I got one of these for Christmas. It's definitely the best present I've received in a while. There's something oddly fascinating about flying about my living/crashing around my living room :)
Your enthusiasm just sold me on this helicopter, I was already interested in one but after watching your video I have to have it! Ordering tonight, thanks for a great review.
I just got an S110G, about 5 inches long and I have an S800G. The 110 is simply the most fun I've ever had, and the 107 will be arriving in just a couple days!
I've had 30 or more mini copters, and none of them comes close to the S107g. It is a dream to fly, it's very stable, takes off straight up off any surface, it is real easy to fly, I've flown it at least 50 times without one crash. It handles perfectly, and it's a blast to fly. It flys longer than any others, and still charges like new. I am very happy with it! Not to mention that it's easy to charge, the off on switch is exactly opposite on the other side of the charging port making it easy to
These little guys are super dope. I had one a few years back and ended up losing it when I moved. Just bought another today. Super excited. $15-23 on amazon depending on color and seller.
Awesome, that one looks very well made, thanks for the vid I have gone through 3 mini helicopters, last one was an Air Hawg, I think (it shot little darts.. is that the one you had?) it was more stable than the rest, but dog got to it before I mastered it, lol Is this easier to fly than other minis? You say you've been flying these for a while so I'm interested in your opinion. I imagine for the price, I'll try one of these anyway, thanks again for the video ! And of course, Happy B-day !!
Great video! Thank you for posting it! Outstanding presentation and singularly helpful as I just purchased my helicopter today. You are an excellent public speaker by the way.
Thanks for sharing... I have one of these copters as well and I absolutely love it.. This is one of the copters of my collection. I am currently waiting on a larger electric heli... a 26 inch outdoor Heli. I hope it flies as good as the copters we have... I love the way they fly. So steady. Again, thank you for sharing. You have a cool sis. :)
Great video, I just got one for Christmas from my sister, it's great, I've never had anything like this before. It's tricky to master and I'm scared incase I break it as I keep bumping into things, but overall, VERY happy and will have a lot of fun with it
Just for info the weights are to keep it flat in flight, the extra gyroscopic stabilisation bit is done by an extra chip in the electronics to sense rotation and correct it to keep it facing the way you want :)
Thanks Fred for the great info now I feel assured someone's going to love there gift I've been a sub of yours for a while and usually watch your more gun related reviews and it was nice seeing a familiar face that I could trust thanks again
To deal with the ground effect on landing that you mention, it occurs to me that you might try to find a grid of some sort to allow the downdraft to flow through it. One example of such a grid is one of those professional pen and pencil holders where it is like a ten by ten grid and the pens and pencils drop down through it. A metal screen raised up slightly should also work, but it couldn't be too fine a mesh. Glad to see you are an NRA member! Again-- you post an outstanding video!
Great video...thanks for taking the time to do this. I've just placed an order on amazon for one of these (well,; really it's a gift from my wife but she's letting me pick the model I like and choose the colour I want) - thanks again. Great clear review.
Thank you very much for the review. I have been thinking about getting one of these and they are dirt-cheap! If you are interested in Quads at all, take a look at the Syma X1, it goes for about $45 shipped. I'm a noob at flying RCs and found this to be easy to learn and a joy to fly.
I love this heli, I've been messing with my blue one for about 2 days and have had a blast! Me any my brother try and knock each other out of the skies by warring with down drafts :). It's absolutely amazing fun to have down draft wars. Great video, keep 'em coming. You've got my sub. ^_^
Many early happy returns. =] From what i've been told the twin rotor choppers are a lot easier to fly than the single rotor-tail rotor choppers. Guessing purely down to the blade configuration but just wondered if you know exactly why.
Great Helicopter Fred, I have had one of those for about a year now, and my kids have crashed it hundreds of times and it's still going strong. The USB cable would not work for me....maybe my usb ports don't put out enough?
How well does it handle itself outside? I'm deciding between the outdoors one for 10 pounds more or this little one which id like to be able to take out to the garden once in a while when its not windy.
Do you have any info on the X-01 ?? I can find tons of info on the cheaper S107 model but I cannot find anything about my X-01. It looks very similar but has some more switches on the controller. A 1 and 2 switch for beginner/advanced settings and has a switch to turn off the running light. which rocks for keeping battery life. It was 49.99 and came in an aluminum case and has one of each replacement blade. I figured out it's from syma but cannot find anything else.
Thank you fredhart. HB to you. Just got me a blue one for mother's day for myself, from Ama. First heli. It is very sensitive. I have a heavy hand. My USB light hard to see. Thank you again for the vid. bearded one, or two. Well there's another bearded plane guy.
Hi, my son dropped his in a puddle of water. It starting working on its own when switched off. Is there any hope to repair it ? should I dismantle it and wipe it with alcohol ?
