Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Syma S107G


SymaS107Gbestrchelicopterreviews

Syma S107G

The Syma S107G RC Helicopter is a ready-to-fly, 3-channel helicopter that provides everything a beginning remote control aviation enthusiast will need. The S107G features metal construction that allows it to withstand multiple crashes – an important consideration since this heli is for indoor use only.  The S107G also features a built-in gyro for greater control that is another benefit for beginners. The heli has a flight range of approximately 30 feet.5 stars ratedalt

Manufacturer:

The Syma S107G is manufactured by Syma Toys Industrial Co., Ltd. The Chinese-based company strives to manufacture products that showcase “Technological Innovation & People First”. The S107G is an example of the original products that feature innovative engineering.

 Key Features:

  • An Ideal Indoor Heli:  weighing in at just two pounds, the S107G is ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, even dorm rooms. Some reviewers have commented that it can be used outdoors when there’s no wind, but according to Syma that is not its intended use.
  • Ready-to-Fly Right From the Box: This heli is 100% factory-assembled. In addition to the helicopter itself, you get a USB cable, adapter, remote control, and operating instructions.
  • Co-Axial Design: the two rotors are stacked on top of each other and spin in opposite directions creating a very smooth, stable flight that is great for beginners.
  • Infrared Remote Control with 3 Channels: the S107G uses digital technology with an infrared remote control that operates on three channels. You can fly the heli in more than one direction. The remote control requires six AA batteries, so be sure to buy extra batteries if purchasing the heli as a gift.
  • Two Ways to Recharge: the S107G has a battery that can be recharged using the proprietary USB cable that comes with the heli. You can also charge the S107G from your remote control. The battery takes approximately 50-60 minutes to recharge.
  • Standard Flight Time: on a full charge, the S107G will give you about 5-7 minutes of flight time which is considered standard for a helicopter of this type.

•    Moves Six Ways: you can fly the heli up or down, left or right, and forward or backward.

•    Special Effects: you can turn on and off the flashing lights as well as activate a searching light for spectacular effects in a dimly lit room.

Conclusion:

The Syma S107G is proof that a great idea is often imitated, but never duplicated. So to protect themselves against “look-alike” products, Syma developed a brand new 2012 color palette (green, white, and blue) to showcase their signature design. It’s one more reason why the Syma S107G dominates the industry as the most popular rc helicopter two years in a row.

We say one more reason because the main reason why hobbyists love the S107G is because it’s a fun, easy-to-fly indoor helicopter that is exceptionally durable and offers tremendous value. The helicopter includes a built-in gyro, a 3.7v 150 Lithium Ion battery, and metal parts that help it withstand the accidental, and not so accidental, crashes.

Most reviewers have had nothing but good things to say about the S107G. However a few have commented that the heli started performing erratically after only a few days. This may be because the product was not a “true Syma”, but it’s hard to say. You always want to be sure you can authenticate your rc helicopter purchase.5 star ratedalt

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Blade 120 SR BNF


Blade120SRBNFrchelicopterreviews

Blade 120 SR BNF

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Blade 120 SR BNF Overview:

The Blade 120 Single-Rotor BNF is a fixed pitch helicopter that gives hobbyists of all ages a first step into the world, and speed, of single rotor flight. With its sub-micro size, the Blade 120 has the best features of Blade helicopter design while adding just enough weight to make it durable enough to fly outdoors in a light breeze. The Bind-N-Fly design requires an aircraft transmitter equipped with a Spektrum 2.4 GHz DSM2-compatible receiver. Check CUSTOMER reviewsalt

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Blade 120 SR BNF Key Features:

