Hey Sizzlemywizzlevdeos, thanks for the the input....the problem was the two tiny support posts that hold the top rotor to the main shaft broke off....I have since repaired the s107 and it's still flew great and then I sold all my syma helis the s107, s006, the s031g, the 9100, and the 9104. I got my money's worth from them all. ....I no longer fly 3.5 channels but I have to admit...the s107 was a really good learning tool.
yep....the flybar pins were broken....I have since replaced that part and the s107 flew again....until I went on to 4 channel and then 6 channel...Now the s107 has been sold. Thanks for the post....you were spot on with your observation.
@PyR0Star - Hey thanks PyR0Star. I just wondering how the top rotor is connected to the main shaft....By the way...have the tried to upgrade the battery or make any mods?
@MrKwanlee - You know MrKwanlee.....I thought it was the connect buckles too....but both were connected at the time of that video.....I order anothe s107 and I am hoping that I will be able to see how that unit is connected but I think the problem is the main shaft has broken free from the to rotor somehow because I see two points on the shaft where it seems something was connected...I will try to get a better close up....thanks for the advice.
Thanks noah for the reply...I wish it had been something as simple as the carpet....but it wasn't... it was a broken flybar...I knew nothing about that at the time of making this video.....I have since moved on...thanks again...and fly like an eagle....peace.
Greetings Sir and thanks for commenting on my former problem......I fixed the s107 and she is hopefully making some kid happy as I donated it to a Childrens shelter....The problem was the flybar connects broke and once it was replaced, it fly great. I have move on the larger birds now but still appreciate your interest in helping me solve the problem. BTW...have you checked out the Syma f106....it's a four channel.
Thanks skaterboy2502 for you suggestion. Actually, it was the flybar. I bought a new one and it flew fine once the damaged flybar was replaced. I have sinced sold all my 3 channel helis and graduated to 4 channels and now I am flying a trex 550 with training skids and a teacher of course..
Thanks for the suggestion Mr. Patrick....but the problem was actually the flybar...It became disconnected from the main shaft...I fixed it and sold it along with all my 3 channel helis.....
Hey MW2Master36, I wish it was that simple but the problem was the flybar pins were broken off. I fixed it and the heli flew fine....I have long since moved on to bigger helis now....thanks for the post.
I love youtube for just this very thing...Hey Popeyevallshipd....thanks for the post...but I fixed that bird over a year ago...but I love your points because it could help me or some of my viewers with their birds problems as well. The problem with my S107 was the flybar pins broke off. thats' why the blade was so floppy. I have fixed it with the help of all my viewers like you. I now fly a Trex 600 and love it. Thanks again....
@TheBeatSmith No I figured I'd wait until battery performance has been fuct on the 150mah. But did plan on the 240mah later, but that was to counter balance the 6020 tail boom i was going to put on it which is slightly heavier, with the bigger motor. When I removed the balance bar thing that destroys 99% of s107s, its just a flattened pied of metal on the shaft. I've considered using a dremmel and making a tiny indentation if this happens again. but yea, cuz had the warranty, loving my s107!
Wow...I had all but forgotten I posted this video....thanks for the post....The problem was the flybar pins broke off and that's why the top rotor was so floppy. I fixed it and it fly fine. I have a trex 600 now....and that's a whole new world.
Thanks Alan for the help....but the problem was the flybar pins broke off and that's why the top rotor was so floppy. I fixed it and it flies fine. I have a trex 600 now....and that's a whole new world
@bunybuns - hey thanks for the info....but I did fix it....it was actually the flybar...I have sold it along with all my 3.5 channel helis and now flying 4 channels. but ya gotta love the little indoor copters......thanks again....
It’s the main shaft I have a s107g and it had the same problem the problem is the main shaft I’ll send you a link of how to change the main shaftczcams.com/video/XR9IMkmZvCw/video.html i also have a s026g chinook helicopter and it has a problem too and it won’t fly and they don’t anymore for sale.
