Blade mCX RTF

I've been flying RC helicopters for about 5 years, nitro, electric...and I have to say this little guy is my favorite. I found flying the big heli's not too relaxing and crashes were expensive. But flying this little guy is just pure fun and no worries about crashing....it seems indestructable. I find it very relaxing to fly. I just love being able to fly it in the smallest of indoor spaces. It is highly stable and easy to fly. That being said, once you get good at flying it there are many things you can do with it. If you are interested in learning how to fly RC helicopters then this is definately the one to start with. Highly recommended.

After buying a cheap $30 infrared heli I got the bug for something better. This mini rc copter flys great right out of the box. It is very stable and easy to fly. With only a little effort you can make it hover in place and put the remote down, its that stable. This stability comes at a cost though, forward speed. It flys forward and backwards at about walking pace, so don't expect to be recreating your favorite Airwolf episodes.

One of the best features of this helicopter is the dual rate function of the remote. This functions as a type of governor on the controls to allow you to get used to flying. The default for the remote is high rate, which is means there is no governor. By pressing down on the right stick, the control speeds are cut in half, allowing for much easier control for the beginner flyer.

Excellent fun for indoors, but this will not fly well outside. Even the most gentle of breezes will give you problems.

The Blade mCX is a great 4 channel helicopter. It is small enough to fly it indoors, so that you can practice and hone your skills quite easily. It also has a slower response selection for the controls, which allows the mCX to respond more slowly to the controls, allowing you to have more time to adjust the flight of the helicopter before you crash into something.
For myself, it is a great helicopter to use to learn about flying radio controlled helicopters.
