My Posts This: Topic Forum | With the mSR, when you try and do something simple that doesn't require negative pitch like a stall turn, it can't do it.
You go full speed forward and pull back into a vertical leg up. You decrease the rotor speed so that it will continue vertically, give it 180 degrees worth of rudder to flip it around at the top of the stall, and then give back elevator to level out--it can't do it. The problem is that since it is fixed pitch, now the rotor speed has decreased such that you have no more control over the cyclic and the helicopter just mushes down towards the ground.
A fixed pitch helicopter should have no problem doing a roll or a loop if it has plenty of altitude. But the mSR is made to be very stable at center stick. Even with the balls on the outer links, 90% expo on all of the controls, and 135% ATV on all 3 controls--it still doesn't have enough control authority to do anything fun.
As I said in my other post, this helicopter is pretty much just for simple stuff like hovering or maybe figure 8's. It would be ideal for someone trying to learn how to hover nose in.
