"Probably the easiest to fly helicopter I've seen."

Blade mCX2 RTF Ultra-Micro Heli

Like the original Blade mCX, the Blade mCX2 is easy enough for anyone to fly and small enough to fly just about anywhere. The mCX2 has the same coaxial, counter-rotating rotor head design as the current mCX, but it adds an extra shot of excitement with user-selectable swash sensitivity and flashing LED lights that are built right into the body. The pilot can change the control settings to enable this heli to perform at higher speeds than the beginner settings. This helicopter also boasts heading-lock like performance for maximum control. It also boasts more powerful motors and a higher capacity 120mAh battery pack. The mCX2 is the ultimate beginner friendly machine with unsurpassed stability, incredible control, and extreme durability.

With a factory-installed 5-in-1 control unit with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 compatible receiver, main motor ESCs, mixer, gyro, and fully-proportional servos come pre-installed. Freedom from frequency restrictions and great control are ensured with the MLP4DSM 4-channel 2.4Ghz Spektrum technology equipped transmitter. The Blade mCX2's ultra-micro size and weight make it possible to fly this heli anywhere indoors. It all adds up to more fun than you ever thought possible with a coaxial ultra micro heli, whether you’re a newbie or a pro. A Blade mCX2 BNF Version is also available.

Negative Pitch Issues Possible

We've been getting a fairly large volume of calls regarding "negative pitch" on the RTF versions of the new MCPX RTF's. Our retailers and customers can tell if this is happening by the heli just sitting on the ground, never gaining any elevation. The RPM of the blades increase, but the heli just stays there like it's stuck to the ground.

What's been found, is that somehow customers are setting the heli into Computer Radio Mode, whereas the MCPX RTF needs to be set to Non-Computer Mode when used with the DX4e.

The solution is just to bind the helicopter to the 4e. This is quite a bit more involved than past Blade Helis, so following the directions is even more imperative for this heli.

Binding Process for Non-Computer Radios
Binding Procedure for Non-Computer Radio (DX4e, DX5e)

• 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the helicopter.
• 2. Power off the transmitter and move all switches to the 0 position.
• 3. Connect the flight battery in the helicopter. The 3-in-1 Control unit LED flashes after 5 seconds.
• 4. Push in on the trainer switch or button while powering on the transmitter.
• 5. Move the rudder control stick to full left after the transmitter LED lights flash twice.
• 6. Release the trainer switch button. Continue to hold the rudder control stick to full left until the blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit is solid.
• 7. Release the rudder control stick.
• 8. Push in on the trainer switch button. The blue LED on the 3-in-1 control unit flashes to confirm the helicopter is in non-computer mode.
• 9. Disconnect the flight battery and power the transmitter off.
