I just wanted to keep you updated that a review is in the making. This thing is just too much fun, and it is hard to think about doing a review when I can't stop for a moment to reflect on each flight as I scramble to fire in another battery and go again. With the 4 port Celectra charger that comes with the mSR and at least 6 LiPo's to keep in the charge rotation, that charger can keep up to hours of flying. I can't believe how fast I can burn an evening away after dinner buzzing this thing around the house or better yet outside. I can't get over how fast it is and crazy it can get. I have flown it into almost every hard object I am trying to avoid (too much fun pushing the flight envelope of this rascal) and the little mSR keeps coming back for more. The mCX made micro heli history when it was first released, I for one believe the mSR will have the same impact on the micro heli world.
