Blade 130x, Any differences in the new batch?

[Curryzz]

Hi,

I love the size of the 130x, I bought one 2 months ago but was disappointed as I had many problems with the servos etc( I returned it)

I think I still want one to practice on, however I resorted to buying a second nano which was delivered today, I opened the box but can't help think I should get a 130x! Just worried about it having many problems again?

Hmmm, Help me make a decision please

Paul

Anyone want a brand new nano

the 130 is a great little heli mate has certainly helped me to learn and unbelievably good in the wind

mayb u could send back the nano if its unused and swap for the 130

If you want a 130x then get one. If you have any problems with it, just get them fixed by Horizon Hobby rather than returning it to your reseller. I had problems with mine (my first was replaced totally), but HH after sales service is pretty damned good. Chances are, your heli will be problem free - if not, get it fixed under warranty. Either way, you end up with a fully working heli.

no problems with mine out the box great little heli

I have 2 130x's one standard as it came then i have one that im slowly doing mods and upgrades on. up to now (touch wood) i have had no problems with any of them, They are amazing to fly and throw about and feel like a bigger heli i have the nano cpx to for the indoor but its just not the same for me. With the 130x you feel more in-control and the movements ect feel more realistic to the bigger helis, keep your eye out on ebay and bmfa over the next few weeks some people over Christmas might not like/want them and you might pick up a good deal!

heres one on ebay at the moment

Great,

It sounds ideal for practicing in the garden which is want I want, my 300x seems a little big for the garden.

Good advice, I'm watching the one on eBay now, shame it doesn't finish for a while but will keep a look out for others too.

Thanks

Paul

Yes agreed, I think I will go for it! All I hear is good comments about the little heli so I must of been unlucky

Get one mate, I got one for xmas and I love it. No problems with mine I flew it more times than my Goblin the other day in the strong wind. :-)

Re: Blade 130x, Any differences in the new batch?

I paid 159 for mine. Like you say I couldn't find any for 140.

[A.N.T]

Once I'd stiffened up the tail and got rid of vibrations mine flies great, has the same sort of feel as the 300x but being smaller gives more confidence, haven't inverted it yet as back garden has too many branches to hit but I think I'll be inverting on the 130x before I try it on the 300

My Nano (when I get the board back from HH) will carry on being my beater to throw around inside.

The kbdd tail and main blades + the extreme carbon fin and tail supports made a big difference in getting rid of some vibrations which were causing a few issues with how it was behaving, now they're gone it flies awesome and can see me having a lot of fun with it.

Try Pegusus models think they have stock of the 130 at £138 also als hobbies have secondary stock at £139

Try als hobbies there £138.99 plus post, think they got them in stock
