Buyer Critiques

The Syma S026 Chinook Transport is a fine tiny indoor helicopter. This model came with a dedicated charger that easily recharges the battery and permits for a flight time in excess of 5 minutes.
The manage has extra characteristics from the typical three channel models that enable the operator to adjust forward and reverse flight and will hover in one place without having spinning or yawing. I've located that in my little space making use of the power for elevation and the attitude controls for forward or reverse angles with the yaw manage dial enables me to navigate with precision. It's a exceptional experience and pretty impressive to land on a "designated heli-port" with pecision.
Now for the downer, so to speak. The initially unit I received had a defective board and was returned to the seller. The replacement unit was received with a li-poly battery that had reached the limits of its life, it definietly had been a demo unit but I've no complaints as I was pleased to have a functioning model.
This could have been tragic but I had acquired some li-poly batteries for replacment parts for other Syma models and I had a new S026 battery out there. Installation was a pickle for the reason that the units haven't been developed for straightforward battery replacement but that will in all probability be addressed in the next models. I will be replacing the "stock" battery with a 400mah battery soon and I anticipate that it will boost my air time to over fifteen minutes, but ten minutes that can be had with the stock battery is awesome.
I'll take a moment to discuss the battery replacement. The helicopter is disassembled by removing eight screws that join the two halfs of the fuselage. As soon as the fuselage is removed access to the battery, motors, and control board is achieved. It is doable to acquire spare motors, control boards and batteries for this unit but the wires of every component are fine and take a light touch. If you do not thoughts operating with delicate electronic components this can be enjoyable. The original unit had a defective board, apparently a single of the diodes was reversed and it was simpler to get the replacement unit than to spend the work to locate the defective component or acquire a new board.
I would like to make it a matter of record that I do not fault the retailer TPA Retailer for the difficulties that ocurred, the unit was delivered in a sealed package with an apparent manufacturing defect. In my eagerness I disassembled the unit and did a diaognostic on it to find the problem, which I suspected was an battery malfunction, I was wrong. They had been rather gratious and eagerly replaced the unit to my satisfaction even with the information that I had disassembled the aircraft. I have been flying this tiny aircraft to my delight given that its arrival, after the replacement of the Li-poly battery. So, yes I am a pleased camper.

Decent, hard product. Enjoyable and hassle-free to fly. All that I expected. I especially like the laptop or computer bus cable for recharging as it saves batteries. I took the helicopter more than to my grand kids to play with and they could not place it down. All I heard was "I want this for Christmas".
