Consumer Reviews

The Syma S026 Chinook Transport is a fine small indoor helicopter. This model came with a dedicated charger that promptly recharges the battery and permits for a flight time in excess of 5 minutes.
The manage has further functions from the typical three channel models that allow the operator to adjust forward and reverse flight and will hover in one particular location without having spinning or yawing. I've discovered that in my small space making use of the power for elevation and the attitude controls for forward or reverse angles with the yaw manage dial allows me to navigate with precision. It really is a one of a kind knowledge and quite impressive to land on a "designated heli-port" with pecision.
Now for the downer, so to speak. The first 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 happy 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 offered. Installation was a pickle considering that the units haven't been developed for simple and easy battery replacement but that will likely be addressed in the subsequent models. I will be replacing the "stock" battery with a 400mah battery soon and I anticipate that it will enhance my air time to over fifteen minutes, but ten minutes that can be had with the stock battery is good.
I'll take a moment to talk about 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 manage board is achieved. It is attainable to acquire spare motors, control boards and batteries for this unit but the wires of each component are fine and take a light touch. If you do not mind working with delicate electronic components this can be enjoyable. The original unit had a defective board, apparently one of the diodes was reversed and it was easier to get the replacement unit than to devote the effort to locate the defective component or invest in a new board.
I would like to make it a matter of record that I do not fault the retailer TPA Shop for the issues 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 discover the situation, which I suspected was an battery malfunction, I was wrong. They were quite gratious and eagerly replaced the unit to my satisfaction even with the information that I had disassembled the aircraft. I have been flying this little aircraft to my delight since its arrival, just after the replacement of the Li-poly battery. So, yes I am a happy camper.

i really like this toy, it performs impressivly (though i didnt recognize the rotor blance at first)
and very frankly it shouldnt be working proper now
i was stupid and flew it outside 15 minutes soon after i opened it and flew it into a pond exactly where i had to fish it out with a net
i dried it off and it worked fine, i also spray pained the whole factor black
the inner frame isnt incredibly powerful (i stregthed it with a toothpick) so plugging the charger in was a challenge at first
but, i have a blast with this toy that i have violently abused and it nevertheless works without fail
the shipping was additional than the toy, nevertheless worth it
