Client Reviews

Just after flying my S107 for a few weeks I didn't expect any micro coaxial helicopter to leading it for enjoyable. I was wrong...
The Avatar Z008 didn't fly very so very easily at initially. It was additional tricky to preserve altitude. I didn't care for the dead stick throttle. It was too effortless to start out the issue with blades spinning and then the mad rush to get it under control. I put a heavy rubber band across the controller to hold the throttle stick down. This was a little ugly but helpful. The trim for left/suitable rotation needed some attention for each and every flight and the further weight over the S107 made the Avatar drop far more speedily than I was utilized to. Applying the outrigger motors was complicated to coordinate with the throttle for level sideways flight considering they use the identical stick.
I initially felt the S107 just had the Avatar beat for enjoyable and efficiency. As I stated before, I was wrong! It took around ten flights and my entire perspective altered. Instinctively I was in a position to hold altitude and hover regularly. I began to get the really feel for the side motors and could coordinate slides clear across the space with the fourth axis. I could rotate and move sideways at the similar time and even creep forward and reverse - it was feeling more 3D all the time. Soon after an hour or so of flight time I was in a position to compare my new Avatar with my S107 and right here is what I like about them both.
They each charge from my laptop in less than 1/two hour. The Avatar charges up around 30% more rapidly.
They each fly lengthy enough for me to welcome a break. In other words I was satisfied with the length of flight time. The S107 flies longer by about 30% but length doesn't equal good quality and like I stated, I am continually satisfied when the batteries get low. I'm ready to get recharged with the LiPos.
They each lift off steadily and with ease. Neither tends to make any dramatic lunges or spins. The Avatar doesn't shoot for the ceiling like the S107 when the batteries are at complete charge but the S107 seems to float a great deal more readily as the Avatar takes a tiny more concentration to preserve it from sinking to the floor.
The S107 moves far more slowly than the Avatar by 50% or so but they each stop and turn rapidly and accurately in the same manner.
I like to practice landings on tiny flat surfaces other than the floor. I've gotten superior at it with each but due to the fact of the additional 6 grams of the Avatar, my landings with it are far better. The little additional mass seems to combat the buffeting of the air against the surrounding objects during landing.
Each are sturdy and durable. I have crashed the S107 much more quite often and have replaced two rotor blades but it was the S107 that taught me to be cautious. Each have created solid get in touch with against table legs and have fallen from heights. I somewhat assume that the Avatar's side motor nacelles tend to provide a small protection for the blades in some circumstances.
Since I've learned to use the two little motors on the sides of the Avatar, I have come to like them a lot. I delight in the miniature roar when they are engaged and the challenge to preserve the Z008 at an even hover altitude. Leveling is by no means an concern. Each side motors come on when moving either left or appropriate, spinning in opposite directions. It is a distinctive and pleasant feature and what causes me to select the Avatar when it comes time for a tiny enjoyable.
The Avatar comes with some spare parts (blades) for the key, tail and side motors and a little Phillips screwdriver that does not appear to fit something, including the IR manage door for the batteries. I hope to not desire them but they are there if I do. I would definitely hope that spare parts will become out there online as the Avatar deserves a following. When I come home from work, I appear forward to a little fun and it is the Avatar Z008 that is on my thoughts.
UPDATE: As usually happens ideal soon after a critique is written, I managed to sheer the rotor shaft stopper pins. This is the component that locks the best blades to the shaft that turns them. I have identified a source for the part but it is not in stock. I did have a few hours worth of enjoyable out of this toy and I hope to be in a position to fix it for some far more in the future. I could complain about the superior but honestly, these issues take place and any person acquiring an RC helicopter soon comes to comprehend they are prone to these problems.

My Z008 flew perfectly out of the box. I was surprised that charging times were about 18-22 minutes. When a side motor is engaged, you must improve throttle in order to preserve altitude. This took me about 4-5 flights to master. At this point I was amazed at just how maneuverable this micro chopper certainly is. It is in a position to outperform my Syma S107 in all categories except durabilty. I flew it for nearly two weeks with no incident. It suffered what I considered to be a minor crash which broke the primary shaft stopper. This is the component the holds the best blades in place along with the connect buckles. I fully realized that obtaining replacement parts for the Z008 was going to be tough. For a single, it is a fairly new product. Also, as 90% of everything, it is produced in China. That being stated, I have situated a source for parts and the link beneath should really assist present and future owners. The component I require is nonetheless unavailable, but it should certainly be in the close to future. It is so much enjoyable that I have regarded as acquiring a further and turning my original into a parts donor. What stops me is the notion that this could highly well be the Z008's Achilles heel. I like this chopper adequate to invent a way to reinforce it. Had I received a defective example of one of these little gems, I am particular I would feel differently and I can completely relate with that sort of disappointment. Hope this assists.
