Easy to fly
I have never owned or flown a heli before, I had no problems hovering and flying around on my first attempt, on my second charge I was flying all around the house with no problems, I then removed the guns and wings letting the lights dangle, this improved my flying time by eliminating the extra weight, once I lightened it I moved the battery a bit forward and now it hovers in place, for $20 u can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Small but perfectly formed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2019
I recently acquired an excellent Syma S39 Raptor which is notionally an indoor or outdoor helicopter, but is a bit too big to fly indoors here. Perfect outside, except... weather. This Syma S109G promised the same fun but in a smaller package. Interestingly, the box says this is for 14+ years whereas the S39 is for 8+ years - I wonder why there is a difference.

Anyway, the smaller box arrived and this turns out to be almost identical to the larger model (apart from the style) with the same great build quality, just smaller. So small, in fact, that the on/off switch on the fuselage is almost invisible (but still operable with an adult fingernail). I've attached a photo to show just how small this thing is, since it's hard to appreciate scale from adverts.

For indoor use this is ideal. The mechanical (rotor) gyro and electronic heading gyro make this really easy to fly. Well, easy in comparison to some others! Coincidentally I am reading Chickenhawk, by Rob Mason, about helicopter flying in Vietnam (so the bodywork on this is apposite), and naturally I try to take off by going light and then hover a half-inch. This is pretty easy but doomed to failure - when it goes light, some part is still holding it up so the bodywork tips slightly, and then when you do get fully flying you're crabbing into the furniture. N00b tip: take off quick and clean, then you can achieve a static hover.

The USB charger plugs into a really tiny receptacle and takes about 40 minutes to fully charge, after which there is 5-6 minutes of flying (or hovering!) time. Everything seems to be crash-proof with the rotors being extra flexible and the bodywork deformable. There is a spare rear rotor (presumably this is too small to be made flexible), and a screwdriver to access the batteries in the controller is provided. Usefully, there is also a charger lead hidden behind a hatch in the controller, so you can recharge the chopper even without USB access - neat, and indicative of the thought that's gone into this product.

Speaking of the controller, despite half the advert, this is an infrared job. Perhaps the chopper is just too small to include 2.4GHz radio kit. There are a couple of 'gotchas' when using infrared, but so long as you remember to point the controller at the chopper you would probably forget how it communicates. The most obvious is that the controller takes six batteries (not supplied) since throwing IR over a distance takes power. And strong sunlight can overwhelm it (so if you do go outside, choose a dull day). There are apparently two channels available, so you can have two choppers flying at once, and although the controller can select which channel to use, the chopper seems to be fixed (it has the channel number embossed on the fuselage).

Apart from the slight increase in weight from the extra batteries, the controller is just like any other Syma one. The controls are light without feeling fragile and just the right amount of sensitivity, and no noticeable play.

If push came to shove, my preference would probably be for a radio controller but, nevertheless, this model is going to get a lot of flying hours on it.

Geliefert wird:
🚁 1 x SI096 GIRO System RC Helicopter
🚁 1 x Fernbedienung
🚁 1 x USB Ladekabel
🚁 1 x Bedienungsanleitung

Zusätzliche Daten:
🚁 L: 220mm, Breite: 70mm, Höhe: 95mm
🚁 Ladezeit: 40 Minuten
🚁 Flugzeit: 5-8 Minuten
🚁 Flugdistanz: ca. 8 Meter

Testbericht:
Der Helikopter wird mit der entsprechenden Fernbedienung und einem USB-Kabel geliefert. Für den Betrieb werden 6 Stück 1,5 AA Batterien benötigt, diese sind nicht im Lieferumfang enthalten. Eine Aufladung kann über die Fernbedienung oder auch über den PC-erfolgen. Die Bedienungsanleitung ist sehr gut gestaltet, die Inbetriebnahme und die Benutzung des Gerätes sind damit kinderleicht. Für den Flugbetrieb ist ein wenig Übung erforderlich. Aufgrund der überraschend hohen Stabilität der Rotorblätter ist der Helikopter aber durchaus auch für jüngere Kinder ab ca. 8 Jahren schon geeignet.

Das Gerät macht insgesamt einen sehr stabilen und gut durchdachten Eindruck. Die Lautstärke hält sich im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Geräten absolut im Rahmen und auch die zu erreichende Flughöhe und die Flugdistanz machen den Hubschrauber zu einem tollen Spielzeug für Groß und Klein. Auffällig sind ebenfalls die sehr gute Beleuchtung und die Möglichkeit, Ersatzteile bestellen zu können.

Vorteile: Gute Verarbeitung + Ersatzteile bestellbar
Nachteile: Keine

Fazit: Macht kleinen und großen Kindern Spaß und ist für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert.
