Took out the SR with 2 full li-pos slid around for part of the 1st then started to pop it up and down till battery was gone put in 2nd batt and started to hover around in short bursts trying to keep it up a little longer each time.Did pretty good I think

had fun that's all I know

Excellent!! Glad to hear you are moving along! Keep going slow so you don't get over your head quickly.

Good to here someone is getting in some good flight time with the SR. Myself and Shredded Paper went out Sun Morn. Flying weather was great. Brett did really good, I, not so good with the SR. Tried later that day. Monday made a run to the LHS for parts. I am starting to pull my hair out, that is what is left. It might be time to go hit up Larry at Century Helicopters for a flight in the Real R44 , or the Jet Ranger.

Way to go Jmn, dont do what I did and get too cocky too quickly, and crash it. You can get a false sense of experience and do to much too fast,lol......

Thats how it's done! Little by little.The SR is not the most stable platform and can end up in your face if you're not careful! I love mine now, but didn't the first year I had it.Congrats and good luck.

Take this statement literally! Lol, that's where crashes happen, but good on ya for the hovers! The first steps in the journey, many more firsts to come and all just as exciting or more so!

This seems like the tale of the tape. I have one waiting in the box. But she shall not sniff the air until I have sufficiently and thoroughly crashed my newly acquired (but used) MCPX enough times.
