0:32 is a decent video capture of the increased speed from this modification. The distance from the far end of the sofa to the top of the steps is 12 feet 4 inches. This is a second video that includes a nose dip crash that wasn't possible before the speed mod. If I had more room I could have saved the copter from the final crash right at the end. The nose will dip if you turn just right, at just the right speed. It's a relaxed turn, but it will speed you forward with hardly any throttle. It's a bit hard to see though at 1:24. Also has a nice comedy crash at 0:38. I've gotta remember the throttle tap for the turn at 0:06 seconds. That was accidental and cool. PASTED FROM THE FIRST VIDEO- This is a way to make your Syma S109 Apache pretty darned fast. Almost too fast for most small rooms. There are NO add ons or replacements at all here. It's all about removal. Basically take everything off that's not part of the main body. Use a pair of snippers or a razor and cut the fins on the tail off. Other parts can be removed with a small screwdriver. The plastic is very flexible, so the hard to get to screws can be removed. IMPORTANT MOD- Flybar/balance bar. I used a stone grinder to grind off much of the balance bar weight to prevent blade strike when going full reverse from full forward. Don't overheat the metal while grinding or the plastic will melt. Each weight has been reduced to 3/8 inch. Now it doesn't fall from the air as it's blades get chopped up. LEDs are gone for now ...
