COMPLETELY uncontrollable.
I was looking for a Blade product to replace a mall copter I purchased back in November (the one that got me started in this hobby). I wanted a fixed-pitch nano I could fly inside when it was too windy outside and I didn't want to exert the focus necessary to fly my Nano CPX. I went in looking for either a mSR or a 120 SR. I know Horizon had discontinued the mSR, but sometimes there are still some out there. Today I was lucky, I thought. Went to the LHS and I saw an mSR box, marked RTF, but it had a note on it saying BNF (which is what I wanted). That should have been a warning. Anyway, it was, what I thought, simply that. A RTF without the transmitter. I agreed to purchase it and brought it home. First thing I noticed when I got it home was that the manual was for an RTF (no BNF instructions). Second thing, was there was only one battery (HH says it come with two). But the heli simply won't fly. I have flown more advanced models, and should easily be able to handle a FB FP bird. It's HORRIBLY unstable. Couple that with the fact that the vertical fin is missing, and I'm pretty sure I was sold a used helicopter. I am INCENSED. After showing my loyalty to this store, and spending a pretty good bit of money with them (purchased three helis and a whole ton of parts/batteries/charger/etc), and showing an indication to continue my patronage, and I get this crap.
Anyway, any suggestions? I took the advice of someone on one of the forums (Googled mSR setup for "DX6") and just did a basic heli model on my DX6. The bird was drifting HARD left, I fixed it by adjusting the swash. Now, it's VERY soft feeling. I have to give a WHOLE bunch of stick to make it respond to anything, and sometimes when it does, it's off to the races. I don't want to take this back to the LHS (all sales are final, so I'd have a fight on my hands to even get it to the counter), but at this point, I'd be just as well off tossing it in the garbage and buying a 120 SR. Thanks!
