Syma s107g Modified for Speed

I’m assuming many of you are familiar with these toy helicopters. I think this is about as much fun as someone (nerdy) can have for $20. Here you can see a photo of mine after I modified it for speed 🙂

I removed all the tail decorations and supports as well as flipping the tail rotor upside down. This resulted in a dramatically improved forward rate of speed as well as some forward drift. I actually like a little forward drift but some people don’t.

I supposed if you wanted to eliminate the drift you could try and shift some weight toward the rear of the helicopter.
