I have no experience flying 6 channel helicopters but I don't find 4 channel very challenging should I give it a shot or buy something cheaper first.

Best advice I can give is buy a flight simulator r helicopters to learn how to flight 6ch can be scary if u don't have the know how.

Also, a lot of people love this heli, and a lot of people love this heli but say the servos are weak, cyclic/tail. I fly in Houston summer weather. ESC and tail server do get hot, but I have got about 60+ flights with it, no issues yet.The devo 7 is a good radio. I like the feel of it. I did however upgrade to the 8s. You have got more options as to what you can fly with deviation software available now.

It will be a challenge. If you think you are a good 4 ch flyer and can step up to CP no problem, you are in for a treat. It is tough, and it feels like you are learning all over.That said, this is a good flying heli. And it is hard to find a less expensive rtf 450 size. The flybarless system and 6 channel makes it fairly stable.First thing to do if you get this one is turn down the elev/ail EXT pot on the receiver. There is no stick banging allowed like you can with a 4 ch.

I've flown 4 ch helps for about 3 month before I bought this bird this is a easy heli to fly once you get you practice in I love this bird

Give it a shot, but be warned the cyclic servos and esc are weak and I only got about 25 flights in before I experienced servos burning out and causing accidents

At the right setting, it's just like flying a 4 channel, and then it gives you room to grow. Also, definitely get training gear to minimize crash damage when first starting out.

Yes, the Syma S107 is a great helicopter. Strictly indoors, but can't beat it for durability, stability, and ease of use. I absolutely recommend this heli as an entry level copter, then upgrading to a 3.5 channel, than the 4 channel fixed pitch such as this product your currently looking at.

It is a remote control. I wouldn't suggest this as a first helicopter for a child; 12 year old to learn on, as it is a 4 channel helicopter. Now if he/she has had plenty of practice and is proficient with a 3 channel helicopter, this is definitely the next step up from there. It is an awesome 4 channel flying helicopter, but I personally feel it is a graduated step up from the basics of a 3 channel helicopter. I recommend the Syma S107/S107G R/C Helicopter Helicopters for starters. They are some excellent 3 channel; up/down, left/right, forward/backward flying helicopters for anyone that is just learning to fly and you can usually buy them for around $20. I hope this helps.

I would look at real flight or phoenix you don't really need the same model as collective pitch helicopter are similar exp fly bar and fly bar less. This is not a beginner helicopter it is better to start with a co ax and go from there. The p phoenix flight Sim is compatible with the same transmitter that all blade helicopters can use. You might want to look at the heli freak forums (goggle it) the members there are a fountain of knowledge and are willing to help any one.

Absolutely. No difference and what a great helicopter you will enjoy it, hope this helps you

If you flew the V911 you should be able to work on mSRX. It's a good heli, it doesn't have flybar and won't autocorrect or return to horizontal position itself unless you tell her to do it. Is a bit faster than V911 and the last step before collective pitch helicopters, in fact it feels very close to one. Reading your history of other Helis, I believe that you want to progress on this hobby, so: buy the mSRX (BNF no TX), 2 or 3 lipos, and buy a good radio TX ie DX6i, because this heli with stock TX is difficult to control. With a programmable TX you can tame it down properly, and it will serve you when you decide to step on bigger stuff. DX6i holds 10 aircraft in memory. Anyway....buy it.

Yes you can. In fact, if you have little to no wind where your live, I'd recommend it if this is your first time learning how to fly a helicopter. I'm a first-timer, it helped me. I've only flown mine a few times and flying it outside once instantly made me a better driver. There's more room to play around, obviously, so you can learn the controls better.

I would say it's for intermediate/beginner. It's like the syma s108g except you can an go left/right as well. If you've already gotten good with a coaxial helicopter (the two bladed kind) you probably want to go for a 1 bladed one like the Blade 120 SR. If you want a super expert one, go for the Blade nano CP or some other collective pitch heli.

I started with the b6-4 and had no problems. My guess is they say to start small so you can get used to the rocket if you have not launched them before. They do have quite a bit of power and might go higher than most people would expect of not familiar with them.

It is par say ready to fly, but, if you do not have 6 channel flybar experience, this is NOT the one for you ! These are difficult to fly!

Should be similar to the v911, a little better though - flybarless is definitely better than flybarred. I say go for it, especially now the price is low! Just take your time learning it. I also recommend getting a Spektrum DX6i transmitter if you don't already. It's a great first "real" transmitter and works out of the box with all the Blade helicopters. You'll fly better than with the plastic included one, and it'll be all you need all the way up to large helis.

easy to fly, yes. Worth the money, maybe. I suggest you go with the Syma 107 helicopter first. It's $5 cheaper, little longer flight time, and slightly easier to handle.

I really don't know but I think if your into electronics you might be able to. Being a beginer I started out with a 3 channel coaxial and find when you go to 4 channel you keep going back to the 3 channel mode and if your a little older like my self it makes it a little harder to remember,the thing iv've seen is the number 2 mode from over in Europe, maybe you can look into getting a new tramsmitter that is mode 2 PS I bought the flysky 6 channel fs-tg and after I received it I had to return it because it can't bind with the h825 g heli, it's mostly used for plane flying as much I hated to go back to the original tran.,witch I don't like.

That's going to be very hard. This brand of helicopter, was just a travesty from creation. I recommend you do what I did, just throw it away and purchase a better unit. Hope this piece of honesty works for you.

Honestly ,,, if you are going to spend a hundred bucks on a simulator I would just put another fifty with it and buy an mcpx . Sims are good for learning inverted control movements but can't compare to actually flying a machine . Find a grassy area and have fun . I have crashed my mcpx no less than a hundred times at a cost to fix of maybe 30$ . Stock up on main rotor linkages and order an extra servo for the main rotor and you will have loads of fun :-). Just my opinion , have a great time .

It will work just fine. I am using the exact same set up for for three of my four channel planes.

I found it very easy to fly if you are an experienced CP pilot a little under powered on a hot day. Like others said if you are coming from a 3 or 4 channel mall helicopter you will crash in under. 60 seconds and it will either be totaled or over $100 in damages
