I have one and I think it flies very well, especially for the price. I removed the fly bar weights, landing skids and one of the rear tail fins to make it fly a little more aggressive. It is perfect for flying around from my desk.

If you think you want to try a 4 channel or 6 channel in the future, don't start on a 3 channel. The controls are completely different. Get a coaxial to start. A little more pricey, but way more beneficial.

If you a noob to helis you need to start with a 4channel co-axial. As far a I know Syma doesnt make a 4 channel co-axial. |
I got the Syma S107 R/C Helicopter for christmas, and its pretty fun. The controller takes a bit of getting used to , but the helicopter itself is quite sturdy.

Like they said. The syma s107 is a fun, very easy to fly heli. But a 3 channel heli will help you in no way if you want to step up to flying a "real" 4 channel or higher heli. I have the syma s107 and it's almost to easy too fly! It is alot of fun though.The heli itself withstood several crashes from me and seems very well built for the price. Alot better built than "air hog" type helis thay sell at toy stores and kiosks at the mall. If you're buying it just for fun around the house or office, it's perfect. If you're buyin it to "learn" how to fly rc helis, well.... not good for that. My S107 was lots of fun and easy to fly until I dropped the remote. It landed right on one of the sticks and all my fun was over :cry:. For $25-$30, I'm probably going to buy another one. Hope this helps.

I'm happy with mine, I chase my cat around with it. Very easy to fly and very very fun and cool! I think I'm into heli's now! :nod:
|
Both my kids have Syma Heli's.
They are VERY durable and have survived a ton of crashes, a cat mauling and an attempt to fly it outside.. lol. :) So far, just some tape was all thats needed to fix my sons after he crashed it, and stepped on it. Greg |
Where are you going to get parts for this SYMA if it breaks?
I bought an E-flite mSR and I love it. It wasn't easy to learn, but that challenge is what made it so fun. If it was very easy to fly I would have put it down a day or two later. On top of that, E-flite helis are so durable. My mSR has crashed full speed into the walls multiple times and hasn't broken anything more than a landing gear. And E-flite parts are readily available in most of the local hobby shops here. I can't say any of them carry SYMA. I'd say save your money and get an mSR or an mCX. It will be worth it in the long run and if you decide you don't like it you will have something with resale value. |
I have the Syma S107. Its very stable, durable & good for a beginner.
|
I love both of my SYMA S107's! :nod:

Lishi Phantom 6010 is better than CYMA
SYMA comes with small Lipo only can fly about 5 minutes each full charge. Phantom 6010 or Lishi L6019 fly about 9 minutes!

THe syma s107 is a great heli to play with. But then again, that's what it is. It's a toy and not really something i would recommend if you really want to learn how to fly any RC heli like a 4 channel and ultimately a 6 channel.
The syma's are super sturdy. Check: http://www.rc-heli-review.com/rc-heli-reviews/syma-s107 You can't really fly them outdoor. any little breeze will blow them away. Indoor they are super fun and parts are widely availible and very cheap. Good Luck |
