The Syma S026G CH-47 Mini Army Chinook Helicopter 3CH is a nifty little tandem helicopter that fits right in your hand! It is ready to fly and transport artillery to the battlefield at a moment's notice, resupply your troops, or evacuate the wounded. Like the real CH-47 Chinook workhorse from the US Army it was designed after, the Syma S026G is both durable and fun to fly. Three frequency bands (A, B, and C) are available so up to three helicopters can be flown simultaneously.
The S026G tandem is very similar to the original S026, but has been upgraded by Syma with a stabilizing gyroscope. The infrared control system is easy for beginning pilots to master so they can direct the mini CH-47 Chinook to move forward and backward, left and right, and up and down. The Syma S026G is ready-to-fly, minus AA batteries for the transmitter. Flight time on the included rechargeable battery is 6-8 minutes. The Mini Chinook battery can be recharged through the transmitter, so you do not need to be near a wall outlet to recharge it.
We also offer the Syma S022 CH-47 Army Chinook Helicopter 3CH, which is a larger version and has a regular FM radio (not infrared) transmitter. The larger S022 can be flown either outside or in larger indoor areas, while the smaller Syma S026G CH-47 Mini Army Chinook Helicopter with its infrared transmitter is intended strictly for indoor flying. Sunlight interferes with infrared transmitters, so it is possible to fly the Syma S026G outdoors but you would have to avoid direct sunlight and always remain within a few feet of the helicopter at all times. Due to its smaller size, the S026G CH-47 produces less rotor wash so some people prefer the S026 over the larger S022 for indoor flying.
