Fun toy helicopter

[rframe]

These things are great, we've had a couple. $20 on Amazon, it's the Syma S107 3-channel. They're well built and fly surprisingly good. Highly recommended as a simple gift or just for goofing around at the office.

Can you lift anything with it? Thinking it would be fun to dump stuff over cube walls!

 

[rframe]

probably not much, they are very small and light

.....Wonder how I can sling load a Grape and release it.......

I had two (broke 'em both) for quite a few months after Christmas. They're seriously more fun than one would expect.

They were pretty hot last Christmas - I'm going to pick one up as I've destroyed the last of my first-gen Micro-choppers.

They are wonderful for annoying cats.

That's all I used mine for, that and trying to land it on the ceiling fan blades...that takes talent. It's pretty challenging once you establish a hover over the blades and they start a slow rotation. With my 2 we'd play a dogfight game where you'd win by getting above the other guy and your rotorwash would force the other heli down.
