E-Flite Blade SR RTF Micro Helicopter. Demo of simple flight in a gymnasium. Part 1 of 2.

This is a video of the E-Flite Blade SR micro helicopter. It is a demo of simple indoor flight (hovering, simple turns, etc). The SR is a step up from the Blade mSR. The SR is not the mSR however, the blades rotate much faster. If you crash the SR expect a repair bill whereas the mSR can take a lot of abuse without damage. I got 14 minutes of video on one battery on the SR. I had to break the final video into two parts to meet the youTube limit of 10 minute videos. At the end of the video you get to see how the SR's Soft Low Voltage Cutout works (SLVC).

Nice indoor Demo.

@CrazyHeliDude Thank you.

Yeah. The sound is bad. I don't like to put music on the vids though. I like to be able to hear the heli rather than some cheesy music that I don't like.

i am going to get a chopper right now i am down the the mcx2 the cx-2 or the msr...with a lean toward the msr. but outside of video games iv,e never flown anything. But i like a challenge i have all winter and a big shop to learn in. Then again i like fun more than fustration. how hard are they to learn on a scale of one to ten? what would buy right now if you'd never flown before?

@thelaughingman79 Tough question to answer without knowing your threshold for $ pain. Any coax is going to be easier to fly than a single rotor (natural stability from the counter-rotor). They are also going to get boring faster. Up, Down, show forward, slow reverse, etc. You can't do much with them therefore less to go wrong flight wise. mSR is pretty stable but you might spend more money on repairs at first. Boredom takes longer to set in. See next post.

@thelaughingman79 If you start with mCX then be prepared to spend more money on the next helicopter as you will want more capability soon (if you're at all competent). Be prepared to sell the mCX to a buddy and get the mSR or 120 SR. Either way you'll spend money on the next heli or repairs to the first (not to scare you off, it's just once heli crack sets in you'll want more and more). Since you haven't flown anything yet the coax is probably the way to start.

Good video and information, just that loud noise from the a/c is bad. And wow, 14 minutes flight time, that is really something :-)) Thank you for sharing ;-)

[NwRcFlight]

@thelaughingman79 Yeah. They are loud. But they also put out a lot of air so if I want a challenge I fly on that end of the gym.

the ventilation fans in this video almost put me to sleep lol
