Got my son (14 years) a Syma S800G 4 channel micro for Christmas. Mama seemed to misplace the remote from his previous helicopter. :roll:

I've played with it some, but the boy has a blast with it. Took him a little while to get used to the different control layout, but he enjoys having the fourth channel, which let the heli slide sideways.

Wife got me one for my birthday the 12th, haven't used it yet. Looking forward to it as I need a good day outside and haven't had one yet.

A guy a work with got one of the little ones for christmas. We all take turns landing it on odd things like the top of cubicle walls.

They are amazingly controllable.

I bought myself a copter last Christmas. It didn't last the day sadly - a couple too many big bangs into heavy, solid things. :x :cry:

I tried several times to fly the 033G inside but it is just too big where the 107'S are just right and very controllable , i have chopped up a couple of house plants with it though :roll:
