Horizonhobby.com Review - Blade mCX2

[josefranciscocool]

does the rtf version can bind to a 6-Channel CCPM Pro Transmitter FM 72MHz: BCPP or do i need a bnf version???

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@josefranciscocool You can only bind Spektrum DSM2-equipped transmitters to Blade Helicopters so your transmitter would not work.

[josefranciscocool]

@HorizonRCdotCom but i dont get it, the transmitter i mention is from the same company (blade) XD anyways thanks for answering

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@josefranciscocool True, but that older transmitter operates on a different frequency band all-together than what the current generation of Blade helis operate on.

[josefranciscocool]

im thinking in buying this heli, i have a syma s107g and i want to move forward to 4ch... i was thinking in a msr or sr 120 but then i started thinking that i have no experience with 4ch so this is the best trainer one out there!

[rcrules14]

is the blade mcx2 worth the extra $30 dollars

[sparky7679]

what battery does it come with in bind n fly?

[basketballderek32]

@horizonrcdotcom look below plz

[basketballderek32]

I was wondering what was a good beginner helicopter? I have a blade scout and the mcx. What I need is a durable helicopter more than anything. My only problem with the mcx us that the parts break so easily. however I love the blade scout. If there is a good helicopter for the level I'm at could you please tell me which one?

[201andrew]

i like my wings glow in the dark and the chasis body also

[1234slipperyfish]

Help! I need to have mine trimed madly! Can anyone help me please!

[myslash09]

5:39 wow the trannsmitter is set for plane not heli. lol XD

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@myslash09 Correct. Since there's no CCPM there's no reason for using heli mode. This is the same with the mCX2, mCX, Tandem, CX2, CX3 and others.

[TheMegaMagicMonkey]

i just got mine today and already have the controls down and am looking at getting the msr

[fortgreene31]

yes indeed cool vid. I just bought my blade mcx2 from my local hobby shop willis hobby in long island with tax $132 dollars. I came home my wife looking at me like what is you crazy. I said nope when you get me mad i just play with something to take my mind off of things. I will play with my new mcx2 this afternoon. Im a beginner i had 2 cheap rc helicopters. One was a Syma 107g and the other a skytech m2 both are garbage heavy metal things. Now i have the real deal not that cheap mall one

[jangofett550]

@fortgreene31 sorry i didnt mean to down vote your comment i wasnt paying attention

[fortgreene31]

@jangofett550 it's all good my brother

[jangofett550]

@fortgreene31 ok, thats a load off my mind

[fortgreene31]

@jangofett550 okay brother load off my mind as well?

[xxgg]

Can I bind this heli with a radio from Parkzone Ultra Micro J-3 Cub RTF ?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@xxgg Yes you can

[222jkm]

Thank You for respondin!

[222jkm]

Do the parkzone transmitters work with this? They have dsm2 Technology.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@222jkm Yes the do

[EuroSon99]

Can you turn off the blinking lights of the mcx2? 

[DirkME1022]

Hi there just wondering if I can use my Walkera WK2402 with it? It's just DSM and not DSM2 as much as I know ( I might be wrong though)?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@DirkME1022 It is not a DSM transmitter, simply 2.4GHz. Sorry but it is not compatible.

[blogan234]

what does the new transmiter do extra

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@blogan234 Which new transmitter are you referring to?

[blogan234]

@HorizonRCdotCom the one that u have in the video not the one it came with the other one

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@blogan234 The stock RTR transmitters are the same between the mCX and mCX2

[blogan234]

r they batteries that it comes with rechragable?

Plese answer!!!!!!!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@blogan234 the AA's for the charger are not rechargeable, however the main flight battery is.

[78910na]

"oh well you know... harrasing the cat" lmao

[dragster598]

Great video review! I chose your website to make my purchase because of it.

[CarlosMerighe]

It's what my wife is giving me for Christmas. I can't wait!

[rc18trocks]

since that controller is 2.4 gh, can i use it for bind a fly kits as well? im talking about the remote for the rtf kit

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@rc18trocks You can, however only for the ultra micro gear. The included transmitter is what's called a low-power transmitter so it will have less range than say a DX6i or DX7. If you're going to fly bigger park flier gear I wouldn't recommend it.

