Bullet, Are you saying that your S107 is doing TBE circle when it hovers, and it is flying faster than before? However, is it less stable than before, as if it likes to swing and pendulum before it settles down?
A wild guess, really. But I think you might have broken a pin in the rotor head. Because of it, the upper blades and the flybar that is linked to it, is enjoying a bit of more freedom that they were intended to have. Therefore, the heli is pitching more forward, flying faster than it should be. But the downside is that the flybar can't stabilize the heli and it is giving you the TBE.
If you like, you could take apart the upper blade grip to examine the pins in the rotor head that support and restrict the movements. My guess is that you might find what's in the picture below.

So far the S107G that was purchased off Amazon from X-Heli flies excellent, but after landing and falling over, it did exibit the TBE. Not hovering, but doing a 5 foot wide swirl. Upon inspecting the main rotors, I found that one rotor hinge was slightly tight. Simply excersizing that pivot point a couple of times fixed the problem. Make sure that the main blade pivots are VERY free to turn and no binding is present.
Thanks all that responded to my question of what "CHA" means. I will copy & paste your valuable binding instructions (and their not even in CHINGLISH), a Christmas without too much chinglish is good
Still interested in trying the PCB in other mini helis.
Have a great day!

I flew the S107 inside, behind me, with the transmitter in front of me, facing away from the heli.
Everything works.
Took it outside.
In the shade of the car port, it flies, until the line-of-sight from the transmitter to the receiver is interfered with.. then it crashes.
Out in the direct sunlight, that all-band IR source immobilizes it.

S105/S107 Canopy/Battery Mod
Dear S107 Owners,
You are owners of one of the best 3-channel helicopters that have ever been made. I'm sure that many of you have wished that there was a simple solution to extend the flight time beyond 5 minutes. Many attempts have been made, but my friend, Daryoon, has recently published a mod that I think is the best solution I have seen so far. Unfortunately, by the time the video has finished uploading, you might have already missed it. So this announcement mostly serves as a bump to his posts. I hope that you all get a chance to review, comment, and adopt his ideas.
What is so special about this mod? I like this mod because it addresses two key problems at the same time. First, it is a battery upgrade mod. With it, you could simply unplug the depleted battery, insert a fully charged battery, perhaps give the motor a brief moment to cool down, then keep flying. It uses the space inside of the canopy. It does not change the CoG. It provides the flexibility of charging a whole bunch of hobby grade batteries with your external charger. At the same time, it preserves the on-board recharging function. It does not add extra weight to the helicopter. With one Parkzone connector, you could use a dozen different brands/sizes of battery of your choice.
Secondly, it addresses the removing and replacing canopy issue. The "removable battery" idea is not original. It has been attempted many times before. However, most of these attempts stopped short of the canopy issue. Most of you know that gaining access to the inside of the canopy is a pain. You need a small size screw driver to remove the two screws. They are easy to lose. Then when are done, you have to use tools to reverse the process. As a result, most battery mods involves a battery hanging below the helicopter body, on the skid or something. The canopy mod gives you a simple way to remove and replace the canopy with no tools required. It's quick, but it is not flimsy. It is very secure. The canopy will not become undone during flights or dare I say, crashes? You do not need to cut into the canopy.
By combining these two mods, you have a quick access to the battery compartment. You could quickly replace the battery and minimize wait time. After the mod, it looks virtually the same as the original stock.
I hope that you would enjoy these ideas, apply them to your own situations. Let us know of your own improvements. Let make our beloved S107 even better than it is.

I am hooked but have TBE with my new Syma 107 after the second flight....!
I usually post in the scratchbuild forum but winter forces me inside and I love these micro helis.
Crashed it from 15 feet onto hardwood floor and I have TBE of about 3 foot circles
I will try the following as suggested above;
1. Check battery, make secure
2. Check ball linkages
3. take apart and reassemble upper rotor and flybar (any pointers on this would be helpful)
If anyone can offer other advice I would be very grateful. My four year old sond and I miss flying our new toy!!
Thank you....Beemus

I enjoy flying my 2 Syma S107G,a Syma S109G, a Udi U807G, and an E-flite Blade MSr (a real Hobby grade 2.4 GHz indoor-outdoor Chopper). I think alternating 3 or 4 of these little helicopters helps cool the batteries and motors between flights, as well as keeps you flying if one breaks down.
I suggest you order at least 2 more helicopters and some spare blades and motors. If you can find an Aldi's grocery store near you they may still have a few of the S107G clones that were on sale there 3 weeks ago. My store still had a few at $24.99 las week.

PS An additional check on your helicopter would be to check the blades and blade grips. I have tamed the erratic flight of a few of mine by making sure the blades are not overly loose or tight in those blade holders. I do this by screwing the blade holder screws in until the blades are just bareley snug, then loosen the screws just a touch until the blades can slide forward and back freely again. Too tight or too loose can cause some eratic flight, and remember to check all 4 blades.

