http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmwuiEV31GY&feature=PlayList&p=69259A0D0D5C7EB6&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=39
do a search on here, Aitch has got or had most of the small helicopter by the looks of his threads
lol yeh your right there,, i seen it at the gadget show it looks amazing,,
I have one, it works very well ;) VERY robust, I've crashed it many times, I've never broken anything :thumbs:
Not very fast though which is good when you want to learn.
I've also got the CX2 version which quite nice but very very fragile. One crash = parts to change
My house mate and I have them, awsome fun, easy to fly and stable enough to set up stupid hard assualt course's. You will have hours of fun, plus on the rare chance of damage the parts are really cheap.
I also have the Eflite Blade Msr, which handles like a full size heli, and a dam site more difficult to fly, but still good fun.
Looks 4 channel which is probably a first for a chopper of that size

They are 4 channel with the 'proper' arrangement of controls
Thats good. Where do i buy
I've got something similar, but not as controllable as that. Mind you, mine was less than £20, whereas those are a lot more.

I had a picco too, it was a joke (funny one though)
The mCX starts to be something very well engineered.

Mine is a 4 channel indoor helicopter. Just not as well engineered :wack:. But then when I fly it into the wall when I'm pissed for the umpteenth time, when it does eventually break I am quids in - I can have at least 3 before I have even come close to the cost of the eFlight Blade mCX ;).
Besides all of which, my 3 channel Chinook is actually better to fly anyway :)
just found this on ebay i just bought one there are only 2 left no doubt aitch will buy one lol,,

buy now £50 plus £5.30 postage
blade MCX is the best small heli by far, we fly them all day long in the shop and we are still on the same demo one after a year of flight, even the same blades, and its not flown easy LOL
also just to add they are bringing out a new one although as with all new things they come with at larger price tag.

yep, can't beat E-flight IMO. I've had a Blade CX2 and it was pretty damn incredible! Took heaps of abuse, all i needed was some uprated landing bars and bendy blades and it was near enough indestructible.
The MCX is a great bit of kit too, just a scaled down version... rock solid to fly out the box and easy to get the hang of, go for it!
MCX definitely, great little chopper, very easy to fly great for learners :thumbs:

Whats the bes place for a Chinook buying wise?
Flea bay?
Edit, did a search on ebay, fancy a single rotor heli?
Any recomendations?

I bought mine on eBay - it is the Syma S026 you want :thumbs:
I might treat myself to an MCX when my other indoor 4ch dies :wack:

However, after reading this thread last night (beer may have been consumed I hasten to add) I ordered a micro 3ch with gyro for £15 :o
which one did you get? , there are some cracking 3 channel units out there now, althought you have to have the ones with gyros

One of these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GYRO-Metal-3-Channel-Mini-RC-6025-1-Helicopter-11cm_W0QQitemZ140399610913QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_To ysGames_RadioControlled_JN?hash=item20b0780c21) :)
It finally arrived today...

It's a fantastic little machine - flies superbly straight out of the box and is the most manoeuvreable I've had so far, even better to fly than the Chinook and the 4ch indoor one :nod:. It's very well made and is tiny :eek:

That does look nicely made, it also looks tiny, get it on the scales!
i am selling one of my E-FLITE BLADE mCX as they sent me two,,

Blimey!! Don't fart while you're flying it :eek:

Ok I too drunkenly bought one :wack:
And frankly it's fooking amazing :eek: :notworthy :cool:
It's by FAR the best mini heli I've flown so far (it'll actually properly hover for a change and I can land it accurately on stuff :eek: )
Only problem I've had so far is that it doesn't last long enough :(
Did come with a USB cable to charge the heli though :thumbs: (So I've got it plugged into my PS3 :D )
I think I may be getting this mini heli bug :wack:

I flew all three of my favourite helicopters back to back last night and this is the best by far :nod: And as I can't see how this can be improved upon, it will curtail my helicopter spending habits :wack:
you should try the E-FLITE BLADE mCX

