Hey JB,Have you checked the top of the inner shaft and the connection to the top blade grip assembly?That is a weak place and an easy place to shear a plastic pin.You'll see what I mean when you take the blades off and take off the grip assembly.
Because my instructions gave me no indication of terminology, it helped me to go to a site that has spare parts and find out the names of different parts.Maybe didn't help me fix it but I could then describe what I thought I was looking at.One aside to this reply.My first 107 is used for spare parts but don't give up too soon.You need the experience for other planes to come and it gets easier every time you have to teardown for repair.
Have fun.
Good point Lew

"the heli is moving forward whenever i try to hover this"- A simple solution (hopefully). It may be a fore/aft balance issue. Try movng the battery aft towards the rotor shafts and check to see where that little weight is on the front light area.
"both rotors spin, but the top rotor soon becomes out of balance and impacts the balance bar…or just begins to gyrate and become so unstable as not to be flyable."-
"after a small crash I was unable to take off again. Hovers a few inches then pitches forward with top rotors hitting balace bar/bottom rotors"-
Less than effective interactions with rotors and balance bars and ceilings and/or hard immovable objects can lead to those symptoms described. It sounds like a failure in the top blade connectors and/or mainshaft connector (One really does not need to ask why I am posting about this .). I have lost count of all those and to , , and flight moment experiences, but I am getting really good at the dissassembly and reassembly of these little heli's without losing any parts .
@CPD Guess as you are ordering new main shaft,try something crazy-check which way you think it is bent,and by hand gently bend the other,it is hollow like so be gentle but forceful if you understand,nothing to lose,have fixed a few with brute force-let me know

Mine does that to a certain degree.
I'm ordering a new main shaft, to see if mine's bent--hit the ceiling constantly...
When mine's doing that for whatever reason, I like to turn it on in reverse, or if it's going backward, foreward. Usually, it fixes it temporarilly. Still no fix with it's left draw, though...
That's what I hate- it drifts backward and left, plus now has the opening symptoms of tbe...
I am having the same problem as you Razzer. After a small crash I was unable to take off again. Hovers a few inches then pitches forward with top rotors hitting balace bar/bottom rotors. Everything is tight. I hope someone can help. Don't have much time on this bird and has flown like a champ until tonight.

I have, perhaps, a somewhat similar issue. I have two Syma S107G's...and I am unable to hover either of them. They both worked great and were completely stable until one of my three sons "accidently" hit the top of the helis' while they were flying.
Since then, both rotors spin, but the top rotor soon becomes out of balance and impacts the balance bar...or just begins to gyrate and become so unstable as not to be flyable.
Do you have any suggestions about this condition? When the helis' are at rest it appears to me that the top blade assembly is not stable (e.g. that the blades are extremely cocked).
Does this mean that the central shaft has been bent...or that the assembly that holds the blades to the shaft is damaged. I see no real evidence of damage but I am not sure what to look for. And I would really appreciate any advice that this forum could give regarding how to diagnose and fix instability of this type.
Thanks in advance!

Good point Ionosphere80 another idea is it spinning one way,if so try trim button on remote,depending how bad the crash was there are a few things it could be,first check all forum posts,there are some great Syma guys offering great advice,keep us posted we will all try to help you.

I bought my Syma S107G from amazon, well since I am rookie in this at beginning I didn’t notice that I have some difficulties with hovering S107, then I had small crash and sine then still hovering with my Syma is impossible as well to do any precision flight because the helicopter is all the time fighting on one side. I try to put some load on opposite side to minimize the flight on one side it works but I still have same problem and it is very hard to do the adjustment. Is there any way I can adjust something on this small helicopter and get steady hovering and steady flight.
Please help!!!
