so today I'm going to be unboxing a product that I have been eagerly
awaiting in the mail it's not a computer part but it is a personal purchase I
grabbed a Blade mSR remote control
helicopter okay I got it from Great Hobbies I've actually shopped there a
few times it's been overall a good experience their website's decent you
know the shipping times are pretty fast so it's uh pretty pretty good okay so it
doesn't say a whole lot about this on the box but what it does say is that
it's perfect for anyone who has flown a blade cx3 or MCX it's 100% Factory test
flone assembled assembled test flone and
ready to fly it has a unique rotorhead design to provide Nimble response plus
positive stability that's one of the ones that I was after because I'm not a
great heli pilot but I have spent a lot of time in the Sim so I'm looking for
something that I can grow into and from what I've heard about this heli it's
okay for beginners but there's a lot of room to grow into it so that's pretty
cool it does require a four Channel 2.4 GHz dsm2 transmitter which is sold
separately and it includes a four port charger now it also says here it comes
with everything that you need to get going except for the transmitter you can
even use such as the such as the such as comes with a couple spare parts it
advertises some optional glow-in-the-dark weighing in it weighs
in at under 1 o which is pretty cool
okay anyway let's get this thing opened up I'm going to point the point the
camera sort of more at the couch here
and we can get this box open just kind of there we go okay so inside the first
thing we will find is the BNF instruction manual so so that stands for
bind and fly which means that it's ready to go all you need is a transmitter the
RTF ones are mean ready to fly and they do come with a transmitter um okay
additional smart smart bind information so here's a little bit of info about
making sure that it's bound properly to your receiver okay or sorry to your
transmitter pardon me okay there's the BNF instruction manual it's quite thick
but what I'm going to assume is that wow no it's not even a whole lot of languages let me see this might be
strictly English yep that's a beefy manual there you can see there's a whole
lot of info going on in there all right better make sure I read that
important read manual for full safety and warranty information but this seems
to be a quick yes it is a quick start guide so it includes a quick start guide
on how to quickly bind it initialize the aircraft and etc etc all right then
you've got an instruction manual for the charger that comes with it this is
awesome because I I had a um what is IT
Park Zone Vapor before that came with I believe the same kind of batteries as
this heli but the difference was that it came with like this fail charger that
didn't have an AC to DC adapter which is here the next thing I'm going to take
out of the box and all it had was the ability to run off ablea batteries so
basically you're charging your little
um Lithium Polymer batteries here off of
doublea's I mean that's stupid charging a battery off another battery so this
one comes with a nice four port charger so you can plug in up to four of these
batteries which is great because I have a couple already um the one that came
with my vapor I bought a Spare the one that came with my uh sm26 I think it's
called got another plane but yeah so you can charge four of these at a time and
you can run it either off an AC adapter or you can fill it up with batteries
should you require that which is like just a I mean I guess that's great if
you're at the no I guess that's great if you're at the park or whatever okay it
also comes with some spare parts here so I believe it out all of the spare parts
that comes with on the outside of the box but I could be mistaken yeah okay so
it includes a spare tail rotor spare fly
bar four spare body grommets and a handy swash plate calibration tool so that is
what we will find inside just going to show you what we got here so there's the
one here are some
grommets and then we've got oh wow these are really small parts better be be
careful with this there's your spare tail rotor okay there's a little screwdriver
thanks guys just in case you don't have a screwdriver okay then you whatever
this is this might be the calibration tool not actually sure and then we've
got a couple little guys here okay there
we go so that's all of the parts included with the Blade mSR and then the
last thing of course is the heli itself
as I said before it weighs in at less than 1 oz and the overall length I think
they also list that on here is 7.9 in or
20 cm so it's a 20 cm long heli you can
see the okay so let's start with the RoR
the main rotor up at the top so it's going to spin this way and you can see
that the way it's designed these actually move a little bit one of the demo videos I saw of this particular
heli actually showed them crashing it into a door and then picking it up
putting it back on the floor and flying it again so the way they're advertising
this is that it's supposed to be quite durable and actually the guy at um at
the hobby store great hobby said that probably I'm more likely to break things
like the tail rotor and less likely to break the main rotor okay so you can see
down here we've got all of the sensitive Electronics inside the helicopter there
try and get you a good look at all of that okay and then here's a look from
the other side I wish I could fly this thing for you but I'm like not wanting
to necessarily busted up and I'm just in a basement here with like an 8ft ceiling
so I'm yeah like I said I'm not a great helip by any stretch of the imagination
down at the bottom here you can see there's a little housing for the battery to fit into and I wish I knew more about
this thing but I did not as much research as I probably should have
anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing of the Blade mSR oh yeah here's
the uh transmitter I'm going to be using for it my trusty DX7 and I hope to get
back to you guys with uh something that isn't a horror crash story shortly
