Now you need to tell people that this is a Blade 120SR ;-) the floats are kind of big though ;-)

@DirkME1022 yeah i love it ,,measures are totally wrong ,like original blade already looks kind of funny stock : ) so its part of the characteristics i liked to slightly overdo to work away the ugly wrong proportioned skids

next to this indoor clown my 450 looks like a serious heli now : )

nice flying.. great job on the mods looks cool :-)

[bassax7045]

@1BLADESHY thanks ,yeah i had to take action ,i was bored by the e-flight look of all their models,,if they like to sell spare parts so badly ,,why not give us double brushless and start a trade in variety of canopy model and colors or spray art ,,im sure the 120sr pilot will get a collection of canos

heheh you and your floats! its sick man you did a good job man, for sure hehe nice flight!

[bassax7045]

@thefirstofmykind guess my t-rex 500 needs more expensive (bigger) floats ;-)

I think I am in love! That is one sexy little heli. She can land her skids on my pad anytime. Blade helicopters canopies suck. Who designs them . Really add some flames and that's a upgrade. At least Walkera supplies a nice looking canopy.

@stot2614 have checked them out too ,and as soon as i can get double brushless on the 120sr i am willing to invest about 200$ to fully upgrade

not going to with the brushed motors,,and you are right ,the blade 450 cano looks slightly better colored but is still ugly shaped,,,then again ,who cares as long as it flies good : )

[stot2614]

@bassax7045 I will admit that when I saw a full metal part upgrade video of rakonheli meatl parts, that thing flies like it owns the air... much like I am told the 250 does, despite the huge difference in size and headspeed. The particular video I saw had a really cool Align-like red and white Xtreme canopy that really set it apart like your mod does for yours. Whenever I get the Blade 120SR (mCP X first of course!), I will definitely go to rakonheli as I am very impressed with their upgrades.

[stot2614]

@bassax7045 Oh... I am sure there will be plenty of upgrade canopies available with all the interest that the mCP X has garnered at least on rcgroups... over 50 pages of thread posts in a 1-2 day period! I had never seen so much chatter about any model like that before! Outdoors it is actually a lot better than you think when you add the metal upgrades (yes, I admit it on THIS one!)... I saw an awesome video of rakonheli metal upgrades and an Xtreme canopy that made it look like a small 250!
