Taking the new mCPX BL out for a first test flight. I need to break it n more and get collective management under control but seem like a solid heli. I love the way the tail motor screams... Weeeeeeeeeee
Much for solid than the original mCPX's and feels like a Blade 130x

Why is it the sound of the tail motor reminds me of Mr Bill, only happy ;D

Not sure about sounding like Mr. Bill but I think more like the "Manti Te’o Girlfriend Hoax on the phone"! LOL
.....but seriously, can you tell a difference with this new BL model?

I am the youngest of 3 and my sister was really in to SNL. I knew about Mr Bill before I ever saw him. I live in a small town and as a kid we got 3 channels of TV CBC, CTV and CBS (WWNY) We didn't get cable in our little town till 1980.
It just sounded like the helicopter was saying wee in a Mr Bill voice ;D As long as it doesn't say Oh Noooo

Realy nice video Chris, seems like a really cool heli! Would it be an alternative to a reg. mcpx or nano as a first cp heli. Asking cause if it could be used as a trainer then I wouldn't have to upgrade later to bl. Seems like another good heli from blade.

Ya I want to get more some flights on it. After that video the weather turned to crap and has been that way since. I believe it will be a big hit though. With the brushless motors it is a lot more powerful than the original mCPX's and the Nano and it seems Blade finally found the cute to a rock solid holding tail! Another benefit you would have over the mCPX originals and the Nano is that this one is about and inch or so Bigger than past mCPX's. Remember the bigger the disc, the better it will fly. Turned down the rates and throw in enough expo I think this would be a great Heli for you to beat up. It just won't take the abuse the Nano will though. You still can't beat the price and durability of the Nano. Plus the Nano uses the $2-$6 batteries. Though it won't break the bank the mCPX BL uses a 2s lipo coming in at $15.

Nano uses the same lipo as the org. mcpX?

Yes the little 1s lipos you just bought from RH. I'd say for a 3D beater the Nano is the way to go for under $150 A hard crash with the new mCPX and off to the hobby store. I've literly flown the Nano into everything and it keeps asking for more! Now it's my dad's turn to beat it up

Cool...thanks! I think I am going that route since I've burned my board on my mcpX. Buying a new board is about half the cost to a Nano plus everything on my mcpX is pretty beat up at this point. I almost said the hell with micros but l got a bunch of new 1s lipos recently that have nothing to use them on so it's either a Nano or a micro plane!
