more reports please - ours get delivered tomorrow and i want to order those gens ace if they're ok.

where are you guys getting your adapters from? for the gens ace battery connectors

Just put 3 batts through mine just hovering & orientation in the back garden as winds kicking up but it still held it's own.

Gens ace are slightly heavier but would not notice in hovering & manoeuvres

I bought mine from ebay : 1 JST to E-Flite Beast / Sbach / F-27Q / Stryker 180 (UMX) Lipo Battery Adapter | eBay

It works a treat

Had six flights with mine through the day (our stock arrived 9.15 this morning) other than tightening the main blades I had not touched it. Constant rolls in the car park and climbing flips, it whips over quite fast and settles inverted locked. I think it will take a bit of abuse, but so far only U/C, main shaft, boom supports and head blocks arrived as spares.

Booms coming apart blades flying off does not sound good may be changing my mind on wasting £150 on something that falling apart ??? Looks like horizon hobby going to be engage most of tomorrow with complaints hoping to hear good news

Others have had issues with other brands & models, as a whole no one brand is without issues as far as I've seen

I can give you at least 2 brands examples with no issues at all.

Anyway, I'd not expect perfect quality from a cheap plastic heli, which is what 130x is (same as mcpx). I am not saying I am going to accept it if mine turns out to be a lemon, but I am not going to give up on it too quickly, even if I have to send it to HH multiple times.

ours should be arriving today

Got mine today morning, thanks Midlans for super speedy delivery.
I am at work so I can't fly it yet, but it's looking nice. Mine has a bit odd axial play in TT, when I lock main gear (using fingers) I can still turn tail hub about 10 degrees. All gears seem to be fit correctly, I am not sure what it is, feels like TT tube is flexing along the bom axis. Weird.

Dont forget that the negative reports get noticed more, and haters/jealous types hype it up. The vast majority of the 130X's are fine and fly great straight out of the box. Dont forget a precautionary check over is always recommended with any model from mcpx to trex 700.

Aslong as your having fun, then its all good!

Do you have all spares in stock?

Got mine today, and as a proper heliaddict I had to fly it ones the packs where charged. That was after gone through the whole heli, checking screws, blades etc. Noticed the main and tail blades where very loose to the grips. Maybe the main problem with tail blade failures?? maybe.

Well it fly s beautiful. I have so far ( touching wood ) not experienced any problems but that's early days. Very locket in, like you fly a bigger heli.
Managed some inverts and it did stay inverted, something I never managed to master with the MCPX.

So far very pleased. Don't know. Maybe I one of the lucky ones? Maybe problems will show on the next few Packs?
Anyway go to go as my packs are charged again
