Default Mini Blade CX

I'm not sure how many have seen this, but this looks pretty awesome, and only 1 ounce!

Thats pretty awesome. I wonder what there going to charge for them, and how they handle? All the mini ones I have gotten, didnt steer to well, but they have always been them cheapy ones. This one looks alot nicer.

I suspect this will handle pretty well. I haven't bought a little heli for my son yet because I wasn't too sure about buying a toy r/c heli. Now that I've got an option that looks like something he can't do too much damage with, that's priced reasonably and I can get parts for....

I've had several small helis with counter rotating blades. IMHO, they're fun for indoor flight, outdoors the slightest puff of air makes them a handfull. My heli flying instantly improved with I moved up to a .50 size electric with full CP. A larger heli is much more stable, easier to see in flight and consistant through a battery cycle.

$129 isn't bad at all, especially for what your getting. I can't wait to pick one up, should make for some good fun in the garage on a rainy day.



I think this is the most useful post I've made...... Ever. It will be followed by more.

It should bind to any 4+ channel spectrum unit, and a couple of JR units. It will certainly bind to my DX7. For that matter my CX with an upgraded (CX2) reciever unit binds to my DX7.

I have 2 T-Rex 600 Nitro helis and 1 T-Rex 450SE V2 heli. The canopies were all bought - there is no way I could paint like that. If you look under my workbench you can see where the other 2 helis are hiding.
