Here's a video of my Blade MQX

[HydroMike]

They do look a little like JAE's. LOL

The Cub is fun to fly but it won't turn worth poop while on the water. It just weather vane's into the wind. Maybe I'll bring it to Delmarva for a little Apres racing fun.

there u go chilli boats and planes racing lol I had a super decathlon corn field love it more then I did but was thinking of getting another one loved how it flew

[Chilli]

I'll bring some planes to the Delmarva race Mike.

Wrecked the 450 this evening. Was doing a nose in hover with the bird pretty far away. Got a little disoriented for a second and that was it. Damage was not too bad. Two trashed blades, blade holders, a bent fly rod and two striped servo gears. I'll have her back in the air next week.

First race this weekend. Got to get back in boating mode.

[Chilli]

Okay Mikey. See you tomorrow. Bring the rain gear.

I also had the winds die down so I could maden my bipe and wow did it ever fly like a dream! very smooth and straight takeoff roll and what a climb rate! flew 20 minutes at half throttle on a 1600 3s battery I am very happy with it. :D

Thats a HUGE fleet of everything lol. Glad the maiden went good for your, I really wanted to do some heli flying today but the winds where out of control. Hopefully tomorrow. My rc funds are like gone so I had to part ways with some items to get that mcpx. Also getting rid of some boats.

Picked up a Blade Scout CX couple weeks ago to see if heli’s would be something I would like, I DO

Couple weeks later (Monday 16th) I added a Blade mCX-2, dam thing has more lights than a xmas tree

Lot harder to fly too, but I'm getting the hang of it. Can't wait to add all the glow-in-the-dark goodies, that should make night flying FUN!! Bunch of xtra batts would be nice too. Once I get it figured out, I'll add a mSR-X to the fleet.

When your retired / disabled and live in an area where it rains all the time, having an indoor heli sure takes away a LOT of boredom.

Guys, if you haven't tried a heli then WTF are you waiting for?? There a hella-va-lot cheaper than boats, and you can fly them in your house (or garage if your married). Blade makes the best micro’s – my entry level Scout has taken an amazing amount of punishment for a $50 heli, and parts are cheap and easy to find for them - main / rotor blades are only $3 a set - yes I've gone through several sets, I won't lie, it's just part of the learning curve.

Go here for more info… http://www.bladehelis.com/Helis/

Now, quit lolly gaggin and GO GET ONE and start having fun!! Be sure to get at least a 1/2 dozen xtra batts and the Celectra 4-port charger, you'll know why if/when you try this hobby.

Diesel, thanks for starting this thread - you are right, this is a great forum and being able to share our other R/C hobbies is cool.

What a great hobby and forum....

When your ready to move from the coaxial helis really check out the 120sr! I've without a doubt been bite by the heli bug. This mcpx is a tiny and angry little s.o.b, def gonna kept me on my toes lol... I need one of those 4 port chargers as well, my little umx planes take those 1s 150mah batts also.

[Diesel6401]

Well I have about 20 flights on my mcpx already lol... I love this little thing! Been working on going inverted and hovering in place while inverted. Very challenging and exciting. Really enjoying the helis. So far after 20 flights cost of repairs is $4! No complaints at all on that! I will need to dump another $10-$15 in her lol....

This thing takes a beating that's for sure. Love the battery prices on these little micro heli. You can load up for cheap! Hopefully I can get some flying in today!

the ones I favor the most right now are the Common Sense packs
