Hey guys, I've been bitten by the heli bug! I'm currently looking at a Blade SR. What are your opinions on this thing...good or bad. Also if you don't like the Blade, what would you recommend? I'm looking for something in the 1.5 -2 ft size.

Thanks!

This, from the heli forum I'm on.

I don't care for the motorized fixed blade on the tail, but prefer the belt driven, servo controlled rear rotor.

You might want to check into the Belt CP helis.

I have the mSR and it's a fun little bird to fly.

I bought the SR on an impulse last night. It's fun. I beat the hell out of it and it still works. It took 2 packs to figure it out. They last about 5-7 minutes so far I guess. Cheap parts and batteries is good too. I'll post up some more if there are any problems with it. It is good for me before attempting a CP heli.

Oh yeah, it is only like 12 inches long. A little shorter than what you are looking for.

I think you guys are talking about two different birds. I think the OP means the Blade SR, and I believe you are referring to the SR 120. Leave it to E Flite to make things as confusing as possible huh?

Haha, I do have the 120 SR. The Blade SR is a CP i think? That was the other one there that was bigger. Thanks man, I probably would've jacked that up ordering parts.

Yep, the SR is a full on CP bird. No problem man, I have no idea why they did the names that way, it is a little confusing.
