RE: Syma S107 thread.
I ordered three S107G's for my two boys at christmas. They absolutely love these helicopters and have no previous heli experience (some limited RC plane experience). Two out of three helis have flown flawlessly but one seems to perform less impressively and also shuts down completely if you tick something with the rotor tip, even just slightly. It is a total power down and the green onboard light goes off too. It takes an on-off switch reset to get it to run again.
I dont think its worth trying to send back for a refund/exchange but was hoping maybe someone had a simple fix I could try?
Now I need to figure out the next upgrade for them. This heli is almost too easy to fly :-)

RE: Syma S107 thread.
It looks like S107 won the CopterWars 2010.
At the beginning of the year, San Huan's great 6020 NON-gyro was already nibbling the crumbs around 4-channel coax's feet. The larger LAMA-style copters were wearing the crown from last year, but had made the mistake of a bit too much time at the dinner table, not enough in the gym. The Land of Four-In-One could barely sit up straight in its over-stuffed chair to notice the throng of crumb-nibblers below, and skipped the effort entirely.
Then came the word, GYRO. Suddenly, not having that designation in an online ad was a marketing mistake- indeed a few unscrupulous types skipped stocking the actual items, but sold them anyway, supplanting a non-gyro in the ship-out. For a short while, this was even accepted as a mistake by some customers who were lacking further knowledge. All of a sudden, we were all saying "Dash-one" after the "Sixty-twenty" part.
At the moment, this silliness takes place around the Rev3/Rev5 Syma S107's, huh?
And just about as fast, somebody said: "Hey, look at this 'S107" thing".
BOOM.
Pity the soul with pallets full of formerly-desirable San Huan 6020-1's. Can't get the intended selling price THERE anymore!
