Blade MCP-X I want one...

[PeteStewardson]

Supposedly there's a fault with them to do with head and blades .. Have link to another forum but wasn't sure if it was allowed to post it ????

Somehow I doubt they would get to be shipped at all if that was the case. This is all rumours and speculation IMO until they start shipping.

LOL.. That is one long bloody list of people complaining!!! A blade coming loose indoors is actually quite a serious issue, not only to the flyer but children and other family members (including pets) around the house! Apparently, HH is addressing the issue, so we'l just have to wait and see.

Oooh that's not good. I didn't realise anyone had these things in their hands yet. Might have to leave mine in the box when it turns up until there's a fix.

Yeah as I say I came across this while looking for release date of bnf version after googling it !! Took a look and it seems legit :0(

It supposed to be the bearings are not up to it really, I have read quite a few posts about it on helifreak. I think I will hold off buying one now until the next batch comes through with the faults ironed out.

Perhaps it's why the uk havnt had ours yet? It seems odd the Germany have had theirs but not us.

I for one am getting sick of all the new products being released that are having problems so early on at the moment. It's nuts that we just sit back and take it, be it failing blade grips on the mcpx, various issues on the DX8, tail boxes twisting on the new outrage, Align with their seemingly endless "extreme" upgrades which are there to fix a problem etc etc. It's a bad show in a hobby which could prove life threatening if something fails at the wrong moment.

mCP X "Problem"

Hi Guys,

I thought I would pop some facts in for you all regarding the mCP X. There have been many people encountering problems. As you will all be aware, it is essential to carry out head checks on all CP helicopters before flight and after crashes. Horizon have released an additional checks pdf.

If you check the bearings, screws etc and blade grips before flight and tighten any loose parts, this should be sufficient. Many of the problems I have seen have been mcx / msr level flyers, jumping into things without reading the manual and checking the working parts.

The pdf link is on our product pages and here

Also, the RTF's are shipping tomorrow and the BNF's either Thursday or Friday.

Hope this helps guys.

Hey Jake

Cancelled my pre-order until I know what is what.

I picked up mine a couple of hours ago, first battery is on charge.

I was given two sets of additional instructions at the same time, one covers pre-flight checks for the blade grips, main gear, tail and rotor head.

The other covers correct binding procedures for non-computer radios (DX4e) as it seems some people with the RTF versions have been accidentally getting the heli into computer radio mode then being unable to fly with the DX4e.