Holy cow dude! You look like Leonard Hofstadter from the show Big Bang theory! HAHAHA Any way very nice video of the copter, I just ordered one as well to add to my fleet! Thanks for the review!
I would be totally est-antic to get one of those for my Bday. Im a kid all the way. I had a hard time using the AirHog and this looks like the one I should get.
WarMachine Igneel charge using usb cable. But after done charge wait the betery coll down about 5-10 minute. And also after play. wait the batery cool down before recharge it
Turn on from the opposite side. I saw a couple of people comment that they paid 20 to 30 dollars for one, I paid 40 dollars for mine, but it's well worth it. I'd say it's the best money can buy!
hey fred, thanks for the funny nerdy video. you are funny. very cool toy I got on amazon for $18. my advice to newbies is just practice for the 7 minute battery life (45 min charge time) and do nothing but left thumbstick up and down and try to keep it at 5 or 6 feet. then use right stick and very easy. oh, and don't chase your dogs with it. :-)
Hey, cool video. Recenly I got a SYMA S110G Metal Series Mini Heli Copter. I'm looking for something a bit better and bigger! The S110G is about the size of your palm, I'm looking for something a bit bigger! Any suggestions. Price Range : - $50
I have a 3d rc helicopter but does someone know how to mame a flip onse I try a d I destriy the blades but I fixit after the inly ting I do with it now is just fly it araund
My s107 only flyies for a minute. change the battery twice, with new batteries 150 maybe 3min and now 240 now the heli does not even have enough power to fly. Why can I not get any flying time???? I want to fly this baby whats wrong
I think the blues are more expensive than the reds and yellows because they are genuine and the reds and yellows are fakes, my red one is extremely unstable and does not hover well, it veers to the right immediately after it leaves the ground.
mine is on its way i will see when it come i am more a in door flyer it can make it hard with all the bed cabboards and tables in the way the bigest i have is eflite 400

Happy birthday, Fred. I will have to look into one of these, it seems like there is a lot of fun to be had.
Wow, that's a hell of an up draft over that trash can. LOL!
Great gift, lots of fun... Happy Birthday, early!
I got mine today!! It's red and flies AMAZING!!!!! I love these helicopters!!
These little guys are super dope. I had one a few years back and ended up losing it when I moved. Just bought another today. Super excited. $15-23 on amazon depending on color and seller.
I got one of these for Alex last year for Christmas as a stocking stuffer. They are pretty fragile and it did not last long with him at the helm :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRED! Matt from Minnesota (nice flyingby the way)
Awesome, that one looks very well made, thanks for the vid

Thank you for recording this video, I will be ordering one very soon.
How long does the charge on the helicopter last?
I love this heli, I've been messing with my blue one for about 2 days and have had a blast! Me any my brother try and knock each other out of the skies by warring with down drafts :). It's absolutely amazing fun to have down draft wars. Great video, keep 'em coming. You've got my sub. ^_^

Happy Birthday Fred!
can you leave the charger in as long as you without any issues, or can it only stay plugged in for a short amount of time?
Probably amazon, or online in general.
Is it possible to use 2 copters in one room?
I just bought two and not sure if we will be able to use both at the same time?
I have the Syma S107 and it wants to fly in circles. This makes it hard for precision flight. Am I doing something wrong?
UNbelievable! I was given a red one 3 weeks ago!!! They are addictive.
Could it support the weight of a GoPro camera?
Where is the best place to buy rc helis??
are you able to play with it for a long time
Do you have any info on the X-01 ?? I can find tons of info on the cheaper S107 model but I cannot find anything about my X-01. It looks very similar but has some more switches on the controller. A 1 and 2 switch for beginner/advanced settings and has a switch to turn off the running light. which rocks for keeping battery life.

Great vid, you seem a really nice guy, got mine delivered a couple of days ago, can't wait to try it out
This one will probably be the best to start out with.
@fredhart can you fly the helicopter with your i pod touch
Got one of my own it happens to be a blue one just like yours. Kinda getting a bit better at flying it right now.
Hey Fred gr8 vid ! Could you plz tell us how the copter held up long term ? thanks a bunch..
if the charger does not fit all the way in helicopter to charge what do i do
how long will it run till it dies?
Has anyone had a problem on any heli where the wind makes the back prop move and sometimes it automatically goes forward/back
Thank you fredhart. HB to you. Just got me a blue one for mother's day for myself, from Ama. First heli. It is very sensitive. I have a heavy hand. My USB light hard to see. Thank you again for the vid. bearded one, or two. Well there's another bearded plane guy.
Hi, my son dropped his in a puddle of water. It starting working on its own when switched off. Is there any hope to repair it ? should I dismantle it and wipe it with alcohol ?
