While it may not be your own real life helicopter, the iRemoco is still a super fun remote control helicopter that plays nice with your iPhone. Thanks to a little adapter that you plug into your iPhone’s 30-pin connector, you can control this fun toy right from your iPhone.
“Fly the gyro-stabilized iRemoco Helicopter using on-screen 3D joysticks or motion control on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. By tilting your iPhone, the helicopter responds accordingly, offering the most intuitive and fun way to fly.”
What’s in the box:
- 3 Channel gyro-stabilized iRemoco Helicopter
- iRemoco Controller with built-in rechargeable battery
- USB charging cable** for both the iRemoco Controller and Helicopter
- Full colour User Manual
- Spare helicopter parts: rotor blades, tail rotor and link rod
The iRemoco works with all iDevices, and it requires the free iRemoco app from the App Store to interface with controller attachment.
This remote control helicopter will run you £59.99, and it’s available for order on the product’s site.

I have the same helicopter, from Syma. I can tell you that you will be buying a lot of extra parts.
The Syma S110G helicopter with a normal remote IR on average costs $19.- ( on various sites )
The re-branded iRemoco helicopter costs $97.77 ( £59.99)
I guess they are looking for iSuckers …..

Alex_98: it’s _not_ a rebranded Syma of any type. I have both a Syma S110G and an iRemoco heli – and they’re very different products. Firstly, you’re not comparing like with like. The Syma S110G is a miniature heli with much flimsier construction, thin plastic landing gear, and exposed wires and motors. Check out the independent youtube unboxing and demo reviews for a closer look at the iRemoco heli and its build quality.

What’s your email address? I’ve got some spam for you. It’s called meltdown.
Looks more like the Syma 107 with a gearbox cover.
