Buyer Evaluations
I personal four SYMA helos and they all have completely different characteristics.
1st, I purchased a red S107G for 22$ and was blown away. However, immediately after a multitude of crashes associated to hitting the ceiling my initially one particular was starting to show wear (rotor blades dented/chiped, broken canopy brace, led not centered, vertical stabilizer cracked awaiting it next crash to come off) inside one particular week.
Second, I purchased a second 107G and it came as yellow. The 1st thing I noticed was the yellow one particular, whilst completely identical other than color, was significantly more potent and battery lasted longer. As a result, it was a great deal more fun and additional tricky to fly than red.
Third, becoming 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 completely diverse helo all together. The collective (vertical manage) is not spring loaded like the S107G. Not only that, the Cobra is considerably extra robust in its response and power and can be complicated to manage. This is troublesome to me as the Cobra's body and frame appears to be totally plastic (as apposed to the S107 having a metal frame). Also, the Cobra has 1 solid white light which I favor to the flashing blue and red o the S107G. For the reason that the collective is not spring loaded you can make it hover and set the controls down on a table it nonetheless flies. Occasionally I forget to return the collective to zero when I crash. The Cobra has lost reception quite a few occasions and when it does it falls from the air and crashes. The Cobra appears to "Pop and Click" like a Marine should certainly--no kidding. It can speed about space a lot quicker than the other people and turns considerably additional rapidly. In fact, the other seems sluggish in comparison and it is quick to "oversteer."
Forth, I also essential to satisfy my curiousity associated to S109 (Apache). I have located the S109 is easier than all to fly. It also has two white leds rather than the flashing blue and red of the S107G. The controller is the similar as the S107. Overall, I extremely get it enjoyable to reliably fly around the space with complete and utter manage. I feel they did this to preserve the Army from crashing out of control--just kidding solders!
Bottom line, I give the S109 best rating more than the other individuals. I do obtain the responsivness and speed of the Cobra stimulating and of interest so I rate it second. If I fly with a person else I will select the Cobra for its speed and responsivenees. In the finish, I don't think the metal frame of the S107G will add substantially worth as the rest of the helo is plastic and does break. The cost of replacement components can't be justified as a new S107G at present goes for 22$.
This helicopter flew incredibly well - for a even though.
Syma makes a quantity of incredibly slick small helicopters - I have bought quite a few various models for the nephews and relatives, and everyone loves them. This helicopter, the cobra, looks fine and flew incredibly well. All of the Symas we tried so far fly incredibly well out of the box. The Blackhawk and Chinook flew particularly nicely. The challenge with this particular (Cobra) helicopter is the landing gear. After a handful 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 major deal - proper? Wrong. If the helicopter isn't standing up straight, it will not take off straight, and will almost certainly crash into something ahead of it stabilizes. The Blackhawk and Chinook have diverse landing gear which are much more durable.
For those of you who are very first time pilots, focus on hovering for your initially handful of flights. Just tweak the controls to try and keep the helicopter in 1 spot. If you can master hovering, the rest gets a lot simpler.
Syma's mini helicopters are only for indoor use. The dilemma with flying them outdoors is wind - the smallest puff of a breeze makes the helicpters uncontrolable.
For those of you who do not know significantly about Syma's RC helicopters, here is how they work:
1. Stabilization: For actual helicopters, the tail rotor controls rotation. With no a tail rotor, a genuine helicopter would be unable to turn, and would basically spin out of manage. The motor for the principal rotor desires to spin the fuselage in the opposite direction of the rotation of the most important propeller. Think about it - if you had been to magically "hold" the propeller in spot, the fuselage would spin. The motor of a normal helicopter, if left unchecked, would spin the propeller and the fuselage in opposite directions. In genuine helicopters, the tail rotor counteracts the rotational force that the primary rotor applies to the fuselage
With Syma's helicopters (other than the Chinook), they in fact have two principal propellers stacked on top of each and every 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 effect of keeping the helicopter stable, because the rotational forces of the two propellers on the fuselage cancel each other out. Syma's remote controllers come with a "Trim" control knob. This manage is utilized to make sure that the two primary propellers are spinning at the same RPM. If your helicopter's fuselage spins slightly on takeoff, use the trim knob to correct it up.
two. Turning: In order to turn, Syma's helicopters slow down one of the key rotors by a little amount, basically working with the forces described in 1 to rotate the fuselage. Turning for all of Syma's helicopters is particularly precise as soon as you have them trimmed.
three. Forward/Backward motion - this is controlled by the horizontally aligned tail rotor. To go forward, the tail rotor spins, producing down force, which pushes the tail up. When the tail is up, the most important rotors are angled slightly backwards, so the most important rotor pushes the helicopter forward. Reverse has the opposite impact. The tail prop pushes the tail down, which angles the thrust of the major rotors slightly forward, which pushes the helicopter backward.
four. Sideways motion (Yaw)- Syma's helicopters do not have any mechanism for tilting the helicopter's roto sideways, so the helicopters have no capability to move side to side. In true helicopters, the principal rotor tilts forward/backward, left and proper, and this supplies the capability for the helicopter to move in pretty much any direction.
This Cobra heli is not as stable in flight as the Chinook or the Blackhawk. It just appears like the helicopter is a little also responsive.
In brief, if you are a decent pilot, and won't crash, this helicopter is just fine. For my taste, although, the Blackhawk and Chinook are a great deal more durable and less complicated to fly.
1 other note - Pretty Crucial! This helicopter comes with an additional tail rotor in a plastic baggie. Save it, and put it in a secure spot. The tail rotor controls forward and backward motion, and if you lose your tail prop, all you can do is hover.
