I have had a Walkera Dragonfly 4-1 and an Exceed RC Falcon 40 V1 for a few years now and have gotten back into flying them. I have been told by a hobby shop that they aren't really worth the time and $ and that I should get a Blade 120 SR if i rly wanted to learn how to fly. I've been doing some good indoor hovers, and some forward and backward flight (not circuits) indoors, but not that great outside with a slight wind. Should i get a 120 SR? or upgrade to a mCP X 2 or something else.

@XYZslayer well the falcon 40 is a FP heli right? If you can fly FP helicopters well enough, you may want to step up to something like the mCP X 2; however, it may be best to get a little more practice on a FP heli like the 120SR. I'd suggest getting the 120SR or the mSR X and getting a bit more practice on a quality FP heli.

i just got one of these things for christmas, its really fun to fly around although its to cold for the plastic to be out side.. found that you when the tail snaped. I was wondering how many batteries shoudl i have to be able to fly it for more then like 7 mins?

[earthling1984]

@HyP3rxMiTchXx0 one battery should last up to 7mins. i usually just fly 5mins to ensure i don't damage the battery by over draining it though.

Nice flight...I bought one myself and modified it with a camera, it still flies great!

Curious we have MCX2's and want to upgrade to this for our next heli, can we use the controller for the SR that came with the MCX2? 4 channel 2.4mhz? thanks

I enjoyed watching your video, even the crash! I do have a newbie type question for you. I am decent at hovering and some basic outside flight. Definitely better when there is no wind and lots of open space. As I progress, can you explain the stick movements for doing forward circuit flying? Is it just forward cyclic and use the rudder to navigate with, or do you also throw in some left or right cyclic when you make the turns? It seems when I try it, my turns are different left Vs. turning Right

@earthling1984 I really like the MCX2, great beginner helicopter. Anything from Blade is better than Exceeds best product. Exceed R/C is worthless, its a small step above walmart.

I currently have a blade cx2 which is horrible outdoors. Is this one good in wind?
