The Review of the Syma S301G

I will put the specifications of the Syma S301G at the bottom of this post.

This review has been created by Bernie known as Supernova on our Syma 107 forum as a caring moderator that puts a lot of effort and time for zero money,  he is a great asset for us all-Thank you Buddy!!

The Good Points Of the S301G Syma RC Helicopter

Good points.

1/ The instructions are not very well translated but the parts list is very helpful and with part numbers.This makes it easy to work with on the schematic drawing.

2/ For the United Kingdom and Australia you will need an adapter plug, this is not a bad thing because with the adapter plug you get a fuse built in.

3/ The controls are very good and easy to use this makes for enjoyable flying.

4/ The overall looks are very impressive it comes in 3 designs Red Blue & Yellow.

5/ The power is great!! because of the big motors and large gear wheels this makes carrying a Key fob camera a simple task.

6/ The Flying time is better than mentioned in the instructions at 9m 32.8 secs, far better than the advertised 7-8 minutes in the instructions.

Bad points.

1/ Instructions translation could be better, with a mention of the removal of the Canopy mounting

2/ Charge time is a bit long at 100 mins but considering the charger, this in not really a fault.

3/ The novice to expert tail motor button on the transmitter made no noticeable difference to the speed forward or reverse that I could detect when flying.

4/ The drift to the rear, could be a problem with this particular model I had, but I would prefer to have the drift to forward motion, but this can be sorted with a bit of bluetak to the nose or the keychain camera to change the center of gravity.

5/ Very disappointing in a wind over 2MPH.. As the video shows, ok when sheltered but above the bush line the wind will take it away, this could be improved by more power to the tail rotor or better balance and no rear drift.  This could be achieved with a camera mounted in the correct balance place. But the wind is not the place for this Helicopter much more at home in a big room or hall.

 

Here is Bernie's Video on the Syma S301G

Bernie preaches the same thing I reckon, coaxial helicopters just hate any wind, as I said on the Syma S031G Review , better to fly at home or better still in a big hall.All in all a great looking heli with heaps of power.

Yes they will fly outside but just remember not in any wind.

The Syma S301G is still great to fly at home.

Syma S800G Review

This is a quick up date of how I am going flying the Syma S107 Remote Helicopter as of  12/14/2010

I am unhappy-My best little girl in fact my first Syma S107 that got me hooked has just died a slow death.

My Syma Battery Advice

 

She took off had some great spins and started to descend after 2 minutes of flying to the floor- No puff left to rise up-She looked really sad just spinning on the floor: I was devastated-This had been with me for at least 2 months and harassed my dog who was happy to see my Syma die at my feet-So many hours of flying-so much fun-What should I do- Dig a hole and bury my greatest friend -NO NEVER

I gently took the canopy off my mate to find a swollen weeping battery!! I held the tears back- Was this my fault??

After some deep meditation and talking to my Syma mates on forums I had asked too much from here, especially her power force the battery-

After every flight I charged her-Then another flight-Did I  ever consider her battery-No never-Did I ever let the battery cool down before charging- NEVER!!

Ok let me get real here-This great heli will keep flying but you have to have respect for her power force ("May The Force Be With You" some BS)

As posted before on battery care -Realize this is really crucial for any remote helicopter or plane is battery care- They must cool down between charging-At least 15 minutes-Hard shit I know, however face the facts. Your trusted Syma S107 will die if you do not care for her.

Happiness is abound- Implant a new power force

As you can tell quiet mad on Remote Toys but the biggest problem we have is not letting the battery cool down before recharging-This is for any remote RC product.

12/15/2010 My Syma S107 is awaiting a new battery- Need to feel those blades swishing air in my face as she spins around me-Sensible up date soon.

03/23/ Good news, fitted new battery and flying my original Syma S107G again: Since then have bought 4 more with out a remote from Focalprice - yes mad I know but they give me so much fun. I buy them for friends on their birthday and presents for last Christmas-Going to approach my local hospital to see if can give some to the children ward-Will see if companies like Focalprice  might help on the cost, as really not flushed with spare cash at the moment-Will keep you guys posted on my crazy idea!!

08/01/   Yes I am still cranking all Syma Helicopters, my latest is the Syma S800G 4 channel heli that you can drift right or left. I did a review here really a neat bird to fly.As said on review could be a bit of competition to the Syma S107g. Come on guys get a Syma heli.. you will crank some huge fun.

Above all leave some crazy comments so I know not totally alone out there Lol