  • Can Be Flown Indoors or Outdoors: the sub-micro design is small enough to fly indoors, but because it’s nearly 4 times heavier than other sub-micro helicopters it can be used outdoors, preferably in winds less than 6 mph.
  • Ready-to-Fly Right From the Box: This heli is 100% factory-assembled and has been test flown.
  • Factory-Installed Control Unit: the Blade 120 has a 5-in-1 control unit. A 2.4 GHz DSM2-compatible receiver, motor speed controls, fully proportional servos, mixer, and gyro are combined on a single circuit board. This integrated, cost-effective design allows the heli to be both powerful and lightweight.
  • Adjustable Swash Sensitivity: one of the many reasons that users choose this fixed pitch heli is to make the transition from coaxial to single rotor flight. When you take the Blade 120 out of its box, it is set up for a softer response that makes it easy to learn. In fact, it’s highly recommended that you use the default program to learn the basics. Once you’re ready for some more aggressive flying, you can simply switch the cyclic control links to the second set of ball links on the inner swatch.
  • Specialized Bell-Hiller Rotor: this feature gives the Blade 120 stability that will feel familiar to users who are stepping up from coaxial helis along with the extra speed and agility of a single rotor design.
  • Built-to-Last Durability Without the Added Weight: one key to user satisfaction is a heli that can handle a crash. The Blade 120 has a main shaft and tail boom that are made from carbon fiber which means it has the durability to take a tumble while still being lightweight.
  • Bind-N-Fly Design – this heli requires you to own a DSM2 aircraft transmitter that can be bound to the battery receiver.
  • 4-Channel Transmitter: the fully functional controls on the Blade 120 let you maneuver the heli up and down, pitch forward or back, full left and right and yaw left and right.

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Blade 120 SR BNF Conclusion:

The Blade 120 heli is an ideal challenge for a user making the switch from beginner to advanced. The heli includes a 1S 500mAh Li-Po battery and a single-cell, variable rate Li-Po charger in addition to an AC power supply. One thing to remember about this helicopter is that it is a Bind-N-Fly model so you will need your own Spektrum DSM2 aircraft transmitter.

While this single-rotor heli is designed for indoor and outdoor use, some users have found that they were limited as to what they could do with the heli if flying it indoors. However, if this is your first fixed pitch heli, you’ll be able to get through most of the basic maneuvers indoors before you’ll outgrow your space.

The batteries take between 30-45 minutes to recharge after they’ve been used for five minutes. So if you’re planning on flying the heli for a sustained length of time, many users recommend purchasing multiple batteries.

Overall, the Blade 120 provides a great introduction into fixed pitch, single-rotor flight. Yet, it still has the power that hobby enthusiasts will enjoy when they’re looking for a small, “front yard” heli to substitute for their larger helis. Check CUSTOMER reviewsalt

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – AR.Drone Quadricopter Overview

The Parrott AR.Drone is a high-performance quadricopter with a built-in WiFi system that provides two amazing benefits for your enjoyment. For starters, this is the first quadricopter that can be controlled by your favorite Apple handheld devices such as an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone. The AR.Drone is also compatible with the Android operating system which opens up its incredible ease of use to smartphones. As an added benefit, the WiFi system lets you use the AR.Drone as part of a network letting you invite other players to join you in battle.Color may varyalt

Manufacturer

Parrot is an international company that is headquartered in Paris, France. They are a global leader in creating high-quality, user friendly wireless devices that enhance everyday life, including the most extensive range of hands-free systems for cars. They also offer many exclusive products including the AR.Drone which combines the world of rc helicopters with wireless apps that make it easy to use.

Key Features

  • Built-In WiFi Network  – you can control the AR. Drone with your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or with an Android device (OS 2.2 or higher).
  • Requires the AR.Freeflight App – to control the AR.Drone through your Apple device or smartphone, you’ll need to download this free piloting app which is available from the iTunes App Store or Android Market.
  • Two Embedded Cameras – the standard view gives you a live video feed from outside the cockpit window. The app also includes a switch that lets you activate the second camera which gives you a look from below the quadricopter.
  • Autopilot Mode– Autopilot mode lets you take off and land easily and also keeps the quadricopter in a stationary flight if you lose connection with your device for whatever reason.
  • The First Augmented Reality Video Game – use the built-in WiFi network to access A.R. Pursuit which brings augmented reality into your gaming experience. In addition to enhancing the performance of the built-in gyroscope and accelerometer, you can pretend to fire machine guns or launch missiles as you chase other users in a virtual world.

Additional Features

  • Use Indoors or Outdoors – The AR.Drone ships with a removable hull to help protect the quadricopter during indoor flying. A sticker is provided for the exterior hull to make your quadricopter easily identifiable during outdoor battles.

  • Flies Between 7-12 Minutes on a Charge – the AR.Drone takes about 90 minutes to reach a full charge and will allows a fairly standard flight time of 7-12 minutes. The manufacturer lists a twelve minute flight time. Reviewers have noticed shorter flight times.