I've got a gas-powered Align T-Rex 600 professional helicopter that I've put $3000 into, and I must agree, these little things are awesome!
Great review! I'm getting one as we speak. It's on sale for $18.99!!
Thanks for the Military / Veteran shout out btw :)
Holy cow dude! You look like Leonard Hofstadter from the show Big Bang theory! HAHAHA
Any way very nice video of the copter, I just ordered one as well to add to my fleet! Thanks for the review!
man i have some air hogs they are very hard to controll im gonna have to look into one of these and happy birthday
Very nice! I've always wanted an RC helicopter... Maybe I should finally fulfill my childhood dreams and buy this one. =P
Great demo. These are great beginner helis and excellent value for the money indeed. Now, they go for about $15.
4:35 OMG digitalrev music whats it called and where do you get it from
I would be totally est-antic to get one of those for my Bday. Im a kid all the way. I had a hard time using the AirHog and this looks like the one I should get.
hey wat charging it should be on or off because I don't know what to do because the instruction is all in Chinese
WarMachine Igneel charge using usb cable. But after done charge wait the betery coll down about 5-10 minute. And also after play. wait the batery cool down before recharge it
Hi, I have read that this heli fly for about 5-6 minutes, but I want to know the battery of the controller how many fly cicle can do? Ty
00DirectorsCut00 Sorry, I did not keep track of it.
ok thank you. By the way I'd like to know if you have to replace (or recharge) the controller battery often
I love this helicopter thank you for the review ordered it today :D
Happy Birthday !!
whats the name of the 2nd song??
my aunt bought me and my brother one of these each, their really fun!
I think the wife is wanting to buy me one. Is there one that is the best for the buck? How easy is it to master flying these micros?
Is this a good starter helicopter
yes
Fast forwarded through the vid. Is it indoor and outdoor?
Michael Gray indoor only
that looks so awesome! i just ordered one for my dad :P
Turn on from the opposite side. I saw a couple of people comment that they paid 20 to 30 dollars for one, I paid 40 dollars for mine, but it's well worth it. I'd say it's the best money can buy!
song?
these are amazingly controllable. It needs a POWERED usb port to charge.
Boys and their toys! Neat deal! Have fun.
hey fred, thanks for the funny nerdy video. you are funny. very cool toy I got on amazon for $18. my advice to newbies is just practice for the 7 minute battery life (45 min charge time) and do nothing but left thumbstick up and down and try to keep it at 5 or 6 feet. then use right stick and very easy. oh, and don't chase your dogs with it. :-)
that things awesome. I bought a fullsize one I can never use cause its to windy outside to get good at it. I gonna have to get me one of these.
Hey !! You are great!! Im buying one right now! Thanks for video!!
Use the trim adjustment then...
hmmm..... have been looking to get one of those
Nice video ... got one for somebody as a present (had NO instructions?) and just found the inbuilt charger thanks to you :-)
@jacksettle SAME I GOT THE 109G
Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm buying one off eBay right now! £13.99 in carbon Black, yeahh!
Hey, cool video. Recenly I got a SYMA S110G Metal Series Mini Heli Copter. I'm looking for something a bit better and bigger! The S110G is about the size of your palm, I'm looking for something a bit bigger! Any suggestions.
Price Range : - $50
Great video and great helicopter
You have such of a cute voice ^_^
Thanks for the video, very nice!
Wow this may not probably be the best helicopter but i think it is by its stability
I have a 3d rc helicopter but does someone know how to mame a flip onse I try a d I destriy the blades but I fixit after the inly ting I do with it now is just fly it araund
My s107 only flyies for a minute. change the battery twice, with new batteries 150 maybe 3min and now 240 now the heli does not even have enough power to fly. Why can I not get any flying time???? I want to fly this baby whats wrong
Nice Happy Birthday
Radio controlled has become a figure of speech, you knew what he meant.
V912 Large 4CH Single Blade RC Helicopter
I cant fint how to fly slow because it goes 63 mph
awesome :D gonna buy one right now. btw what's the name of the song at 4:33?
There, that music matched :-)
controller has 2 channels not 3 so you can only fly 2 copters at a time :)
@markybyeah awesome!!
yellow one has a longer battery
great review!
its a really good helicopter , good value, i crash it all the time, it hasn't broke yet!
I think the blues are more expensive than the reds and yellows because they are genuine and the reds and yellows are fakes, my red one is extremely unstable and does not hover well, it veers to the right immediately after it leaves the ground.
Excelente! Yo lo tengo y veo que tiene muchas posibilidades!
Great! I have one and I can see it can do many things!
mine is on its way i will see when it come i am more a in door flyer it can make it hard with all the bed cabboards and tables in the way the bigest i have is eflite 400
