Hey there, RC enthusiasts and helicopter aficionados! Buckle up, because today we’re diving into the teeny-tiny world of the Syma RC Helicopter Model S107 H-E.

This little guy promises big fun in a small package, but does it deliver? Let’s find out!

If you would prefer to watch a video of my full review of the Syma S107 H-E RC Helicopter you can find it in the video below:

What’s in the Box?

First things first, let’s talk about the unboxing experience. I mean, who doesn’t love ripping off that packaging to reveal the shiny new toy inside?

  • The Helicopter: The star of the show, of course! It’s so small it could probably land on a lily pad.
  • Instruction Booklet: Because reading is fundamental, even for flying toys.
  • Charger: To juice up your little flying machine.
  • Additional Battery: Because nobody likes waiting for a recharge.
  • Extra Propellers: Two of ’em! One for the main rotor and one for the tail rotor.
  • Screwdriver: No, not the cocktail. An actual mini screwdriver for your mini chopper.

Size Matters, But So Does Packaging

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—or should I say, the helicopter in the styrofoam? This little guy comes snug as a bug in a styrofoam bed.

It’s so snug, in fact, that you might feel like you’re playing a game of Operation trying to get it out without bending the propellers.

Pro Tip: Check the back of the styrofoam! The controller is sneakily hiding there, and it’s what’s keeping the helicopter in place.

Don’t yank it out like you’re pulling a tablecloth in a magic trick; you might end up with a propeller as a souvenir.

The Nitty-Gritty Details

Battery Life and Charging

This little birdie comes with a battery already installed, but don’t get too excited. The battery is as dead as a doornail out of the box.

You’ll need to charge it up before your inaugural flight. The charging port is so small it’s like threading a needle, so be careful not to bend those tiny prongs.

Controller Shenanigans

The controller requires four double-A batteries, not included. (Because why make life easy, right?) Once you’ve scavenged for batteries, connecting the controller to the helicopter is as easy as pushing the joystick up and down.

You’ll know it’s connected when the LED on the helicopter stops flashing like a disco ball.

Flight Experience

Now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the maiden voyage! This helicopter comes with a one-button take-off, but let me tell you, this thing drifts more than a car in a Fast & Furious movie.

You’ll need to adjust the trim settings unless you want your helicopter to explore every nook and cranny of your house on its own.

Age Recommendation: Not for the Kiddos

The box says it’s suitable for ages eight and up, but unless your eight-year-old is a certified pilot, I’d recommend this for the pre-teen crowd.

Between the tiny charging port and the drifting tendencies, this is more of a “big kids” toy.

Final Thoughts

The Syma (SEMA?) RC Helicopter Model S107 H-E is a fun little gadget, but it’s not without its quirks. It’s a great indoor toy (seriously, don’t even think about taking it outside), but it’s probably best suited for older kids or adults who don’t mind a bit of a learning curve.

So, would I recommend it? Absolutely, but with a few caveats. Happy flying, everyone!

And there you have it, folks! Whether you’re looking for a gift for your RC-obsessed friend or just want a new toy to chase your cat around the house, this little helicopter might just be the ticket.

Just remember, it’s not the size of the helicopter in the flight; it’s the size of the flight in the helicopter!
