My first heli it is awesome very durable and very flyable the learning curve is quick. Get an extra battery and inner shaft with hub holds flybar crashes will finally break the fly bar loose. Over all I love it and recommend it for fun and practice great for winter time indoor flying in average size rooms no huge area needed.

this is a great helicopter to start out with if your new to flying easy to control long lasting flight time and super duriable. i would defently recomend this helicopter to a newbe at flying, theres plenty of local stores that carry this helicoter and it parts and its a very easy heli to fix. the only probels i have had with it is that the part that holds the fly bar on the very top were it forks is very weak and to many crashes and it will send the fly bar flying in the air. over all a great helicopter to begine with i would recomend that you buy a extra batteris and by some extra parts just in case.

I've been flying RC planes and helis for years and this is the most fun I have ever had. Everything they claim about this is true. I was hovering on the second battery. In a few days I was doing forward flight. It's amazing how stable and durable the mCX is for it's size. Once you are away from the ground effect it will literally hover by itself. One tip: Buy at least two extra batteries.

I am an intermediate moving on expert pilot. I got this heli for my birthday to just mess around with. This heli is easy and fun to fly. The controls are very responsive and quick. It is also tough. The only part I have to replace were the rubber O-rings the hold the canopy on because they got old and crumbled apart. To test how tough it is, I have hit walls, the pull strings on ceiling fans to turn them on and off, and oh people and I haven't broken a single part. It has fallen from over 30 feet high when a bird hit it and it survived. I recommend this heli to any beginner pilot or if you want something to mess around with.

I have been tinkering with the Havocs from the "WAL" and the dual rotor Mosquito's from the "Shack" and have been sorely disappointed in the number of control options and handling characteristics. I was ready to try and move up but had no cash. Then I remembered the pile of R/C planes and junk I had in my moms shed. I traded it all in on a brand new E-Flight MCX.

I had been doing some research and had settled on another brand and model that was a size bigger, had a metal frame, and metal parts. But due to the constraints of the deal I settled on the "plasticy" looking E-Flight. Let me tell you, looking at the smooth metallic parts of my first choice compared to this smaller, cheaper looking unit, I was initially not impressed in the least.

As soon as I get the box open and start looking, I begin to change my mind. Metal gears, SOLID plastic construction, precision everywhere!! This wasn't a Havoc or Mosquito, this was something different. The transmitter looks cheesy but feels well made and is smooth and a delight to use. After making a mental note of how solid the rotors fit to the shaft and how everything looked tight, I charged up a battery and gave it a shot. I bumped the throttle and she lept up to about 8 inches and hovered flawlessly. I was AMAZED. The controls were smooth and fluid, and the response was crisp and instant. I couldn't believe how crisp this thing rotates on its axis. Not only does it maintain near perfect hover position but the thing stops spinning on a dime. You can walk the clock nearly to the hour with this thing. I have never flown a 4 channel heli before other than on a simulator (100% fatal crashes every time) so this was an interesting first flight. I started to ease the yaw around a few times, then I started to move forward, backward, and side slip left and right. I couldn't believe how easy this was. In 5 minutes I was doing laps around the room. Not to say that I have mastered the controls, but the learning curve is quick and easy. I love being able to fly sideways or rotate in a circle while fixing the nose(or tail) on a center spot. If you have any experience flying those cheap helis and want to step up, I highly recommend the E-Flight MCX.

This helicopter is great. I got it for my first helicopter and i can fly anything with it. It sometimes breaks because the motor moves out of place and the flybar breaks a lot too. but over all its a great helicopter. I would recommend it to anyone.

If you want just to have a lot of fun without spent months learning how to flly heli, this little guy is for you.
hover extremely well, very stable. and has all heli movements
Anyone can fly it.

It is impossible to not like this little Helio. I have larger models including the Twister Skylift and this is becoming my favorite.

This incredible machine has helped me get better with all my machines and so far has proven to be indestructible.

I have a small office, the Blade is great for relieving stress for a few minutes and is very maneuverable. I bought it on a whim but I am very glad I did. I especially like the quick recharge time for the battery (you should get an extra one because it is hard to put down).

This is a GREAT machine!!

This little bug will astonish you once you bind it to your Transmitter. It is stable as a rock and has a dead-on heading control. I was surprised at its precision and control features. If you are looking for a heli to fiddle around the office during break hours or at home during down time, this is the unit to chose. I have had hours of fun with it. It has incredible pirouette capabilities, and you will jump out of your shoes once you see how it stops after spinning on its axis.... I wish large helis would have a heading control as rock-solid as this one. Enjoy!!!

There is nothing that can be said that no on else has not mentioned. This Heli rocks. It is Ready to fly out of the box. Merely charge the lipo battery with the included charger and in 15 min you are flying. The MCX is incredibly stable and has been considered the easiest RC helicopter to fly.

The best part, replacement parts are easy to come by, not that you will need them that often. They also have glow in the dark parts that really give this heli a cool appearance.

If you are looking for a living room or office flyer, grab this little bird.

I've had this little guy for several months now, and its still fun to hop from place to place around my living room. It's fallen to the floor many times when I missed a landing, and I'm happy to say I've never had to replace a part. Hover and flight is very stable, I'm not really a heli pilot, just have a CX2 and this one, I just followed the manual for setting up my radio and it flew right off the table. Its amazing what you can get right out of a box these days, just a few years ago such a model was only achievable by a few micro experts !

