These Symas look to be very similar RC helis:107G, 111G, 109G &102G. Can anyone tell me is this really worth 4 x the price of those?

In my opinion the mCX2 heli is worth every penny. The Symas are only 3 channel and the mCX2 is a 4 channel heli. The support and replacement parts availability on the Blade helicopters cannot be beat. If you want a toy, get a Syma, if you want a hobby grade helicopter to learn to fly and go on to bigger helis, spend the money and get the mCX2.

I own both types of helis,, S107 and MCX2. The MCX2 is 4 channel as opposed to 3 channel for the Symas.The 4 channel is a lot more fun to fly and gives the pilot much more control over the heli. Also the battery caneasily be replaced and can be recharging while you're flying the heli with your spare battery. In my opinion theMCX2 is worth the extra cost.

Yes. they are cheaper and repair parts are readily available. Best of all the motors don't overheat and warp the frame the way some Blade models do..I bought a friend a Syma it had a sturdy aluminum frame and was very s table and easy to fly.

There are some vids on youtube you can watch that will show you how to tell. One I saw was the color of the board inside and the power indicator light. On a fake the indicator light which is kind of inside the heli will be red and the board will be green.. A real Syma will have a red board and green light. That is one of the most obvious signs.

It most definitely would! If you plan to move on to bigger helis I suggest the Spektrum DX6i. It's a great starter TX for tinkering and adjusting settings for up to 10 helis on a single transmitter and would definitely save some money in the long run.

yeah you can I think mines is 107c or H I'm not sure maybe somebody else can answer your question better I don't know the distinct difference between the two but I'm pretty sure they'll all run on that same controller have fun flying.have you tried the SyMA x5 quad .it is a lot of in a couple drawbacks to it SyMA x5 not Camarayou can't fly it very far it gets a disconnect and should be only flown close to you unless you extend transmitter antenna

Will it worth to spend $400 to buy such as Align Trex if you are new to RC Helos? Hausler 450 do have certain quality compare to the price. Remember to get "Training Gear" before going to your first fly.

If you flew the V911 you should be able to work on mSRX. It's a good heli, it doesn't have flybar and won't autocorrect or return to horizontal position itself unless you tell her to do it. Is a bit faster than V911 and the last step before collective pitch helicopters, in fact it feels very close to one. Reading your history of other Helis, I believe that you want to progress on this hobby, so: buy the mSRX (BNF no TX), 2 or 3 lipos, and buy a good radio TX ie DX6i, because this heli with stock TX is difficult to control. With a programmable TX you can tame it down properly, and it will serve you when you decide to step on bigger stuff. DX6i holds 10 aircraft in memory. Anyway....buy it.

It's a little bigger than a 200 size heli. I would not buy this heli. Major problem with tail motor DOA. Mine was and 2 more were. Get a WL TOYS V912. You will be much happier with this fixed pitch heli. Same size, much better quality. FYI... If you already have flow 3-4 channel fixed pitch heli's. ...And you feel pretty confident, go for a collective pitch 6 channel. If you like this size, get a Walkera Master CP. Very docile for collective pitch heli. I own one and still fly it even today although I have advanced to more 3D capable heli's. It is a relatively inexpensive heli even in RTF versions ($150 or so). You will get much more enjoyment once you get over complexity of collective pitch flying. It's a little bigger than a 200 size heli. I would not buy this heli. Major problem with tail motor DOA.

Works with all servos in Syma x1, v911, v959, etc. No servos in the x1, sorry about that. Only complaint I have is FS-t6 does not control a CP heli, at least that I know of. I bought it for that. I am stupid, but it does work with servos via the receiver.

Thanks, for the info, next time I'll read the notes on the site. It was clearly answered by someone before. I just hadn't looked.Hve a nice week end.. I decided on the Jet 10141.Guillermo

I think so, but agree with Michael Brandt's reply. I haven't flown the single rotor ones yet (waits for Christmas and my kids), but the dual rotor one is cool looking. The most amazing thing to me is how tough they are. Lots of crashes and still flying.

I would recommend going to a Blade MSR First....it is the next step (intermediate) from a coaxial heli like the Syma 107.....I started flying Heli's back in November on the coaxials (syma). Then I tried the Blade MCX2 (which is a nicer version of the symas.). Then went to the blade MSR which is more advanced, yet you can always let go of the control sticks and it will go back to hover. With the Collective Pitch heli's, such as the nano, you cannot get away with that. I am now love the nano and it is my favorite to fly, but you need to work you way up to it.

Honestly ,,, if you are going to spend a hundred bucks on a simulator I would just put another fifty with it and buy an mcpx . Sims are good for learning inverted control movements but can't compare to actually flying a machine . Find a grassy area and have fun . I have crashed my mcpx no less than a hundred times at a cost to fix of maybe 30$ . Stock up on main rotor linkages and order an extra servo for the main rotor and you will have loads of fun :-). Just my opinion , have a great time .

The blade MSR is a fixed pitch heli. Unsure if there is a FBL version. I've moved up to 450 size collective pitch helis. You should also check out the V911. Same performance as the MSR at a fraction do the cost.

Yes, the Syma S107 is a great helicopter. Strictly indoors, but can't beat it for durability, stability, and ease of use. I absolutely recommend this heli as an entry level copter, then upgrading to a 3.5 channel, than the 4 channel fixed pitch such as this product your currently looking at.

well not as well as a true 6 channel helo, now my FX078, FX061, FX052 helos all by the same company and all 4 channel helos, they bank just like a 6 channel helo, way better than any of the MJX or WLtoys 4 channel helos and you do know that banked turns are always the easiest on right turns with any 4 channel, I believe since they lean that way its just easier

Also, a lot of people love this heli, and a lot of people love this heli but say the servos are weak, cyclic/tail. I fly in Houston summer weather. ESC and tail server do get hot, but I have got about 60+ flights with it, no issues yet.The devo 7 is a good radio. I like the feel of it. I did however upgrade to the 8s. You have got more options as to what you can fly with deviation software available now.

Send it back and get a V912 sky dancer it's a four channel RC the most fun and challenging RC helicopter for the money you will love it. I have a 9118 but got board with it very fast. Once you master a 4 channel V912 sky dancer you will absolutely love it and you will have to hold it back it has big time speed and priced very affordably.