Bianco antico is in. More backsplash help needed.
We are overjoyed to be using our kitchen a little bit and how it is turning out.
You can see I've photocopied and taped 4x12 subway tiles and 4x4 acccent tiles up for backsplash consideration.
The basketweave mosaic on the sample board is a serious contender right now. With the granite in, I feel like a horizontal border about 4" up from the counter could be really nice.
Love to hear any and all thoughts! Thanks!
Everything looks beautiful so far, and I'm sure what ever you choose the result will be lovely. I am not a fan of the 4" border concept. It reminds me of the 4" laminate bs of yesteryear. I love the subway tile. I'm not sure which mosaic you think of as the basketweave, but you might want to consider using the small stone square mosaic with the large central pewter accent (just to the right of the stove) in a rectangle with a border/frame around it above the stove. You'll want to think about the spacing of the accent tiles - 4 as you have them, or 6 (mimics the burners) or three in the center. It's hard to know without tile dimensions but you'll figure it out. The image below from stonecontact gives an idea of what I'm thinking.
I LOVE the basket weave mosaic!!!! Could you pls post some pics of your finished kitchen? I would love to see it complete with the backsplash!! Looking great!

Along with a few other independent booksellers and librarians, Karl Pohrt—owner of the amazing Shaman Drum Bookshop in China for the Beijing Book Fair, where he'll be giving this speech on independent bookselling in America.

"Things develop ceaselessly."—Mao Zedong
We roll out at 8 a.m. this morning. The weather has turned significantly colder and this was not a Blue Sky Day.
We were scheduled today to visit four bookshops in the greater Beijing area, and on our way to the first store we stopped for photo ops near the Beijing Olympic Stadium. This breathtaking structure looks like a landing site for alien interplanetary spaceships. I prefer the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests in Tiantan Park.
Our first stop was the Beijing Shuimu branch of the O2 Sun Bookstore. It's located on a corner, so the store's visibility to its customers is excellent. There is a beautiful little coffee shop on the second floor, and it has an interesting stationary section. Our info packets contain the following charming description:
An urban living bookstore calls for 'pleasant reading', a café fills with cappuccino, a small resting dak appeases your soul. Whatever intent you come to here with, you can breathe the fresh 02 from the photosynthesis. The bookstore doing books about 'language, walk, and communication', and it is also has the yellow sun flower and warm lamplight.
Next stop was the All Sages Bookstore and Thinker's Café Bar, located on Chengfu Street outside the east gate of Beijing University. This is an awesome academic bookstore, one of the best I've seen anywhere in the world. The exterior signage is incredibly minimal, and one would not guess what a jewel is here from the street entrance.
After we look around the store a bit, we're introduced to Suli Liu, the store's owner and founder. Mr. Suli invites us to tea in the Thinker's Café, and we quickly get into a conversation comparing the book business in China and the United Stastes. We are joined by Xue Ye, President of the China Private Book Industry Committee, an organization that sounds somewhat like the American Booksellers Association (if I understand Mr. Xue correctly). Xue Ye is an intense man with a good sense of humor. He vibrates with energy.
Suli Liu has decorated the walls of the Thinker's Café with photographs of bookstores, and we are all enormously pleased to see a picture of City Lights there. Paul poses with Suli Liu for a photo.
Our packet included the following information:
The name of All Sages originated from the western ghost festival-Halloween, the antetype of the bookstore's logo, blue devil in Indian devil mask. However, with public's mouth-to-ear transmitting, the meaning of "ten thousand sages" is more appropriate to the bookstore, "I prefer to understand it as 'ten thousand sages,' all these ten thousand sages are authors in All Sages Bookstore's bookshelves, and I am one of readers who get benefits from these sages," Xichuan, Chinese poet said. So, the English name of the bookstore changes from "Halloween" previous to "All Sages Bookstore" now.
After lunch, we visit the Beijing Books Building, a huge eight floor state-owned bookstore located in a bustling downtown neighborhood that reminds me of midtown Manhattan. We decide this must be the biggest bookstore in the world, until someone tells us there is a larger store in a southern Chinese city. The store is packed with people and seems to have everything, including most of the recent American bestselling non fiction titles, which have been translated into Chinese.
From our packet:
The prosperous customers flow over a long period, the outstanding sales in the book industry, all these help Beijing Books Building stabilize its No.1 status in the domestic book retail selling market. Its sales plan always becomes the vane of domestic book popularity and the information origin for domestic publishing houses which they have to think a lot of as well.
We end our tour at the Beijing Sanlian Taofen Bookstore, another absolute jewel of a bookshop. Rick has friends in Seattle who told him not to miss this place. The info packet tells us:
If you like books about social science and human culture, it is a perfect choice of going to the Sanlian Taofen Bookstore. Beijing Sanlian Taofen Bookstore is one of the most favorite bookstores for many youth who love literature. This bookstore is a best place for free reading, and "reading in stairs" is a specialty of it.
We meet with Zeng Jun, the manager of Sanlian Taofen, a calm and gracious lady who is proud of the long history of the store. Sanlian Taofen has some kind of institutional affiliation with the Chinese Communist Party, if I understood Ms. Zeng correctly. The logo of the store, a stylized image of three workers, is based on a Soviet design.
Although I like nothing more than visiting independent bookshops, sleep deprivation is catching up with me and I begin to feel ill after our banquet dinner. I worry that I'll vomit on the bus back to the hotel, but I make it. Then I'm sick. Then I go to bed.
Pedro Zarraluki's The History of Silence (trans. Nick Caistor and Lorenza García) begins with the narrator and his wife, Irene, setting out to write a book about silence, itself called The History of Silence: "This is the story of how. . .
There are plenty of reasons you can fail to find the rhythm of a book. Sometimes it's a matter of discarding initial assumptions or impressions, sometimes of resetting oneself. Zigmunds Skujiņš's Flesh-Coloured Dominoes was a defining experience in the necessity. . .
In a culture that privileges prose, reviewing poetry is fairly pointless. And I've long since stopped caring about what the world reads and dropped the crusade to get Americans to read more poems. Part of the fault, as I've suggested. . .
I would like to pose the argument that it is rare for one to ever come across a truly passive protagonist in a novel. The protagonist (perhaps) of Three Light-Years, Claudio Viberti, is just that—a shy internist who lives in. . .
The last five days of the eleventh-century Icelandic politician, writer of sagas, and famous murder victim Snorri Sturleleson (the Norwegian spelling, Snorre, is preserved in the book) make up Thorvald Steen's most recently translated historical fiction, The Little Horse. Murdered. . .
We all know Paris, or at least we think we know it. The Eiffel Tower. The Latin Quarter. The Champs-Élysées. The touristy stuff. In Dominique Fabre's novel, Guys Like Me, we're shown a different side of Paris: a gray, decaying. . .
One hundred pages into Birth of a Bridge, the prize-winning novel from French writer Maylis de Kerangal, the narrator describes how starting in November, birds come to nest in the wetlands of the fictional city of Coca, California, for three. . .
At 30, the Mexican writer Valeria Luiselli is already gathering her rosebuds. Faces in the Crowd, her poised debut novel, was published by Coffee House Press, along with her Brodsky-infused essay collection, Sidewalks. The essays stand as a theoretical map. . .
Fantomas Versus the Multinational Vampires: An Attainable Utopia (narrated by Julio Cortázar) is, not disappointingly, as wild a book as its title suggests. It is a half-novella half-graphic novel story about . . . what, exactly? A European tribunal, Latin. . .
Marie NDiaye has created a tiny, psychological masterpiece with her Self-Portrait in Green. In it she explores how our private fears and insecurities can distort what we believe to be real and can cause us to sabotage our intimate relationships.. . .