Thanks ThtiherSark984 for your post. The problem with the heli was actually the flybar connect pins. They broke off during a hard crash I guess. Anyway, I fixed the bird and it flew fine. I am now flying a Trex 600. Now that is a scary blast. Again thanks for the tip....
I guess you have the problem resolved by now? I just replaced one of the gears, mine sounded noisyer then it did, and it went a little to noe side. In my case the one small gear that was between the motor (not the gear on the motor or the gear on the main shaft) and the main shaft, has some ground off teeth on the smaller (tiny) top part of the gear. I had luckly ordered aan extra gear set and an extra set of blades when I ordered my Syma 107. Good luck and let me know what was wrong with yours?
@ Colinbrown303, thanks for the suggestion....the problem was their are two little pins that hold the top rotor to the main shaft...I replace the entire rotor assemble and the problem was fixed.....
Great you have fixed it--we are all crazy nutters on the forum,you should join..you are welcome to put a link on your video to the forum- have you joined yet? please do and post your video and how you fixed it-helps a lot of people...
Thanks for posting....but to clear things up.....the flybar broke from the main shaft....that was the problem....I fixed it and flew like new and I sold it with about six other s107s.....now flying HK500.
The problem is one of your gears are not spinning well which slows the bottom propeller and gives more speed to the propeller on the top, try checking your chip and see if any cable is disconnect or check the gears if both of them are spinning.
Just after 2 days of purchasing my Syma S107g it lost its stability. As soon as it fly up it become unstable. Please help , how to troubleshoot this issue.
@riotechdeck1 - No....I learned that there are two little knobs that keeps the top rotor secure. I have purchased the required parts and now I just need to put them on....Hey man thanks for the look out.....peace
When you say pair the receiver. Do you mean bind the receiver or do you mean repair the receiver...either way I would do a precheck....I assume the battery is fully charged and the lights work....right? are the batteries in the transmitter seated the right way and are they fully charge. It could be a bad board as well....It's hard to tell without seeing the problem.
Yes...I did....also I tried something new....I put a piece of fairly stif plastic on all the blades and I was amazes at the even greater stability. I put a bigger battery got about 10 min flight.....I have since sold it and replace with a MQX.....thanks for posting.
Hey Thanks mbegick....man I just could not figure that out....I eventurally just bought another on.....I have move up the a fun copter and I just bought a HK600....but it all started with this little baby....I still love flying it....By the way, have you seen the new four channel version of s107.....????
It took me about a half hour to replace the bad gear, there is a lot of parts to remove and then the gear is hard to get out, but I found a video on you tube that showed how to do it. The only thing I did different was I used one of the short little gear posts (the gear set came with two rep[lace ment short gear posts) to push the old post and gear out with, this worked better then grabbing the old gear with a set of needle nose and twisting it back and forth to get it off. (like in the video)
I love this little bird....I fixed it and it still flying over a year later...But if you want to progress to larger birds you will be a 4 channel. Syma offers the f109 to give you some idea of what it's like to fly hobby grade helis....I now fly the trex 600...it's scary as hell but man what a rush.....
The gear sets were cheap (only 2.00). I am now glad I ordered them with the 107. I have been thinking about getting an mcpx next, skipping the four channel and going right to colective pitch. I know it will be hard and i will probably crach a lot to begin with, but I am thinking the mcpx is so light, it will withstand the abuse a lot better then a bigger helicopter would, plus I can learn to hover it and do the simpler training in my house or back yard, rather then having to go somewere to fly.
@ colinbrown303 -I have since sold all of my syma copters and bought a funcopter.... and Trex 500....they are a real blast....and best of all no crashes......not even one.....but I have to admit....no real 3D either....but I am fine with that for now....I am just doing Aerial Video now for may clients.....and having a ball.......again...thanks for the info.
@TheBeatSmith I've made tons of changes and mods, and plan far more. I'm waiting on 240mah batterys because I'm planning on using a compUSA heli that doesn't interfere as a 4th channel, and adding two things in this order. 1. RC grenade launcher or mock white phosphorusattack, and 2nd, im going to use the trim of xtraRC to cause a small bar to transfer weight to make it roll, I've pushed these things to thier limits and love outdoor night fly.Look up syma s107 streamlined night
@toadman602 - LOL.....you said small balls.........Just kidding guy....I did fix the copter and you are absolutely right...I ended up getting a replacement blade grip....a couple in fact...because I see that as a weak point in the copter design.
