Remote Control Helicopter


I'm new to the toy helicopter following. I got these because an experienced hobbyist suggested having them on hand when a crash destroys the originals. Well, I've smacked my little S107 into every wall, the ceiling, bookcases, tables, hard & soft furniture, etc. The prop blades are fine. It's a good idea to have these replacement blades on hand, but the durability of this little machine amazes me. SYMA Replacement Set of Main Rotor Blades for S107 Red Part S107-02

I bought these blades to replace my broken blades on my s107 heli because apparently I suck at flying it. The blades work fine. One tip: make sure you are putting the correct blades on the correct side. There are two types so figure before you take your heli apart or you will have to redo the replacement.



Another note: I just checked eBay and there is a replacement set of 20 blades for $15.00 including shipping. If you think you will need that many blades, it's a much better deal.

I ordered main blades for my little helicopter. The day later, the motor stopped working. I contacted NBOX US Distributor and they simply canceled my order with no fuss. Five stars for them! Thanks Eric with NBOX US Distributors!

These blades are fairly durable, but if you are considering buying a Syma S107G, and you are new to the RC heli scene like I am, I strongly suggest getting at least one pack of these blades along with your S107G. While the S107G does come with four extra blades (two top blades, two bottom blades) and an extra tail rotor, I used up both extra blades (the lower ones, bear in mind that the top and lower blades are different!), and wound up buying these extra blades anyway. Again, strongly suggested for the newbie or beginner pilot.

For some reason, these red rotor blades split more easily than the other colors of the SYMA 107 copter. The yellow ones and the blue ones are more durable. The slightest collision with this red copter usually results in splitting of these rotor blades, especially on the lower rotor. I think they are made of a different plastic than the other two colors.

I placed an order about a month ago to buy two sets of blades. I finally got around to installing them and found that I was sent 8 top blades and not any bottom blades (which stinks because I broke one of the bottom blades). The blades are strong. Even with a chunk taken out of the bottom blade, the helicopter still flys ok.



In summary good blades, fast shipping, just be sure to check the order to make sure that you receive two top blades and two bottom blades.



***EDIT*** Sent message to seller about the error of the order and received a quick response stating that they would send four bottom blades to me. Thanks for the great service :-)'
