lostoften December 19, 2008 Share lostoften Member December 19, 2008 Received a Christmas gift early from my father in-law, it was a blade mcx rc helicopter. Just wondering if anyone was into flying rc's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmerisme December 19, 2008 Share farmerisme Member December 19, 2008 I have flown RC planes but not heli's. Sure it is fun, probably tricksy to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostoften December 20, 2008 Author Share lostoften Member December 20, 2008 Since the mcx has two sets of blades, it actually pretty easy to control. Only downside is that you cant do any tricks and because of its size it has to be flown indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthos December 20, 2008 Share monthos Member December 20, 2008 I had a blade cx or something, dual blade design. My problem was if you whipped it in any direction too fast, the blades were made of plastic and flexed a bit. Since they rotate in opposite directions, that makes for a fantastic CRACK and your heli goes all wobbley, it takes skill to bring it down gracefully after that (if the blades shattered, then there is no saving it) blades were cheap though, I flown it outdoors quite a bit too, just wait for a low/no wind day. I had accidentally lost the view of mine over the house. and by the time I ran around to see where it was, it was a speck in the sky, took me awhile to bring it back down safely. My brother dropped it from about a 2story fall and for some reason it blew the controller. I replaced the controller but it never flew right again. So yeah, its a great learner and now I want to get one again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrX December 22, 2008 Share mrX GC Alumni December 22, 2008 I've got a Blade CX2, a Trex Heli, and a few planes. The trex heli (old pic, it's all carbon fiber with a metal head now with a white hood). Wish I knew how to really fly it. Some plane pics (again old): Only thing I have time to fly any more is the CX2 indoors. It's a lot of fun. Great hobby; hard on the pocketbook.
