Is this a hard step up from a Syma S107? I have about a year's experience with the S107 and my Lama-5.

I agree with the others. My Nano is currently sitting with a broken tail. I have given up on it for a while. The WL Toys V911 would be my choice for next step. Very fun, very durable. I use my Double Horse 9116 Tx for mine. Plus you can get bind and fly replacements for 20 to 25 on Ebay.

Yes, it will be a difficult transition. First, the controls are different. The Syma has the rudder control on the right stick, while the Nano has it on the left. Second, the Syma is a fixed pitch coaxial bird that is designed to be super stable. The Nano is a collective pitch bird that is designed for acrobatics, and hence, much less stable. Plus, the Nano is really small and really fast and will get away from you easily. The recommended transition is from coaxial to fixed pitch to collective pitch. So, a better option for you is to go with the fixed pitch Blade mSRX.

those are two totally different helis.. I started flying with the s107 then stepped up to a fixed pitch Blade 120. next step up is a Flybarless, collective pitch heli.. much harder to fly. but a real ball once you get it.

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.

Very hard transition. Buy a v911! It is a VERY good intermediate between the S107 and the nano CP. You'll have plenty to learn in the v911, but the nano will still be a big jump up from the v911.

Anyone in the world can fly a syma 107.... anything duel bladed is way to easy, wanna start getting into collective pitch helicopters start off with something like the blade 120sr its big enough for outside yet small enough for indoors. Its not very expensive and is ideal for getting into helicopters like these

This is a big jump from an S107. Look at an inexpensive 4-channel fixed-pitch micro heli like a v911 first - cheaper, easier to fly, but still nimble and will get you used to the basics of four channel control. Once you can make the v911 go where you want, then the complexity, cost, challenge, and capability of a collective pitch helicopter like this might be more approachable.

I purchased mine about two months ago and I have about 8 a 10 hours on it with no motor problems. I did need to replace a prop bearing but I'd say that was very minor given the abuse I have put it through. I can't fly helis worth a damn but the Alias is a pleasure to fly, especially after I tuned it way down to my skill level. Hope this helps.

Yes this is harder to fly than any coaxial or "2 blade" as you called it helicopter. WAY more fun once you get the hang of it. Very durable so you hopefully won't need parts but if you do they are readily available online. I get mine through Amazon (flybar needed replaced)

Syma s800 is 9" long I am not a big fan of Syma helicopters. Buy a w.l. toys v911 it's a great starter adult toy.

I have had both H288 and Syma 107 and they are similar, I like the Syma107 better

I doubt it.I ordered mine at different times.I wouldn't have changed batteries if i had it to do again.They are hard wired and you must cut and splice to add them .I'm very satisfied with the S107's right out the box.Hope this help's..enjoy,can't go wrong with a SYMA S107!!!

Its a pretty good stick if that's what your asking...as for closeness to a helicopter stick I'm not sure of but as far as simulations go this is a upper mid range stick I think its worth the money. I use it for dcs a-10 simulator and its excellent and that's a very detail oriented simulator

If you are now good at flying a 4ch fixed pitch heli without any mishaps, then yes this would be my recommendation. I started on a trex 450 but wished I started on the 500 because it is more stable.

I think a better option might be a 4-channel rather than a collective pitch copter like the Nano. 4-channel copters (like the v911) are stable in the air and if you release the cyclic, they will return to a hover on their own. A CP heli will not--they are not stable and will not hover by themselves for more than a second or two. They are very fast and they will shoot across the room (or into you) almost too fast to see at first.I'm not saying it can't be done, mind you...but expect to crash frequently and spend quite a bit of money on parts at first.

I gave my WL Lightning Bird to my local Hobby Shop and got a Blade 120 SR RC Helicopter .The 120 SR is one of the Best RC Helicopter you can get. My WL Bird broke after about 4 - 5 flights.

I would say it's for intermediate/beginner. It's like the syma s108g except you can an go left/right as well. If you've already gotten good with a coaxial helicopter (the two bladed kind) you probably want to go for a 1 bladed one like the Blade 120 SR. If you want a super expert one, go for the Blade nano CP or some other collective pitch heli.

Upgrading the battery and tail rotor is huge some weight in the nose helps. If you fly it often then you will want to put in a little bigger tail motor wl 913/f 45 are good choices.

The range of flight is pretty much the same as how far you can see the quad copter. I know because this is the seccond one I have had. The first one just dropped out of the sky and into the lake. If you can't afford to lose it, don't buy it, because DJI will not replace it....I fraught and fraught with Dji and the bad craft, but they don't replace the units at all.

The only issue I could see you having is with the LiPo battery or air density being so low that the props cannot generate enough lift. As it is radio controlled there would not be any other issue other than possibly wind if you were outdoors this is definitely a copter for size-able indoor spaces. There is no blade pitch adjustments so you stuck with the lift you can generate although this guy is really light and you don't need much throttle at 1,000 feet above sea level to get it going. Having no experience at high altitudes it is hard to say, perhaps review the return/refund policy and take a chance?

The last helicopter I bought says "3D Full Function Helicopter" on the nose of it & is a S107G. It is white. I have a yellow one which says just S107 & does not say "Full Function" on it. I can see no difference in how they fly.

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.

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x
