  • Been reading lots of problems with these things. Understandable at such extreme rpms. Plus, all in one cheap 3 axis gyro & servo board. I can't see this being reliable beyond 300 flights. Bushing wear, pressed parts wear, vibration...etc. It's been about half year since your original review, do you still feel good about this product?

  • Thanks. Was about to take servos apart an clean them. This solved my vibration issue while I was still on the ground. But believe it or not, the rubber band fix helped my air vibration

  • heli-max novus cp micro heli what around before the blade mcpx...full collective pitch ultra micro heli

  • Here is the fundamental cause of mCP X vibration and a 100% fix:

  • THE MCPX V2 IS OUT NOW AND I THINK ALL ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED

  • hi there nice video hey where ther e a web site with build inf on helis ? thamk you

  • I've been using a s107g do you think this is a good transition to a collective pitch heli?

  • @iseldoff Jumping straight to a CP heli from a 107G isn't recommended; a mCX2 would be the next step (four-channel coaxial, stepping up from a 3-channel like the Syma), then to an mSR (fixed pitch single rotor)... though you can skip the mSR if you buy a DX6i and set up the mCP-X to run in 'fixed-pitch mode'.

    It's a LARGE skill jump; and to start you're going to have to un-learn the muscle memory you developed with the Syma; proper Mode 2 have rudder control on the left stick with the throttle.

  • Great info, question: If that center white gear drops as you described...It seems as though that would change the pitch.......Is it possible that could be the reason my mcpx won't get off the ground? No lift at all because of the change in pitch with the blades dropping down? Thanks Rob-

  • @robbie2737 when the gear drops it won't fly because the the main gear is not in line with the motor pinion gear

  • @robbie2737 i don't think your gear slid down the shaft. if it changes the pitch of the blades when you try to move it then it's not sliding.

  • Thank you, sir for this tip! It worked.

  • The grommet mod and extending your boom by .25 inches will make a huge difference

  • I have done this and replaced my feathering shaft and ive done the grommet and heat shrink mod. I have ABSOLUTELY no slop in my heli whatsoever. I think some people are lucky and got a good McpX. My opinion is that the board is faulty and they should have made this heli with a flybar. My friend has 2 McpX Helis, one wobbled and flew terrrible right out of the box. The other one flew great out of the box and after many many crashes still flies great. My conclusion: this heli is hit or miss!

  • Thanks on vid your my best friend on here great vids of heli I'ma make more vids soon thanks Raymond

  • I figure this out after my first crash, you don't need a tool just use both hands. Put both thumbs on the head, and your fingers on the main gear press evenly around till is snaps back into place. Simple problem solved.

  • @Feckerhead much smarter to use the tool...with the tool you're hitting the gear dead center at the strong part of the plastic gear...I've done it your way,much to risky with the bending the thin plastic.

  • Excellent communication skill !. Thank you for the video. Keep them coming !.

  • Great tip! I also did the following recommended mod - put a rubber (complete) canopy grommet on the swashplate ball joints for the front two servos and carefully cut one down the centre line (with a modelling knife) and put one half on the rear servo swashplate ball joint. (this can be a bit tricky, as it's a bit of a tight space - I stuck the grommet onto a small strip of masking tape and pushed it into place with a screwdriver) Vibration was reduced significantly.

  • I want to buy one, but wondering if they were going to make an updated version or a new small heli that can do 3D??

  • Great Video. Thanks dude.

    From South Africa.

  • Great information.

  • nice
