Hi Chrisie, It was only 9 grams on the Syma S031G which already weighs 425grams. Was the quickest option. I have just ordered a SKY KING 8500 8501-13 RC Helicopter Tail Rear Rotor Blade, is bigger than standard supposed to give more tail thrust, damn well needs it !! Trevor

Hi Guys, Thank you all for your advise, especially WolstonFlyer & PeD. The 120SR, balanced main blades, nearly all the vibration has gone. There's barely any moving around on take off, TBE has all but gone, still goes into TBE but opposite rudder will stop it. Have now had loads of flights, and she's still in 1 piece, and undamaged. Just need to take the Flybar off, to check it's balance. The Syma S031. Have had both sets of blades off and balanced, also the flybar. Have put a 1 Pound coins worth of Blutac inside the nose, and she has flown well for a full 7min flight in the living room. Balancing Blades, Flybars is worth while. Regards Trevor

Udate on my Blade 120SR. All sevos are set to normal, I was mistaken. Have had several hover flights indoor, just come in from my oudoor flight with the 120SR, I'm "Buzzing" that was a big step forward, hopefully I can build on that. Still got the "Toilet Bowl Effect" but I'm managing to fly around it. Vibration!! I've taken the Main blades off, and spun it up, No vibration at all. I think that I need to order some Digital scales (001) of a gram type, check the wieghts of the Main blades, I think that's my TBE problem. Any views? Trevor

Hi WolstonFlyer, Yes bought it new from Kings Lynn Model shop yesterday. I thought that mine was running backwards, as I had to reverse the servo on my DX7s to get it to turn in the correct direction.. The X shape moulding in the white tail blades is facing the motor. Both the tail plug and the plug inside the canopy look a bit delicate and sealed with wax or glue. Is that my only option? Trevor

Hi Guys This might sound silly, but which direction should the Tail blade spin, looking from the Blade side, mine is turning Anti-clock wise. Does it not ought to spin Clockwise? If Clockwise how do I change it? Trevor

Thanks Guys, I have gone and bought myself a Blade 120SR, 2 problems. 1, I can't find a 120SR Spektrum DX7s Setup online (or a least 1 that will open), 2, It wants to do slow rearward clockwise circles while hovering, which I can't stop it doing. For the future I like the look of the T-REX 450 Sport V2, any thoughts on this Heli. Any views on the above. Trevor

I used to fly fixed wing aircraft some 35 years ago. I've bought a Syma S031G, yes, I know it a bit of a "Toy", but it's got me back in the air. Have since bought myself a Spektrum DX7s with a Phoenix Flight Sim, having some fun with it, the crashes haven't cost me anything. I like the look of the Blade 130X, and with the help of the Phoenix I hope to be Ok to fly such a Helicopter. Not impressed with just 4 mins flying time. Can this be extended by fitting say a 900mAh, or is this not possible. Any advise please. Trevor
