what you learnt on the mcpx

[robbo45]

do you think that what you learn on the mcpx will carry over on to the bigger helis ,?

[challis349]

I think in many cases it will, just be careful and don't. think the higher heli's will crash the same lol

I can hold mine nose in for a while and side in for ages, so we will see later when I maiden my 450 pro, to see if the mcpx has helped

I've learnt a fair bit of control with mine. The MCPx is all over the place since it gets moved about a lot so you learn to compensate quickly. That then translates into a much more locked in flight on the bigger helis. I'm learning nose in on it and can hold it roughly where I want it nose in now. I'm still finding it difficult on the bigger stuff though but I think that's because I'm trying it too high and need to have the balls to try nose in at a lower height.

After 3 flights in the small back garden, in and out of the washing line poles and garden furniture I took it to the field. Did some loops, flips and then inverted. Flew it around and hovered nose in 2 ft from my nose. Found it easier (better) to roll out rather than flip or loop out. I then transposed this onto my Trex 600E. Albiet NOT with the inverted nose in 2 ft from my nose.

I can do half piro flips on mcpx 1.5 meter from the ground. On my bigger ones I can't, not even close. Reason is: completely different flight characteristics and fear.
Personally I think mcpx as learning aid is overrated. I learned much more on the simulator. Mcpx is fun toy though.

To be honest it's one of the things I've learned & carried over onto bigger helis. Without the MCPX I could never have achieved the levels of venomous hatred I harbour toward my Velocity 50!
