Worth the $$$ - Missing Spare Blades

Syma S108G Marines Force Gyro R/C Helicopter
Syma S108G Marines Force Gyro R/C Helicopter

Pros: Fun to fly, easy for a novice flyer like myself. Appears to be very stable in hovering. Blades are durable; I've bounced it off the ceiling, floor, and every piece of furniture between and it has still held up. Definitely worth the $20 I paid for it and I'm looking to buy another one.

Cons: You have to readjust the trim as the battery wears down. Not sure about the long term life of the battery, it could be me but I seem to get less flight time now than I did originally. Not as fast moving forward as I would like.

Overall Review: Another guy at the office bought the same model on the same day... his came with spare blades, mine were missing. Mine arrived 2 days later than his, inconsistent shipping by UPS (wish NewEgg still had FedEx as primary shipper).

Most Critical Review

Beware, No Ink!

Pros: Functions as advertised.

Cons: The box says ink included, but no ink came with printer. This is the first time I have ever received a printer w/o ink.

Overall Review: product is available on other websites for $30 including shipping and both ink cartridges. This equates to a much better deal than the $20 + $36 additional for ink that I just paid, so shop around.

Great Scale

Pros: This is a great no-frills scale. You just step on the scale and it tells you exactly what you need to know. The scale deck is very large, my son wears a size 15 shoe and his feet fit no problem. The backlit display is huge and easy to read, which means I don't need to put on my glasses to read.

Cons: none

Not the Best Available Copter

S013 Black Hawk Remote Control RC Helicopter
S013 Black Hawk Remote Control RC Helicopter

Pros: It flies, its durable, and its cheap entertainment. It seems to fly a little longer between chargers than my others, perhaps because its smaller/lighter.

Cons: Trim is impossible to adjust. It requires constant attention. Not only does it have to be adjusted as the battery goes down, but every time change the throttle (starts to spin if you let off or increase throttle).

Overall Review: I have 2 other models from this brand. This is the only model with difficulty in adjusting trim. I wouldnt recommend this model, but the others are lots of fun.

DOA

USB Travel / Wall / AC Charger Adapter for Apple iPhone 4 / iPhone 4S

Pros: none

Cons: not sure how a company can mess up something so simple, but sure enough, item arrived DOA. My son went to charge his iPhone and imagine the disappointment.

Overall Review: Because of situations like this, inexpensive items should be bought at local stores as return shipping is more than item value. Just not worth the trouble. Learn from my experience.