Hey BeatSmith, take a closer look at your upper rotorhead. notice how it pivots (or used to) on a set of two stationary pins. If the pins are there, that wobbling is normal. It uses the counter weighted flybar to stabilize the upper rotors and keep them parallel with the ground Make sure the rotor head is wiggling only side to side NOT up and down, otherwise this will create an elliptical (egg shaped) oscillation that causes the blades to produce more lift on one side of the heli than the other, tipping the craft to the side of less lift. Best of luck!
Hey thanks Mr. Stewart.....I fixed this bird about year ago and have since move up to fixed pitched....I have a trex 450 pro but have not flown it yet. Thanks for the advice...
i can't rememer if my top prop used to be sturdy. lol. But if it was sturdy at on the time...it isn't anymore. Mine just spins clockwise like crazy - it isn't flyable. Where do I go to get flybar pins...? Any other thoughts on the spinning issue? I have already tried adjusting the trim...no dice.
@Bradock27DBZ - Hey thanks for your inquiry......To answer your qustion....yes...I did fix it with the help of these great answer......Now the way to fix the problem is really quite simple....look at the top rotor....if the fly bar is not attached.....just buy a new one for around $2.00 bucks.......buy a couple cause you will most likey break it again.....Good Luck.....Happy flying....
This happened to mine it was my first one i would turn it on the propellers would spin then when i give it more gas it would topple over so i took it apart the main shaft that spins the top propeller was bent its so small so i bought a t11 50cm just go bigger it will worth it not easy to break
@Hoarhound1 - Wow....15 copters.....why so many....but I did take your advice and I ordered two more S107s and a few extra parts.....I also ordered a 9100 and 9104.....before I break a more expensive model....I am gonna cut my teeth on these......thanks for the help.....
@WizqaaFizqaaPS3 - which batteries did you replace the ones in the transmitter or the one in the copter?...also, can you post a video demonstrating the problem?
mine did the same thing and seemed loose after i hit the celiing. Thankfully I am getting a refund and gettin a nwe one. My only guess is that the bar that holds the props and gears came loose. does your main rotor move up and down??? i can fly it in circles while trying to hover then it suddenly crashs. crap shoot with these buggas, fun as hell tho
@Pokedudegio0 - Hey thanks for the post Pokedudegio0.....It was'nt the carpet..it was the flybar connectors to the main shaft that broke during one of my many crashes....I had to buy another S107 to see the problem....I have made some mods (upgraded battery, wider rotors for main and tail). ...I fixed it and it flies great....I have move on to a four channel single rotor now and I am having a ball....Next is a T-rex 450.
You should try to buy the S107G which the G stands for Gyro. The Gyro will actually balance the heli out. You have to manually adjust the Normal S107. Hope this helps. Oh and I got it on Amazon brand new from Syma. Just hit me up if you have any questions.
okay this is the easy way 2 do it. being that most of u are new 2 this hobby.... go 2 the store buy a new one than take the one that dont work replace it in the box and return 2 the store keep the one that does best way 2 fix this cuz if u can't figure this out now taking apart n putt back you might as well just throw this in the trash
Well that is one way but I choose to fix the bird.....it was easy.....and I learned a lot from doing it that way.....I now have Align birds that are way more complicated but I can repair them because I made to choice to learn early how to do it. My Syma is now an office toy. Thanks for posting.....
Hey thanks for commenting bekosway....but I have to admit...I am a little confused by the post....what are you telling me?.....but just so you will know....the problem was the swashplate was broken.....it has been fix and is still flying.
Greetings futachamp...I would suggest you make a video that demonstrates the problem. With all the help from the youtube RC community, I was able to get my s107 back in the air.
Main problem is need flat surface and don't start fan . The helicopter need stable air for perfect take of. Then after no effect you change some spare parts!
