Best mini helicopter.

Yes but it's Walkera. I know there is also the Buzzfly 3D but I think the Buzzflys are the same as Walkera. If they allowed them to be BNF with any TX then they'd be great.

mSR is a great heli to start learning with, You can fly it outside on a calm day, but its brilliant indoors aswell and best of all because its 'hobby grade' you can purchase spares and repares if you damage anything, although its pretty blimmin durable.

It's not fair to say Walkera==crap.

The original 4#3 or BuzzFly had its shortcomings, but was quite a good heli.

The brushless 4#3 or BuzzFly BE plus the 8 channel Tx is really pretty nice. Tx is better than a DX6i, and not much short of a DX7. I love the BuzzFly BE. You can practice 'BMFA A' type stuff in your front room (and mine isn't big), and it's got a much more 'real' feel than an mSR. It's also 2.4GHz, brushless main & tail, separate ESCs, digital swash servos, metal head. ie high spec. BNF is ~£100

However, the Walkera 2408 isn't that cheap (~£130), and you probably won't want to use it with bigger helis. (Though I'm sure you could. The 8 ch RXs are cheap (£25), and it will work with the small 3D Walkeras.)

The cheaper Walkera Txs are nothing like as nice as the 2408, and I found this affected the flyability a lot.

OTOH, the mSR & mCX are E-Flite/Spektrum/Horizon (good brands), and work with Spektrum TXs (like DX6i & DX7) - which you can fly bigger helis with.

It's not a clear choice in a whole lot of respects.

just had a go with the msr and mcx on phoenix and the mcx is EASY where the msr is a bit more of a handfull.

The Walkera 4G6 looks amazing but the price is way too high as you cant get a bnf version like dam said.

Think im going to get the msr when i get some money .

Thanks all!!!

You definitely can get a barebone 4g6 but you would have to wait a bit for the delivery but it's always quick for me (less than 1 week).

This is on the basis of you have got a 2801pro tx.

Muddled Numbers...

However, the Walkera 2408 isn't that cheap (~£130)[...]

I've repeatedly got these Tx numbers all messed up. Oops...

My Tx is a a BF8, which is a WK-2801. SN begins 9xxxxxxx. I'm not sure if this is a 2801 Pro, but I'd guess it is.

AIUI, the other BuzzFlyer TXs are re-badged 2401 & 2601.

The price on the BF8 Tx is based on buying it with a BuzzFy BE, and it's then ~£120.
