    I watched all four of your videos and they were very informative. A friend of mine who is already flying various helicopters recommended that I start off with the Blade 120SR and after watching your videos, I think that he is right. Your videos were well made and easy for me as a beginner to understand. Thank you

    I would also like to suggest having canopy supports and tail rotor bearings handy in the backup parts list. After flying this bird on and off for a few months, those are the things I end up breaking/losing the most. The Helifreak forums often suggest attaching the tail rotor bearing via some thread to the tail boom, but extras are cheap and it is a vital part to keep that finicky tail motor from coming apart.
    Great series man! This is what helped me when I got mine!

    THANKS! Im glad people like you make these vids. You helped me out a great deal. My heli was wanting to drift, when I saw your vids I noticed my battery was pushed in all the way. Please keep posting.

    Thanks so very much, great video! I have two 120 SRs and noticed an annoying vertical tail bobbing characteristic during FF that got worse as the number of flights increased! Then "BINGO"..........I remembered this video about the flexing the tail rotor blade outward occasionally. It completely got rid of the bobbing! I tried battery both ways, your suggestion works for me in that I get the proper COG with yellow side down on both my 120s! Thanks again bro!!

    Great video, tightening the main baldes really makes a difference. Seems to hover better and they don't clatter about when taking off and landing. Keep up the great work. :)

    A useful trick I have found with the 120SR batteries is that, with the supplied adapter, they will charge from the mSR's 4-port charger. While the 4-port only does the CC part of the charge at 300mA, it's far better than having to wait an hour to start charging your next battery, and I've found it takes around 2 hours to charge with that charger. I have four batteries, and so it only takes 2 hours to get back outside instead of four. If you don't have the mSR BNF, it's a great value at 100.

    @vVPho3niXVv 11 лет назад

    Very informative video. Great tips for the 120sr.
    The only thing I think should be mentioned is the tail motors are a "hit and miss" situation. Some people don't have a problem, others fail almost immediately.
    I was the later, my tail motor burned out after just 4 flights. I purchased a new tail boom assembly ($16 and the tail motor alone is $12) also the tail boom comes with rotor and bearing. Has been going strong since, I've logged 20 ten minute flights on the new motor and no problems yet.

    I like my battery blue side in all the way down, balances perfect for me during flight and flies great. Maybe I'll try your suggestion though and see what differences it makes, but I think that will cause me to need to trim a lot further back.

    @escsniper 13 лет назад

    @CrazyHeliDude : E-flight recently added a small bearing to prevent the tail rotor from binding too tightly up against the motor. It pops off easily when the tail rotor comes off. Guys at my hobby shop said there's no detriment if you fly without it (obviously, since the 120 was sold without it for so long) as long as you don't push the tail rotor onto the shaft too hard...

  • @DaHUDMAN
    @DaHUDMAN 14 лет назад

    @richkeitz When the battery is installed per the manual, the heli "drifts" all over the place, which actually makes for good practice once you learn to fly it, but if you're just starting out or upgrading from a coaxial, you want it to hover, not drift. Install the battery as the video suggests & you'll minimize the drift. Try it, you'll see what I'm talking about!

  • @DaHUDMAN
    @DaHUDMAN 14 лет назад

    @Lexesbenz I thought the same thing, but I tightened mine & sure enough, it handles a little better. Before, it had a tail-wobble while hovbering, now it's smooth hovering. I'll keep experimenting, but IMHO, on the 120SR, that CrazyHeliDude is onto something.

    @CrazyHeliDude Stock charger always used. MOST of the time when it loses power and comes down I just swap it out right away, but, there have been a few times I rode it a bit longer, also might be ignorance on my part, other time I'd just holding the ship and would let the batteries run down as I thought with all batteries it was good to run them down all the way before recharge. Cameras that I use at work we always used to run the batteries down all the way before charging. Thanks.

  • @walternaz21
    @walternaz21 12 лет назад

    Thanks CrazyHeliDude.
    You are a very good instructor.
    Your video quality is perfect.
    I have fiddled with the settings on my Spektrum DX6i and I don't know how to get back to factory settings and better settings for a beginner settings, but I do not know where to find the information. Are there videos that can show how to set-up the transmitter for a beginner like me. My transmitter's settings are so bad that I can't even do much on my Phoenix sim.

    Before I sold my 120SR, I had never ever had my flybar or blades need to be replaced. I replaced the tail motor a LOT though. It always burnt out. Make sure to get one of those too guys.

    might want to add on the spare parts must have is the swash plate connection rods lost 3 of them in the grass today wasn't even a hard landing just grass grabs the blades and twisted them off heli came with 4 extras for beginners id say stock up on a full triple set (3x4) 12 additional rods they are cheap and loose a couple in the grass you wont loose a day of flying :)

    Do you know how to charge in a faster way the heli's batteries!
    Usually it takes 50 min to one hour, even more, and i find it to much!
    Is there any way, that you can charge the batteries faster?

  • @murankar
    @murankar 13 лет назад

    After fling this heli for almost week I discovered something. I upgraded to the 120 sr from the mcx big difference for me. My 120 took a nasty hit on a wall due to poor choice for practicing basic stuff. I discovered one thing that my help reduce some repair cost, and that is to slide the canopy retaining rods through the frame a few times. This will allow the rods to move easier during a side impact and prevent damage to those rods.

