The longevity of the U.S. Army�s Chinook is truly impressive. Created and built in the 1960s it is one of the few aircrafts from that era is not only standing but in production and in use. Many of the first real pictures and films of war that were available for the public to view at home came during the Vietnam War era and many of those grainy images contained a Chinook in the foreground or background due to its crucial role in the war effort. As a result, the classic Chinook will always be embedded in the public consciousness as emblematic of hard fought battles due to its role in facilitating troop movement, artillery emplacement and battlefield resupply in countless conflicts. This large scale helicopter is inspired by that most enduring of American aircraft. This model comes right out of the box fully assembled and ready to take to the air. Great for those exploring their RC helicopter interest and eager to hone their skills, it is simple to put together and powerful in the air. The structure is designed to look realistic and the strong frame is built for durability. Even more impressive is its maneuverability despite its large size due to flight stabilization system, making it a pleasure to fly. Here you have an chance to own a part of American military history and have the satisfaction of seeing for yourself how it became such an integral part of the U.S. air strategy in numerous conflicts in the second half of the 20th century.

5.0My favorite2010-11-23PROS Fun To Play WithCONS BEST USES Comments about ZZZ - S022 Big Chinook Remote Control Helicopter:
I have nearly all the other Symas and this is by far my favorite! It's not the most agile of the bunch, but it looks the best and I actually like the unique balance and feel it has. Check out some of the videos on youtube and compare between this one and the others to see what I'm talking about...definitely not for everybody, but I'm sure everybody can enjoy it. At the very least, a very affordable RC toy. BOTTOM LINE? Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

4.0Syma S022 Big Chinook Review2010-11-17PROS Fun To Play With Easy to Control DurableCONS BEST USES Indoors Outdoors Adults Older Children Teens Young ChildrenComments about ZZZ - S022 Big Chinook Remote Control Helicopter:
The Chinook S022 isn't going to wow anybody with its aerial acrobatics, but its low price and authentic design will be sure to appeal to RC heads and children alike. I bought one to review for my RC club's monthly publication, so I'll be duplicating most of the points I've made there. In a nutshell, this heli can easily find a home where there are children or (let's face it) older males who are into this kind of geeky gear. It's easy and fun to fly, and it's big enough to fly outdoors provided there is little wind. This can't be said of Syma's other products, such as the S107, which are much more agile and perhaps a little more on the hobby side of RC rotary flight. And, honestly, at this price, you really can't lose! I highly recommend this RC for anybody out there looking for a fun, novel toy for themselves, or for their children or grandchildren. You'll learn about heli flight as well, but if that's your primary aim, I'd go with one of the other Symas, as you can do a few rudimentary tricks on those. The S022's unique look and feel, however, can't be matched by its Syma counterparts, which is a distinct advantage in my eyes. In short, I don't think anybody can lose out in purchasing this product, or any of Syma's other helis. You don't often find products that are both affordable and worth the price the S022 is both!
