Yeah, true... I want to have good outside maneuverability in light winds, but the ability to do 3d would be awesome!

MCPX parts are soooo expensive....

Really? And I'd probably break lots

I had an Mcpx, then sold it because I didnt want to get into helis.

THEN i bought another one and thought ahh id give it a try.



BUT, the thing wont fly inverted, if you give it too much collective pitch, either the tail rotor will give out, or the motor will die. I am thinking of upgrading it to the brushless, my buddy upgraded his and gets low inverted.
I dunno.....

i cant stand helis

It cant do inverted at all?

That's kinda what I was interested in because it looks so cool

You'll have to upgrade because the tail will blow out a LOT.

I'll probably get the new nano cpx. It looks like it has a better power to weight ratio and the tail looks better because it uses the same tail motor as the mcpx but it is lighter.

I'd wait to see what people are saying about it first!

just extend the tail boom. works great after that.

Quick question guys -

Does this look like a good solder joint, or is it cold? I can't tell the difference anymore, LOL

it looks good to me...

looks pretty good. There is nothing that screams defect, but then it is hard to tell in a pic. I usually give it a generous yank to test for a good solder joint if I am not sure
