Hi all ( nerds ) I have recently purchased a blade mcpx helicopter and was wondering if any of you out there are in the know how to fix/setup and fly this sort of model ? I'm quite good at crashing them and that's it at the moment but I'm looking for someone who knows what there doing ???? Muchos gracias

What made you go for the Blade mcxp? what Tx are you using?
If you want to learn helicopters you are better getting a known brand (Esky- Align, Walkera, etc..)
I have a Esky Belt CP (450 size) & a Trex 500 .... Ive also have lots of co-ax...

Setting up heli's is straight forward as long as you have a good guide & the correct tools....
See www.heliguy.com they have loads of useful info there.

I chose the blade as its indoors and out and it does stunts when your ready , I've had a raptor and a merlin 380 but fancied something small to practice with and I bought it new for £117 on fleabay and felt it was a good buy ??

First Google found this, might be worth checking : http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1405236

I've only ever flown one nitro heli, that was a case of slowly increasing the throttle until you can practice take off and landing from about 3-4 feet, adjusting any settings that allowed it to take off in a reasonably straight line. Wasn't that keen on owning a heli, cost a fortune in parts and fuel!!

Yep pretty scary stuff them nitros and that's what I had to do but when I had it hovering I had second thoughts especially with my dog taking a liking to it ! It was all a bit too dangerous for me so I went smaller and electric .

Well I sorted this little heli out last night and kind of had it hovering ! I think it must be outside to learn then indoors when ive got to grips with it , does anyone know of there are any clubs over here for this type of thing ??

If you want one for indoor use I'd go for a co-ax like esky Dauphin http://www.heliguy.com/Electric-RC-Heli ... Main-Group OR
Big lama etc http://www.heliguy.com/Electric-RC-Heli ... Main-Group

Ive had boh & they are super stable!..

Any heli with a tail rotor is tricky to fly & best for outside use. Get a sim to practice on- thats a great way to learn..
This is my 500 size airwolf:

Now that's a big chopper I don't suppose anyone on here has a flight sim that they don't need ?? I will be taking it down the rugby club this weekend weather permitting and trying my best !! I can't get it to hover in the house so I'll give it a whirl down there that way it's got a soft crash site

'FMS' is a free flight sim- google it & im sure you will find a download .. here is a forum on it: http://www.heliguy.com/Forum/fms-free-f ... r-f45.html

I have downloaded this and got the lead with a transmitter for the merlin but I can't get it to work , I've gone through the settings as described by merlin but the transmitter doesn't do anything ???
