    Does anyone know if this is really better than the Syma S107? If so, I'm not sure what all the neg's are for. Just last month the same rep posted a deal for the S107 for only $2.50 less than this price and it was well received on here. It was the same format title too, which I admit isn't the clearest. Are there better deals out there for this helicopter or other comparable one's? Or are these products not any good? The Syma S107 seemed to get good comments only a month ago.

      You can use your tracking number track your order here:http://www.17track.net/IndexEn.html

      You can also contact us via Email:service@lightake.com

      Usually order shipping to AU need 2 weeks. But On labours day,China post office has 3 days off,so this order may a bit slower than usual.

      If you do not recieve your order 35 days later,we can refund.

    I have one of these and two WITHOUT the side hover prop thingies.
    They fly pretty well and are definitely worth it for $22 if you are in to this sort of thing.
    Great time killer if you have a girlfriend/wife who takes ages to get ready…

      Rickas on 13/05/2011 - 13:28

      I would say yes because I'm in the middle of a dispute with Lightake and I should get the outcome by tomorrow. I bought a Syma S107 and paid for EMS (express) over the free standard post. It's been well over two weeks so obviously that's not express (being 3-5 days as started on their site).

      With that said, a lot of people have received their item with no issues. I will make another purchase (probably this plane) once I get the money back from the other one.

      alukado on 13/05/2011 - 19:38

      scrimshaw on 13/05/2011 - 15:36

      The blades aren't sharp enough to cut. But if you hit anything the chopper basically falls to the ground since the rotor needs to spin at fairly high speeds to keep aloft.

      If that's a genuine question, then I think for babies/small children avoid using it near them. Even if the blades aren't going to cut anybody, they could still cause cause some real trouble if hitting the eye.

      $6.72 (US) for 6 rechargeable at the same shop. They look the same as ones from other HK shops that I've found work well. I ordered them with this helicopter as I'm getting a bit short of batteries.

          The last one I got from hong kong had a usb cable that plugs into the side of the helicopter. The description says it has one so just use a computer or one of those usb adaptors. These sort of helicopters may also have a special cable you can buy separately to charge it from the controller but I'm not sure.

      How long did yours last for? Or did you do extra rough flying into walls? I have a 3 channel I got from a similar shop. Worked for months before letting an inexperienced child fly it. They hit the roof went oops and decided to stop the accelerator. Whacked to the floor. Still worked except it would not turn. (a resoldered wire fixed that and it lives again)

      Depends on the price. The controller wont be needing them replaced for a long long time, however since you get rechargeable cheap from the same place I'm getting those so I can reuse them once this is broken.

      A two channel controls up/down and left/right. It always goes forwards. A third channel adds turn forward/back. Fourth channel adds "sidestep" left/right EDITED: To fix fact
