Blade MSR or Walkera 4-3?
I am brand new to heli's and just got a blade MCX last weekend. I wish I'd have got and MSR right from the start but it's to late for that now. Anyways now I'm trying to decide between the blade MSR or the Walkera 4-3. I like the looks of the Walkera with the aluminum parts and the radio looks a little cooler. I allready have the rtf radio from the mcx that'll work with the bind-n-fly MSR but I'd like to know which one performs better and which one would be easier to fly if there's any difference?

I can guarantee you the MSR will fly better right out of the box. The Walkera might be able to fly as good after you work on it for a while. On Little helis like this, aluminum is not a good idea. They will weigh it down, drop flight times and possibly cause it not to fly as good. These little guys just don't have as much power as the big ones.

I posted a link to mcx mods earlier. You can make it faster pretty easily. I have the MSR and am flying it off of a DX7. It is fun, but fast. Use low rates at first. The main weak spots are the blade grips and the landing gear. The make aluminum parts for the msr, but the heli guys do not like them. I know nothing of the walkera, so I have no opinion at all on it

I would get the MSR if it weren't so darn expensive. I'm in the process of getting another MXC. Shouldn't have sold the first one. It makes a GREAT indoor flyer. I don't plan on flying something so small out doors anyway. I have these helis to fly outside
not to mention my planes

Those look nice but I want something small enough to fly indoors but a little more challanging and faster then the MCX. I'll sell u mine if you want the s300. It's only a week old. I want the MSR.

Thanks for the offer, I just picked up a RTF MCX for $60.00 with extra parts and 3 batteries. Pending shipment
I am sure you will like the MSR.
I just need something to fly around in my basement living room. I had an MCX before and it was perfect for that. Over the summer, I forgot how boring the winter gets[&:] silly me, I sold it. Hopefully I will get this one soon. The guy is in the same state as me.
I was looking around for a used MSR, but everyone wants 90% of the new price
