NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
Hey guys, just picked up my new E-Flite Blade MCX helicopter!
When I first saw these little dudes on E-flite's website, i knew that i would HAVE to have one  Its just like the Blade CX2, but its about 1/3of the size, Weighing only 1oz!!!!! I had been waiting on this guy for quite a while. The release date kept getting pushed back, but finally my buddy at my local hobby shop gave me a ring to let me know that my heli had arrived  I bought the bind-N-fly version, because i had planned on useing my new JR 9303 2.4 radio. The BNF version is only $99, and the RTF version with a small 2.4 radio is $130 i beleive. still an awesome deal! the battery is a tiny single cell 1S 3.7v 110mah lipo, wich charges on the incuded lipo charger that runs on 4 included AA batteries. I just finished the first flight on this little dude, and i'm LOVIN IT! HAHA! here are a few pictures: Also shown with my baby girl to compare size... Madison likes it!

Re: NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
In my opinion, this thing is more stable than the Blade CX2!
i couldnt beleive how easy this thing is to fly. I could literally set it in a hover, and set the radio down. I'm going to try to grab a quick video real quick...May be tough since I'm the only one home right now!

Re: NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
But please get a picture of you getting a video of your self. That might requier more ducktape, which in turn would demand more footage from yet a second video camera. At that point I would call a dude for help.

Re: NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
LOL sleepy! I couldnt find any duct tape, much less another camera, so I
just set the camera on a chair... Make sure to listen close for my bladeMCX/Menz27x10 meeting luckily,this thing only weighs 1 oz, so no damage to the prop was sustained

Re: NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
The shop should be getting a pair of these for me to play with pretty soon
 They look like a hoot! The dog next door is going to have a conniption with this thing hovering riiiiight over my side of the fence  EDIT: Chikn, what kind of flight times are you getting out of that tiny battery?

Re: NEW E-Flite Blade MCX super micro heli!
I'm probably getting somewhere between 7 to 10 minutes...
I only take it in the air about 3 or 4 minutes at a time, and I usually get about 3 flights out of one charge. Not bad for such a tiny battery! The good news is that the batteries only cost around 8 or 9 bucks, so a few extras are definately on my menu, right along with all of the glow-in-the-dark plastic parts as soon as they are available!
