners too thanks to its intuitive and precise controller. It can be operated in all directions to bring you a truly special flight experience. The LED lighting make this helicopter even in the dark a true eye-catcher!
The helicopter has dimensions of eight inches by four inches by eight inches and it weighs only two pounds. The remote has two joysticks, one to control the rotor speed for generating lift, and another joystick to control forward and reverse movement of the craft. This toy helicopter is recommended for persons of 14 years of age and older.
According to reviews by individuals who have purchased this helicopter, it is easy to learn how to control, with impressive reverse figure eights possible after only a short time of playing around with the copter.
Also noted is the fact that a large number of modifications are possible with this unit. For example, removing the spring from the left joystick controller allows the helicopter to hover with no hands on the control. Another modification can result in more forward speed, achieved by either moving the landing gear forward in the mounts which moves the center of gravity slightly forward. The faster speed is also possible by fastening a paper clip to the front of the flying machine. Then there is the fly bar modification and a whole host of others as well.
