Thinking of getting an e-flight heli been watching vids on it. like some feed back from people who own them and any problems and they seem to have a tail wag.

I have one and have had the following problems

1. Servos - the e-flite servos are not the best and have been known to have problems.. Mine did in the SR and the Blade 400 as per the video below

I changed the servos for the Hitech HS65 MGs and have not had a problem since.

2. the head parts wear fairly quickly.. after 100 flights everything was very sloppy and I replaced the rubber bushings in the head..

3, Mine had a severe tail wag but I fixed it by removing the gyro and installing 3 layers of double sided foam and reducing the gain.. It now flies very well

The stock blue colours are terrible for orientation against a blue sky.. I changed that also as per the photo below..

Its a decent heli now but required a reasonable amount of work...



If you want a much better helicopter for much less money then consider a TREX clone.. I have several and they are much better to fly (easier yet far more capable also) than the Blade SR

Here is a link for more info.. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9990427/tm.htm

That link got me started and now I have 6 of them.. The SR is in the front.. for a size comparison.
