E-Flite Blade MSR: Basement Helicopter Flying Indoors

Got a new toy, a Eflite Blade MSR. Got the Bind n fly version using my DX7. This is my first helicopter, only had it 3 days but I'm doing pretty good. My only other experience flying a heli is on my Real Flight simulator. It has definetly helped prepare me for the real thing though. The heli is super stable for a single rotor and although I still have it set on the docile settings, I can tell this is one agile helicopter.Tons of fun. This is just me messing around in my basement practicing. Sorry for the Static camera. At least the winter won't be too bad for flying since I can fly the MSR indoors all winter.

I just got one of these little gems and after setting it up i love it 5.45 mins flight time on basic battery. Great fun Good video

@grip2010dc Thanks for the comment. Yeah the MSR is great. It helped me transition to heli's along with the simulator. Eflite is being pretty smart with their designs and thinking how to ease people into something like heli flying which can be a little daunting. I love the durability of this thing. Never changed or replaced anything on it.

Thanks alot! I have to put up some more MSR stuff. People seem to love this little heli as much as I do. Hexakopter comes tomorrow! Woo-Hoo:)

great vid man!!! this is also my first heli with no time on sims. after hitting the wall, lawnmower, and almost landing on the neighbor's roof, i realized time on a sim might not be such a bad idea. so i bought a mcx s300 to get use to the controls, i know a sim would have been a better choice but not as much fun. i love them both and can't wait to fly the msr again till then I'll put more time in on the s300....lol.

@ChefWannabeToo Thanks alot for the nice comments. I bought probably 3 or 4 planes before I bought my sim and they tought me alot but they also paid a price. There is no substitution for actually flying your aircraft but the sim will teach you alot. My orientation with planes is now second nature thanks to the sim. My heli experience is getting there with the help of the MSR and the Sim. Enjoy man what ever your flying. I have a Hexakopter coming my way so my vids should be better soon.

I am editing my own little video I also use real flight sim and am self training to fly my other Rc nitro helis thanks for your response. You are right about the durability I have plenty of miss haps and she is can take it.

@ejam4 I believe mine is set up as they recommend in the Manual. It is set up in Airplane mode on the DX7 and as I've said this is my first heli so I'm pretty green also. The only thing I did was set up Low/High rates on rudder, aileron, elevator, but I don't even use them. I do use the High/low switch on the top left of the DX7. I think this thing flies as steady as could be but I did have sim. experience. Do you have one? You should get one if not. Good luck sorry couldn't be more help.

Great video, I have the same, but having problems learning. Could you tell me your setting in the dx7?
