This is a must for the s107! makes hovering a snap. do watch out if you let your friends use it though cuz if they crash it the props will still b running until you kill the throttle
My transmitted didn't come with a throttle return spring, but I wanted to open it up and glue the right plastic gimbal to the actual switch to eliminate the rattle. Your video helped me remove the rear cable cover without breaking anything. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Good lookin out on posting this. I just ordered the s107g and prefer the NON spring load action., as I also own a Spektrum dx6i for my Blade helis and the left stick is non spring loaded. Will be using this mod the instant my s109g shows up in the mail!
Soo glad I found this video a spring in the throttle is a stupid idea on a heli mine should be here in the morning and this Is the first thing I will be doing whilst the heli is charging via USB :) happy flying people
@tabbyman2009 The heli and all only cost $24 shipped. You'll spend more grief, time, and possibly money dealing with any warranty issue than you would just buying another one.
Do NOT put forward pitch onto the heli wthout the tail rotor as the motors disintegrate in a second or two, causing huge battery drain when moving forward. A good suggestion is to superglue the tail rotor on (it'll come off easily enough if you break a tail rotor blade, so don't worry)
I recently got a S107-G model and it didn't have a throttle return spring...I guess they changed the model a little. Also the pc board on mine says s107r5
@tadasauce I just ordered one of these and the new model doesn't have a visible spring inside the remote case. My model S 107 has the accelerator stick protruding from a small metal enclosure with the spring mounted inside somewhere. Does anyone know if the new models can be modified without breaking anything?
heres the weird thing, i bought a syma s107 from amazon.com , and it came genuine, green LED inside when running, black blades no metal, and it came with the controller without springs wtf, is it fake? the box it came with says syma i think its genuine but i didnt knew syma would change the controller to a non spring what u guys think reply thx
I don't think leaving the spring inside the controller is a great idea... it could swing, or disconnect, and short something on the board out (seeing as how the spring is metal). Just something to consider, I'll be removing mine from the controller...

I didn't do this at first, and now that I've gotten used to the spring, I actually like it better than no spring. :)
Thanx alot. I ordered the syma s107 and didn't like to hear it had a spring!

I removed the spring... But put it back on cuz I think it's easier to control when there's a spring.
i finally finished it. it took way longer for me to do it than you to do it

Neat job! Well done!
