Status: offline 		Syma's finally taken their first step into 4 channel helicopters with the Syma S800G and I have to say I'm impressed.
http://lightake.com/detail.do/sku.Syma_S800G_4_Channel_Remote_Control_RC_Helicopter_with_Gyro_White-51484
Pros- great small helicopter, responsive servos, strong metal body, extra canopy and rotors, swash plate, great for beginners, great low price, gyro stabilized, USB charger.
Cons-Mode 4 controlled instead of mode 2, bright forward facing light is annoying, infra red controlled.

Video Review and Flight


The S800 G is a classic coaxial helicopter that uses 2 servos connected to a swash plate for control.
It uses a new simple elegant servo and it looks like they can even be adjusted to make the helicopter more agile.

The swash plate controls both forward reverse motion as well as left right motion,
Speeding up both rotors controls thrust up and down
And speeding up a single set of rotors makes it spin left or right.

It’s a very sturdy crash resistant helicopter and it’s great for beginners, it even comes with an extra set of rotors and a screw driver. Just remember if you ever need to change your rotors don’t loose the little washers that fit inside each rotor because it doesn’t come with an extra set.

It comes with a black and a white canopy and a black and a white set of rotors.
The canopy is easy to switch out and it’s made of thick durable plastic with a nice metallic shine to it.

The body is mostly made of a sturdy metal with a few pieces of plastic, the overall look is sleek and shiny and the swash plate and servos make it a great learning tool for new pilots.

It’s very crash resistant and a great first helicopter

It’s flight time is about 7 to 10 minutes and it’s charge time is about 50 minutes.

It can be charged from the transmitter but I recommend using the supplied USB charger.

It uses a standard 3.7 volt 150 Milliamp battery.

The helicopter has low voltage protection built in so when the battery starts to run low the helicopter lands itself to let you know it’s time to recharge.

It’s controlled by a tiny 4 channel infra red transmitter that doubles as a charger.

The controls are very responsive and the heli can be maneuvered with a lot of precision.

But when it comes to 4 channel transmitters not all are created equally.

The version I’m flying came with a mode 4 transmitter which I’m not a fan of.
Mode 4 refers to the control layout.
Mode 4 uses the left transmitter stick to control up down and left right motion and it uses the right transmitter stick to control forward reverse and spin

Usually when I fly 4 channel helicopters I like to use a mode 2 transmitter.
Mode 2 transmitters use the left stick for up down and spin and the right stick to control forward reverse and left right motion.

If you order one try to get a mode 2 transmitter if you can.

I think it’s a very well built helicopter at a low cost,
it is infra red controlled so your range is limited and its forward facing light is a little bright but it’s still a very well built inexpensive 4 channel helicopter that’s great for beginners and experienced pilots alike, if you have a chance you should check it out.
