Short Video Swann Micro - Syma s107

[M@!]

I made a quick video of my Swann Micro helicopter (s107 clone) I picked up a few days ago from Fry's for $20. Thought it might be helpful for people thinking of getting one to see the performance. I think for the price it's a blast. I did lighten it up quite a bit. Removed tail equipment, removed up metal pieces and replaced lower metal with plastics. Easy mods and much better performance and longer flight times.

Sequence 01

Now I just need to decide what copter to buy next!

They're fun. Wait until you start doing obstacle courses through the house...

Next? I would go with an eflite SR120

Great idea for the obstacle course! I started flying through the cat's scratching post last night.

The only problem I am having with now is I keep whacking the flybar against the top rotor causing it drop out the sky. Glad these things are so durable even without the metal supports.

I purchased Phoenix from a member on here and it is supposed to arrive today. I can wait to get some stick time on the simulator and move up to a bigger bird.
