I've tested them all, and I have them all still (120, dual, stock, aluminum, v3, v1, walkera, kbdd) by far the best is a 6" with caged stock motor and kbdd tail rotor hands down, try it Don't take my word for it!

i was saying the blades i put the regular not weighted ones back on and this heli is perfect, i might make a new tail, the other one is gonna be setup almost exactly the same, minus metal swash, and a custom boom, and weighted blades


i run the kbdd tail rotors

Fellow pilots. MCPX question. My right servo not working and hot to the touch! Any idea's?

Have you cleaned it? It may have grit in it causing it to bind. I wouldnt keep powering it or you may smoke the 3-in-1. A servo is cheaper than a new board..and servo.

i just built the ultimate brushed 3d mcp, i used rod and made boom extended about.3 kbdd tail weighted blades, grommeted swsh

Wonderful! Will be the second one today (new) that I have had issues with! WTH!!!! 1st had a mid throttle vibration and the 2nd has a bad serv or board maybe both! Thanks guys!

Mine had a mid stick vibration too, right 50% stick. I fixed it with a new swash it was binding causing it to have troubles finding mid stick on the servo!

I just flew the mcpx with ultra violet led in the nose in the dark room. It was awesome. The ultra-violet light makes the orange kbdd blades glow like in black light! Was pretty darn cool and easy to see. I tried to take a video but the camera doesn't pick up enough light from it

Grab a DSLR if you have one and a tripod/chair/table, set the aperture to a larger number and take a long exposure - you will see where you went as a bunch of lines on the exposure.

The results are quite good - I put some night shots online a few (probably many now) posts ago.

Hey thanks for the info, my dad has a dslr and photo studio, maybe I'll get him to snap a shot of her for me!

I do good to keep mine aloft in the light. Did the extended boom on mine, I already have the revised (caged) tail motor. Waiting on one of Fgmnt of's new canopy's to get here...bright neon orange, so my blind @ss can see it. LOL!!

Ive had this heli for about 3 mo's now, and it just starting making sense in the last week ( meaning I can actually "fly" it) and has been very enjoyable.

Just got my aluminum push rod ends and rotor hub and blade grips OR DID I??!

Are you running a brushless mod?

Just got my first two flights on my new mcpx, and it flew great! how long should i wait before charging the battery after flying?

well first off i recomend charging between .3-.5 and u can throw them on right away if they are room temperature
