Blade MSR Confirmed. PICs Below + video and video review
Article from eflite: Weighing in at under one ounce, the nimble Blade® mSR RTF takes ultra-micro helicopter performance to the next level. It comes from the factory completely assembled and flight tested with everything you need to get flying. At the heart of the Blade mSR’s design is a Bell-Hiller rotor head that provides the kind of speed and agility you would expect of a single-rotor heli but maintains a measure of positive stability similar to a co-axial heli. This blend of agility and stability makes it the ideal “next step” for someone moving up from a coaxial heli, such as the Blade CX3 or Blade mCX. For single-rotor ultra-micro heli excitement you can fly almost anywhere, the Blade mSR simply can’t be beat. Specs: Type: Ultra Micro Single Rotor Helicopter Main Rotor Diameter: 7.0 in (180mm) Length: 7.5 in (190mm) Motor Size: Coreless/Micro coreless Kit/ARF/RTF: RTF Experience Level: Intermediate Recommended Environment: Indoor/Outdoor Is Assembly Required: No Link to manufacturer: http://www.e-fliterc.com/Default.aspx Link to distributer: http://www.horizonhobby.com/RC/Default.aspx Link to product page: http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=EFLH3000 Prices RTF 179.99 BNF 149.99 A video review from a user

the transition from co-ax to single rotor had been very challenging and difficult to a lot of people this will definitely be the perfect step up heli
this vid shows the msr hitting wall and touts its durability i would guess even experienced CP flyers would want to have this in their fleet comes with 4 port charger to charge 4 batteries at the same time and 2 lipo batteries included bnf or rtf version.

Will be interesting to hear what all of the Walkera guys have to say about this one... and the mods that will come with it!!
I purchased a 4#3Q after reading and learning from everyone on here. Looks like this will be my next one! Estimated ETA is end of August!!! Per post from Horizon rep in Micro RTF forum. |

yup
dual rate setting on the stock TX and 2 swash link settings HH[Eflite] is marketing this mainly for coax flyers wanting to fly SINGLE ROTOR for the first time. Im almost sure experienced CP[and fp] flyers will want this on their fleet. |

Definitely a "wait and see" kind of heli. I had too many issues with the MCX to want to do that again.

Absolutely! This is the heli!
Very nice, sure adds that extra element many coaxials are missing. Single rotor with true tail rotor and stability similar to other single rotor easy to fly helis already out there like the Quark, Kestrel, etc. but in a cool size just makes for much more exciting flights.

It doesn't even need to be brushless, that thing looks awesome.
I was hoping they would sell something like a BNF "lite" which would just have t he heli and maybe one battery. For those of us with MCXs and have wall chargers and batteries already it would be nice to see a BNF version for $100-125 |

dual brushless 4#3b $139. I think full brushless is expected now days. Tired of getting milked for replacement motors, when the technology exist use it.

I dunno for 180 bucks it seems a bit overpriced, i would of thought 150 - i guess we will know if it's worth the $ when people start flying them.
