[Lynx.1677]

Hey guys, just received my MCPx v2 today so i'll do a small review on the thing shortly. I had the v1 so should be able to notice any differences in performance etc.

If I type my name with my chin it looks like this:

HIWWW

If I repeatedly smash my forehead into the keyboard it looks like this:

THE MCPX V2 IS FULLY 3D CAPABLE, IT FLIES FOR 8 MINUTES ON A STOCK LIPO IN 50MPH WINDS AND WILL TRANSFORM A NOVICE INTO A SMACKDOWN JEDI IN JUST THREE DAYS!

Go and play with your N2!

Having just purchased and tested the same, I can say that the tail on the stock v2 is as good as the extended v1 with a tad of extra pitch. Only giving a problem in high wind flips etc or fast backwards flight. The cyclic is more responsive and so is the pitch. So far no wobbles or signs of shaking. Standard tail boom is still hollow and will still break. The model still flies flips etc etc for 4 mins + on nano tech batts. The head speed feels higher as its more responsive. I enjoyed my v1,s a heli i can practice inverted and mild 3d in the back garden. It wont do tic tocs or neat piro flips.The model is very rewarding up until the point you can out fly it then you either treat it as a bit of fun and good for keeping the thumbs active or you move on before it becomes frustrating as its holding your 3d back. It has made my flying very smooth and will teach you good collective management.

10 seconds I think and the tailboom broke. As soon as the replacement arrives I'll finish the video review.

glad I'm not the only one to break the boom almost immediately lol

I put a solid extended boom on it and it's not been a problem since, and it holds nicely.

Weirdly Pete on the v1 I never broke the tail once in some very hard crashes. It split right open this time so am guessing it was a flaw with the carbon rod. Nevermind, where do you get the carbon rod, what diameter should I be looking for?

[Gate88]

You know what the problem is dont you?

Its your lack of collective control!

[PeteStewardson]

The hollow ones have split on my first flight every time just about lol

I just bought some 2mm carbon rod from Midlands I think it was.

[Lynx.1677]

Cool, found some old rod from my Buzzfly days. Will see if it's long enough.......

loads of crashes on mine and not done the tail yet. flying with a bent fs at the mo so shaking arround, lost loads of the push rods though

Those push rods just disappear into thin air don't they

I's also indestructible and parts are almost free, not that you need them anyway!

Not if you stick a 2mm x 6mm strip of gaffer tape over the end of the guides.
