Just recieved my s107g and cant get it to fly for more than 4 seconds.Takes off like everything is fine and then just stops mid air and crashes.Ideas?

We experience it occasionally, usually because we fly it too close to the Xbox and the Turtle Beach sensor near the TV so we think it may be just interference from all the electronics and/or wireless devices over there. Hope that helps :-D

Sounds like it may be getting interference from another source like the radio or television.

You should fully charge your syma before flying it ...if it still does the same after send it back ..the battery can be bad

Make sure you aim the remote directly at the helo, and that your hands are not covering the top of the remote. Could also be channel interference, try another location or house.

Have you charged it yet? Make sure you charge it fully before the first flight.

Mine seems to require reset periodically. Try changing the TX mode by pushing down on the left stick, also can cycle the ladybird gyro by going on and off.

so you're saying for instance the front or the back runs all the time, non stop without you even touching the remote?? usually shutting off the copter and the remote and powering them back one at a time fixes it. What I would do is try and let the battery drain out which might clear out the memory, then check for anything clogging the other propellers, then recharge and see how it works. might mean either the remote went defective or the copter itself got hit and now its all messed up.

Unfortunately, I could only get to fly one copter for approximately 30 to 45 seconds no matter how long I charged it. I never opened the second copter. I returned both copters.

Had similar problem. Out of the box, the copter flew fine (apart from my novice controlling). From the second flight onward, it would not get any higher than a couple of inches off the floor. I trolled the forums to try and solve the issue. I purchased a replacement battery, struggled with the fiddley fitting of it and still not sorted. I've now ordered another copter off amazon 'cos my lad (and me) really want to have one of these working. As a last resort I've just applied a little WD40 (via the WD40 straw) to the cogs and the bottom of the shaft and Hey Presto, works a treat! Looks like me and the boy will be duelling now that i've ordered a second! Hope that this helps anyone with the same issue. Had similar problem.

Did you try to use the right trim? Sometimes these helicopters are not ready to fly out of box. You will need to do some adjustments which is normal. Check on the YouTube. YouTube got some good tips.

No J.M. it's actually gotten worse. The latest software update causes the gimbal to literllay die if you even touch it. I now am the proud owner of three of these gimbals! It generally takes 2 or 3 rounds of unplugging the battery and re-pluggin it in to get the gimbal to staly activated. Then, the great part is the gimbal will just go dead in the middle of a flight! You have to land the Phantom and go through the whole battery deal all over again to get it to work. That said, from what I have been reading, most of the other gimbals have just as many problems. There is no customer service to speak of because DJI doesn't respond to it's dealers who then can't respond to us. No J.M. it's actually gotten worse.

after a short time (about a week or so)of playing with , the quad copter and controller wouldn't pair- still attempting to find solution.

First, where you able to charge the aircraft? A lot of people including myself had a rough time figuring out how to properly charge it. Before mine self destructed, I remember it took about 5 seconds with "full throttle" or left stick before the motors would kick in. Good luck, hope that helps

HI , I am TIM , Your pretty much done . That's the problem with that plane , I used Velcro soft side cut small piece cut hole in center to protect switch . Try a switch off of an air hog , But you will have to solder . The 781 is a nice plane , has landing gear .Last resort , Use straight pin to turn off or on .

sounds like a battery issue mine flies like that when the battery is almost dead after about 10 min.

George, ensure the cables under the body are connected correctly. The battery may also need charging. Once complete, hold the "up" position on the joystick for a couple of seconds. Aircraft propeller should begin to spin. If none of this works, contact manufacturer for troubleshooting and possible replacement.

I wish I could help you. I was happy at first bit since it hasn't worked properly.. It keeps going red like there is something bad in air but it won't stop. I have gone to several shops to help but no one knows how to fix it. I have since been looking for a new one.

I had trouble to get it to work and sent it back. I recommend the Gaui GV-100 FPV ($369) from rc-drones.com. Works perfectly. Check it out.

We got it to work and fly OK but as with all planes you do crash and break parts and we have been unable to get parts. So after the second days crash it is basically useless. Did yours come with a parts breakdown and source? Ours had nothing. I have never bought any RC vehicle that did not come with a parts breakdown and source.

Ours did the same thing. Not sure how to correCT the problem. We bought this one because of the high number of positive reviews, as a trainer before purchasing the more expensive quad copter with camera. We kept this one for parts incase we buy another one, but pretty disappointed in this copter. Good luck, hubby did say there were some you tube videos on correcting the problem, but he has lost patience with it.

I bought my online 8 months ago. I can honestly say it was one of my worst purchases ever! I had to by a new battery to get mine to work. The thing can't fly in any wind. Even on the calmest day it barely moves. Good luck with yours.
