mini RC helicopters

I have one too! It's an Air Hogs RC helicopter, I can't see a serial # anywhere, only other thing is has is SPIN MASTER LTD. It's SO fun, a pain in the arse to get it to spin without the chassis spinning too...But, it's still pretty fun ;)
 





Now that I have both the 6020-1 and the S107. I would definitely recommend the S107.
I think it turns tighter, the trim is more accurate, and it goes backward/forward better than the 6020-1.
Thanks for the recommendation :beer:

Hi / hola!
I've decided to give indoor-electric-RC-Helis a try, but I don't want to buy just any $30 garbage. So of course, I started to do my homework. Knowing you guys are freaks with more than just photons, I figured I'd search LPF for RC heli threads and voila, here I be
;)

I've been eyeballing Walkeras and in particular, the 4#3B* which is a 4ch mini. Helipal sells it for $149 incl. everything, RTF, new gen. 2.4GHz transmitter, etc.

*EDIT - and the flybar-less successor, the V100D01...

But seeing as it would be my first, perhaps I should be a bit more reasonable & start off with your s107 first...

Finally, it's been a while since this thread was updated and perhaps there are newer & better helis on the market, so I thought I'd ask first before placing the order.

EDIT - Someone recommended the Z008 in the $30 coax arena... any thoughts?

Last but certainly not least:
coax vs. single fixed-pitched vs. single collective pitch (CP): can anyone direct me to a thread that sums up the pros & cons of these blade designs please?

Thx :beer:


EDIT 2.0
Ok... being quite familiar with the delays incurred during the Chinese New Year I made my choices and the V100D01 is already on it's way :D Just to make sure I don't kill it right off the bat I also ordered a 3ch $30 job, but just to keep it interesting I went with a very small "mini"; this one is just 11.5cm (4.5") long but is still a 3CH w/Gyro heli ;) It's a Swift Mini-X, also purchased @Helipal. The biggest downside is the limited power supply but then again, it's just to warm before getting around to the V100D01 :8

Not a cheap transaction, but then again, I only got clothes for Xmas so I figured I'd treat myself to something a little more fun :san:

I love my S107. It flies really well. Haven't tried the Blade CX3 yet. It looks hefty. :D
 
I'll let you know what its like, but looking at the reviews, its a good one.

Jay, it would figure that your the resident expert :D Inverted... woah! The Aligns are all 6ch CP, if I'm not mistaken... . I'll be satisfied if I can keep my 4ch BFL (FP) from crashing on its maiden voyage :o Well, it should arrive next week & I've been reading up on tweaking tactics...

Lol, I just realized that this is the same 6025-1 you guys were talking about at the very beginning of this tread... :yabbem:

I probably should have gone with your s107, but I was attracted by the small size of the 6025-1. Here's a Wiki on it, in case you're (still) interested...
 
im into mini RC helis,
i currently have an S100, Micro twister pro, and some generic chinese ones :p.
on my wishlist is an Air wolf 3ch (remember the tv show airwolf? hehe)
i just had to order a new rotor assembly to fix my micro twister pro

Well it took like forever and to add insult to injury, it got flagged by customs (adding a whopping $70 to the total), but I finally got 'em :)




The V100D01 is a serious little beast; I did a check on all functions (throttle, aileron, elevator and rudder) and could barely hold on to it during the testing :bowdown: This is not the sort of heli you can test out in your living room and it was too windy today so I'll have to wait a bit and/or take it to the office where we have a massive lobby (only after-hours testing of course :p ).








As for the 6025-1, it could have been a fun little toy for the living room except the tail rotor only spins when I give it a flick... which makes it rather hard (not to mention a bit boring) to fly the thing without elevators... :gun:



One thing, though, for all you engineering gurus out here in LPF; what's the point of adding 6, yes six LEDs to a Heli that only has a 60mAh power source??? Argh...
 
I got the Blade CX3 , wasnt stable at all..juddering like hell, was about to send it back but my friend wanted to buy it so i flogged it to him, i also got the Syma S107 , that is an amazing bit of kit for the price, seemingly indestructable.

I bought SH-6025-1 , and a few flights into its life it had a light impact and the top rotor coupling broke....very dissapointed, but while it worked it was amazing.

 
I have a custom upgraded lama v4 with carbon indestructable rotors ect.... Pretty good to fly but perfect balance is impossible with this stuff.
