Great scott! A giant mSR!

I personally would love to have one.
Apart from an mSR, I have a number of small Walkera helis. Flying helis is the part that I enjoy the most and the larger size along with its DSM2 capability for me would make a perfect outdoor flier. |

But for 20$ more you can get a full bl cp SR.

I already own a full bl cp SR.
I suspect that the heli will eventually be available as a BNF at a cheaper price. |

From a marketing standpoint, I can see EXACTLY why they went this way, and it was a VERY smart move for E-Flite. The collective-pitch "SR" was supposed to be a cost-effective step-up heli, but proved to be too advanced for the typical advancing novice mSR pilot, and too entry-level for the true advanced pilot with its under-performing tail rotor. The SR was an all-new design that had some bugs to get worked out early on.
The 120SR on the other hand, is based off a proven design (the mSR), potentially incorporating updates and improvements on the mSR design to appeal to those of us who wanted more from the mSR. Much like the mSR, the 120SR is likely going to see its fair share of the typical bent/broken anti-rotation guides and worn, sloppy flybar holes. Think about this for a second: The Blade 400 3D is the most advanced heli that Eflite builds, and many advanced pilots still consider it to be a toy. E-flite is diversifying their heli line-up by adding a mid-sized micro with proven features, fairly easy to fly like the mSR, but not as advanced and expensive to fix as the SR. I sure hope they get their parts supply on-shore and in-stock before they get the ball rolling. Bothe the mSR and the SR have been plagued with parts availability issues shortly after release, and it gives the entire line a bad name. |
