    I have a small squadron of mini helicopters and this one is by far the best so far. I read great reviews of the Syma S107. I was quite pleased with it compared to some of the older Syma models. Then I saw the positive reviews for this and thought I would give it a go. It flies incredibly well! Quiter than the other seven helicopters I have and so stable, smooth, and responsive. It is a little slow with forward and reverse momentum, but not bad. Slow is easier to control…maybe that was intentional. We fly these every day in the office and this hands down outperforms everthing else.
    For those comparing models, here you go:
    Syma S109 Apache- Excellent
    Syma S105G (Sport Helicopter) Very Good -Fastest, stable, but somewhat loud, durable metal frame
    Syma S107G- (Sport Helicopter) Very good- nearly identical to S105 but a little slower, different scheme,older?
    Syma S026 Chinook- Looks cool, flies ok, but hard to control. Too much power for its weight; ‘Cieling magnet’
    Syma S013 Black Hawk- Horrible! Very light, spins uncontrollably, fragile
    Syma S013 Apache- See S013 Black Hawk review. (friend purchased this one to join the fun: nothing but regrets)

    Heard the S108G Cobra is good too but haven’t tried it. My deployment to Iraq is almost over, so I probably won’t be buying any more toys.

    UPDATE after a year and a half of owning and flying this. Amazingly, still going strong after all this time, and still using original battery! Has to be the best toy value around. One very easy mod to make your heli move a little faster (forward), is to get some solder, and wrap a few coils around the nose at the very tip (don’t block the IR sensor though, so be careful if you add weight using something else, like a coin as some people do). The way the model is shipped, is too light in the front, IMO, because (at least for mine), I could go quite a bit faster BACKWARD than I could forward. To add some forward collective speed at the slight loss of some agility, I highly recommend adding a little weight, so that you can still go backwards, but just barely. On a side note, I enjoyed flying this micro copter so much, I bought it’s big BIG brother, the Syma 023G, so I could fly outdoors (RF instead of IR allows this to happen). Love that one as well, and has the exact same mechanics (but with additional tail rotor boost). http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S023G-Apache-Military-Helicopter/dp/B0057PEB2G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353080357&sr=8-1&keywords=syma+s023

    What a difference a gyro makes! Incredible…I tried one of the 1st gen micro R/C copters (no gyro on those) not long after they came out, and found them to be extremely difficult to control and not much fun because of it.

    This generation with the gyro is just amazing though…SO stable, SO easy – but not boring. There is still a learning curve for complete R/C noobies that will make this a great first R/C copter, but I look at it almost like a challenge…trying to master this little beast is FUN!

    This also actually looks like a real helicopter, compared to the ones I bought previously, which looked like….well like R/C copters – completely unrealistic.

    The LED lights are awesome so you can fly at night (my kids LOVE that – the dog…not so much), and the thing even seems to behave like a real helicopter, with ground effect and having to reduce speed (thrust?) to tilt forward (I am no pilot or physicist, but I do know that the previous models I tried did not give me any kind of sense of “this thing FEELS like I am flying a real helicopter!”)

    Gonna stop now because I sound like I work for the company (not even sure who the company is actually, but whoever it is, they sorely need an English native to write the English part of the instruction manual!)

    Can’t recommend this enough. Easy easy 5 stars.

    FYI if you are interested in modding your Syma (specifically, the cheap, easy and awesome tail rotor mod that makes it faster and more agile), you should buy the model that looks like the R/C copter (107G I believe). Found this out the hard way, but I still prefer this one for the looks. Video of the mod results: [...]

    I own two other indoor helicopters that I purchased for three to four times as much money at the mall. This is the helicopter that has the best control out of all of them. I can land this thing on a soda can and fly circles around my wives head (my favorite part, especially when she is watching stupid tv shows like the Kardashians). This is the absolute best gift for any male you know. My 8 year old can fly it. Cant say enough about what you get for the price. I also love the silly Engwish warnings printed on the props.

    This review is from: Leviton 102-47605-28W 28″ Structured Media Enclosures with Cover (Tools & Home Improvement)
    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

    In my home I have every room (and sometimes multiple connections per room) wired for ethernet as that allows for a faster home network than available with wi-fi. This is great for speed, however becomes very messy in the basement where all the wires come together. The same goes for telephone and cable wires. This is where a structured media enclosure such as this one: Leviton 47605-28W SMC Structured Media Enclosure with Cover, 28-Inch, White and the patch panel: Leviton 476TM-512 Twist and Mount Patch Panel, 12 CAT 5e Ports come in handy. The enclosure let’s you run all of the wires into it through holes (there are multiple holes at the top that can be knocked out) then you wire each of the ethernet cables into the patch panel. This let’s you make it easy to identify which connections go to a given room and then short ethernet cables would go from the patch panel to your router.

    Additional modules are available from Leviton for providing power to the enclosure as well so that the routers could be mounted inside (though if you had a wi-fi router, you probably wouldn’t want to enclose it in a metal box). In addition you’d probably want to purchase a roll of ethernet cable and a tool kit like this: DataShark 70016 Network Bundle with Universal Stripper, All-in-One Data/Phone Tool, Non-Impact 110 Punchdown tool, and 10 RJ11 Plugs, to help you punch down the wires into the back of the patch panel (as the small plastic punchdown tool that comes with the panel is okay for a few times, but gets uncomfortable after a while). With the tools and your own roll of wire you can make short lengths that you need relatively cheaply.

