picked up a mcpx today

[redbelly82]

hi picked up a mcpx today and some spares links,landing gear,tail blade,main blades,main shaft.put the standard settings in the 6i but what to put the gyro at if anything?does anyone have some tame settings till i get used too it also on take off it just falls over?Any help welcome also how to make it better stronger and what bling parts available.

[LaurenceGough]

Use the provided settings in the manual.

Stick the bullet blades on for more stable flight.

Save your bling money for spares, unless you must .

When you plug the battery in you must quickly put the heli on the floor - before the light goes solid. This is so the flybarless system can initalise.

No need to spool this little one up.... pop it up in the air as soon as you can. If you try and spool it up slowly it will tip over. Pop it up like you would an MSR. The fbl system is much happier this way also

[redbelly82]

just done 4 batteries on it in the spare room and love it had a few little knocks while getting used to it lol the boom is not that strong and cracked so a bit of tape there will get the longer carbon 1 on order,links popped off a couple of times.Got loads of them.What have people done to improve it?the msr feels so slow now after that.

They're little buggers aren't they. No need for bling RB, just fly the a*se of it and keep your dosh for the next rung up, probably a 450 size. You're in for a ride buddy, enjoy it.

[redbelly82]

yes they are lol got a blade 4503d and trex 450 but love the little ones so far in my gang (mcx,msr,120sr,mcpx,rapier250,trex250se) and the 450s i mention running out off room on my dx6i lol

Yep use the spares .Pop off the swash rods, pop on a grommet, pop the rods back, bye bye the shivers. Simples.

In your box there were 4 additional canopy grommets, cut three of these in half and use them between the swashplate and the linkages which go to the 3 servos.

Edit: beaten to it .

Matter of interest, I cut three in half, tried it, no great diff, then used three whole ones and noticable lack of shaking. BUT HH say this will load the servos unduly. So yer pays yer money and takes yer choice.

[Gate88]

Excellent choice!

The MCPX is without doubt the best heli in the world!