Two mountain lions were harvested Thursday during Nebraskas first mountain lion hunting season.
Both mountain lions were males, the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission said.
A male lion weighing 103 pounds was killed in Sioux County and another lion weighing 138 pounds was shot in Dawes County.
Only two lions can be harvested each hunting season, so the season closed when the second one was shot, just a day after the season opened Jan. 1.
A second season in the Pine Ridge will open on Feb. 15.
Officials estimated a year ago that there are 20 or more mountain lions who have taken up residency and are procreating in Nebraska, a Game and Parks spokesman told the Bulletin.

T-Bone Tom's calls itself a steak house, but the steaks aren't in the same league with the USDA Prime stuff you get in downtown steak houses. T-Bone Tom's steaks are cut from USDA Choice beef, which puts them on a par with the ones at the Saltgrass Steakhouse on the boardwalk. Both restaurants charge $20 for a 12-ounce rib eye.
I sampled something the menu calls "Tom's Choice," which is a marinated rib eye. It was a half-inch thick, very tender and full-flavored. Like most rib eyes, it had a fair amount of gristle. I am guessing there was some soy sauce in the marinade. I ate it outside on the deck with a cold beer and steak fries. The fresh air and charcoal smoke aroma reminded me of cookouts in the backyard long ago.
Now granted, a USDA Prime steak and a glass of fine wine in a plush steak house is a pleasure of a higher order. But that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a juicy cookout steak on a Styrofoam plate with a cold beer down by the sea every now and then. And besides, when was the last time you got to listen to the swampy blues of Tom "Big Daddy Gumbo" Dardar at a downtown steak house?

It really doesn't matter whether you eat a steak, one of the excellent hamburgers or the classic chicken-fried steak. The real reason to go to T-Bone Tom's is to help keep the wild spirit of old Kemah alive.