[gladiatortarantula]

Can the E-flite Blade mCX2 be programmable on another transmitter such as an MLP4DSM, LP5DSM, DX5e, DX6i, DX7, or DX7se?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@gladiatortarantula Yes it can

[matrobsti]

which one of the mcx2 and the msr would you recomend for a guy that have no experience with helis, just the crapy two chanel play helis, but have a lot of experience with planes though?

I want a heli that I can fly indoors now in the winter season that can take some crashes, fun to fly and not gets bored fast. which?

[waterkeeper03]

@matrobsti

I am a 1st timer as well. i just bought he MCX2 and it's really easy to deal with. i was considering buying the simulator for $199 for the PC with the controller, but decided a real toy for $129 would be way better. this is day 2 for me, and i can take it through the archway window in my kitchen and around and back out. I have creamed it against the wall, tables, chairs and the dog grabbed it mid flight. it still hovers straight. i accidentally had to rebind it once and that's easy 2

[mpass007]

just a quick question i have recently bought the carbon tail boom and when i put it on i have the weight and the 2 rubber stoppers on but the tail shakes so much and im not sure why please help :(!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@mpass007 I haven't flown it with that modification so I don't know. I would contact product support to see if they have some tips for you. The number is 877-504-0233

[Motorsports7]

I have a mcx2 and the upper gear is rubbing against the lower gear pinion how do I make it stop

[jorge2181996]

hello... i have the E-Flite LP5DSM transmitter, can i use it for this helicopter? 

[slashracer111]

@jorge2181996 Yes you can, I Personally use that transmitter.

[rcukreviews]

Hi, i find that when i fly my MCX2 with the DX5e it tends to spin faster left than right. furthermore it will roll faster left than right is that a normal side affect or could i fix that?

[MarioIArguello]

More power and much better performance is definitely the way to go on the mCX2. Great for many scale body application while allowing ease of control to the first time pilot. Highly recommend it if you are looking to get into RC helicopters and want something small and easy to control. Check out some of my scale body videos with the Blade mCX -mSR helis.

[lazor222]

Has blade seperated from E-Flite? I know there still the exact same because all the HH employes work for pretty much every brand of HH, but have they? I keep seeing all this stuff about BLADE and the new logo and stuff. I like it, an the box. Better then the old plain ones.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@lazor222 Yes, Blade has been separated from E-filte and is now its own brand.

[bigdaddy0995]

do u think this heli can pick up a micro high roller?

[pieman12345678987654]

@bigdaddy0995 no. not even close.

[SvenOkonomi]

The funniest part is that this heli is up for grabs on ebay under another brandname for about a quarter the price of this one.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@SvenOkonomi Sorry, not the same helicopter, no support, no warranty and no parts. Blade brings it all.

[SvenOkonomi]

@HorizonRCdotCom Keep telling them that..

[mfasouletos]

pretty cool but i don't think i need another to be honest Jim. Good to see constant inprovements though. Just don't need another. :)

[startazz]

Great job Jimbo and i like watching the HH vid's so thumbs up from me as always ;-)

[NRsully21]

looks fun to fly!

[p3x197]

Thats nice! are you going to do a review on the 300? And what are you going to do about the landing gear nuts?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@p3x197 If you're having issues with the wheel nuts on the Extra 300 please contact our product support department at (877) 504-0233.

[p3x197]

@HorizonRCdotCom Well, I live in uk. but, I called the shop where i got it and they sent me a new axle which the screws lock well. but i just Ca glue them in on the old one

[startazz]

@p3x197 Not being funny mate but why did you ask about the extra 300 landing gear wheel nuts if you have got them all sorted out now? now going to check your channel out as i'd like to see that 300 in flight and maybe sub ;-)

[p3x197]

@startazz Wondering what tjhey are gunna do about them. Its happening to alot of people.

[startazz]

@p3x197 Ok sorry mate i'm with you now ;-) good luck

though and hope you sort it all out without to much

trouble.

[p3x197]

@startazz Ahh its fine. I was wondering why you were going at me. Lol

[p3x197]

@startazz Oh yeah. You better sub for ALL the massive pain u have caused me! ;-) :p

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@p3x197 sounds like you have it covered. with two sets of landing gear you wont have to worry about getting the CA'd one loose!

[p3x197]

@HorizonRCdotCom Well not quite, they just sent me the axle and nothing else. So ill need to use shear brute force to take the nut off.
