A "Light Review" of Blade mQX Quad-Copter, by NightFlyyer.

(Read for Specs and links) Blade changes, Mixing, Configurations, lights, and Nightflyying. I was hoping someone would come out with a bigger Quad-copter for $139, but they didn't so I bought this tiny mQX instead. Next month I will be 64, and the ole eyes are getting tired. This little, ingenious flying machine is hard to tell where the heck your going so I added Lights to aid my failing vision.! I show blade changes and configurations. Now I have a little better edge in the daylight too. Stay tuned for more videos on this tiny electronic wonder.

Here are some specs for the mQX quad-copter.

Overview
The Blade mQX is the world's first quad-copter equipped with the advanced AS3X™ (Artificial Stabilization in 3-Axis) System. The sense of precise control this system gives an mQX pilot rivals that of bigger quad-copters that cost a whole lot more. Indoors or out, breezy conditions or calm, you'll find that you can fly the mQX with complete confidence just about anywhere, anytime.
The Tiny brite lights are bright enough to see in the daylight and really add to the flying pleasure of this unit.
Thanks kindly for all your support. I would appreciate if you would please take a moment rate the video, subscribe to be notified when I produce another RC Television show, and if you know of others that would like to see this video, please pass it on.

[NightFlyyer]

@gmoneyhobbit Thanks very kindly. I appreciate your comments. Stay young.

[freemarlochip]

Got mine yesterday and can't seem to be able to put it down. 12 packs for it aint enough.

[NightFlyyer]

@freemarlochip Ha ha. I have that same problem. Thanks.

[phill903]

The lights really makes it look like a star ship very cool !!

[NightFlyyer]

@phill903 Thanks kindly.

This is definitely one of E-flights coolest models to date & know there's talks of a bigger Brushless version due to the unexpected sales "World wide" ... The 4 local hobby shops in my city can't keep them in stock & can't get them in for 2 more months. Glad I bought mine the first day on the shelf

[brandondgibbs]

Happy birthday and many more years of flying!

[tito11111975]

hi i saw the rate for charging the battery in ur video was 0.5 do u recommend on that rate and did it give more time flying when it fully charge on that rate thnx

[OneWorld4us]

thank´s for sharing it, it looks great !!....

[norman16176]

@Forcemaster2000 thanks for the information -who knows maybe one day some one will build a real quad-copter

[Forcemaster2000]

@norman16176 In real life, a quad-copter would work, and be quite stable, but you have diminishing returns on flight-time to fuel.

[Forcemaster2000]

Looked like a lot of fun for a little quad-copter!

[slashbashin]

[norman16176]