Thanks Mr. Tisdale.....The problem was the connect buckles on the flybar broke and did not connect to the main shaft anymore.....I was a simple fix once I knew that the problem was.....
@fastblackbird - Man I wish that were so.....I actually went to FunCopter while I built the HK600.....Thats what I fly now....but to be real....The damn thing scared the hell out me at first....It's big, fast and loud as hell. I put stabilization on it to tame it down....I can fly backwards and inverted forward and backwards with the best of them but no real 3d yet.......funnny thing is the bigger the heli the easier tthey are to fly......I am building a F9F jet now.......see ya in the skies.
The syma s107 of course. If you have some flying time under your belt then I would look at the syma f106...its a four channel. That means as you progress to bigger copters the radio controls are the same until you go to a six channel then its a whole new ball game because of inverted flight. But the s107 and f106 are pretty tough and can take a few crashes but in the end, they all need repair at some point. Hope that helps.
I had this prob. umm and i just tried and tried and so your copter is tilting to the right try to tilt to the left if possible... i got my 4 channel to take off and fly because i pushed the throttle all the way up... i can tell you ur copters problem is not the blade and if ur screws are missing order ther. Check to make sure your liks are connected to the stableizer and rotor' if not thats ur prob then if not ur notch button is located on your remote controler (RC). hope that hellped...
I bought the bigger model (s031) and had the same issue and couldn't figure out why until I noticed that one of the connectors was still attached to the bar and the other was not connected to anything. The other had broken clean off. (I took a couple hard crashes learning to fly it.) My church had an "inexpensive RC helicopter" on their wish list for VBS. It's turned into a little more expensive since I had to order replacement parts. ;-D I also got the s107 which is a lot easier to fly.
My alloy rc helicopter 2.0 has the same prblem in uper blades .I saw the s107 helicoprer's parts in my online shopping app . Will the parts of s107 support on my alloy rc helicopter?
I also have the same problem, even now the motor it does'nt rotate the wings!! It does'nt move in speed also ! What's my problem ? Can anybody help me outta this?
I have that same helicopter, Mine starts(sometimes) and when that happens it goes off ground for about 2-inches, then falls and doesn't function, Can someone help me out

A flybar is the weighted bar on top of the top rotor. It allows helicopters to fly with stability. Hope that helps.

it could be that the screws below the propeller are a bit too loose so the thing just slips when they are spinning.

Thanks bro🖒🖒🖒
@TheBeatSmith thnx i just had to use that usb charger i was using the charger from the remote
No worries bergi85....I fixed the copter and moved on to bigger and deadlier birds....thanks for the look out...peace.
you are absolutely right....that indeed was the problem....
How did you fix it? Mine is doing the same
The bird has been fixed and flying nicely still after a year.. Its was a bad flybar. By the way....what are clips?
Hey BeatSmith, take a closer look at your upper rotorhead. notice how it pivots (or used to) on a set of two stationary pins. If the pins are there, that wobbling is normal. It uses the counter weighted flybar to stabilize the upper rotors and keep them parallel with the ground
Make sure the rotor head is wiggling only side to side NOT up and down, otherwise this will create an elliptical (egg shaped) oscillation that causes the blades to produce more lift on one side of the heli than the other, tipping the craft to the side of less lift.
Best of luck!
Hey thanks Mr. Stewart.....I fixed this bird about year ago and have since move up to fixed pitched....I have a trex 450 pro but have not flown it yet. Thanks for the advice...
No worries man, and Mr Stewart is my father lol.
Lets see that 450 once you get it airborne!
cheers!
Still flying your fixed S107 ? - I just got an s108 and its bloody funky as hell.
It's a 3 channel heil....the tail rotor only spins to go forward or backward. It will not spin while hovering or swinging the tail left or right?
sorry for being a bit late to the party, but have you checked your trim?
You're right it was those two little pins....I fixed it about six months ago and sold all my 3 channel birds.
You are right, it wasn't the connectors or (dogbones). Can you guess what it was?
