I know it's quite new but I'm surprised there are no reviews of this helicopter yet. I got one yesterday and it's blown me away. I've got several S107Gs, and this latest S108G is not only a really beautiful little (virtually) scale model but is even more precise to fly than a S107G, which is saying something. I just hope it lasts. I've got beyond the crashing stage, but as a reviewer of the S107G said, when something this good is produced this cheaply, you simply have to adopt the philosophy of accepting that a percentage will not work out of the box and some will last not very long before malfunctioning or experiencing severe battery performance degradation. Having said that, my three original four-month-old S107Gs are still functioning perfectly after daily flying and some truly horrendous training crashes which you simply would not believe a model helicopter could survive without damage, let alone fly afterwards without any trim change. One of the keys to longevity is careful battery use, never run the battery right down in flight, and always allow ten or fifteen minutes after flying before recharging. I really hope this S108G keeps going, because it's just a blast. These Syma micro helis, although less sophisticated than the significantly more expensive and undeniably superior E-Flite micro helis that I also have, are to me more fun to own, being far more solidly constructed of alloy and plastic, and fun to dismantle and maintain. The fact that this is a scale model (apart from the extra rotors) is great, I look forward to a Huey to the same scale! Now that would be something.
