Review of the Blade mSR Electric Micro RC Helicopter by E-flite
It's a whole new playing field!
The Blade mSR from E-flite is marvel of modern engineering. Never before has a radio controlled helicopter of this size been as agile, controllable, and robust. While there are cheaper copies of it, the quality of the Blade mSR is unsurpassed. While it is small, small enough to lift off from the palm of your hand and fly in your living room, it is a 4-channel, real, fully operational helicopter. It is not one of those toy helicopters that has coaxial blades and a tail rotor that pushes it fo...

Radio Controlled Boat Collecting
Radio-controlled boat
The hobby of radio controlled boats has four main categories: nitro, gas, sail, and electric. The advantage of electric is the ease of maintenance, the relatively cheap price, and the quite electric motor which allows you to play without disturbing other people. How fast does it go? The basic entry level, ready to run radio controlled boat kits can go 15 - 20 mph. This is already very fast, especially if this is your first time with the hobby. And as your skill level progresses, you can upgra...

Electric Micro RC Helicopters
Getting into the RC helicopter hobby and learning to fly has never been easier and cheaper for a beg
With the advances in lithium-polymer hybrid (LiPo) battery technology and miniaturization of electronic components such as servos, gyros, and motors, radio controlled helicopters can now be built in sizes that were previously unthinkable. I grew up wanting to fly RC helicopters, but they were big, expensive machines that ran on nitro gas. Nowadays, however, small, electric helicopters available for reasonable prices. And best of all is that these helis, while small, offer all the controls an...

Blade mCX Electric Micro RC Helicopter by E-flite
The best beginner full 4-channel radio controlled coaxial helicopter there is!
The Blade mCX from E-flite is the perfect entry into the radio controlled helicopter hobby. Unlike toy-grade 3-channel coaxial helicopters with a small pushing propeller at the back and without true cyclic movement, the Blade mCX is a proper hobby-grade 4-channel helicopter, just like its bigger cousins. With proper 4-channel cyclic controls, you can go up and down, yaw to the left and ride, fly forward and backward, but also move sideways left and right - just like real helicopters do! While...
