Nice reading tiddler. Mine's sitting on my desk at work. Can't wait to fly it but gotta wait until Saturday as it's a Birthday pressie!

I would also like to hear a direct comparison with the 4#3B

I think the MSR must be alot more stable than the 4#3B but for me the difficulty of the 4#3B is half the fun.

Well Happy Birthday Martin

Your gonna love it.
Btw, try not to drink too much before you fly it

AS a new heli pilot and i mean new, the msr is fantastic had it 3 days and doing bank turns. Been trying for 12 months just to hover 4#3b and spent loads on spares !!! Msr has 4 settings from very mcx like to blade 400 (which i have yet still to fly without damaging it) should have waited and got just msr best learner heli there is just my opinion. (ok not i have not much experiance to voice an opinion, but i have really been trying to get to grips with this hobby for 12 months now and this little heli has rekindled my drive to learn to fly.)
as for build quality no its not as well made as a 4#3b but it flies better for a novice, so less parts required, so to me its cheaper.
now set msr with no expo and finding goes like stink, but when i make a mistake just let go of stick and it goes into hover if enough room fantastic!!!!!
The msr may not be the best heli to real pilots but give me/other newbies something like this and we may learn someting.
