My vote is for the MSR. The tandem rescue is cool but will not really offer much more challenge. What are your future plans in this hobby?

I agree with 9sec240 advance to the MSR or do like I do and get them all. This is just my micro mini fleet as I have others.

If you want a BNF then the MSR is about the only choice you have as far as advancing.

I would not say it is much harder to fly than the MCX but the helicopter is much more capable. You can get enough speed going on an MSR to run out of room really quick.

The mSR is very stable for a single rotor bird, but it is a lot faster in foward and reverse flight. It is also more responsive as well. It is the "hot rod" of E-Flite's ultra micro fleet. It is pretty easy to fly if you have mastered the mCX but if you decide to go crazy on the sticks, it will get out reach very quickly. And is has an adjustable swashplate setting (you move the control links to another set of control balls) that makes it even more aggressive. You won't be dissapointed IMHO!

I always find it amusing when young people state their age as if it's a reason to not have any money. I hate to break it to you, but being older doesn't necessarily mean you'll have any more money than you do now. Just wait and see - although you may make more, you'll also have a LOT more expenses... bills, rent or morgage, car payments, insurance, groceries, etc... I wish I could go back to when I was 18 - I had SO MUCH more disposable income back then... hehe.

Oh, and getting back on track, I agree the mSR will be the way to go. The tandem really wouldn't be a "step up" at all, it's just something different.

Good luck

Go with the MSr and don't get frustrated with it.

The tandem is more fun than the MCX but you are still limited in what you can do with it.
