Very good FP Heli - but not perfect.

First is true to say that this helicopter is offered only as a BNF "Basic" version. That is here buys you only the helicopter with manual, repair DVD, Phillips and a few small parts.
When charger I recommend the E-Flite Celectra 4 port charger 110mAh 1S 4x charger for z. B. Blade MCX loader to load up to 4 batteries simultaneously. . Anyone with a minimum of 1.5A has no 6V power supply at home should this order here about this: E-flite Power Supply for 4-port charger

The batteries I stick with recommendations first back because opinions vary when MSR X. In any case, I recommend batteries with min. 25C, the small is very power hungry. I'm using the Turnigy Nano with 160 mAh, conveniently available from HK.

But when we come to the actual review time:

1. The most important thing: The flight behavior
-------------------------------------------------- ----------

What is immediately striking when you first start, that he quite strong drift to the left. This is the beginning to get used to, over time you get used to but it and the light countermeasures at the start becomes a routine. Who therefore is not clear can raise the helicopter under the left skid about 5mm, then he will start approximately at right angles. Another tip for "beginners" should float Contrary to the initial impulse to safety first just above the ground first man courageously rise to well 50-60cm height, since it has no ground effect and you get the actual flight characteristics very well. He is in the air relatively inherently stable, but is not so "tacked" in the air like a Koaxialheli (ie one with 2 rotors), it must be easily corrected again. In the beginning it is still quite difficult, because it reacts extremely directly on any entries. I use it with the remote computer DX6i as the RTF remote control I can not say. What next noticeable in the air: It is easy to "slant" which is due to the FBL system, sees the beginning of quite weird but you get used to it. To "yaw". Here are the ghosts. Clockwise it works fairly easily, he remains without major corrections in his place. If you try all the links around the looks quite different. Without costly corrections he runs off one and you end up in a crash landing.
So much for the behavior inside. I've been a few times outside flown him, even in light winds. In a light breeze it lies properly in the air, the FBL system works properly there. If the wind is a little stronger, the whole bit harder in the weight (think 34 grams) can be there but I do not expect anything else.
In summary, the flight behavior: He is extremely agile, react immediately to all control inputs and great fun if you can tame him.

2. The crash resistance
-------------------------------------------------- ----------

Each beginner (just with this helicopter) crashes virtually inevitable. The MSR X surprised me very positively here! He has some very "ungentle" landings behind him (carefully worded). The only spare parts that I've needed is a new blade holder. Therefore, the crash resistance is a clear advantage for the little runabout.

3. Beginners suitability
-------------------------------------------------- ----------

Also very important is the beginner fitness because I already see the MSR X as Einsteigerheli. I'll say it this way: I think almost everyone who will At length these helicopters be probably ever flown a Koaxialheli. And who thinks because of this "flight experience", he has also in the handle which intersects powerfully! As a beginner, you are first a while with stern hovering busy until you can hold it halbwehs Stable on the spot! The learning effect is very good, especially since he already partially CP shows flight behavior. He called once reserves entered at control inputs until is left unchecked. That's beginning again increased difficulty, but trained immensely!

Conclusion:

In summary, I kan the MSR X recommend every ambitious beginner who wants to break into the exciting world of RC Helicopter. Priced he is very settled in the lower part, the spare parts are to get fast and cheap! But even experienced pilots expect here an excellent housefly that is fun and provides a long time motivation!
