The Syma 003 is a great scale model of one of the most famous helicopters. The attention to detail for such a low priced model is excellent. The helicopter is made from strong plastic which can withstand most crashes but should anything break the simple design makes replacing parts very easy. It is a twin blade co-axial heli that makes it easy to fly which along with the strong structure make it perfect for beginners.

The Lama comes in a nice window display box which makes it a great gift. The transmitter and UK battery charger are included in the box. There are two versions of this helicopter on the market but this is the better one with upgraded Li-polymer battery which gives more power for better flight and a longer flight time.

The stick style transmitter is 3 channel so you can go up / down, forward / backward and rotate left and right. The controls have trims for fine tuning and setup. Forward and backward movement is enabled by a separate tail motor and blade that angles the helicopter forward and backward and therefore pushes it in that direction.
