Swann SW391-SML Micro Lightning Helicopter

I got one of these great little fliers from Fry's Electronics. I'm amazed at how many different copters there are now! Just a few years ago, they carried TWO models, the 8818, and the 6020, and neither had gyro!

My New Thunderbird Helicopter from HelizoneRC and Hobby-eStore

Here's a few more pics before we tear it down for an autopsy. Check out all of those gold-anodized parts in the Helizone Thunderbird.

I was finally able to take one of my small copters out in the yard (even with a mild side-wind) and just bomb all over with it. What a BLAST this new copter is to fly around. It's so nice to land where you wanted to, not where you ended up.

I was surprised at the range I had with the transmitter that came with the Helizone Thunderbird. But then again, it's a Giggy-hertz radio, so that really shouldn't be surprising. I think the IR-controlled copter days are about over.

 And at  just $49, the Helizone Thunderbird will be a huge factor in proving me correct.

Syma S031, S032, S107 Compared

I'm lucky enough to have many, many 3 channel copters. Once I started writing reviews on online forums, they started showing up almost daily. Most are poo, those are never seen or heard from again. If you think you can tell a good copter from a bad one on sight, you are wrong. Some of the worst-looking things have turned out to be the best indoor helicopters. I fly only 3 channel helicopters for a reason: I don't like wind, and it is always windy here, especially this time of year.

The Syma 3 channel family of indoor copters is growing! I made this short video to show people what the most popular Syma copters look like side by side..
