The perfect relaxation flyer for experienced pilots Living

The blade is perfect for all those who set up the hosts at infrared cheaply-Luftquirlen Asian hackles; for all those who, in preparation for a large Heli not like only days on the simulator but rather want to practice in reality simple figures and for those who do not expect perfect miniature of your large helicopters for the living room, but relaxed curves around the furniture like.
For absolute beginners, in my opinion it is advisable initially to buy a suitable coaxial helicopter. If the MSR should definitely be sometime off emfiehlt for beginners the Blade MCX, as the transmitter and battery are the same for both helicopters and then not have to buy new when changing.

The Blade MSR has a great advantage: the extremely pronounced for a single-rotor inherent stability.
And one major drawback: the extremely pronounced for a single-rotor inherent stability.

On one hand, the stable flight behavior leads to a great handling and quick wins for beginners, on the other hand receives the pilot very quickly a side effect of strong angled stability to feel that has not a "normal" helicopter: the MSR disclose (if you're not active against controls) a "PicooZ-like vibration behavior" that causes it does not stop from a moving out, but back commutes. There are several modifications in the network to find that inhibit the extreme penchant for oscillating movement somewhat and thereby make the heli much scaliger and somewhat more difficult to handle. For e-Flite it would be relatively easy to allow these conversions for experienced pilots from the factory by a modifed rotor head; Unfortunately, this is not yet the case.

Highly experienced pilots who want to practice figures for their great Brummer ever in the living room in winter, are better served by the Walkera 4 # 3 Brushless, which is getting cheaper and also a much tauglicheren transmitter brings a jack for simulators. This is the Walkera in Verleich the MSR a thick Hummel (slightly larger, but twice as heavy) and forgives weight caused collisions with the furniture not nearly as easy as the MSR.

For me there is no alternative but to MSR, and the following reasons:

- Due to its almost unbelievably light weight of 27g including battery it survives virtually any crash! This is in the class of single-rotor helicopters with the swash plate at a unique selling point.
- To my mind, the ratio of weight to size is substantially coherent than other ultra-Microhelis
- Each part can be ordered at very fair prices
- It can be flown with any DSM2 transmitter range, perfect for every DX owner!
- Batteries are pleasantly small and very reasonably priced! (I recommend the 160's of Turningy, flight time up to 9 minutes)
- My focus is on the fun factor, I can live with the tendency to oscillate

further advantages:

- Very economical transmitter, a set of 4 AA sufficient for several days extended flight
- Two batteries and various spare parts already supplied
- The enclosed, mobile usable 4x loader is a Genistreich! You can fly almost constantly with 4-5 batteries.
- The charger can be operated without power supply with D batteries. That you learn to appreciate quickly!
- Easy to dismantle, useful built. It does not take a professional to replace parts easily.
- The slight angle built main rotor axis compensates for the weight caused relatively strong tendency to drift left perfectly and lets cabin and landing gear in hover are clean horizontal.

Disadvantages which should not be:

- The RTF spark is all well in hand, but could be more precise. You can not be from Mode2 to Mode4
or switch from mode 1 to 3, although that would be feasible in the production for a few cents.
- The pitch - umm - throttle is too light and has no detent. This is almost invariably distorts the buoyancy in yaw and must always keep both control functions at the same time under control. For beginners, it becomes more difficult, you'd wish you almost Mode 4 in order to separate these two control functions. The problem is aggravated by the fact that
- The stabilization of the tail rotor failed more times with strong thrust changes. The combination of fairly small rear engine and -rotor then does not seem to be able to compensate for the acting Beschleunigunskräfte. Here Walkera has made better with the optically not so beautiful, but larger rear rotors when CB100 and 4 # 3 his homework. When trying to bring the surprisingly broken tail back under control you verreißt then also like to the pitch, see problem with too easy walking pitch lever.
- Rotor head and blade holder made of plastic acting delicately at first glance, but turn out to be quite robust. The blade holders are however incomprehensibly designed so that the leaves can not completely fold away. This act in a crash unnecessarily strong leverage on the main rotor. This lead to the filigree plastic parts wear out more than necessary, so that the precise controllability of the helicopter subsides over time. You can fix the problem by the replacement of the rotor head and blade holder made of aluminum. This also increases the Präsizion control something costs however proud 30 (Aufrüstteile: Fa Microheli, USA)
- The "cheap" cardboard box for storage and transport acts inappropriately, if you have the great aluminum case of Walkera ever seen.

more disadvantages (in principle):

- Linkskurven advised only with exercise really scalig / clean due weight and drift tendency.
- Through the highly integrated design very suitable for hobbyists and modders (here we recommend the above Walkera)
- Very sensitive to wind due to low weight. Experienced pilots could at wind but precisely for this reason have fun! ;-)

Conclusion:

The Blade MSR defined in my opinion a class I "ultralight Ultra Micro-Helis inherently stable FP" would call times. In this class, he has no serious competition and there are 5 star!

However, there are in the near future "neighborhood" of the helicopters Walkera (CB100, 4 # 3) and Nine Eagles (Solo Pro), I do not want to directly compare technical and weight reasons. However, they show that in this price range, a reasonable station and an ordinary aluminum case in delivery must be no witchcraft. There's a star deduction.
