Gotta chance (busy day) to hit the field and took advantage of it. Got 2 flights on my Dynam T-28! Came home and when the old lady wasn't looking got 4 mcpx flights in out back :D

I love the prices of the batteries on this little guy
I think I've got about 14 or 15 packs for mine and love it!!
the ones I favor the most right now are the Common Sense packs

Are they the Lectron Pro 300mah 35c ?

I ordered a 2-pack of these today. I also order a xtreme frame and landing gear. My stock landing gear and frame are pretty beat up already. Honestly amazed they withstood the hard crashes I've had with it. Tough little heli! I also ordered a Xtreme canopy and a xtreme canopy for my 120sr. So I'm going to re-build the mcpx. I'm going to clean the servos and replace the feathering shaft while I'm at it. I get a violent little shake at certain pitch changes then it smoooths out.

do you fly idle up?
one thing that helped my little heli was I sprayed WD40 on the bearings and moving parts on the head..

Yea. No matter what flight mode I'm in I always get a bad vib the first 10 seconds of flight. Then when I throttle pump a little it smooths out, I think the feathering shaft is slightly bent. Started doing after a nasty crash.

If these Lectrons are awesome I may snag some 600mah batts for my 120sr and mqx. Surprisngly I get more flight time on my mqx then my 120sr with the same batts.

Glad you're having fun with the heli's Diesel. Wait till you move up to a 450. The intimidation factor goes way up. LOL I've had a few ground incursions but so far damage hasnt cost me more that $25 an incident. And that includes a new set of main blades. I'm very confortable hovering the 120 nose in but the 450 just scares the crap out of me. Still loving it though. I've have learned to take it slow and confidence is slowly building. She is much easier to handle in a slight breeze than the 120. I might have to get a mcx2 this winter for some cross training.

Having a blast! This little mcpx has some Napleaon syndrome going on lol... I'm loving it. Tough little heli, I've blasted this thing and hit everything in site. Its such an awesome learning heli. Hit something flip it over and keep flying. Got stuck in the tree on the side of my house (twice :rolleyes:) with no damage. Countless times hitting the ground practicing flips and flying inverted with 0 - min damage. Its a must by to learn tricks on!!! I'm getting better at taking off and going straight inverted and hovering inverted eye level or very low to the ground... kind of a rush!

Ordered parts for both my helis. Nice being able to buy a crap load of hop-up parts for 2 helis for less then $100!

Here's the new canopy for my 120sr.

Thanks! Not bad for $10 :D

I use a dx8 and LOVE IT!!! Moved from a dx6i which I also loved, but the 8 is amazing! Since I started flying helis I took the "racheting/clicking" effect out of the throttle/rudder stick. I liked with my planes, but like the smoothness with the helis. Nice you can adjust that! The dx6i was sold either as a heli model "no rachet" or airplane which had the rachet.

My DX6i came with a rachet bar but it was not installed. Only took five minutes to get it in.

I broke a ball off the fly bar on the 120. Was thinking of getting an aftermarket CF or metal replacement. Anyone have any thoughts?? Reviews seem to be mixed. Looking for a little more precision on the 120.

Good! How soon shall I bring them over?
Diesel I upgraded to the DX8 from a DX7 I always buy heli transmiters to be cross-platform so I don't know rachet with throttle. I sure like the feel and balance better than the DX7! and lots of 3 position swithces for lights, flaps, flight stablizer etc.....

I fly a Gaui 200 flybar, and a Walkera V120D02S. My son flys MSR and 120SR. My backyard is a small heli wonderland...
