  • Nice helicopter, bad charger

    posted by Changes on 14:48:13 G12T 01/12/2008 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: - Very stable in flight, does not move around on its own.
    - Very light and small! I wasn't expecting it to be so tiny.
    - Forward flight is fast! Much faster than any other tail-rotor 3ch helicopter I've seen.
    - The price is incredible.
    - Looks sleek.

    Cons: - The LiPo cell gets overcharged! Measuring the voltage with a known good multimeter right after the transmitter signaled charge over gave a reading of 4.25V! This is *very* bad for the cell. Coupled with the very fast charging rate, I wouldn't expect it to survive more than a few dozen cycles, if that.
    - Battery life isn't stellar. The LiPo is the same used in the 2ch helicopters, but here it has to drive two main motors, so it's significantly more stressed. Expect five to eight minutes according to your flying style.
    - Trimming changes take a few seconds to be applied; if you don't know this you're likely to overtrim it and have it spin in the other direction.
    - Even if you trim according to this delay, it has a tendency to spin a bit when throttle is changed. I find it easier to trim it once and then compensate with the stick instead of trimming it all the time.
    - The rotor blades don't pivot. They look quite resistant (I haven't managed to break or deform them yet despite a few crashes), but the risk of smashing them would be reduced with a pivoting joint.

    Other: The helicopter is good, but the charging system is not.
    I'm happy I bought it and I'll have many hours of fun with it, but I'm a DIYer and have no problems with soldering and charging externally. Anyone who doesn't know one side of a soldering iron from the other (i.e. most people) wouldn't know about the battery issue and would end up with a helicopter that no longer works properly after a short while.

    Pros: Is my first micro heli and i search in whole DX for a heli than is well made , with good material and apearance, and i think i found.
    I like the main gears that is protected by the frame. the trimming is good and he hoover very well, after a few clicks. The rotor blades are very flexible and resistent.
    The controller is well made and precise.
    The battery is lipo 3.7v 65ma, as was enough power to fly about 5-7 minutes. the charge is very fast, about 10-15 minutes. used 6 AA ni-mh 2500ma in the controller and works very well.

    Cons: I don´t much like the skids, they are very thin an may bend on heavy crashes. i do some hard crashes from 2, 3 meters but they don´t broke.
    The bicolor led on the controller could be of another color, it is difficult to distinguish when the battery is charging.

    Other: I wasn't expecting it to be so tiny, but it very precise and worth every cent.

    Pros: best looking 3 ch EVEr ..This is a certain
    Best el cheapo TX i seen with a 3 ch heli .
    The TX is small fun and looks modern unlike other 3 ch helis i bought
    The littel heli is supper fast and very agile
    NOT for the complete novice
    I say get the
    http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14128
    This is really docile and easy to fly
    While this one here is very fast and agile ...
    I have flown many and this is by far the fastest ..

    Cons: the TXinbuild charger is USELESS And will kill your lipo battery fast !!
    Like the other reviewer said and hes spot on I meassures as well ....The tx overcharges the Lipo killing it very fast (10 -20 charges)
    sO I CHARGE THE LIPO BATTERY MANUAL WITH MY PROPER CHARGER .

    Other: I am an RC heli addict and believe me when i say to you this is a class heli if it wasn't for the tx and it s faulty charging i would import these to sell to newbies
    Because this can really be flown ..in all directions with purpose ..

  • Nice heli but not the best one

    posted by DaniloBr on 09:38:13 G5T 12/05/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: -This heli is very easy to control, any person who has never flew before can control it.
    - Really beautiful, nice built quality.
    - It charges very quickly
    - It has the faster rear / forward flight I have ever seen on theses mini 3ch helis

    Cons: - It is harder turn it to right than left, even trimming controls during flight.
    - Skids are a bit fragile

    Other: It is a nice heli if you want to starting flying. Good price too.

