    Default Blade 130x Taking A Beating

    Maybe late to the party with this one, so of youve already seen it, sorry, if not, have a watch. It looks like a serious little Heli, everything that the MCPx was hoped to be possibly? The pilot smacks the tail and head a good few times too, so looks to be reasonably durable at least!

    Nice heli there and some nice flying!

    I'd be interested to see how it holds up to a few bumps and scrapes! I suspect not as well as the MCPX. Torque tube gears and booms will be out of stock for the first year I reckon sweet little heli though!

    I wasn't too keen on this one, but looks like it will be better for my garden than mcpx
    Just waiting for pre-orders to pop up at Fast Lads or Midlands.

    Looks cool, but I said that when I saw the first MCPX vid, and look how that turned out!

    I'll let the Beta testers buy them first before I plunge in and buy one. Not a bad price at £179 though.

    The thing I like about this video in particular is that it shows the whole flight, not the best bits of 30 odd flights chopped together to make it look better than it is. As long as the power of the one out of the box is as good as this one, it's going to be a winner
