If it had a brushless main motor I would be up for a replacement of my old Nano but it looks like the only difference is it has SAFE modes.

Also, my guess is the BNF will hit these shores at £99.00 not $99.00

Already on the website at RC Hero for pre order! Check them out!

£67.50p! That has got to be a bargain. Hopefully all parts will be interchangeable with the original Nano and the board will be a little more robust than the original. The Nano was my first CP, this will be a good replacement to stuff in the van when I'm travelling (which is almost always).

I've been waiting for the new version to cum out , it seems always for Xmas lol , but I'm dissapionted that it's not brushless & I think for that reason I won't be buying one , Kd

That price has changed to £73.90 & changed again back to £67.50

I believe it has piro compensation too, which should be a good improvement. Price is okay, basically same as the old one and should get discounted as they usually do. Might get one for winter flying indoors.

Does anybody know if blades own brushless motor will fit into the ncp-s ?

[kenny d]

I know I said I wouldn't get one but I did , my hoping to put blades own brushless motor into it , I back ordered one with RC hero & I see they are showing them in stock now , also see them in Midlands etc , it'll give me a new challenge for the winter indoor flying lol

[Peteski]

Let us know how you get on with it Kenny. I'm thinking of getting one for winter too.

[Euclid]

Is this a whole new model or a tarted-up version of the original? Hopefully the latter as I will then have a couple of doner models to get parts from (although nothing ever broke apart from the electronics).

[kenny d]

Yes it's an upgraded model , if you google it you'll see all details

Hi pete , mine is in the post & may arrive today , I had one a couple of years ago , it was to move on from my msrx but I didn't like it , I thought it would help me learn to flip etc in the house , it didn't work for me , I thought you learned on small (robust) heli's then move on to larger ones , I've learned on larger heli's & only now do I think I MIGHT be able to practice inverted , flips , rolls etc in the house , I'm hoping the cps in stabilisation mode will be more user friendly lol
Ill keep you informed on how I get on , regards. Kenny d

[Peteski]

Thanks Kenny, I found much the same thing with the mCPX. Great for learning upright flight, but too much of a handful to flip in the house. I'm actually thinking of getting the nQX 3D for the house. The original nQX is still my best house flyer by a considerable margin.

[Euclid]

Thanks Kenny

if things like tail boom and motor, skids, swash plate etc are all interchangeable than I can see myself getting one as well. Inverted stability mode, what's not to like? Shame you didn't like your msrx, mine is often taken for a gentle flight around the garden.

Euclid , I loved my msrx , it was the nano I hated

well my CP-S & 6 batteries arrived today , flew about 15 batteries , it can fly easy & gentle in fixed pitch but wanted to wander off the the front right , In 3D it was great , I could flip , roll & fly inverted (outside ) , I would need a bit more practice before trying it in the house , I couldn't find the recovery button & the agile mode didn't seem to work , perhaps I've not set it up it properly , so I'll keep working on it. , it has some funny quirks but overall I'm very happy with it ��
