This helicopter is really stable so you can hover it easily. Its like a bigger version of the mSR but I really find much more stable and easy to fly the 120SR probalby because its bigger size and better tail rotor response. Most of the time I fly it outdoors and its great, fast and agile but controlable. I now use the more "aggresive" setting on the swash plate so its more responsive when there is some wind. I'm really amazed how easy to fly is this model and the build quality. The rotors are strong and can spin on their base so they don't break easily.
Highly recommend this helicopter as a second model after having some experience with a coaxial model but it can be really used sucessfully as a first model because its great stability.

The 120 SR is very forgiving, and a great chopper to progress to from coaxials. I've had it for a week now, and have learned to hover quite well and have moved on to more advanced maneuvers. I have tried to fly it outside, but it was too windy for my skill; a more experienced pilot could fly it quite easily in light to moderate wind.
The chopper is very durable, although it is not indestructible. I have broken a tail rotor and the landing gear, but both are available locally and on line at very reasonable prices (most parts are under 5 bucks). There are also several companies who sell upgraded aluminum and carbon fiber parts for these birds, so if you're into modding, you will not be disappointed.
A lot of sites compare this chopper to the mSR. I have flown a friend's mSR, and inside they handle very much alike, although you will need more room for the 120. Outside, the mSR is practically impossible to fly. The 120 has enough mass to be more stable in light...Read more

This is a video of my brother and I flying our Blade helicopters for the first time. We both have the flight simulator called Realflight so we do have some helicopter time with this program.. The blue helicopter is the blade MSR and the Yellow is my 120 SR.
