Review: ... have ever owned and not only is it the best one by far - This is the third helicopter that I have ever owned and not only is it the best one by far, it is also the cheapest one. My first two were Micropter brand sold at walgreen's for $19.99. When I bought my first one I was sold after learning how to fly it, even though in comparison to the Syma 108, at about 3/4 the size, the Micropter was junk. No tail propeller, meaning no back and forth motion. Forward momentum was constant with throttle. Regardless it was my first venture into the world of r/c helicopters and I loved it. It lasted a few months before the battery died and wouldn't charge, so I went back to Walgreen's and got another one. (for 20 bucks i wasn't even upset about 3 month life span with many crashes). The second one stopped flying straight after 3 days and I threw it in the trash before I thought better of it. A few months later (last week) I saw some Syma product's here on desertcart and at 14.99 and 18.99 respectively, I purchased the 108 cobra and the 109 apache. I purchased 2 because after my personal experience with r/c choppers and subsequently reading some bad reviews for even these syma choppers, i decided it was worth the money to get 2 and up my chances of getting at least 1 chopper with no issues. When my package arrived (free shipping that came a day before schedule) I pulled the 109 out first for a test flight. I was smiling from ear to ear for that first minute of flight. Hover capability, forward AND backward control separate from throttle, and perfect control and balance after a little trimming. (keep in mind any air flow in room will move chopper around slightly). The smile faded from my face after a couple 45 minute charge sessions and i realized the battery was not powerful enough to keep the helicopter in the air for more than 3 minutes. With a slight smirk at my foresight, I reluctantly pulled out the 108 cobra. Without charging it, I immediately set it to flight. Just like the apache, It flew and controlled flawlessly. The only difference is this had a spring loaded throttle, whereas the apache had a free floating throttle. My previous Walgreen's choppers had made me accustomed to a spring loaded throttle so this change was not necessarily bad, though I can certainly see the benefit of a free throttle as well. Also, the 108 cobra needs much less space to land due to the different landing gear. To my surprise and relief, the battery kept the chopper airborne for 10 minutes before it slowly descended. After charging fully I get 12-16 mins of flight time, depending on how much i land and take off again. I was used to about 7 minutes with my walgreens choppers so this extra flight time was a dream to me. I have since returned the apache to desertcart and have continued to smile in glee as I walk my cobra all around the house. This little guy is all that I wanted and more, and at 14.99 it will surely soon have some sibling choppers to fly around with. Well worth the hassle of buying 2 to get a good one. COULDN'T BE HAPPIER. P.S keep in mind that these are toys with tiny motors, THAT FLY. With all the moving parts, one must understand that they will not always come perfect and and will certainly not stay perfect forever without regular maintenance. Try not to blame Syma too much for their shortcomings (faulty arrivals, shorts life/battery spans), and remember they are giving us TOYS that FLY for UNDER $20. Keep up the good work SYMA! Also, the return of my 109 apache was smooth and seamless with desertcart. Less than 24 hours after I sent a return request to desertcart, a ups man was at my front door with a shipping label to pick up my helicopter, which I had put right back in the shipping box I got it in. It took 3 days for my refund. Fast service all around.
