My Posts This: Topic Forum | Welcome everyone to the newly announced mSR Club. I know for sure there is one lucky guy out there that actually owns one already, but for the rest of us... we should be getting our pre-ordered machines in the next 2-4 weeks. I was at IRCHA and spoke with Mark about the mSR, it's release dates, and get a close-up look at its capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses. As a previous owner of the mCX, I can say... this little thing is like comparing a firebird to a '68 VW Bug. It has so much more maneuverability and speed, along with its hinged blades for impact damage prevention.
For those interested, you can purchase extra batteries thru helidirect, outrage, and flightmax for sure. They might be slightly different mah's, but will all still fit in the battery cradle on the mSR. I hope everyone has a great time with it, and can post up any problems / fixes once it is released. By the look of my order on horizonhobby.com, it seems that there are three batches that have been setup for release at different times. The earliest being the beginning of september 09', the 2nd being the end of September, and the 3rd being the first 2 weeks in October. I say... buy them now, while you can still order them pretty easily.
Hopefully, our patience in waiting won't be in vein. Horizon Hobby... don't fail us now!