Conclusion

The Parrot AR.Drone is a premium RC plane that takes ease of use to a new level. The built-in WiFi network lets you control the quadricopter via your iPad, IPhone or IPod Touch as well as Android devices with operating system 2.2 or higher.

You also have access to multiple gaming applications such as A.R. Pursuit and A.R. Flying Ace that let you simulate battles with other users.

Although this is a plane that can be used by beginners, this is really meant for advanced users who will be able to make best use of the premium features. Also, the sleek aerodynamic design is great, but not designed to withstand even moderate impact crashes so this isn’t a plane that you want to learn on.

The plane requires a 3-cell lithium polymer battery (you’ll want to have extras on hand) and features 4 x 15W electric brushless motors.Best price herealt

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Helizone Combat Fighter


helizonecombatfighterrchelicopterreview

helizone combat fighter

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Helizone Combat Fighter Overview

The Helizone Combat Fighter RC Heli lives up to its name. It does all the movements of other 3-channel helicopters  (flies left or right, up or down, and forward or backward) but the Combat Fighter adds to your enjoyment with missile launching capabilities and a speed control button that allows quick acceleration. This remote control helicopter offers advanced features for serious hobbyists, but is still easy enough for a beginner to use. 17% Discount

Best RC Helicopter Reviews – Helizone Combat Fighter Key Features:

  • Fly Up to Three Helis At One Time: three selectable bands (frequencies) A, B, or C give you the ability to fly up to three Combat Fighters at the same time.
  • It Can Fire Missiles: for more realistic play, the Combat Figher has two slots (on the left and right) that hold missiles (included). Use the left or right button on the controller to fire. Missiles have a range of 6-8 feet.
  • 100% Factory-Assembled: once you take it out of the box, you’re ready to fly. You will need to add AA batteries (not included) to the remote control. The Combat Fighter comes complete with fully assembled helicopter, remote control transmitter, 6 missile launchers, bonus tail blade and USB charge cord.
  • Built-In Gyroscope System: provides the stable feel and precise control that users will appreciate.
  • Turbo Mode: one of the unique features of this remote control helicopter is the ability to accelerate. Just the touch of a button allows the Combat Fighter to quickly elude its challengers.
  • Durable Design: with a heli like this, accidents are an expectation. The Combat Fighter is a quality mini helicopter that is light enough to fly indoors but with a smart design that is rugged enough to stand up to multiple crashes.

The Helizone Combat Fighter RC Helicopter is a superb mini helicopter with some features that go beyond the basics. For starters, it has removable missiles that can be launched from the console. To help you get used to this feature, paper tank targets are included.

Another compelling feature for experienced users is the Turbo Mode option that increases the speed of the heli with the push of a button.

Because of these features, beginners may find the Combat Fighter takes some getting used to. However, this can still be an ideal first helicopter. A built-in Gyroscope provides a stable feel, so it won’t take a beginner long to master the basics. And that’s when they’ll get  the extra challenge of using the advanced features. So, in a way, it’s like giving them two helicopters in one.

For best results, you’ll want to fly the Combat Figher indoors. Many users have said that it will only work outside when it’s very calm.

The transmitter can operate on three frequencies, so it’s possible to have multiple Combat Fighter flying at the same time.

The batteries require a 30-minute charge after they’ve been used for ten minutes. And it’s easy, and inexpensive, to order additional balance bars or main blades which are always good to have around. 17% Discount

Best Rc Helicopter Reviews – Syma S108G


bestremotecontrolhelicopterSYMAS108Greview

SYMA S108G

Best Rc Helicopter Reviews – Syma S108G overview

The SYMA S108G CH Infrared Mini Radio Controlled Marine Cobra Helicopter Gyro is one of the newest mini helicopters offered by SYMA. This micro helicopter uses an electric co-axial motor and is a perfect choice both for beginner and advanced helicopter hobbyist. Aside from its micro size, the SYMA S108G 3 looks very realistic especially with its mini spot light located in the front. Among the co-axial micro helicopters, the S108G 3 is one of the latest models ever introduced by SYMA in the market. Best price at AMA

Best Rc Helicopter Reviews – Syma S108G Features

  • Control: Up/down, left/ right,forward/backward
  • SYMA S108G uses a rechargeable 3.7 volts 150 MaH li – poly battery with charging time of approximately thirty five to forty five minutes using the inclusive USB charger
  • Full flying time is about six to eight minutes max and a controlling distance of up to ten meters.

