Beware.. FAKE UNITS!!!!!
Beware at this time when buying the yellow version of this helicopter. I purchased two of them to go with the two red ones I already ordered a week ago. I noticed right away I couldn't charge the yellow one with the same wall charger I purchased when I got the red ones. I then noticed that the insides were different. Different colored wire, motors, lights on the board in different places. I thought that was rather strange since they just come in different color plastic. Come to find out that they are fake, which is why I can't charge them. Amazon customer service was great and is taking them back and going to look into why their vendors is selling fakes. I assume the red ones were fine because they were "shipped and sold" by Amazon. The yellow ones are coming from different vendors and just fulfilled by Amazon.
To see if the one you have is fake go to google and type in "s107 fake" and the first link should be regarding how to tell them apart, with lots of pictures. I can't believe even the boxes they came in are different. My wife and I were sitting here tonight looking at the units, and boxes, and couldn't believe how close they are. Even the extra wall charger on the Amazon site says it doesn't work with the fake models. Hopefully Amazon will have this corrected and not just keep selling the units.
