Just got the BNF mCPX, a FBL sub micro CP heli.

Rainy and windy weather in BayArea lately, here is the test flight of the mCPX:

I have about 10 flights in the mCPX, I am surprise that this FBL sub-micro heli flys very stable indoor and outdoor, can fly in windy weather also. It is a little bit low power for 3D flying and definately need collective management to flip.

A buddy of mine had serveral crashes on his, he just make the heli upright and take off again.

What does the FBL stand for?

You boys ain't right! lollollol

Last day of vacation and the weather is cold and nasty. On my way to Debby's to purchase one of these little guy's. Hope to be flying in the house tonight! Woot.... I have to get the heat and eat, cause I fly Futaba. Just easer than buying a receiver and doing setup.

I retrieved the mCPx in the tree, this is one tough bird, I crashed her 3 time and so far nothing broke, just push the main gear back up, check the blade grip bearings and take off again. She flys better after the tree landing, practice flips and rolls at lunch hour, sunny day and wind is ~ 9mph NW, getting a little used to but need to do it under 6' to ready for indoors.

After 100+ flgihts in the mCPx, this tiny bird is still flying great even with 30+ crashes most from inverted head on to the grass. So far I haven't replaced any parts, damage report: nicks in the main blades, tail blades flattened (can be bend back), chips in the tail boom (a little CA fix it), broke one of the inner wash balls (use the other 2), landing gear broke off at the back (CA and thread repair), canopy nose area is in pieces (fix with clear tape) . . .

Today, she got a new dress - a paper canopy !

[estarter]

Paper canopy is about 1/2 the weight of the stock one, in sub micro, every gram counts.

Hi
I have purchased the blade MCPx with the standard TX Spectrum 4A. I have also seen hundreds of videos all showing it hovering handsfree.
I have not been able to do this, it seems to have a mind of its own. After 4 hours of practise the best I can manage is 15 seconds of flight.
The shop where I bought it is saying its me, but I am not so sure, I am new to helecopters but I am a veteren at planes.#
I am sure that with 3 gyros, it should hover by itself in a no wind situation.
Please can anyone tell me if it is me, or should I start shouting at the shop.
So far I have broken, boom, undercaraig, lost 3 links. I am not happy.

Have the shop fly it.