This is one Excellent little Heli. If you're limited with indoor space this is the ticket. I've bounced this heli off the wall's, ceiling fan (fan off of course), and have survived many cat attacks. The optional Glow in the dark part's are alot of fun for light's out. They hold their glow for longer than expected. The glow in the dark skid and main frame don't hold out as well as the original's they seem to be brittle but the price is right so buy a spare of each if going glow in the dark.

I started with a Blade CX2 and learned to control it fairly quickly. Then I bought the MCX and it is so stable that my learning stopped. It is really fun but too easy to fly. One fault of being so easy and so much fun is that you tend to over-discharge the little 110 MAh lipo battery because you won't want to land it! But the batteries are inexpensive, so buy 2 extras when you buy the heli. The MCX can take quite alot of abuse probably due to it's 1 ounce weight. I have flown mine daily for weeks and haven't broken anything yet. I have won several bets by trimming it out and setting the transmitter on the floor and counting to 15. The MCX is a very precision little heli and affordable too. I bought the "bind and fly" version and use my CX2 Tx. Unbelievable fun for the money!

One of the best micro helicopters I have ever owned extremely stable and very agile. Great price for the quality. I would highly recomended it.

I have two Blade mcx's and they are fun to fly. There are things that are not fun. Novice pilots have the problem of reversal in control as soon as the copter faces away and then faces toward them.
A skid control thought to carry a model away from a hazard may just what's necessary to hit the wall. s. Not a Blade problem, but a pilot problem and it happens when flying anything but full scale aircraft. Beginners can fly simple but well designed RC models. But learning is going to be loaded with crashes and damage to the model including expensive replacement of damaged parts.
A beginner can't credibly comment on the Blades ability to fly to a predetermined spot and effect a good landing,. Just Good landing takes practice. Good landing on a predetermined spot takes practice squared. Good. Flying the Blade is fun so that shouldn't be a determent.

Great flying little heli, indoor and even out on a calm day. Got some good stability and agility, and the glow in the dark parts make it fun too. Had a few of these flying around one of the hobby shops, and the 2.4 makes sure there is no glitching nice heli

I have owned a few heli's and i must say this is the easiest one to fly. I should have listened to the other owners in the forums when i asked their opinion on a starter heli and initially got this one. I started out with the falcon 40 as a beginner, big mistake, start out with a coaxial. The Blade MCX is the most responsive one i have bought yet. Very very durable and soo easy to manuever and control with just a tad bit of trim adjustment. I have crashed it quite a few times and it has held up great and even if you have to replace parts, which is rare, they are cheap and can probably be found at your local hobby shop since this heli is so popular. If you are a new pilot and new to the heli world this coaxial heli is the way to go. Trust me, i know and have learned from experience.

Our RC club holds monthly indoor funflies during the winter months. For those of us Canadians who refuse to fly outside in the snow, this is a great way to keep active in the hobby. Our funflies are divided into time-periods for slow-flyers, 3-D flyers and helicopters. For a long time, I would sit and watch the helicopters, since I only flew airplanes. Well, I sit by watching no more!

After someone showed me the new Blade MCX RTF Ultra-Micro Heli, and let me try it, I knew I had to have one. This has to be the easiest to fly 4-channel control helicopter, and since it is so light and small, it can be flown anywhere. After a few flights, I have mastered large figure 8’s, forward sliding takeoffs, and precision landings on small tables and boxes. I bring it to all the indoor funflies now, and have let rank beginners try it. It is an exponentially better product than the toy infra-red control helicopters sold everywhere. I really appreciate the fact that this comes complete with battery, charger and transmitter. This is definitely one the best “bang-for-the buck” flying models ever!

If you are looking for an entry into the world of ultra micro heli flying, this is a can't miss product. The Blade MCX is a rugged, properly designed high-quality UMH that delivers. The MCX is a superb indoor helicopter that you can fly in relatively small spaces with ease. The quality is excellent and the instructions are clear and concise. It is remarkably stable--the MCX will easily hover hands-off--an important attribute for beginners. The MCX is surprisingly crashworthy--so long as you remmeber to chop the power before you crash. Each battery provides ample flight time and extras are inexpensive.

Weak points--few and far between. The control ball extensions on the blades are susceptible to snapping off if weakened in a power on blade strike. Fortunately, replacements are inexpensive (do be sure to get some extra blades) and simple to change out. The only other issue is the durability of the landing gear. Mine snapped after a hard landing from a great height, but was simple to repair with the application of a medium viscosity super glue.

All in all, I highly recommend this product. The price is right and the performance and ease of flight exceeded all expectations. You can't miss with this one.

Hello,
If you are looking for something to keep your flying skills in tune during the winter months the mcx rtf is just for you I picked up one of these after Christmas and have been having a blast flying it in the house and at the gym on indoor flying nights, The guys could not believe how stable it was for its size and with flight times around 10-12 minutes it is a great addition to your fleet.It has true 8 way control fore/aft, up/down, left/right and side to side. it is amazing for its micro size and you can drive your pets crazy with it.Not much else i can say about it but to get one yourself and be ready to experience some fun indoor flying weather at home in the gym or at work in your office (at lunch time of course).
Good times and happy flying
Dave
