Our site does not allow vat refunds at the moment , the new site that is going live in a few week will have this as a feature

I have just seen your order, We now only have one RTF left.

Not even one left for me

ok, well so long as the order is in and the heli's on it's way shortly
Got some 30lb test fishing braid ready to make a "blade saver"

Midlands have the RTF version in I think.

I really dont need one of these little beasts lol

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.

Totally agree Jamie and I'm defo not sitting back and taking it as we dont accept it with anything else we buy so why should heli's be any different.

I really wanted one of these, but with the bearing issue. should I wait for the next batch?

OK, new grips are just £7 but as others have said, why should I have to pay extra!

I am just setting up my DX6i and charging the batteries...

Lets hope there are spares available tomorrow

[Pod]

Just a question tho...

The manual says to charge the packs at .7amps, isn't that 3.5c charging on a 200mah pack???

I thought the recomended is always 1c??

I always take "helicopter design faults" with a pinch of salt. I picked 3 out of the thirty RTF versions delivered today and all of them were absolutely fine. I crashed my personal one over and over again to try and pop a bearing or get a blade to fly off but to no avail. (which is good!!)

According to my own experiment.... this heli is the dogs!!! If my customers come back to me and say that bearings have popped or blades have flown off, I will normally replace for free. I genuinely think that its down to individuals not checking the model before flying.

Anyway - its up to you. Horizon have not reported a fault with this model so I don't know what the wait would achieve. Take it from me.... its great fun!!!!

Although companies releasing faulty products is starting to get on my wick, im pretty sure these are the bearings needed. Well worth replacing them asap.

1.5x4x1.2 Open Bearing (x1) 681x [1.5x4x1.2 open] - £1.00 : RCbearings.co.uk, For a friction free RC!

This is also worth a read before you fly it.

mCPx: Known issues, fixes, information rollup - HeliFreak

Very tempted to order some of these. How many are needed? 4 or 2? Does anyone know if these are definitely suitable. For the sake of a few quid it's better to be safe than sorry.

[Rctintin]

I had a call today to say mine is in, so going to collect from my LHS tomorrow AM.

Also, I have ordered 4 stainless steel bearings that are high quality to replace the existing ones just incase!

[jad007]

Just got an email to say mine is on it's way ;-)
