E-Flite Blade SR - first looks
Written by Ashley Davis Friday, 05 March 2010 21:38
Today the E-Flite Blade SR arrived and I not only got opportunity to film a little intro to the model but also to give it a first few hovers and trim out.
First and foremost I have to say this is a really polished ready to fly model that E-Flite have produced, the kit presentation is superb and the fit and finish of the model is equally excellent. Everything works as you would expect and it took me all of 5 minutes to prep the model for flight after charging the battery.
Intial hovers proved that although the model is very docile and stable it does have very similar characteristics to a larger model and won't just sit in a hover like the Blade MSR, you have to stay on top of it all the time and correct it or it will just fly off. The tail holds pretty well and the whole thing feels very balanced and easy to fly, I can see this being a very popular model for people moving up from something like the MSR.
I'll get some flight videos and fly it both indoors and out before writing up the full review but so far very impressed with this little beginners heli.
