Syma Forum

Hi to fellow flyers. Tony from Toowoomba Australia.

I'm stoked with these great little models stability and price.

I went looking for toys, for my sons two boys at xmas time. Walked into the shop and saw the SYMA heli Range sitting there and all my R/C memories came back to me and said "buy it stupid, the guys and you are gunna love it".. So I purchased 3 S105g and pulled my 105g out as soon as I got home. The model fly's like a charm and in no time I'm flying like an expert, he! hew! and it's amazing how much damage/punishment they take and still fly straight.

The next day with brain in flight mode, I went to the shop and bought the S033G I had my eye on first. Got it home ripped it out of the box and had an exciting time with that outside, but that's an other story and I'm happy to keep learning on the 105 to improve my heli flying. Still happy with the damage they can take, even the big one..

The boys and I had great fun with them over the holidays and brought us closer.

Went to the shop again to fetch the S006G and I love it. Need a bigger flat for it to fly properly inside, but when you do fly it inside without prop wash, it's so predictable and easy to fly as-well. It looks so pretty in flight and you just get a little prop noise of the bigger ones. I call this one Sexy and Stable..9 out of 10.

Still nuts about flight and flying I got onto the net and ordered 2 S107G and they came yesterday. Oh ! boy, am I in heaven. Wow the 107's are way better than the 105. Lift off & landings are so much easier, the throttle response is smoother and overall the best one for my situation inside. 9.5 out of 10.
Can't wait to battery mod the 107.

As the 105 and 107 assembly look the same, this problem may show up in the 107's eventually.??

After many flights, (lost count, but many fun hours) my 105 is not well, she started to fly funny two days ago with a twitching of the back-end like a willy wag tail in the hover. This got worse over the next two flights and eventually the flight times dropped off. I had about 2 minute normal flight and then it would flounder around near the ground for the rest. I thought it was the battery at first or the moutherboard mucking up, then noticed the back motor was twisting in the frame mount every time I pushed the throttle. I fixed the twisting motor and it still did the willy wag, but a bit better. Held 105 in hand with full throttle for 2 mins and the front motor I could put my lips on it (cockpit off) the back motor was way to hot to do that.
So my asumption is that, the hot motor was sucking battery amp power = bad flight air times, the gyro (wagging) was compansating for the hot worn motor.?? The motors look the same as the 107's with a black top motor in the front and a white top motor in rear.   Awaiting parts for verification on this problem. I Love a good post mortam..!
 
A long time flyer of fixed wing models. Took up R/C flying in my 20's until the marriage finished that..at 40(goodbye farm, I loved you too)! 58 now and still a kid with a model.
 
 I can fly inside with my S107G, S105G, S006G and my S033G outside anytime I want. And no old cow is gunna get up me while doing it. I'm happy just to fly again and inside. Love the whole range of SYMA so far, good models.

P.S I can help anyone with straighting the S033G inner and outer shafts.
Over..
