There doesn't appear to be much love (or hate) for the 200SRX in these pages, only one other thread, so I thought I'd quickly double the thread count.
I've only had this heli a couple of weeks or so and found there is a lack of availability of the E-flight battery in the UK so I bought a couple of Overlander OV-2559s from Fastlad. Not particularly cheap at £12.49 each but next day delivery; thanks FL. They arrived with 45% charge remaining! I topped them up at 2C and after an 8 minute flight landed with 45% remaining. Delighted with the flight time, I guess 10 minute flights are more than possible, one of the advantages of lower head speeds I guess. The Overlanders are slightly fatter than the stock battery but they fit under the canopy without any difficulty at all.
Next job is to up the motor power once I can get my head around the instructions, not the easiest to understand. If I am disappointed in any way it's with the lack of power as it comes out of the box. I've read elsewhere that others are using the 300's motor but nothing yet on how the stock ESC is surviving that upgrade. I'll stick with the software update for the time being.
Ok, it's SR and not CP but so far no maintenance issues to worry about, wish I could say the same about my 130x.
There must be many others flying the 200, what are your thoughts?