Review: Great R/C Helicopter - I've just recently gotten into the mini RC helicopter world, but man, these things are a blast. Yes, they are only good for 4-10 minutes, then you have to recharge, but those 4-10 are a fun. I am quite amazed at how easy they are to control, how sturdy they seem to be and how great they look for under $30. I now have two of the copters and I'll give you my impressions. First, they both are Syma, which from reading other reviews and experience, seem to be the best or near best for this entry level (less than $30) item. My brother bought a different brand and model from Sears, it is almost impossible to fly. It needs constant trim adjustments, so anything beyond just up and down is tough to do. Based on that experience and my experience with the 2 Syma models I purchased, I'd be very hesitant to recommend anything other than a Syma. The first helicopter I bought based on reviews mostly, but also talking with some friends who had purchased rc helicopters, was the Syma S108G. It is modeled after a Marine Cobra and looks excellent, a very cool looking helicopter, IMO. The remote has 3 channels (A, B, C). I call this out, because my second purchase, the Syma S102G (modeled after an Army Blackhawk), has 2 only channels (A, B). Not sure why there is a difference, since other than that, the remotes appear exactly the same. I have a sneaking suspicion that the quality control varies widely among these "cheap" rc's so I wouldn't be shocked to purchase another S102G and end up with a 3 channel remote (again, just speculation on my part). For me, having only 2 channels might be an issue, since my daughter (12) and father (65+) have also been bitten by the mini-helicopter bug (so that will be 3 of us flying these things around at times), so that 2 channel remote may become an issue. On to comparing the Syma S108G & Syma S102G. First, there is not a huge difference between the two and I suspect that the differences I`ve noticed have to do with quality control and may not hold true to every S102G & S108G, but here's what I've noticed. The S102G seems to be more stable. The body is more "boxy" and might weigh just a bit more, maybe that comes into play? TheS108G seems slightly more responsive, but that also means it can get out of control pretty quick if you aren't real smooth on the remote. The S108G feels like it is faster, but we're talking barely. The S102G is easier to land in a tight spot or more accurately, as the S108G tends to "float" or rock back and forth when you go from flying forward to hovering. I like the look of the S108G better, but that just a personal preference, as both look great. I had both for a little while now and both have hit the wall, floor, table, etc. pretty hard with no signs of damage. Just for reference, my 12 yr old daughter can fly these just as well as I can, my 10 yr old has more trouble. You do have to be able to make very subtle changes and adjustments when you are flying to keep from shooting into the ceiling or wall. The S102G lasts a bit longer per charge (about 8-9 minutes) than the S108G (4-6 minutes), but I suspect that this is more "luck of the draw" than anything else. If I had to only pick one of the two, I'd probably go with the S102G, but it's a real close call. One note when I compared it to the Sears purchase, the Syma have a spring loaded throttle stick, so when you let off, they return to "off", the Sear model has a free floating throttle, so it stays wherever you put it. I think I like that feature, and might see if there is a Syma model that has it. The Sears model also has the trim control on the top right of the remote and you use your index finger to adjust it, which is much easier than the single dial stick in the center of the remote like the two Syma models. Again, it seems as though the Sears was better designed than the Syma, but it was still almost impossible to fly. So even with what appear to be better features on the Sears helicopter, my next purchase will still be a Syma. Hope this review helps you in your search, I do plan to buy another Syma (maybe the Coast Guard looking model), I'm curious to see how it compares.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun heli with only minor flaws... but great for the price
*by A***R on January 3, 2012*

This is a fun little heli. For $25 or less, you can't go wrong. I only have a couple beefs with it: 1. Sometimes the heli will just move on its own, even if you are only depressing the throttle for hover. I know this sounds weird, but I experienced this a lot. Not sure if it was just the central air conditioning in my house kicking air around and therefore moving the heli or what. But it makes the heli slightly unpredictable which will lead to crashes. 2. Forward/Backward movement started out great. Over a couple days however, it grew much, much slower. I looked at the rear rotor and realized that it slid down to the very bottom of the pin. I'm not sure, but it may have been rubbing on the tail of the heli and therefore not spinning as fast as it should have been. I would pull it back up, but it didn't seem to change much. I will say I was pleasantly surprised at the durability of this little heli. I crashed it probably 100+ times in the first week or so and it didn't seem to phase the heli at all. After about a week however, one of the rear wings on the tail came off. Not a big deal. Little superglue had it looking as good as new. Not long after that, one of the missile clusters came off. Once again, not something that superglue couldn't fix. The good part is that the important and moving parts (ie. blades, rotors, etc) all remained in tact. I even accidentally knocked over a large framed photo (10 X 17), which fell right on top of the heli, and it didn't brake anything. Much to my surprise. It is pretty easy to fly. After a couple tries, I could fly it through a number of different obstacles without any problems. Beware however that when the battery starts dying, it can become unpredictable. (Especially the altitude) Overall I would recommend this heli. I have had to send two back however. The first one, the remote did not work, and the second one just stopped responding the remote. No worries. I will be ordering another one soon.
