Electric Planes, Heli's and EDFs: Discussion, pics and video Thread

[Brushless55]

Yea the mcpx is a tough little bird, kinda why I wanted the 130x but it's having some QC issues. The 300x is suppose to be released July 19th in the States. It's already released overseas. Containers are stock in Cali in customs and todays the 4th so nothing is prob getting done.

No blowout, just an annoying tail wag I've been trying to solve. I was reading thread after thread at Helifreak and guys replaced the tail servo with a better one and it eliminated the wag so I figured wth may as well. I normally replace servo's anyway in certain setups. I never was a fan of the e-flite servo's so this is just starting a process I would have done eventually anyway. The heli itself is amazing, I wouldn't consider the tail servo needing replaced a deal breaker by any means. I can't wait until I get better at flying. This is the bird I'm going to learn the most from I believe! The 450 3D also looks like an amazing value and heli.

What are the QC isues you are reading about?

Majority are tail issues. The tail servos aren't secured to the frame, are failing out of the box and some guys tail area has cracks or is broken. Now their are main rotor blade issues when they're seperating in flight or coming out of the blade grips.

I've read most of it from this thread: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1631872 but the cracked/broken tail pieces and blade seperation I read in seperate thread at HeliFreak.

That 130x looks to be promising when they get thier act together. All first runs are bound to some issues though. I'm too g to get one after a few runs. I hope that servo works out for you on the 450x.

After flying my friends 130x I def hope a V2 is to follow. Its a cool little heli...

Keep in mind I've only been flying helis since April, so I really suck.

Is that the HK100? I read it, seems identical to a mcpx unless they have something else out on top of that.

O man, that looks awesome! I like the fact it doesn't have linear servos. I wonder if you could swap to a different rx.. looks good!

*Update:
Did some digging, looks like its a nine eagles product. http://www.helipal.com/nine-eagles-solo-pro-180-red-2-4ghz-edition.html