Hey man i had this same problem... i just used a shoe box for the take off. the problem is the carpet getting caught on the landing gear.
i can't rememer if my top prop used to be sturdy. lol. But if it was sturdy at on the time...it isn't anymore. Mine just spins clockwise like crazy - it isn't flyable. Where do I go to get flybar pins...? Any other thoughts on the spinning issue? I have already tried adjusting the trim...no dice.
My Syma 107 starts to take off but it spins out of control. And my other syma will only go left and right! I need help.
@Bradock27DBZ - Hey thanks for your inquiry......To answer your qustion....yes...I did fix it with the help of these great answer......Now the way to fix the problem is really quite simple....look at the top rotor....if the fly bar is not attached.....just buy a new one for around $2.00 bucks.......buy a couple cause you will most likey break it again.....Good Luck.....Happy flying....
Just make sure if it's fully charged. I had that same problem and later I discovered the battery was not fully charged
This happened to mine it was my first one i would turn it on the propellers would spin then when i give it more gas it would topple over so i took it apart the main shaft that spins the top propeller was bent its so small so i bought a t11 50cm just go bigger it will worth it not easy to break
@Hoarhound1 - Wow....15 copters.....why so many....but I did take your advice and I ordered two more S107s and a few extra parts.....I also ordered a 9100 and 9104.....before I break a more expensive model....I am gonna cut my teeth on these......thanks for the help.....
I have the v388 and it's new but won't stay on or produce enough power to take off
@WizqaaFizqaaPS3 - which batteries did you replace the ones in the transmitter or the one in the copter?...also, can you post a video demonstrating the problem?
you are right.....thanks
mine did the same thing and seemed loose after i hit the celiing. Thankfully I am getting a refund and gettin a nwe one. My only guess is that the bar that holds the props and gears came loose. does your main rotor move up and down??? i can fly it in circles while trying to hover then it suddenly crashs. crap shoot with these buggas, fun as hell tho
@Pokedudegio0 - Hey thanks for the post Pokedudegio0.....It was'nt the carpet..it was the flybar connectors to the main shaft that broke during one of my many crashes....I had to buy another S107 to see the problem....I have made some mods (upgraded battery, wider rotors for main and tail). ...I fixed it and it flies great....I have move on to a four channel single rotor now and I am having a ball....Next is a T-rex 450.
my helicopter's engine doesn't start up and it just turns on and off repeatedly without actually spinning full rotations. how can I fix it?
So how did you fix it?
Is the knob on the controller turned to the middle?
You should try to buy the S107G which the G stands for Gyro. The Gyro will actually balance the heli out. You have to manually adjust the Normal S107. Hope this helps. Oh and I got it on Amazon brand new from Syma. Just hit me up if you have any questions.
Try change the gear or tighten the screw at the second rotor that connect the blade with the main shaft.
Thanks for the info....but I fixed the heli 5 years ago......I moved on the Align Trex 550 now.....
Look inside where the gears are, one might not be touching the others. I had the same prob, used a pin to push the gear back down and it work
hi guys I have a 330x blade , bought a DX6e spektrum and it won't get off the ground . when I throttle up it then to lean to the right side need help
okay this is the easy way 2 do it. being that most of u are new 2 this hobby.... go 2 the store buy a new one than take the one that dont work replace it in the box and return 2 the store keep the one that does best way 2 fix this cuz if u can't figure this out now taking apart n putt back you might as well just throw this in the trash
Well that is one way but I choose to fix the bird.....it was easy.....and I learned a lot from doing it that way.....I now have Align birds that are way more complicated but I can repair them because I made to choice to learn early how to do it. My Syma is now an office toy. Thanks for posting.....
Jionni Lex lol
Thank you.
Hey thanks for commenting bekosway....but I have to admit...I am a little confused by the post....what are you telling me?.....but just so you will know....the problem was the swashplate was broken.....it has been fix and is still flying.
Thanks mate...
@mexicanmachin92 - I don't understand your point....are you saying the copter is called "The Alloy Structure?"
Greetings futachamp...I would suggest you make a video that demonstrates the problem. With all the help from the youtube RC community, I was able to get my s107 back in the air.
