I just got a new syma s107 and it flew just fine for a few minutes then slowly started descending and now it won't lift off the floor. Everything is spinning when I push the throttle up and it will glide forwards, backwards, left and right across the floor, just won't ascend into the air. Any help?

I was flying my syma s800g and hit the ceiling fan chain. When I attempted to fly it would spin and fall over. The problem was I broke the two small plastic pins on the top rotor holder. Ordered a new top rotor and flies fine. Then on my s107 I flew into a door and the top rotor had zero spin although the motors worked. In that case the screw that sets the top rotor onto the middle shaft loosened resulting in no lift and also tilted and fell over. This was fixed by securing the set screw properly. So in both instances it was similar effects due to the top rotors not spinning in sync with lower blades.
I may be out of my area of expertise on this one, but it is possible to install the blades backward? That would cause the copter to try to go downward with the normal rotor rotation....just a friendly suggestion.
Make sure the drive shaft is seated properly. Gently, but firmly push it down towards the body both above and below bottom rotor. Also check shaft for any hair, thread or such thing that may be wrapped around it.
Let me know if you're still having issues, and we'll dig a little deeper.
Seems like your controller is not working. Try to change its batteries. With new batteries try the following: 1. Turn the controller ON. Wait until green light stops blinking. 2. Turn the helicopter ON. 3. Give it throttle few times until it starts working.
Sometimes controller can still work even if has a blinking light. But these cases are very rare.
About 5 minutes. Check if gears are not too tight together. If it's OK, then one rotor is working slower than the other one, and because of that, S107 can't lift off ground.
you should have charged your heli BEFORE 1st flight.......anyway,,plug computer end of usb charge cord into computer......turn heli OFF....before you plug cord into heli look at computer end of cord,, should be bright red light inside......now plug other end of cord into heli.....bright red light goes out! when heli is fully charged bright light on computer end of cord comes back on......disconnect heli right away.....if left on charge your battery could wear out....it takes about 50-60 minutes
Assuming the battery is fully charged, the shaft could be dry, purchase a WD-40 pen, they
have a magic marker type tip that dispenses controlled amounts of lube by pressing the tip
on a surface to get a drop then use a toothpick to put a small amount on the rotor shaft top
and bottom. I did that to mine and the shaft spins a lot smoother.
Mine always lifted off with no problem, but it got the gitters and and would drop a few feet
now and then. after I oiled the shaft the gitters went away.
Give it a try. John.
Had the same problem - the rotors would spin but the helicopter would not take off. Finally tried tightening both screws on the piece just below the Balance bar. I tightened one of the screws about 1/8 turn, and now it works great.
