New Blade SR

[Franksie]

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

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)

If this was the firt time you used/setup the helicopter it is always best to disconnect the electric motor then connect the battery, set up the servos if they need any adjustment and also program the esc(electronic speed controller) I'm not sure how easy the disconnection of the motor is on the neon blaze. Some helis need the cables cutting and bullet conectors used to have an easy connection.

Good luck Franksie with your choice in helis! the bigger it is the more stable it will be generally.

MMMMMMM................SR or 400 difficult for me! I see your commnets and postives and negatives

bottom line neither one of these heli's is crap like some i have heard of so at least I'm heading in the right direction, give it some thought over the next few days and decide.

[Franksie]

impatient or what!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok done it! bought a Blade 400 what is the best lipo to get for it?

[invasion]

Congratulations mate you will love it
I just got a flightmax 2200 3s at a good price from https://www.falconsrcs.co.uk/store/i...&productId=574
Now I know it is a good lipo and it is the same size as the eflite one going to get some from Hobby King

[Franksie]
