Wow , thanks for the advice guys. I ain't got it yet, although I would have , if RC Pitstop would have been open on Saturday !!

So the DX5 aint much good ??

I just thought it an attractive deal as it was only an extra £20 over the RTF version with the stock tranny, and the DX5 looks a lot better than the stock tranny

Only problem is.... its an Xmas present from the missus, which started as an ESky honey bee at about £70 and has gradually crept up to £120 for the RTF SR120 , then to £139 for the DX5 SR120..... !!!.... on top of the other stuff she has bought me !!

Soooooo..... How naff is the DX5 ?? How naff is the stock tranny ??

How much am I looking at for the BNF version with a DX6i ??

Is it really worth it, or do I just go for the RTF version for now and look at a DX6i if I get the bug and start lookin at other helis ????

Cheers for the input fellas !!

Pete, I understand your situation so if I was in your shoes and having the experience I have with the stock tx, I would personally recommend sticking with stock, get used to the way the Heli handles atleast then when you later update to the DX6i or DX7 you will appreciate the difference in how a well set up tx can take your flying experience tothe next level with the same heli, this tx will then transfer to any of the other Eflight heli's and will adapttoany other heli with the corresponding rx fitted.

I will be down Deeside this weekend to discuss the club but I will bring my mSR for you to have a look at. If conditions are calm enough have a go.
 
I was beggining to think that too mate !!

I will be a total noob to the heli scene so the stock RTF setup should do me fine for now. And if the bug bites, I can go for a Dx6 later on, before the larger helis start arriving !!

Doubt I'm going to be able to make it to Deeside this Sunday, but will let ya know. Would love to see your MSR in action though. The vids ive seen of it on yootoob look ACE !!

(BTW... what do ya reckon on this ?? Was thinkin of buying myself a cheap sim before i get my heli at xmas to help the learning curve !!. don't wanna spend too much on it tho !!

I thought that mode 2 seemed more popular.

Anyone know anything about "DirectX" ?? Its mentioned on the system requirements for this sim but I don't know if my laptop has it ??

Anyone got any advice ??? Cheers :D

I kinda thought that. Seemed a bit too cheap too ??

Ive just ordered my Heli Master Flight Sim. DEAD excited about getting even that !!

Should be getting the Heli soon too. Pretty sure its going to be the Blade 120 SR RTF. Have researched it loads and looks great. But sadly Santa has got to keep hold of it until Xmas day ! BOOO! :(
