Syma S026 Tandem Chinook CH 47 Picoo Helicopter

Product Review

Last year, Silverlit had brought to all RC fans a major shock with the introduction of their Tandem Z helicopter. A full 3 channels control makes it capable to go forward, left, right, slightly backward. However, a lot of customer were dissatisified with its quality, they said it is too easy to break, and they don't like the weird front and rear stabilizer attaching to the Tandem Z. This year Syma had finally introudced their own version of Tandem Z, built with the coaxial blade platform, it provides double the stability in compares to a Tandem Z, you don't need to trim the helicopter constantly to get it stable. And you can manually adjust the flying style. For example if you want the helicopter to lean more to the forward, you can press the button on the right shoulder a few times, it will make the Rear rotor Blade spins faster than the front rotor, making the helicopter tends to fly forward. And vice versa, if you want the helicopter to fly significantly backward. And you can also try the neutral flying mode, which is helicopter not leaning to either forward or backward, I personally like this the most, the easier mode to control.

BEST INDOOR RC HELICOPTER EVER! NO JOKE~, April 26, 2010

I'm shocked myself - This is going to be the most positive review I've ever written on any site, for any product - This copter is that good! I caught the heli bug 3 years ago while recovering from a broken hip, going from 2 to 3 to 4 channel indoor copters, as well as a few higher end outdoor models.

Of them all, the Syma S026 Chinook (and make sure it's this one! more on that later)is the most stable and easiest to fly Helicopter in our collection. It does whatever you want it to do - exactly. Having been through the horrors of two-channel units, which really don't do anything but go up and down (and spin out of control! semi-LOL), it's great to find an inexpensive that really flies - not randomly, but lets you be a real pilot.

Hit the up controller and it goes directly proportional to amount of throttle input. Go forward or backwards, and it goes where you want it to. Hover it right next to you, and it stays there until you send it on a new mission. Up,...Read more

A Kid's Review

= Durability: = Fun: = Educational:

This review is from: Syma S026 Tandem Chinook CH 47 Picoo Helicopter - Coaxial rotor Blade design - Double stability and handling (Toy)

This little helicopter is great! I am only 11 years old so it has had lots of crashes including it dropping like a stone from a 12 foot ceiling but there wasn't a scratch on it!!! It has crashed into the wall many times and the propellers are still going strong. One really nice thing about it is that it does not plug into the transmitter to charge. I got the idea from a friend who has a fire strike helicopter and his is really nice too but this one is a lot easier to controI. It goes backwards forwards and turns very precisly. This little heli is definitely worth your money.

Was looking for an RC Helicopter for my seven year old grandson that was durable, reasonably oprative extremely easy to controll yet great fun and at a
very reasonable price. He is on his fourth day and has really played with it a lot and it has already passed the air hogs I used to buy by you guessed it four days. Don - Smyrna DE
