Horizon Hobby and E-Flite did things a little different this time. Typically E-Flite makes the larger size heli first, then follows up closely with the micro version. In this case out first was the E-Flite mSR released shortly after IRCHA 2009, and has gone to become a very big hit. The mSR featured improved agility while still maintaining good stability over the Blade mCX. Now E-Flite has followed up with the latest Blade SR which is a complete RTR out of the box with lipo and a Spektrum 2.4ghz radio. The Blade SR is a great stepping stone for people looking to upgrade from a Blade CX coaxial heli to a more agile variable pitch single-rotor heli with tail motor.