If it cost ~£15 to my door, then I probably would. But at nearly 4 times the price, I don't see the point when one of these flies around my living room or office just as well :)
cost wise they are not in the same league but if you like the small helis and want something that will push your skill level to the next step then go for the blade MSR, dream to fly but not child's play like the rest of the small 3 channel units.
I'm not interested in pushing myself - I want an easy to fly, accurate helicopter for as little money as possible so that if I crash it and damage it, I don't have to worry about cost. It's all just waggling sticks at a toy, regardless of how many channels, so if a three channel is cheaper and easier to fly, it suits me fine :)
lol thats a Cop out LOL , the more channels the more fun you have :thumbs:
....and the more you cry when you drop it ;)
Despite my massively expensive helis, I can see where Aitch is coming from :nod:
Is there any benefit to getting a BNF and a proper transmitter? :confused:
No not really, unless you're planning on upgrading to something bigger/better in the future.
I've dabbled with the bigger helicopters and I've found I just don't have time to fly them because of having to travel somewhere with enough space to fly them. Then there is all the messing about changing and charging batteries after only a few minutes flight, if you are using a battery powered one :wack:.
And then there is the aforementioned cost - I've got a Skylift Twister in bits that I've only flown a handful of times and will cost a fair wack to rebuild, if I can even find the parts :rolleyes:. For the price I bought it for I could have had about 8 cheap indoor ones, which would have been flown far more often :nod:
So I have come to the conclusion that I will only spend ~£20 or less on indoor ones that I can fly while I am watching telly or relaxing. And so far, the little red thing has been the best of all of them - it flies where I want it to fly, with little difficulty and few crashes :).
Got an radom Email for some Chinese exporter today, with one of the coolest flying machines ever, thinking about getting a box of them :D

Buzz fly make (imho) the best 4ch and 6ch micro helicopters :thumbs:
Ive got one of these http://www.buzzflyer.co.uk/Sub-Micro-RC-Helicopters/Buzz-Fly-SE-2.4G/p-97-1063/ (watch the vid)
properly laid out controls and flies like a real little helicopter (without collective)
So much ****ing fun you wouldnt believe :) That and the spares service in terms of delivery is second to none!

And I seriously want one of those x-wings. Where can I get one?
Edit: Just found one, too expensive for me:(
yea they are made by walkera so they are not massively cheap :(

This is what I am talking about - I don't need a spares service ;)
Trust me, You will at somepoint ;)
I was terrifying the cat with mine, all was dandy until he swiped at it and it bounced off the wall... Bent rotorhead :(
If you get one, buy the 8ch tx with it. It has specific model memory ec :thumbs:
Trust me, You will at somepoint ;)
No I won't - I'll just buy another £15 helicopter :p
i feel a challenge to get Aitch to buy a 5 channel Heli LOL , you are a suborn bugger :thumbs:
I'm not really being stubborn - I've had six channel ones, four channel ones, indoor, outdoor, chinnooks and more, and out of all of them, my favourites are the cheap ones and the one I like flying most is the one I have pictured earlier :nod:

Mine arrived today, just waiting for to charge now:)
Forgot to specify colour and they sent me a red one, I dont like red, any other colour would have been fine:rolleyes::(
Ooops :wack:
I've got a blue one :D
R Sendout - If you're not happy with a red one I'm happy to take it off your hands
R.Sendout
22-06-2010, 13:10
Im not that bothered about it being red.... Just would have prefered it not to have been
The fun of flying it outways my dislike of red:thumbs::D

You enjoying it then?
I'm still loving mine :nod:

Yep, its great fun:nod:
The only slight niggle would be forward and reverse flight. It simply wont go backwards and the forward seems to give a burst of forward motion then gradually decrease. I can still control it with enough precision to land it on a coaster which I haven't been able to do with any others I've owned or tried:)
I have an indoor one too :D
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a20/juz13/RC%20PLanes/IMG_1186copy.jpg
Easy enough to fly and photograph at the same time.
I may have just bought one :o

How do you think I got the pictures of the cheapy? ;)
Ive just got a x-wing... :D
How long are you leaving it between charges on usb lead ?
Well... It lasted a day
Broken wing.... The gyroscopes ****ed the balance weights on the end flew off.
The rear motor casing has cracked and has come off
doesn't really fly now :wack:

Took a few hours. i think the 40 foot drop when trying to land it in the rafters of my mates workshop did it
bit of a revival of an old thread,
having had a few cheapie cheap heli's, i went and bought one of these today
http://www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=29848
What a machine!! i have had 3 channel heli's before, but these have a gyro,
definately rekindled my love for the little buggers, gonna look into some flight sim software and a controller and get some 4 channel practice in,
the fella in the model shop was spot on, and had plenty of eye candy on display, hopefully going to look into something bigger i can fly outdoor, as there are apparantly a few flying clubs over here which i never knew about! :)
It finally arrived today...

So I decided Id have one too and it got delivered yesterday - definitely not for outrdoor use but they rock hard indoors :D Awesome fun, and I cant wait to fight the cat with it :D
I rocked it so hard I managed to break a tail rotor (but had a spare) but then I seem to have broken the bit where the top rotor mounts to the driveshaft - it seems to be a tilting jobber to allow the rotorhead a bit of movement - is it fixable do you know??
Also, is there anywhere that does spares, as while the things are cheap I dont want to be shelling out £15 P+P and waiting a week every time I break something :)
ROFLMAO :D
Boss's post is the same helicopter as in the picture above, except it costs £27.00 from the UK :eek:
