I am new, and currently have E-flite 120SR and the SR. I was suckered in with the SR by everything I saw online talking about how easy it is to fly for CP. I purchased the 120 SR used as something to get used to the controls. I will admit that I am having fun with it, getting to know how to fly. In the meantime, I joined a club, and they are being very helpful in getting the SR set up. With the resident expert doing the work, and about 10 hours, we are close.
He has pointed out some items I should have spares. I have the basics, blades, fly bar, main and feathering shaft etc. It seems that since I purchased this thing, my local store has decided to stop stocking parts for it (figures), but can order them. I also would like to get batteries and upgrade some items, but curious where online I can look.
Some things I would like to find, and would rather find 1 or 2 places. I need tools. Ball link pliers, hex screw driver, blade balancer etc.
I would also like to get batteries. The e-flite ones are never in stock, even on the company site. I think I would rather have aftermarket just so I can get larger capacity batteries. I am also looking for a multi charger.
Anyone have any thoughts on this one? Seems like a good price, 4 at a time is nice. Says it can do about every batter under the sun.

I have bought a bunch of parts and two heli's from xheli.com.. the stuff came quick and with no problems every time. the only thing for me is they are on the west coast and i am on the east coast.. Local places around here seem to eflite spares in stock. I found a pretty cool bag that hold multiple heli's transmitters and parts for 60 bucks on horizonhobby.com it is red and black call wing tote.
