Our description
The Syma S107G has been THE classic first helicopter for over a decade – an roughly 22 cm coaxial heli (two counter-rotating rotors) with gyro stabilisation. The coaxial layout makes it extremely stable: let go of the stick and it holds position – so you learn to hover in minutes, unlike difficult collective-pitch helis. It comes ready to fly (RTF) with a built-in 3.7 V LiPo (USB charging, ~6–8 min flight time). Important and honest: it is clearly toy-grade – control is by infrared, so indoor only (it doesn't work outdoors, in sun or wind), and the transmitter needs AA cells. In return it is nearly indestructible (metal inner frame) and dirt cheap. On the follow-up-cost traffic light what matters most: the battery is built in, charging is via USB, and the only real wear parts are the rotor blades – they snap in hard crashes but are very cheap and available everywhere (a spare tail rotor is even included). No upgrade pressure. If you want to dip into heli flying risk-free, you can't go wrong; if you want to fly „properly", you later move up to a hobby-grade heli.
