11 years later they are still making an selling the same helicopter. I guess that means it's good, as they wouldn't still making it if it wasn't. I just bought the 107G, which has a gyro in it, I've learned since then that's another one with self take off and hold hover mode.

This is only the second and best mini helicopter I ever had! It's so easy to fly, and so stable! I love the metal chassis construction, and I wanted the yellow one, but they were sold out of that color, so I settled for red, my second favorite color!

this is the best upgrade I have seen so far what they do not say what you gain in fly time you loss some of it in charge time .most of upgrades double the charge time so you got to wait longer.

I've also done this upgrade 350MAh on the new Syma S36, but I've soldered directly on the board, it's much simpler to do that on the S36 tough. What I've found is that if you keep the original battery position the helicopter keeps going forward no matter what you do, practically you loose the third channel. The solution to this is to mount the battery vertically (90 degrees relative to the body of the helicopter) so you keep all that extra mass closer to the center of gravity. I've also inversed the bottom skids so a little more weight is now distributed to the tail. I have a fully functional, stable S36 now that flyes for 14 minutes!

@OlimpiuCristianMihai 9 жыл бұрын

***** I haven't done anything special really, it just works, maybe your battery does't have the discharge needed to run the helicopter... mine is a Gens Ace 350mAh 3.7V 30C (burst 60C) 1S1P Lipo at 9.4g. If your battery has the capacity, but a lower discharge rate, maybe it can't provide enough power? Mine is hovering for 30s max if it's out of power!

@OlimpiuCristianMihai 9 жыл бұрын

Well It's probably common sense that the motors have to work harder to lift all that extra weight, but really I don't think that it wouldn't work at stock specifications... You know, a lot of batteries just don't work as specified on the label and you could just got a really bad one. Try to get a high 30C discharge high quality one, go for the 350Mah, it works very well! I'll post a video this week to show how it works. You could do a quick test, run the helicopter without the plastic conopy (cage, whatever) and see if it improves things a little... if it still doesn't work, it's a dud, as the plastic is pretty heavy (let's say you'll get close to stock weight)!

I have a Yorkie and he LOVES to chase my heli's around the living room. He ignores it when it's 4 or 5 feet off the ground but when I fly it low to the ground he starts like barking at it and lunging towards it. If I fly it towards him it's astonishing how quickly he can maneuver to stay out of the heli's way. Great fun indeed... I'll have to try this mod. Oh... the cat... he doesn't like the chopper at ALL. ;-)

@amdfanatyk 2 жыл бұрын

I did battery upgrade on my Syma S5H from 100 mAh to 250 mAh and it performs worse than on stock 100 mAh. Probably because this helicopter flies on narrow voltage range something between 3.9V and 4.2V. Larger capacity doesn't increase voltage drop time from 4.2V to below 4V but it introduces few extra grams so overall helicopter flies shorter and charges longer.

a little tip my s107g seem like it was losing a bit of lift first I thought it was the battery but I have the s111g and its lighter but I realised when I landed the s111g there was more after spin on the propellers and shaft and gears as the s107g is open to the elements of dust and what ever I used a vacume then sprayed a light bit of wd 40 spray oil been careful of the electrics a mere haze of the lubricant and it was like new.Also look out for hair getting caught in propeller shaft

@RajendraVermaa 6 жыл бұрын

It is not right to wire them in parallel.....after all the batteries cannot be identical and the stronger or higher voltage battery will discharge into the other. However notwithstanding this, practically I suppose it is OK just to connect them in parallel just before flying.

@knightrider9509 5 жыл бұрын

@@RajendraVermaa even if they discharge into the other, eventually they will increase the day time. Or do you disagree? Again if you are charging both in parallel then they will both be dukky charged and will not discharge into then other. What do you say? I think parallel battery at CG is great idea

@p5y4n1d3 11 жыл бұрын

great vid, just a piece of advice though, soldering the connector directly to the battery can be risky, many contain thin plastic membranes inside, it's much easier to just cut the wire about an inch up and solder wire to wire with a couple little pieces of heat-shrink and voila! no risk of battery fires lol
