Syma S107
It's been three years since I last reviewed a product. Nowadays the low-cost RC helicopter market is saturated with similar-looking products sold under countless lesser-known brand names, and most of them don't appeal to my senses enough to try them out. With the S 107-G, though, I had an opportunity to take a free test flight when I wasn't even thinking about buying it, and literally from the moment it got in the air, I was completely and utterly sold. More on flying it later, though.
Outwardly, the S 107-G has the styling of a higher-end, pro-grade sport with a sleek forward fuselage and exposed main chassis. The chassis (frame & guts) is actually made of metal, as is the tail boom, which is a very classy upgrade that allows everything to be assembled more consistently than flexible plastic, and moving parts can be held more securely for less vibration. The main rotors are made of a very rigid, fiber-reinforced plastic, and they're freely hinged in the middle to allow them to safely give way a bit in the event of a crash.
