E-Flite Blade SR 3D, flips, loops, rolls, inverted flight, tricks and stunts lol

so you will all probably want to know what is done to my helicopter, i have blade CP blades, usually the carbon ones but i got woodies on now and they are not as good IMO, i have added blade cp o rings to my head instead of the stock gummy bear o rings, the cp ones are much harder, i have 5 shims on each side of the feathering shaft and 1 extra step washer on each side of the feathering shaft, the head mods get rid off 98% of the slop in the head, a tight head is important for any kind of 3D flying.

and finally i have 10T pinion and plan on getting a 11T pinion some time soon.

of course i use a DX6i the stock TX makes the SR fly really sloppy.




thats it, besides the dx6i all the other things i have done are pretty inexpensive and make a big difference.

Can you give your out your dx settings. I've down loaded some on utube but idle up doesn't work

@Scottsr450 pitch curve for IU 0-25-50-75-100 throttle curve for IU should be something like 100-100-100-100-100 or 90-90-90-90-90 that is how i run them..

this video was a while ago and i have had a few radios since, and different radios need different numbers to get the same feel. put in that pitch and thorttle curve and IU should work...

@dannylightning So how long you been flying rc helis??? Cause this blade Sr is not a easy heli to fly, Eflite say it is and they lie!!! I bought one and crashed it to destruction...The blade 400 and the AXE 400 is easier to fly so I heard from experienced guys!!! But nice flying though..Glad to see someone really fly the SR instead of just hovering it...LOL

[dannylightning]

@cowbells4u at the time of this video i had only been flying about 4 months. I am going on 2 years not and i hahve advanced at this hobby in a way most people don't, i guess i am kind of a natural at it, i still have a long way to go to be at the pro pilot level, if i get there some day cool, if not than i am still having fun

The SR is not easy to fly so i agree with you on that, i have newer videos of my flying the SR and some of my other helicopters, blade 400 and AXE 400 are junk.

[cowbells4u]

@dannylightning But why are the AXE 400 and Blade 400 junk?? Cuase they are not a $900-1400 kit like the T Rex 600 or 700E?? I feel that way in some ways, but they teach you the skills till ready for a big expensive heli like a Trex 700e or N. Part to repair those are very expensive!!!

[dannylightning]

@cowbells4u they do not fly good and have lots of problems. my old blade 400 had issue after issue, ESC problems, gyro died, servos died and it flew like a sloppy mess. than i got a align 450 and it flew circles around the blade 400, there are many brands way better than align though. align is where you start to get a good flying descent quality helicopter. bottom line is in this hobby you get what you pay for. you buy cheep and you get cheep

[dannylightning]

@cowbells4u part 2-- the align T rex 450 is pretty nice, align T-Rex models are where you start to get a good preforming quality helicopter, the blade 450 looks very nice for a E-Flite product. my friend got one and its took me by surprise how well it flys.

No collective pitch helicopter is going to be easy to fly and if you dont know what your doing expect to destroy it, phoenix RC flight sim is the first thing to get to learn to fly a RC helicopter.

@yz426clint Thanks for the opinion, i thought you might be a really good pilot so i went to your page to check out your flying videos, but you have no video's when you get some up let me know.

[Scottsr450]

Thanks for the tip. It works now. I also put a T Rex 250 tail mount on the sr it flies awesome.

[cowbells4u]

@dannylightning Yes I see that too..the Walkera, Eflite, Esky helicopters are nice and will teach you..Not to mention parts are cheap..But with a Trex 700, JR vibe 90, you are getting the BMW or Mercedes of Rc helis!!! I can see that by looking..those are real competition level helis...
