Fast. Agile. Stable. Fun. |
The Blade 120 SR is a fixed-pitch heli that will give you the confidence to master the basics of single-rotor flight. Its unique rotor head was specifically designed to provide the inherent stability of a coaxial helicopter, but provide the agile control of a single rotor helicopter. Modeled after the popular ultra micro-sized Blade mSR, the sub-micro-sized 120 SR is larger, faster, and more powerful, which makes outdoor flight a reality. It comes out of the box 100% factory built and equipped with a factory installed 5-in-1 control unit with Spektrum's 2.4GHz DSM2-compatible receiver, main motor ESCs, mixer, gyro, and fully proportional servos. A ready-to-fly version with 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter and a Bind-N-Fly version without transmitter, for those who already own a DSM2 aircraft transmitter, are available. Both include a 1S 500mAh Li-Po battery and a single-cell, variable rate LiPo charger as well as an AC power supply. Blade 120 SR RTF Highlights: - Sub-Micro size

Im slightly torn on this rating. It is a very nice, stable helo. When they say it can be flown outside in little wind, they mean very little, as in no wind. Even the smallest breeze will take it for a spin. A gentle gust you better be well ready for. It is best for inside flight. The problem is the size, it is really too big to fly in the house. It would take a very large room to do anything other than hover, or very slow flight. This is a pretty quick helo, especially for indoors. It is quite steady, if you are moving from a co-axial this is a good step. Advanced flyers might not like the stability. It does have a habit of self correcting to level flight, even when you dont want it to. The battery life isnt bad, i get about 6 minutes of flight time. You can actually fly about 8 minutes, but you will quickly ruin your battery doing it. Dont be fooled by the fact this is on the beginner page. If you have never flown a r/c helo before start with a co-axial. Both your skill and your wallet will be better off. I would have given this four stars if it were heavy enough to fly outside on a normal TN day.
