Alright guys ! So I've had a couple of helis before. Started with a CX2, was too big to fly indoor (which I mostly do, in the garage). So I went with a MCX which was a blast but was really limited in terms of flight capabilities. So I figured I'd go CP and bought a Blade CP (MSR wasn't available at that time). It was a huge step forward, I had a lot of fun with it but couldn't really have fun indoor with it. So I let the hobby on hold for a while. Went back to cars. This week I received an email alert from a hobbyshop announcing the MCPx. I wasn't even aware that a 3D micro heli was availble. They have been for a little while now and that kind of brought the hobby back to my mind.
So that's it, I want to get myself a micro 3D heli ! The MCPx looks pretty interesting. However the Nine Eagles Solo Pro 100 particularly caught my eyes. But I couldn't find much info on it. It basically looks like a chinese copy of the MCPx. The price is considerably lower and the radio looks to offer some very interesting features over the spektrum that ships with the MCPx.
However I am worried about parts availability. Hobbyking definatly has some incredibly low prices but it takes an eternity to get parts ... And you most likely won't get the same ''community support'' as MCPx gets.
As far as quality, has anyone gotten one ? How is it ? Would you recommend it ? I'm still really trying to figure out if I go MCPx or Solo 100 and am basically trying to gather some information on which I can base my decision .
