I took the MSRx outside for a fly today. It's way better outside than anything else that I have. I think the faster rotor speed holds it much better in the breeze.
We had a slight breeze and short bursts of faster breezes with no warning. The heli flew great in the gentle breeze and when the gusts came, it reacted but nothing like as much as the 120 sr or anything else that I have. I could hold it with the aileron in quite strong gusts.
It still lifted a bit, but instant throttle cut brought it down and it just hovered again.
This is a really nice heli to fly outside while still being a fixed blade. The more I fly it, the more I like it and it's extremely fast as well.
I've worn one of the the blade grips balls out so that it just dropped off!!!! So the MSRx is in the hangar for a few days until I get new blade grips. Not expensive.
This is the first heli I've damaged except for those damned skids on the V2!!! (From wear though because I have flown it a lot)
Anyway, all up and running in a few days again.
Mike, if you still have it, try it outside. It is superb and is SO close to flying a mini CP. You realise that those flybars are all well and good, but they actually hold you back outdoors. This little heli fights back and copes really well as long as you can actually fly it.
What I find really quite strange, is the helis that are difficult to fly, go much better outside in the wind. I guess it's because you're only fighting the wind and not the wind plus the damned stabilisation. I now feel that the MSR is over stablilised and the V2 even more than the MSR which is great for beginners, but pants for outdoor flying since you have two things to contend with; the wind blowing it all over the place and the stabilisation pulling back against the moves you make.
The MSRx really cuts through and even in a side blast, when the body gets hit as well, the aileron pushed it back into position easily. Forwards is another thing. It goes so fast that it will lift and virtually hover up there on 50% of what you normally use indoors.
However, much less transitional lift with it as well so if you move forwards fast, it doesn't shoot upwards like going up a slide, which is what the MSR has a tendency to do.
The more I fly these things, the more I feel the need for collective pitch.
I'm even brushing up on flying real helicopters now and going back all through the theory!!!!
Mind you, that's different because air pressures up there and temperatures are very different and if I was a passenger inside the MSRx, I'd probably be sick!!!!
