Not too convinced on these true value as its got to be cheaper to make these without having to supply a remote control as your using your phone instead.

Yet with delivery it costs £22.

You can get the similiar, very well rated, easy to fly Syma 2nd Edition S107G, with a remote control for £15.83 delivered on Amazon.

It doesn't add up to me that less seems more.. :huh:

Syma are a better known make as well, so easier to get spare parts for, I would think. A quick Google shows that the spares are not too expensive either - and even experienced fliers can crash and damage their 'copters sometimes.

My son flies remote controlled helicopters as a serious hobby - his largest is 1.2m long, and as a member of a flying club he has to have insurance and follow very specific safety rules. He is considering buying the Syma as a 'mess around' copter for flying inside the house - normally he is restricted to the flying field or the local community centre when the club flies indoors in winter.

I don't know a lot about them but do know from ones I have had before that crashing comes into it quite often, so I was pleased to find that I could get a complete spares kit (16 piece) for the Syma on ebay for £3.99 delivered. Includes blades, drive shafts, fins and even a cockpit. I have ordered one to go with the helicopter I bought as it would be a damp squid on Christmas day if the first crash is unlucky enough to break something critical!

I've picked one of these up as my tech son will love flying it from his ipad or iphone.

Many thanks for posting this link.

Happy Christmas
