Customer Reviews

Let's begin off by saying that this is the initial outdoor RC helicopter I've owned. Nonetheless I have a smaller fleet of indoor RC's, which includes three S107G's which is what the S031G is modeled right after. The gyro is incredible, as is the super uncomplicated trim dial. Despite the truth that I broke the upper blade grip the first time out (hit the only metal light pole in 1000ft radius), I'd say this is a Pretty sturdy small machine. The primary rotor blades are robust -- as well powerful. My neighborhood hobby guy had the element in stock. Then again, whilst examining it he noticed that I have the old style battery rather than the new LiPo battery which explains the 75 - 90 min. charging time. The new LiPo is a single of the improvements supposedly made to the "G" model. At least I nonetheless get an honest ten-15 minutes per charge. Speaking of "power" the S031G is incredibly underpowered by design, when facing even the slightest headwind. It really is got OK lift, but the horizontal tail rotor blade is also small or desires to be completely redesigned. I am NOT talking about gusty ten-15 mph winds, mind you, I'm talking about breezes, perhaps five-7 mph. Lift is good but I discovered that hand launching considerably elevated my flying time. The moment in the air employing the power to move against slight headwinds will get you into trouble if you do not have adequate practice. The S031G likes to fly high -- and it will if you aren't cautious. I try not to exceed 20ft mainly because of the forward thrust issue. But, I've gotten it nicely more than 150ft when I realized I could possibly be in difficulty and panicked, cut the energy too substantially, and nevertheless landed proper on the skids. I would actually like to see a redesigned version of this model that delivers adequate forward thrust for common flying situations. I really feel the S031G is a helicopter with a lot of potential, but falls short because of it really is inability to fly adequately in most useable circumstances. I'd positive really like to fly it in a massive empty warehouse!

Rather solid piece of flying equipment. The gyro technique is best-notch and only requires Particularly minor trimming out of the box! Maiden flight was in a little kitchen area and stuck the landing completely! This model is the absolute, by far, the very best I've utilized for beginner / advanced-beginner education. With such stable flight, you can honestly put the craft through the paces and focus much less on more than- / below-controlling the flight path. Pros: stabilized elevation stick, durable heli physique with forgiving rotors, straightforward to set up and begin flying, pretty responsive to all stick movements, Quite low-cost replacement parts are accessible, and can move fairly quick when placed in the tail rotor 'boost' mode. Cons: wish it had the 4th channel for even further advanced instruction just brief of moving to single-rotor gear. Overall - couldn't be happier!
