If you have an s107 remote you are not using, take off the knobs and put them on the s800 remote. It will help a lot.

If it's too small, use an extra s107 remote to make a case to put the s800 in.

If you are handy with a solder iron, add a potentiometer to control the power of the throttle. How is here

Thanks for commenting CPD. I can understand why people would think I hate Mode 4. It’s true that I even called Syma’s Customer Service and asked them why they use Mode 4. They told me that their marketing research showed it was in their best interest to go with Mode. 4. I admit that I lost this which is the best mode argument fair and square. From now on I will try to keep my comments to the  Here you can talk on other Brands Of Helis Apart from Syma part of the forum.

I’m not an expert but I can vouch for XHeli.com. I also like that they offer produces from other companies as well. They give a nice comparison. I happen to have bought a S800G and a F106 both being four channel.  I have to give it to the F106 for being in Mode 2. I understand Syma’s reason for Mode 4 and all. It’s just that the rest of the RC Heli world uses Mode 2 transmitters. Come on Syma make your transmitters with a way to switch between Mode 4 and Mode 2. That’s the smart play anyway.

Quick question--what QC tag is on your remotes? Mine has #1, but what quality control guy did yours? Can we maybe pinpoint it to which ones have a bad remote?

I'll betcha what happened was they were trying to shove as many out the door for the christmas rush, but ended up having a bad batch of boards for the remotes, and the QC guys were told to just do a quick "make sure it turns on and that's it" test.

What do you guys think?

Well, my first s800g's on the charger as I write, and I hope there isn't a bad batch from amazon, but as far as fakes, I doubt it. There aren't as many out there yet, and even at that, there's soo many little things that can't be faked. The remote has Syma loud n proud on it, there's metal flake paint on the canopy that a faker wouldn't try to copy because it would cost too much, and the type of printing on the box is very expensive, and not something that would be faked.

We'll see if they come out with fakes, but I doubt it will happen within this year. Heck, they don't even fake the blue s107g's because syma doesn't sell enough of them to warrent faking. Same to a certain extent with the red s107's. It's just the yellows and rarely the reds that you hear about being faked.

I don't think that info has been attained like with the 107. Not near as popular and not enough time has gone by. There appears to be some floating around, just because they have different canopy's and such but that doesn't mean the components are different. I have not seen anything on Amazon that would appear to be a fake. Which store on Amazon did you buy from?
