Is this harder to fly than the 2 blade v311? Also, where can I get spare parts that fit this version?

I'm not familiar with the v311, but I've had great success with replacement parts from thinkrc.com. Parts are very inexpensive for the v911, v913 & v912 and have always arrived in 3 days or less.

Yes this is harder to fly than any coaxial or "2 blade" as you called it helicopter. WAY more fun once you get the hang of it. Very durable so you hopefully won't need parts but if you do they are readily available online. I get mine through Amazon (flybar needed replaced)

The v911 is a 4ch and not for a beginner, the best beginner would be most any coaxial helicopter. The v311 I have never seen or heard of. Just search for v911 parts in the search bar here and you will find parts everywhere. If you are going to learn on the v911, you like fixing things, then you will need crash kits. The v911 is a must have in 4ch's mainly because of the availability of parts. If you shut it down before you crash, just let fall. Then you will save yourself some grief, also if you buy a coaxial helicopter first.

This is not the pro, v2 v911, great copter though. Not much different than pro version and fun to fly.

My wife, who is the primary user, did not use it enough yet to brake the blade - a frequent occurrence I can assure you. That is why we got the more professional machine. Sorry, No new blades yet. No idea where I would go at this time. rlp

You do not have to change the ESC's, but I can tell you from experience, these motors are not worth the trouble of upgrading. They provide a slight amount more of flight time, but they are not nearly as sturdy and well-built as the regular Phantom 2 motors. Where the Phantom 2 motors have a brass clip, these use a plastic one. These motors also do not have any resin in place to help keep the wires from coming out--the Phantom 2 motors do.

i think the model has actually been discontinued, so im not sure you can. i cant find replacement blades for it, so now its useless to me :( maybe the battery is interchangeable with some other B&D; tools? you could always check ebay, too

I don't know why but for $10, does it really matter? Don't over analyze it. Unless you are a top notch pilot, I highly recommend the guards. You could, I guess, plan on getting plenty of propellers, which may or may not be an DJI oem product....???

Should be similar to the v911, a little better though - flybarless is definitely better than flybarred. I say go for it, especially now the price is low! Just take your time learning it. I also recommend getting a Spektrum DX6i transmitter if you don't already. It's a great first "real" transmitter and works out of the box with all the Blade helicopters. You'll fly better than with the plastic included one, and it'll be all you need all the way up to large helis.

Not sure. I've got one that is currently not flying too and I've changed all the parts and still can't figure it out??? I still have one that's working good, but still... I will I would of got different ones. They're not bad, but for the price, they should be better!

my advise is to check with Jet parts , they have a toll free phone number and can answer your question. I had to buy a new housing for my older model ,but the increased performance was worth it.

I'm not sure what parts you are looking for but I have used Hobby-wing.com and helipal.com for ordering certain parts related to phantom. I had the same experience with DJI as far as getting parts or repairs done. It seems that this industry is pretty much based on fix it yourself. I have noticed more and more people poping up that offer to fix and customize quads lately tho. Hope this helps.

Must be dead calm. I have a Blade SR to fly outside. A lot of fun. The mSR is pretty tricky inside and out because it's so nimble.

try here. I looked and it seems like they offer a ton of parts for this thing. http://www.detelex.com/spareparts/JXD-340-JXD340-Drift-King-4-channel-RC-Helicopter-Spare-Parts.htm

Yes you can buy new ones or fly with out just have to hunt to see where it's attached, may give you a min or two flight time because it's less weight?, but I wouldn't trade it for the rotor/prop protection.

those are two totally different helis.. I started flying with the s107 then stepped up to a fixed pitch Blade 120. next step up is a Flybarless, collective pitch heli.. much harder to fly. but a real ball once you get it.

The one we got my son is a single blade not the double. Unfortunately it wasn't a good buy. It's the biggest of the few we have owned which was nice but we had problems almost from the start. No matter what we tried we could not get it to fly forward. On the second flight it crashed and I had to order a new tail rotor. On the very next flight it fell from flight and broke an engine gear cog. It wasn't worth fixing after that and now sits on a shelf in my sons room. Made me angry to see my sons sadness. I then got a 4 chan slightly smaller and it's been great. The bigger copters are more fun to fly but I'll get a different one next time Hope that helps.

I am not sure where to get repair parts. We are presently needing new blades, since my Husband's helicopter crashed and roughed up his blades. Sorry I was not able to help you.
