Drop checked my Syma off a tree into the ditch last night (ouch). left it to dry last night, all seems to work except...the little white gear that turns the prop is gone, thus one motor won't turn prop. looking at the diagram in the owners manual, looks like the gear is attached to the shaft...

! did not realize that the props were different. re-assembled with proper prop placement... LAUNCH!!! sure am glad I didn't try to re-solder all those wires! now I has a spare! (Snoopy dance)

I have a cheap Syma so I don't know all the tech details of what your unit can do. I do know that it doesn't take much wind to move mine around. as I understand it the 'leveling' gyro stuff helps keep it level (flat) but not necessarily in one place (hover).

my unit has buttons labeled 'fine tune'. when I first got it I used those to 'trim' it. it's hard for me to get a true hover--just the slightest air movement, even inside, moves it--but I can get acceptable hover-in-area. don't know if it's possible to get it where it sits and you can take...

was this new out of the box? defective means return/replace/refund. did you crash it or something? do identify the unit, that will help us troubleshoot.

I lost one in a tree behind my house so I feel your pain. if the lights started blinking before it dropped, I think means low power, so +1 on battery issues. I got one of those four batts / one charger, haven't tried yet.

for indoor use I'd definitely go with a little helo unit, I see they start at under $20. http://www.amazon.com/Syma-S107-S107G-Helicopter-Colors/dp/8499000606/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1439395224&sr=8-3&keywords=rc+helicopter (I am not affiliated with Amazon, Syma, etc.)

personally I'd keep away from water (and electric wires. and neighbors with Dobermans.) my unit (Syma X5C) has a down-pointing camera and I have to take that into account. great for showing off the house. to get a horizon shot over the trees I find I can pitch back just as I take the pic...

lost my first unit. second unit arrived--two motors run backwards! company offered me refund and didn't ask for return so I still has unit. is there an easy fix to this? switch wires maybe? (I don't solder too well). anyone know if there is such a thing as a reverse propeller for these?

'built in rechargeable battery' so you can't change batts on this one?

I'm okay You're okay
