 Best 3channel Helicopter EVER !!!!Mar 14, 2011
By wmligon
I have been trying to learn how to fly rc helicopters now for 1 year. I have at least 14 broken heli's around my house, but now I have a lot of experience, and I can fly a 4ch. So, anybody who is wanting to get started flying rc helicopters, here's is a few pointers that I can pass on to you.
1. Start out with a Syma s107 3 ch. this is hands-down the best 3ch heli, very accurate.
2. Next heli would be a Mini-X 6025, this is a tiny 4"long, 3ch heli. These little heli's are extremely accurate, cute, and so much fun to fly.
3. Now, the Double Horse "Hover" 3ch 9100 Helicopter. These heli's are a little harder to fly, but with a little practise you will get-it. This is actually a 3ch collective- pitch heli. Now after you can fly this heli with confidence ,, you will be good enough to move up to just about any 4ch co-axial heli, which is a 4ch heli with the double-blades.
Esky Big Lama 4ch is a great heli for out-side to fly. Blade MCX is a good 4ch to start out with inside. I sincerely hope some of this experience will help someone else that is getting started in the rc heli's. Good Luck!!! and have fun.

Pretty much the most advancedFeb 09, 2011
By Joshua M. Sterling

This is the most advanced and forward thinking 3 channel heli I have ever flown. Great responsiveness and it even banks like a four channel heli. Great build quality and design. I am very excited about this heli....ordered another one today. Only down side is that this model is brand new so product support such as parts are going to be a lot harder to find. Like what I have seen so far when flying it. Trim levels are easy enough to adjust and the hovering on this model is very stable for a single blade configuration. The speed on this thing is definitely past what any other three channel has to offer. The characteristics are far more like a 4 channel with servos that affect the pitch of the blades, vs every other 3 channel that is fixed blade and usually a coax/ double blade configuration.
I would not recommend this heli to someone who has never flown a rc helicopter. Start with another Syma Heli, there is a mini s107, regular double horse which is roughly the same size as this one and the volitation which is 26 inches, a fairly large heli. The volitation is great for beginners as well as the s107. I own both and they provide a stable platform to work with while learning to control rc choppers. Both don't take kindly to light winds, but besides that they are great to fly. All syma's have lights found throughout the frame of the chopper. Night flying with any of these models has to be my favorite pastime. I hope you enjoy this addictive hobby and happy flying regardless of what ever model you choose.

Ok for the priceMar 26, 2011

Just bought one of these 9100's and the S107 coaxial. The S107 is super simple to fly and rock stable. If you're looking for a heli to play around with indoors, and have never flown one, the S107 is hard to beat. It's durable and capable of precision flight. I have it at work and store it on top of my computer. I can fly it off and land it back to the same place. Lots of fun.
The 9100 will fly but it is a little more tricky to control. It's very fast and responsive, which usually means not a good trainer. Once you can stay ahead of it, it's pretty smooth flying. Regarding it pulling left on take off, mine does that too. The way to take off is just give it enough power to overcome the left tendency. And turn (right) away from the direction it's pulling as soon as airborne. It takes a bit of getting used to, but I can hover with this one and fly simple patterns with it. For first flights, make sure to have plenty of room, like a 50' X 50' area and about 12' high. Hovering stable takes a bit of trimming to achieve. But even once airborne, that left pulling tendency shows up intermittently. Just have to
watch for it and compensate for it on inputs. From what I've read, the left pulling is common with 3-channel heli's. I read somewhere they are coming out with a newer version that addresses the problem. Watch the 9100 intro on youtube and you can plainly see it favoring left.

 Durability and PerformanceMay 15, 2011
By rrlouis
The Double Horse SM 9100 single blade helicopter is a good choice to enter the outdoor helicopter market after you have flown those smaller indoor copters, like the S107. Also, this is a decent copter to transition from double co-axial blade helicopters into the more realistic single rotor copters. On take-off, the 9100 tends to pull a little to one side, but this can be overcome with just a little practice. I found that the twin decoration bars that support the tail bar and the associated plastic connect parts for that are the first to break if you have a moderate crash. Getting those parts can be tough, but they are out there on the net. The main rotor blades are remarkably tough and have taken a beating and not cracked or broken. However, the body cover is very thin and will crack easily if it hits the ground on the nose or collides with anything. The weighted gyro-bar on top of the main blade will come into contact with the tail bar and dent it. I found that by taping a small padded square at the point of contact prevents further denting. On my copter, the swash-plate servo seems to have malfunctioned after three weeks. When I transmit forward motion to the helicopter, the servo shifts upward and then flutters so that the copter does not get smooth fluid forward thrust. I tried to trim this with the transmitter, but cannot get the servo to perform again like it did when the copter was new. I don't know if I damaged this servo in a crash, or if it just went bad. I plan to purchase a replacement servo, since I like this copter. When working well, the copter is fast and very good for a 3 channel. Actually, I like the three channel performance since I am not good enough yet to handle side-to-side movement well on the more advanced copters. This copter is a stable transition from indoor to outdoor copters.

Great Helicopter!!!May 14, 2011
By RTF Extreme
Last March, I started flying with the Double Horse 9053 Volitation and within three weeks of flying, I wanted a fixed pitch helicopter without putting a dent in my wallet. I researched the Double Horse 9100 and found that it is the best and only 3 channel helicopter on the market. I read great reviews on it, so I bought one of these from Amazon.com and am very glad I did. After adjusting the trims on it, it flew great out of the box. This thing is fast and handles as if it is a 4-channel helicopter.
I did find that it is a little fragile though. There was an incident where I was flying in light winds and the helicopter started coming towards my face. I caught it in mid-air while the throttle was on and the balance bar cut into the canopy, causing damage to the circuit board. Not a problem! I had to order the circuit board from China and the canopy locally in the US. I soldered the new board on and replaced the canopy and I was flying again in no time. There are spare parts available from suppliers in the US, but if you need a new system board, it will most likely be from China as I haven't found a vendor locally.
I highly recommend this helicopter for the novice pilot. I like it so much, I bought another one! For the price, it's well worth the $56.00 I spent!
Thanks for reading!