Every product from SYMA comes with a USB charger and with a whole range of different colors to choose from, it is to choose a specific design that matches your taste. Most micro helicopters use dual blade and SYMA also offers spare parts for those who want to upgrade their micro helicopters. The S108G CH Infrared Mini Radio Controlled Marine Cobra Helicopter Gyro is very durable and highly powerful as with other SYMA micro helicopters and is also easily modified using SYMA specific spare parts.

The S108G can be bought at around $18.45 which is basically a good deal for micro helicopters with advanced flying system. The S108G is comparable to its predecessor, the S109 apache which is also easy to fly and control as with the Marine Cobra Helicopter. The design may vary but this offers the same performance just like with other models including the S107. You can easily fly this around the room and still have the complete control of the helicopter.

On the other hand, the Marine Cobra from SYMA is still a completely different micro helicopter. Unlike the S107G, the vertical control of S108 is not spring loaded. In addition to that, the SYMA S108G is also stronger and forceful when it comes to control response and power and for those who haven’t handled a powerful micro computer, there will be some difficulty in managing the controls for the first time. Some users find this quite bothersome because the SYMA S108G has a much lighter plastic body frame compared to the S107G with its alloy metal frame.

Best Rc Helicopter Reviews – Syma S108G Conclusion

Hovering the SYMA S108G is also a lot easier since its collective or vertical is not spring loaded. You can easily set the controls down and still the Marine Cobra will remain flying. You must also be careful about its connection because sometimes, the S108G loses reception and you can easily crash the micro helicopter. When flying over rocky surface, you must ensure that you are in full range of the infrared reception. Always remember that this one is made with plastic frame so avoid crashing it on very hard surfaces. Best price at AMA

Best Toy Helicopter Reviews – Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship


avatarrchelicopter

Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship

Best Toy Helicopter Reviews – Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship Overview

The Avatar RDDA Scorpion Gunship is an advanced micro helicopter toy intended for children six years old and above because of potential choking hazards due to small parts. The Scorpion micro helicopter features a fully functional rotating blade with firing missiles can seat one pilot which is not inclusive of the packaging. The Scorpion Gunship is basically a VTOL Gunship that is used both for air support and close in fire support for the RDA mining operation. The RDA Scorpion Gunship is inclusive of two firing projectiles that will allow users to actually knockout obstacles along the way. The integrated rotating gun barrels on both sides make it look more realistic and kids will certainly have an enjoyable play time with its quadruple spinning blades. Best Price at AMA

Best Toy Helicopter Reviews – Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship Features

The gunship’s cockpit is equipped with a plastic glass windshield with an interior section that easily folds up to allow action figures to easily get inside. This is also comparable to a snap on assembly kit making it a lot easier to assemble the entire toy together. Both rotating guns can also pivot up to 360 degrees giving it a very realistic feel. Even adults will certainly appreciate the craftsmanship of this toy. However, the front wings where the guns are located needs adult assistance during assembly. It is quite difficult to attach and without extra care, there is always the possibility of over bending the toy part.

If you are not too keen on assembling multiple parts, you may think twice about buying this for your kids. The gunship requires assembly and even with its instructional manual, you will need a lot of patience and tolerance to assemble it all together and turn it into one powerful aircraft. The cockpit, even though well detailed, is a bit too small and its scale is not appropriate for most action figures in the market. If you want to put a pilot on it, you need to find the right size unless Mattel introduces add-on toys specifically for Avatar gunships.

The good thing about Avatar RDDA Scorpion Gunship as well as other Mattel toys is its careful consideration for details. The scorpion gunship is an exact replica of the same gunship in the Avatar movie. All in all, the Scorpion Gunship is a pretty cool toy and can easily capture the imagination of children six years and above. The two projectiles and gun barrels actually fire and is also great feature not to be discounted with. The quadruple spinning blades make the Scorpion Gunship very authentic including the articulated cockpit of the ship.

Best Toy Helicopter Reviews – Avatar RDA Scorpion Gunship  Conclusion

This toy can be bought for about $15.95 and has 5 star rating out of five stars. This is a fair rate considering the craftsmanship of the toy. When it comes to detail, Mattel really did a good job with the RDA gunship and it is really the perfect imitation of the gunship in the movie. For adults who love to collect cool toys, this one is definitely set for the display cabinet. Best Price at AMA
