mini RC helicopters

That's not the gyro, it's TBE (toilet bowl effect). Check the links on the flybar, they are those things like this:

o-----o

That go from the blades to the flybars. Take them out and put them in again, making sure both are in the right place. In the s107, you can force them to go futher than they should, make sure that's no the case.

Thanks, but it didn't seem to fix it.
Is the flybar supposed to have a pin (or metal piece) going through the tiny hole at the top of the blades?
(see attached pic of the hole)

 

[Ash]

Well. I guess I answered my own question. :thinking:
I put a small piece of a paperclip into the hole (see pic), and now it's 90% better.
It still swirls a little bit (see vid). :cryyy:

yeah, obviously, there should be a metal axis there. change the clip for another that suits the hole better maybe

I received my two S107 on Friday that I got on eBay...

SYMA S107 Metal 3Ch RC Mini Helicopter +USB+Gyroscop on eBay.ca (item 170489159625 end time 23-May-10 21:19:00 EDT)

They do fly very stable...
The added control that I noticed is the dual speed tail rotor..
Makes it very easy to advance and back up precisely and slowly...

I want mine, NOW !!!!

@Jerry: will you agree with me that they are much better than all the other ones?
@phoenix: you know, try to play with lasers in the meanwhile

I crashed mine several times, it also crashed into the 12feet high ceiling twice and droped to the floor, I lost a screw, the metall suports are twisted, the rotor blades are battered and so on... but I´m still able to fly it quite stable. I want to practise with it till it is dead and then I´m going to buy this awesome machine again

 

[Deleted member 8382]

same here. Mine has died already (the tail rotor just died). I already ordered a new one. Official parts can be found for cheap with free shipping here:

Yes... I agree with you...
Run time before failure still needs to be tested...

I've had to replace 2 batteries in a 2 6020-1 because the USB
charger overcharged the batteries and they puffed up..
The voltage was still 4.2 volts (no load) but they didn't have
enough current for lift off..

I'm going to try and design a 3.7v li-po charger just for my
small helicopters... with voltage detect... timer... and end of
charge beeper..

I want the project sources

Hi, You can also buy RC Helicopter from Sourcingmap:

A fixed pitch 3CH heli? I would not even think in flying that at home, what a suicide.

 

[lasersbee]

Hi, You can also buy RC Helicopter from Sourcingmap:

That helicopter is a 2channel...:cryyy:

You get:-

1) rotor speed control (Up/Down
2) axis control (spin right/spin left
3) no pitch or yaw cobtrol (forward/back left/right)
4) no Li-Po battery (Ni-HM)
5) No GYRO
6) TOO expensive for what it is...

yeah, but it's a fixed pitch heli, much more realistic, and look at how big it is. It's worth it's price if you're looking for a scale model, but for a good flyer go for the s107
