I have a Syma S6 Mini and S36, both of which are stable and predictable, especially the S36. So I had high expectations for the S800G. On the positive side, the S800G moves up and down and rotates very predictably. But, when it goes forward or in reverse, it moves slightly to one side (and even rotates a bit when it moves in reverse). It also moves forward and backward slightly when you move the stick to make it go sideways. All this due to the design, but you can compensate for it by operating more than one control at the same time. One other issue is that the S800G is constantly getting out of rotational trim, but fortunately, the trim adjustment is a convenient dial on the side of controller. Despite these issues this is a fun helicopter to fly – but a bit more challenging than the S6 Mini or the S36.

To be sincerely, my expectation was not high. I was surprise with test in my home. Very strong, very easy to control.

The saying "you get what you paid for" does not apply with this little chopper. Controls are a little sensitive than I expected, as compared to the s107g. The precision of this chopper is in a word incredible. From stop & go, left, right, up and down, strafe left, strafe right. Or any combination this chopper does it on a dime. Full speed towards a wall and release the stick from forward just one inch before impact, and guess what this little guy stops one inch in front of the wall. Of course the wind turbulence generated by being that close to the wall might still cause a crash. Great RC I recommend for anyone beginning or years of experience. This helicopter is fun.

One of the best little toys I have ever seen. My children haven't had this much fun in a long time and they are adults. We just love the elegance of the design, and real control is possible, even for my grandaughter. Just perfect.
