e-Flight Blade MSR RC Micro Indoor Helicopter Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2010-01-05
so today I'm gonna be unboxing a product that I have been eagerly awaiting in the mail it's not a computer part but it is a personal purchase I grabbed a blade MSR remote-control helicopter ok I got it from great hobbies I've actually shopped there a few times it's been overall a good experience their websites decent you know the shipping times are pretty fast so it's a pretty pretty good ok so it doesn't say a whole lot about this on the box but what it does say is that it's perfect for anyone who's flown oblate CX 3 or mcx it's a hundred percent factory assembly test flown assembled assembled test flown and ready to fly it has a unique rotor head designed to provide nimble response plus positive stability that's one of the ones that I was after because I'm not a great heli pilot but I have spent a lot of time in the sim so I'm looking for something that I can grow into and from what I've heard about this heli it's OK for beginners but there's a lot of room to grow into it so that's pretty cool it does require a four-channel 2.4 gigahertz dsm2 transmitter which is sold separately and it includes a four port charger now it also says here it comes with everything that you need to get going except for the transmitter you can even use such as the such as this such as comes with a couple spare parts it advertises some optional glow-in-the-dark weighing in a weighs in at under one else which is pretty cool ok anyway let's get this thing opened up I'm gonna point the point the camera sort of more at the couch here and we can get this box up at this time there we go ok so inside the first thing we will find is the BNF instruction manual so that stands for bind and fly which means that it's ready to go all you need is a transmitter the RTF ones are mean ready to fly and they do come with a transmitter ok additional smart smart bind information so here's a little bit of info about making sure that it's bound properly to your receiver ok or I start you to your transmitter prior to me okay there's the BNF instruction manual it's quite thick but what I'm going to assume is that wow no it's not even a whole lot of languages let me see this might be strictly English yeah that's a beefy manual there you can see there's a whole lot of info going on they're all right better make sure I read that important read manual for full safety and warranty information but this seems to be a quickness it is a QuickStart guide so it includes a QuickStart guide on how to quickly bind it initialize the aircraft and etc etc alright then you've got an instruction manual for the charger that comes with it this is awesome because I had a it parks on vapor before that came with I believe the same kind of batteries as this heli but the difference was that it came with like this fail charger that didn't have an AC to DC adapter which is here the next thing I'm going to take out of the box and all it had was the ability to run off double-a batteries so basically you're charging your a little lithium polymer batteries here off of doublea's I mean that's stupid charging a battery off another battery so this one comes with a nice four port charger so you can plug in up to four of these batteries which is great because I have a couple already the one that came with my vapor I bought a spare the one that came with my SM 26 I think it's called got another plane but yeah so you can charge four of these at a time and you can run it either off an AC adapter or you can fill it up with batteries should you require that which is like just oh I mean I guess that's great if you're at the know I guess that's great if you're at the park or whatever okay it also comes with some spare parts here so I believe it outlines all of the spare parts that comes with on the outside of the box but I could yeah okay so it includes a spare tail rotor spare fly bar for spare body grommets and a handy swash plate calibration tool so that is what we will find inside just gonna show you what we got here so there's them here are some grommets and then we've got oh wow these are really small parts but it be careful with this there's your spare tail rotor okay there's a little screwdriver thanks guys just in case you don't have a screwdriver okay then yeah whatever this is this might be the calibration tool not actually sure and then we've a couple little guys here okay there we go so that's all of the parts included with the blade MSR and then the last thing of course is the heli itself as I said before it weighs in at less than one ounce and the overall length I think they also list that on here is 7.9 inches or 20 centimeters so it's a 20 centimeter long heli you can see that okay so let's start with the road the main rotor up at the top so it's gonna spin this way and you can see that the way it's designed these actually move a little bit one of the demo videos I saw of this particular heli actually showed them crashing it into a door and then picking it up putting it back on the floor and flying it again so the way they're advertising this is that it's supposed to be quite durable and actually the guy at at the hobby store great hobby said that probably I'm more likely to break things like the tail rotor and less likely to break the main rotor okay so you can see down here you've got all of these sensitive electronics inside the helicopter there try and get you a good look at all of that okay and then here's a look from the other side I wish I could fly this thing for you but I'm like not wanting to necessarily bust it up and I'm just in a basement here with flaking eight-foot ceilings so yeah like I said I'm not a great heli pilot by any stretch of the imagination down at the bottom here you can see there's a little housing for the battery to fit into and I wish I knew more about this thing but I did not as much research as I probably should have anyway thank you for checking out my unboxing of the blade MSR oh yeah here's the transmitter I'm going to be using for my trusty dx7 and I hope to get back to you guys with something that isn't a horror crash story shortly
