The
Syma S107 is so easy to control that on my first flight I had it tour my whole apartment, zooming in and out of closets and never touching an obstacle until I deliberately landed it. If you've never flown a good
RC heli before, you might need to practice a bit. It might be your second or third flight before you get that good.
The S107 is really that easy to control.
I'm sure that many of you have played with Air Hogs and other micro helis and you long for a little heli that just plain flies where you want it to fly and stays up in the air. I'm here to tell you that such perfection is within your grasp.
Before I got my
S107, I already owned two
Syma S105s and I never get tired of flying them. They look almost identical to the
S107 and the remote is identical, but they take a little bit of skill to fly with precision and I've made little tweaks here and there to get better control.
The S107 takes almost no skill to fly. They gyro makes it laughably easy to control. Just use it indoors, get it about 4 feet off the ground so that ground-effects don't mess with it, fly it a decent distance from air conditioning vents and the thing moves like it's hanging from a string on a stick.
That perfection is, perhaps, its one big flaw.
The thing is, I think the
S105 is a bit more fun to play with. The
S105 needs careful trimming at the beginning of each flight. The
S105 tends to make broad turns, but pulls out sharply, risking blade-strikes, unexpected changes in direction and the occasional crash. It's incredibly easy to fly the
S105, but even so every time that I fly one I grow more skillful with it.
The
S107 just plain works. It goes where I point it.
I made one little change to my
S107, taping a paperclip to the front to help it move forward more easily. That's the sum of all modifications that I made to mine. I can't find anything else to tweak. That's awesome. It's amazing. It's a fun thing to play with and the feeling of exhilaration endures even after many flights.
I heartily recommend this heli.
...But if you want a similar heli that's similarly amazing yet introduces a smidgen of challenge to each flight, consider the
S105 as well.