Main problem is need flat surface and don't start fan . The helicopter need stable air for perfect take of. Then after no effect you change some spare parts!
I havethe same issue, almost. but I noticed the shaft was bent, since the heli goes backwards. It will not lift so the shaft might be bent on yours.
Thanks Mr. Tisdale.....The problem was the connect buckles on the flybar broke and did not connect to the main shaft anymore.....I was a simple fix once I knew that the problem was.....
+TheBeatSmith that is good to hear. I love these lil beasts. btw your vid skills will improve in time. just keep filming. 😃
Have you ever set your trim knob ,do you no how to center your trim
I have not flown this little bird in over 5 years.....I upgraded to a Trex 450 and now fly mainly UAVS.
i have the same problem with my rc helicopter did you fixed yours? can someone tell me how to fix mine.
@fastblackbird - Man I wish that were so.....I actually went to FunCopter while I built the HK600.....Thats what I fly now....but to be real....The damn thing scared the hell out me at first....It's big, fast and loud as hell. I put stabilization on it to tame it down....I can fly backwards and inverted forward and backwards with the best of them but no real 3d yet.......funnny thing is the bigger the heli the easier tthey are to fly......I am building a F9F jet now.......see ya in the skies.
LOL....Nah.....I fixed and it flew....I sold it along with all my syma copters......thanks for the comment.
The syma s107 of course. If you have some flying time under your belt then I would look at the syma f106...its a four channel. That means as you progress to bigger copters the radio controls are the same until you go to a six channel then its a whole new ball game because of inverted flight. But the s107 and f106 are pretty tough and can take a few crashes but in the end, they all need repair at some point. Hope that helps.
@Thebeatsmith thanks for replying fast ill look for the piece :)
I had this prob. umm and i just tried and tried and so your copter is tilting to the right try to tilt to the left if possible... i got my 4 channel to take off and fly because i pushed the throttle all the way up... i can tell you ur copters problem is not the blade and if ur screws are missing order ther. Check to make sure your liks are connected to the stableizer and rotor' if not thats ur prob then if not ur notch button is located on your remote controler (RC). hope that hellped...
I bought the bigger model (s031) and had the same issue and couldn't figure out why until I noticed that one of the connectors was still attached to the bar and the other was not connected to anything. The other had broken clean off. (I took a couple hard crashes learning to fly it.) My church had an "inexpensive RC helicopter" on their wish list for VBS. It's turned into a little more expensive since I had to order replacement parts. ;-D I also got the s107 which is a lot easier to fly.
My alloy rc helicopter 2.0 has the same prblem in uper blades .I saw the s107 helicoprer's parts in my online shopping app . Will the parts of s107 support on my alloy rc helicopter?
i have the exact same rc and problem, have u solved it?
@mexicanmachin92 - Ok...so are you saying the s107 now flies?
Thanks for the info....But no it was not the dogbone linkage...it was the flybar....it broke away from the main shaft.....
I had the same problem with minethe top needs to be replace and I had to grab my top of my old one and it took at least 10mins but it was worth it
The top blades have detached from the shaft. You can see the plastic stuck on the shaft and the blades come off
try getting a conecter buckle, it connects the balance bar the the blade
Thanks for the help but it was the flybar.....
I also have the same problem in my RC Copter
I also have the same problem, even now the motor it does'nt rotate the wings!! It does'nt move in speed also ! What's my problem ? Can anybody help me outta this?
lol....fixed it for $2.00 and save $18.....thanks for the comment.
@TheBeatSmith yes it flies now but mine is called the alloy structure
It's because the battery is almost died or drd just charge it and it be ready to go the battery lasts like a bit so yeah
@mexicanmachin92 - try charging it from the transmitter.
in mittle of the top blades what balances them is
loose!
Actually I only needed a new flybar....thanks for commenting...
I have that same helicopter, Mine starts(sometimes) and when that happens it goes off ground for about 2-inches, then falls and doesn't function, Can someone help me out
I have a little problem with my, simply seams to don't have power to fly, even with batery full charged.
