I'll be honest with you I'm not a specialist in modeling. However, I have always dreamed to fly an RC Helicopter. I tried a Model Bi-rotor with a friend and I was hooked! I go around the specialized sites and forums and I decided to buy a fixed pitch model, without breaking my budget (about 50) that would allow me to control both indoors and outdoors.
The Syma F3 and the perfect compromise between quality and price!
The materials used and the assembly are of quality, with a metal axle (alu I think).
It is a 4 CH RC helicopter so we can do a fly in almost all directions.
It takes a bit of practice to take it in hand (I am a beginner, I recall you! :)), But once adjusted (trim) the helicopter is very stable knowing that it is not fixed.
Moreover, it is incredibly durable, parts do not move!
I find the simple design, but pretty! For my part I ordered white.
It comes with 2 spare blades, a propeller and 2 batteries (batteries) with a double charger that lets you double your usage time!
You can find spare parts for this product (batteries, blades, shafts, rotor ...), so it's more significant.
The only negative for me is the finish of the radio control. The plastic is a little cheap ... But to be honest, I do not find this very important detail ...
I am about 8 sessions of 5-6 minutes since I received. If I noticed something else, I will notify you ...
Other similar designs are available on the net, such as Trex 100 Align or V911 of WLtoys, but generally more expensive ... bcp to you how much you want to. The V911 sometimes approaching the price of Syma but compared to the design, I prefer the Syma, who in addition to the very positive feedback on various sites and forums.
So if you too, you have always had the desire to have your own RC helicopter without breaking the bank, I can only advise you to go for it.
In short, this is a good RC heli and the price is quite reasonable!