  • @Cantdr55
    @Cantdr55 13 лет назад

    Hi Great videos. I've used them more than once when it came to putting my 120 Sr back together. Could you tell me, which copter is the next up from these? Basically I'm ready to step up to the next size but what I'd like to get is one that has the better parts already on it instead of swapping out all the plastic parts to the CNC aluminum like I did on the 120.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rob

  • @Cantdr55
    @Cantdr55 13 лет назад

    @CrazyHeliDude Thanks again. I may upgrade to a 400/450 in the next year. One last question, batteries for the 120 sr. I got 4 when I got the bird back in Aug. Maybe had time to run them all about 15-20 flights. I hadn't flown in about 2 weeks and now none of them hold a charge long enough to fly at all. Any tips on better batteries?
    Thanks
    Rob

  • @Rtimberdog
    @Rtimberdog 13 лет назад

    @CrazyHeliDude - Not much at all. I have tried to tighten them to the point where they re tighter but will still easily drop when put on its side as well as tighter where they won't drop. I'll try it again and let you know. Before when I did it, there was more vibration than without.

  • @airbornemike380
    @airbornemike380 14 лет назад

    Hi,
    Thanks for the great videos on this heli. I just bought one recently and what I found is that when I fly it it's always tilted a few degrees clockwise looking at it from the back of the tail. I'm also having problems flying it straight forward as the heli tends to curve towards the right despite my pushing the stick straight forward. Is that normal and is it caused by the tilted heli during the flight?? How do I compensate it. I'll appreciate your feedback, Thanx!!

  • @BladeScraper

    I liked your video on the radio dip switch set up for the E-flite blue front radio , what I dont under stand Im flying a little coaxial Heli like a blade 4 and the number 9 dip you say is for gyro , will this effect the gyro on my little coaxial heli ? because there is pot settings in side on the side of the receiver or attached gyro for Gain and something else and I really dont want to mess with them yet if I can help it I just wanted to get the ecopter as stable as possible. thank you

  • @GuyofManyHobbies
    @GuyofManyHobbies 14 лет назад

    @CrazyHeliDude Thanks I did that and if flys much better! No major damage yet it def can take quite a beating. I've must've crashed about 50 times already and it still flys like its right out of the box. The skids got bent but nothing i can't fix.

  • @TheArfdog
    @TheArfdog 13 лет назад

    @Cantdr55 Try ebay for 1200 mAH, more than 2x the capacity of the stock batteries. You'll just have to charge longer and find a way to fit a bigger battery. I velcroed mine to the bottom of the canopy.

  • @Rtimberdog
    @Rtimberdog 13 лет назад

    When I tighten my main rotor blades at all, even if just to the point it becomes less than floppy, the heli becomes unbalanced. As soon as I let off and have them flop, it seems fine.

  • @Leprechaun79

  • @ckfvideo
    @ckfvideo 13 лет назад

    I notice you are missing the black part that fits between the tail rotor and the tail rotor. I lost mine as well. Do you find it makes any difference that it's gone? I found that after I lost it the heli would do nothing but spin around as if I had no tail control, but next flight it was fine.

    @thatredyota4619 11 лет назад

    honestly by my opinion i depends on how good u r keep in mind that the sr is a cp and quite a bit more complicated then the 120 i have a 120 and unless u want a good outdoor flying experience theres no point in getting a 120 because its the exact same thing as the msr if i were u id get a simulator, get good on it, then go for a 4503d but its up 2 u man

  • @nickwhite8794

    Hey Rob... was wondering if you had any experience with faulty 5-in-1 control boards for this model. My problem is that the esc portion of the board has gone bad and therefore I cannot fly her without losing all throttle control (she goes hyper-heli and doesn't want to shut off ruining more than just the helicopter). Do you know the location of the esc on this bird? I know a guy that is into electronics and I just thought you might be able to help out in background info. Thanks!

  • @DaHUDMAN
    @DaHUDMAN 14 лет назад

    @richkeitz I agree, the users manual shows it different, and I went through about 10 batteries, following the users manual. After watching the video, I turned it around & left more aft of the heli - I tried the flybar balance, and sure enough it's balanced when installed incorrectly, and unbalanced when installed correctly. So, I just went through 2 more batteries, with the batteries installed per the video, going against the manual, and I have to tell ya... THE MANUAL IS WRONG!

    Actually you want your rotor blades to be loose, otherwise they cause your heli to wobble. We have experimented many times. You need them looser so they can flew upward easier.

    And yes, the manual does show the proper way to install the battery, is with the ridge on the plastic of the battery, pointed down .... which is the blue side DOWN.. (see page 6 )

    @hankinson10 12 лет назад

    Everyone wishes to be able to fly constantly and not have to recharge batteries. I would be careful if you choose to get 2 or 3 batteries to let the main motor and especially the tail motor to cool if it gets to hot. The tail motor is small and tends to overheat if you fly your heli hard so be careful. If anyone knows any tricks on helping to cool this motor let me know, I know I'm not the only person this has happened to.
