    Default MCPX vs Walkera Genius CP or Mini CP

    Been looking at getting a MCPX but they don't sell them in China and the supplier I found in Hong Kong said they cant ship electronics RC bits to China. Was going to pick one up next time I was there but worried spares would be a problem.
    Then I found these. WALKERA--CHINA Does anyone have any experience with them? How do they compare to the MCPX? Certainly a lot cheaper on the local version of Ebay that I can see. Seems to fly ok in a you tube clip I checked out.

    Cheers

    The general consensus seems that as a micro CP the Walkera Micro CP is better than the MCPX, it's more fragile I read but with certain mods is as unbreakable as the MCPX.

    There's threads over on RCGroups singing its praises. Apparently the Devo controllers are quite nice, but Walkera seem to come out with new products and drop old product support with some gusto.

    I also thought that the Walkera came with their own Tx which wasn't really compatible with anything else .... at least with an MCPX you can get a spektrum Tx which will be more useful going forward (assuming you don't have a Tx already)
