Buyer Critiques

The Syma S026 Chinook Transport is a fine small indoor helicopter. This model came with a dedicated charger that rapidly recharges the battery and will allow for a flight time in excess of five minutes.
The manage has extra features from the typical three channel models that let the operator to adjust forward and reverse flight and will hover in a single spot with no spinning or yawing. I've found that in my smaller space making use of the power for elevation and the attitude controls for forward or reverse angles with the yaw control dial makes it possible for me to navigate with precision. It is a distinctive encounter and quite impressive to land on a "designated heli-port" with pecision.
Now for the downer, so to speak. The initial 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 pleased 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 simply because the units have not been created for straightforward battery replacement but that will quite possibly be addressed in the next models. I will be replacing the "stock" battery with a 400mah battery soon and I expect that it will boost my air time to over fifteen minutes, but ten minutes that can be had with the stock battery is great.
I'll take a moment to discuss 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 accomplished. It is attainable to acquire spare motors, manage boards and batteries for this unit but the wires of each component are fine and take a light touch. If you do not thoughts working with delicate electronic components this can be enjoyable. The original unit had a defective board, apparently one particular of the diodes was reversed and it was less complicated to get the replacement unit than to invest the effort to locate the defective component or obtain a new board.
I would like to make it a matter of record that I do not fault the retailer TPA Retailer for the troubles 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 uncover the challenge, which I suspected was an battery malfunction, I was incorrect. They were really gratious and eagerly replaced the unit to my satisfaction even with the information that I had disassembled the aircraft. I have been flying this small aircraft to my delight since its arrival, soon after the replacement of the Li-poly battery. So, yes I am a pleased camper.

Great, hard item. Entertaining and effortless to fly. All that I expected. I especially like the computer bus cable for recharging as it saves batteries. I took the helicopter more than to my grand kids to play with and they couldn't put it down. All I heard was "I want this for Christmas".
