New Blade SR

Franksie · 08-02-2010, 09:47 PM

I have had a blade CX2 for 3 months and thoroughly enjoy it. This heli thing has gripped me! I have bought a DX6i and Phoenix and have learned a great deal, still bottom rung on the ladder!!
I have decided to pre-order one of these and just wanted to know everyones thoughts.
The write up looks good and eflite stuff seems ok the CX2" is sound.

Regards

Paul

I've no doubt it will be very good - eFlite seem to be on a roll

Cheers,

Well the 2 vids I've seen of it look quite encouraging.

Shall keep my fingers crossed for you

I was going to get one of these but then I thought it made sense to get the Blade 400

you can use your DX6i to tame down the blade 400 if you want and I think it will be better fro you in the long run!!

^^^ +1 ^^^

I'd go straight for a blade 400. Make sure you buy three sets of the following spares, you will have a few crashes (we all do):

Main blades
Boom
Feathering shaft
Main blade grip holders
Tail shaft

And before you even think about flying the blade 400, make sure you can easily fly a trex 450 on phoenix with perfect landings and good hovering skills.

After watching a promo vid last night,this new heli looks perfect for your next step

....i garantee you would learn more from the sr than a b400 as it will see more airtime as it wont come into contact with the ground so much

Then once you have mastered the basics you may want a trex450,beam e4 or better still a trex 500.

You will have a better chance of selling the Sr in 6 months in mint condition
rather than a battered up b400

good luck whatever you do

+1 from here ; Only down side, I think it would be pricey ( as I recall seeing the possible UK price a few weeks back)