    What’s the drawback to all of this? Price! If you have 15+ or more ethernet connections, lots of cable wires and phone lines, this can start to look ugly pretty quickly and a setup like this can help make it neater. Buying it after a house is constructed can make it feel pretty expensive, so if this can be included during the construction of a home or an office space it is probably the ideal time. If all you have are 5-10 ethernet wires, this is probably overkill. Get the Data Shark tool put ends on each of your wires and plug them directly into a router. To help you correctly label the wires (both in the case of the structured panel and the straight to the router case) get a cable tester like this: TRENDnet Cable Tester 10/100 COAX and TP ( TC-NT2 ) and a labeler and label each of the wires. Going the route of directly plugging into a router doesn’t mean that everything has to look ugly, you can still put it in an enclosure, tie-downs can be used to run the wire neatly and the routers can be mounted on the wall.

    If you are getting an installation done in new construction or are putting in wiring for the first time (self or professional) and I haven’t scared you off with the variety of tools that can help, then I would recommend getting setup with a structured media panel since it makes it easier to keep things organized and neat. The ones from Leviton are well built and I’ve been using components from them for a decade without any hassles or problems.

    As a professional installer, if you have enough wiring to justify getting one of these boxes (or if you just want to have neater cables and equipment), do yourself a favor and get a 19″ wall-mount equipment rack instead. I install structured wiring in homes, and in most cases, if you have room for an in-wall enclosure, you have room for a small rack. Racks come in lots of sizes in both height and depth (search amazon for “wall mount rack”) to fit anyone’s needs.

    In my experience, racks *always* make for neater and easier to maintain wiring. Structured media enclosures, no matter the manufacturer or size, just don’t give you enough room. Installers can do a good job of making these boxes *look* neat, but that only lasts until your first upgrade. In my experience, these boxes *always* end up a mess.

    It also doesn’t help that the modules made for these boxes–such as cable splitters, Ethernet switches, and telephone distribution blocks–are usually overpriced, have a limited number of ports, and are incompatible (mounting-wise) between manufacturers. A Leviton module can’t be easily mounted in an On-Q box (or vice versa).

    19″ racks are a standard size, and it’s easy to find equipment and hardware that can be mounted in them. Manufacturer doesn’t matter.

    Here’s how I recommend that you (or your installer) set up your structured wiring closet:

    Paint a large piece of 3/4″ plywood to match your wall color and then mount it to the wall. Buy a rack and mount it to the plywood. Mount a long power strip vertically next to the rack. If your home has Ethernet, get a rack-mount patch panel to terminate your ethernet, a rack-mount gigabit Ethernet switch, and some Ethernet patch cables. Get a rack-mount shelf for your router (shelves come in different depths and heights. Make sure that the shelf you buy fits your rack).

    If you have centralized coax, get an 8-port amplified cable TV signal splitter if you have cable, or an 8-port satellite signal splitter if you have satellite. Mount this to your plywood backing.

    If you have centralized phone, get a 66 block and mount it to the plywood backing. If you ran your phone over cat5e (and if all of your jacks are rj-45), you can make a nice phone distribution system using a second patch panel like the one linked above. This gives you the added flexibility of very easily deciding which ports in your home should be Ethernet, and which should be phone, and also allows you to change your mind later.

    Finally, get some Velcro fastening tape to neaten up your wires. Don’t use zip-ties, as they make any future re-wires or changes difficult, and can damage your cables if over-tightened.

    A rack may seem like overkill, but trust me, you will be saving yourself a lot of pain down the line.

    I give this box two stars, because if you are truly pressed for space, and your wiring is in a visible location, these boxes are better than nothing. Otherwise, a plain sheet of plywood might be a better choice. There is a decent selection of add-on modules, and the box itself is of decent construction.

    Good Day,

    Thank you for your feedback. Use of a 19″ wall mount solution is an option for structured wiring solutions, and it has associated pros/cons compared to using a flush mount enclosure. What is really going to drive your installation decision is the type of equipment you are using for each application and the location designated for the install. Active gear mounted on 19″ racks are very different systems and applications serving a different consumer or even commercial market. Many customers put the enclosure in a central location in the home where an aesthetically pleasing flush mount enclosure is required to conceal the structured wiring components. Leviton also offers a universal mounting plate (47612-CBK) that is design to be installed into other enclosures and mount our modules. In addition, Leviton offers a range in enclosure sizes (14″, 21″, 28″ and 42″) to help with the organization and wire management.

    Senior Director, Leviton

    Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)

    This is a beefy enclosure for home networking base stations, like modems, routers, and phone distribution centers.

    It has punch outs for multiple lines in/out.

    In newer houses (post 1970) it will fit nicely between a pair of studs 16 inches on center studs (which have an insides space of about 14.5 inches.

    The spec in the product description are incomplete:
    - The Exterior Measurements on the Box are 14.3125 inches Wide and 3.75 inches deep and 28.25 inches high.
    - The Interior Measurements inside the Box are .125 inches less all around.
    - Door is 15.625 wide and 29.5 high, is has holes to screw it into the box and you don’t have to unscrew the panel to get it off, you just lift up and pull forward.

    For the price, I would like to have seen a hinge on the door, rather than just screws.
