Figured Iwould start a thread about everything Ihave learned so far in flying and repairing my Blade SR. Maybe we can all learn from each other and avoid making the same mistakes.

I will start off:

1. It is WAY more powerful than an MSRor a co-axial. Find a big, indoor area for your flights and take it slow. If it gets away from you it could hurt you or somebody. Keep the tail pointed at you and learn the way it reacts to your stick movements.

2. In getting rid of the tail bounce or "wag"in my machine, Ihad to turn the gyro down a little bit. When you adjust the gyro, you only need to BARELY move it to get a response. It took me 4 battery packs to get it just where Iwanted it. You have to power down and back up to make any adjustments take effect. If you adjust too low, the tail is loose and harder to control, too much and it bounces back and forth and works too hard. Ihave finally gotten mine to where it just barely bounces and it only does that sometimes.

That is all Ihave for now. Some ideas for other stuff would be:

1. Parts suppliers Iuse RCBoca out of Florida because they have most of the common parts for the SRand MSRand ship quickly. If they don't have it, Igo find it on Ebay.

2. Videos and how to guides on how to replace key components. Those were life savers when Ihad to fix my broken head and main shaft.

3. ??????
