I'm not sure what to do about breaking blades. I would think they would be a lot more durable(like the mSR blades). The mSR is a fixed pitch that has hit walls, furniture, floors and everything in between and I have never broke a blade. As for flying outdoors....I don't think you will ever be able to fly a small coaxial helicopter outdoors with much success. I think they were designed more for indoor use. People have even said they see a difference when they fly under or near heating/AC vents in there homes. That's how light those things are. Someone else might chime in but I think Iread where someone put a penny or a small amount of weight at the front of the canopy to help a little with foreward flight.
