New! - Blade SR 6 ch CP!!!!!!

[scarface26]

Coming soon to a LHS near you! E-Flite is coming out with a new 6 channel CP called the SR. It is a 2.4 Gh RTF (only) heli that weighs in at 12 oz., and operates on a 11.1 volt 1000Mah battery. Rotor diameter is 21.8". It has an E-Flite G110 heading lock gyro, a 3900Kv brushless main motor, and has a direct drive tail motor. The price is $199.00 and it is due out mid Feb. Similar in appearance to the mSR, but larger. There are photos on the Horizon Hobby website. ;D

Looks like a smaller version of the Blade CP Pro, almost the size of a trex 250. I was kinda hoping they would come out with a small CP heli that is still on the scale of the mCX and mSR (or a mCP, if you will). Something that will be comparable to the Walkera 4g3, 4g6 or Novus CP.

I`m not buying one. Really I`m not. Seriously. I swear. I`m just looking (this is what I told my wife, she looked over my shoulder as I was reading the post). Oh boy, if I got it, she would divorce me I think...................

It could be a winner if they did away with the motorized tail. Plus, Horizon isn't supplying a BNF version anytime soon, so you're stuck with another Tx to add to your collection.

I posted the SR release over in beginners. I think this might be a great transitional heli. At least that's what it's intended to be. Serious addicts not withstanding. ;D

Happy landings

The HP6 is actually a nice radio that should be easy to sell on eBay for $85 or so.
It will bind to all the same RX's a DX6i or DX7 will.

The heli has a 6100e RX so it will bind to any DSM2 radios.

Well, it seems that Horizon is now considering selling a BNF version after the feedback they received on various forums.

I can see their point of only offering RTF versions since they are advertising this as a transitional heli and they've programmed in a basic beginners setup in the Tx. They might lose that control if they go to a BNF. We'll see what transpires.

It is an awful good price you can hardly buy the CX2 for that so Colin did you order one after she left the room??? Ray

[nunyabizniss34]

Ray, you are going to get me in trouble ;D But no I didn't, besides they aren't available yet. I have my hands full with the T-Rex 250 as it is, the last thing I need is another heli ........ wait, did I really just type that? I need a drink.........I must be delirious

Actually you're right Dave, I don't need another one...yet The next one I buy is going to be a 500 size but that's not going to be for a while yet. But I'm done hijacking this thread now

Make me an offer.
The time might be right.Seriously.

[nunyabizniss34]

Ernie, you have no idea how much I would love to take you up on that offer. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we are planning a trip to Jamaica in April so most of my money is going to be tied up in the trip. But if it's still available after that, we'll talk then. Thanks anyway dude! ;D

Colin

[McKrackin]

You sure?
I was thinking in the $650 BNF range with the Helicommand installed.

That's not going to last long!