    Pros: Este heli es muy fácil de controlar, cualquier persona que tenga nunca lo voló antes de control de la poder. - Calidad construida realmente hermosa, agradable. - Carga muy rápidamente - Tiene el vuelo posterior/delantero más rápido que he visto nunca en los mini helis 3ch de las tesis

    Cons: ¡el cargador de TXinbuild es INÚTIL y matará su batería del lipo rápidamente!! Como el otro revisor dijo y los meassures I del punto de los hes encendido también….El tx cobra la matanza de Lipo excesivamente que muy rápido (10 -20 cargas) YO ENCARGA tan EL MANUAL de la BATERÍA de LIPO DE MI CARGADOR APROPIADO.

    Other: I am an RC heli addict and believe me when i say to you this is a class heli if it wasn't for the tx and it s faulty charging i would import these to sell to newbies

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: The big pros is the build quality. This helicopter can fly for hours and crash many times but there is nothing damaged. That's nice cause some helicopters are really instabile and are damaged when they're falling once on the ground. I've got it now a week or 2 and the helicopter isn't damaged at all.

    Cons: The big con is that you need much batteries. You cannot use rechargeable batteries, and that's a pity cause this helicopter is using six batteries and you have to buy new batteries many times, that makes the helicopter expensiver.

    Other: It's a nice helicopter for this price and take it if you like. Buy it, the price is nice and try it!

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: It is an agile and fast helicopter. The overall product quality is good. Blades have screws holding them to the main pole, so they can be bent when you hit a wall, thus making it very resistant (different from the picture!). I removed the transparent plastic from the tail, so it can fly faster forward. Battery time is good, I could fly it for 9 minutes. Recharge can be as fast as 10min (reduced fly time). Remote control batteries can last several flights, typically holding for a whole day.

    Cons: The remote control has a screw which has to be removed to replace the batteries, thus making it inconvenient. The batteries compartment is not that good: sometimes if you shake the remote control, it will turn off / turn on. The bottom stick at the end of the tail is very fragile, and broke at the very first flights. No big issue there, since it can still fly perfectly.

    Other: Recommended, as it actually does what it is supposed to. This is NOT a beginner model, not only because it has 3-CH, but it is also very responsive to the controls. It takes several flights to get in the hang of it. After you learn, you can even land it over a desk with no problem. Excellent price too.

  • Great Little Helicopter

    posted by Gredrock on 10:42:53 G9T 24/09/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: This Helicopter is a awsome!, it is a Syma Vision S010, is very resistant to shock, flies in incredible shape, has a beautiful design, have fine details of construction, the remote control is soft and comfortable.

    Cons: I find don´t particulars against, have the same against as all helicpters Micro, the battery lasts 5 minutes, and directit iscomplex until you learn to fly.

    Other: And most importantly, if the helicopter is going to impact slows the rotor is preferable for it fall down than crash in high-velocity impact.

  • genious chopper

    posted by ggiiggiiggii on 17:44:51 G12T 28/12/2009 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: first of all, this is a great chopper, it dosen't take take a long time to recharge and it is easy too fly. You can alsow crash as much as you want, but it seems impossible to destroy, eaven my dad has made it fall/fly/crash down the staircase without any damage.

    Cons: takes som time to get to know the controls, just take it easy in the beginning. And one major thing, the controler is a bit fragile, DO NOT drop it to the floor, I did and it broke, but luckily I was able to repair it, otherwise, no cons

    Other: have fun :)

    posted by jinseeto on 21:09:29 G1T 11/01/2010 certificated customer

    Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)

    Pros: It flys very well as it is balanced nicely and the controls are pretty good once you have adjusted the trims on the control.
    Build quality of the heli is pretty good as well.
    Very good value for this price, Highly recommended

    Cons: Battery cover on remote is quite loose and can make the battery comes loose by tapping it hard. can be resolved by putting in a foam inside cover for tighter fit.

    Other: Very good value for this price, Highly recommended
