which blade to go with??

[firstyear50]

so i picked up a super cheap piece of junk rc heli a couple weeks ago.. it doesn't fly very well, but it still was enough to make me want to get a little more into the hobby. im still quite a noob, but have done quite a bit of research on which one to buy next. i've got it narrowed down to the blade mcx2, or the 120 sr. which one would be more appropriate for a novice like myself? i'd just get the mcx2, but i don't think i want one that small. any input is appreciated!

I have a 120 i really like. Its been good for a lot , landing drills and working with different orientations. Im a beginner myself btw... So for a starter i would certainly recomend the 120

120sr. You'll outgrow the mcx2 in a week. Personally a good progression for blades is the msr or 120sr, then mCPx, then to a 450 flybarless heli.

The SR120 is a challenge to learn to fly but if you kill the power before a crash a lot of times you probably won't break anything, depending where you fly. The mcx2 is for complete beginners who want to fly it right now without practice or for kids. My daughter flies an mcx2 but she doesn't plan to put in the time it would take to fly the SR120. I did learn how to fly fixed pitch without a sim but I used a big open warehouse floor and scooted it around a lot with training gear. Eventually I could hover but a sim is what you really need. Although the SR120 is light years better than what I had. Soon after learning to hover the addiction sets in thoroughly.

Consider the MSRX. Good training heli and much more crash resistant than the 120.

do yourself a favor and get the MCPX. you'll end up saving money with this purchase. The 120 isn't a great bird and the mcx you'll soon outgrow.
