Q. I am currently temporarily disabled and was looking at small RC helicopters to entertain me. So far, all of the small ones that I have seen use a rechargeable battery that has a ~2:1 charge to flight time and seem to lose their capacity fairly quickly. I am looking for a helicopter that uses a button cell battery rather than a rechargeable one. Another alternative would be if it would be safe to modify one of those cheap helis to use a button cell.
Answer
as far as i'm concerned, a buttom cell does not provide and it will never provide enough power to lift a helicopter out of the ground. (we're both talking about toy helis right?)
you might modify one helicopter and you COULD get the blades to spin but i doubt that you'll get it to fly. it is worth a try with 3 buttom cells.
I would try with 3,4 or 5 buttom cells connected in series so when the drop off voltage kicks in, the heli flies at least for 10 seconds with no problems......

RC HELICOPTER EXPERTS!! THIS QUESTION IS FOR YOU!?
Q. I just ordered a Syma S108. They look very fun and cooler than the S107. What your opinion? Should I have bought the S107 for $22 or the S108 for $30?
Thanks God Bless.
Thanks God Bless.
Answer
i have never heard of this model however after looking up the model i can tell you this they are both mini / micro helicopters.
these micro helicopters are ones that are marketed towards people who are new and or just want a cheap helicopter to try out the hobby without sinking much cash on a helicopter. its also smaller and can be used in small spaces compared to full size helicopters. this model should be easy to fly due to its design.
in terms of s 107 vs s 108 they are pretty much the same and you would not see much difference.
the 107 has a larger battery though and could fly for a few minutes longer.
i would say the s108 is a good choice if your only spending like $30
is this your first helicopter?
if its your first helicopter and later your interested in something more challenging or larger you could go with something like what i did for my first RC helicopter that was above the lower entry level. if your interested in something priced a little higher but could perform better.
this is what i did with my first helicopter.
I own a thunder tiger mini titan e325 3d its electric and i found it easy to assemble( having never done it before)
i liked it and with help learned to fly using it.
you can find this helicopter at many sites
tower hobbies is a good place to buy from
http://www.towerhobbies.com/#
theirs lots of other places you could buy from too.
i would go with electric to start off. gas can be more complicated.
word of advice don't just buy the helicopter find someone willing to teach you how to do it without destroying it.
sometimes they can even help you set it up.
local RC clubs may be able to help you get more info on the hobby.
trust me get help learning so that you don't crash.
its a great hobby and once you learn can be great fun!
so the 107 and 108 are not to different. i wo
