Blade mSR V2

About

The Blade mSR V2 is the second-version refinement of the Blade mSR, a micro fixed-pitch single-rotor helicopter from Horizon Hobby's Blade product line. The original mSR was one of the most successful indoor micro helicopters of the late 2000s and early 2010s, putting genuine single-rotor RC heli flying within reach of beginner pilots at a price and complexity level that fixed-pitch coaxial helis dominated up to that point.

Like every well-loved micro fixed-pitch single-rotor heli, the mSR V2 earns its place in the hobby by being three things at once: small enough to fly indoors safely, simple enough that a beginner can handle the controls without crashing on first flight, and durable enough to survive the inevitable mistakes of learning rotorcraft flight. Fixed-pitch construction means the airframe is mechanically simpler than a collective-pitch heli, with rotor speed (rather than rotor pitch) controlling lift.

The mSR V2 was an iterative improvement over the original mSR — better stability, refined motor and ESC, and small ergonomic tweaks that made it a better beginner helicopter for indoor flying.

In the simulator

A friendly entry into single-rotor helicopter flying. Slow, stable, predictable handling at indoor scale. Use it to learn the basic single-rotor control coordination before stepping up to a collective-pitch heli like the mCP-X in this same pack.
