Blade 130X

[lkagan]

I got my 450X from Ampdraw. Everything was fine.

I just preordered the 130X with an extra set of rear tail gear. Total with shipping is $244.17.

I am waiting very eagerly to see how a customer will feel about this. I would want non horizon personnel to review it. I am definitely leaning towards getting it though.. :)

[jaydekay]

Thanks horizon hobby I am going to be broke now. 130x and 300x. Oh boy could be a very fun summer.

I hope you're having a fun summer with none of these helis. Pre-order placed, flying season starts, no heli.

Blade and HH need to get their release date stuff sorted out.

Just placed my pre-order as well. Do you know if Amp charges when he ships or immediately?

Pre-ordered! The only Blade I've been disappointed in is the mSRx.

The mSR X rocks for a simple "knock around" indoor FP heli.

If it hasn't already been asked, what's the flight time on this 130? Hope it's better than the stock times of 3-3.5 min for "advanced" flying, as when the mCP X was first released. :roll:

[dbarhsi]

I read somewhere else a square tail is stronger than a rounded one. Take a close look at the 130X picture - it show a square tail boom.

Can someone from HH elaborate a little bit more on the selection of a square tail?

Probably the exact same stock as the square "arm tubes" on the already available mQX, just longer...

I feel for you buddy. Not that I am in the same situation. Just that I saw for myself just how pumped you were to get the 300x. As much as we debated it and see it from different views I still want to read that your flying this thing and grinning ear to ear.:thumbup:

[branflake12]

I've been stuff money into my CD drive since page 2 and nothing is happening!

Seriously thou, i waited for the growing pains to be sorted out with the mcpx, ill probably do the same with this one. Still super excited thou.

I thought I heard James say this is a new motor design. Any thoughts on that? How has Eflights/Blades new motors held up in the past? I am sure by new it means new to their line up. Bet it is a existing motor that they slapped their name onto?:dontknow

Unfortunately, they charge immediately. But at any time, you can cancel the order for a full refund. That's what their site says.

Well depending on how well the 300x does. I think this 130x will make me get rid of the blade 400 and go to something to practice on!

From a walkera v120D02s owner and lover I will be purchasing the 130x. The walkera is a great bird but I love my blade heli's and my new 450x is a dream. I have no problem sending my bonus there way (300x is also being purchased). From the videos this bird looks way more capable than v120. Also HH support is incredible! My only request is for an out of the box brushless mCPX. My guess is they have one for us but a Christmas release (fingers crossed). Thanks for the extra information Blade developers you do a good job interacting with your consumer base!

Preordered 130x and 300x. If only I had a field large enough for 500x.

[litehawkdown]

Well a google search on the motor seems to bring up a whole lot of nothing. A cut and paste from the HH sight to Google brings up nothing but pic's of the 130x? If you correct as google suggests not much else shows up. Not much offered on the footprint on the motor online either. So it is hard to see if there is anything else one can drop in there. Stock motor does look like a performer though!

Yeah, it's kind of annoying.

...Still have the 450Pro and mCP X to fly, but was definitely looking forward to flying the crap out of that economical little thing all season.

Thx - and stand by for the (delayed) grin...haha.

[litehawkdown]

Just plopped my mCPX into the ground hard last night. Realized something today when comparing the Mcpx to the 130x in my mind. Those servo links on the 130x look beefy. The ones on the mCPX are a little more forgiving. I wonder how the servo's fair in a crash. They do have the bend. But might be like a bigger bird. Replacing servo's could get pricey. No real metal upgrade for those I figure too. Something to look forward to. I guess we shall see.

[hamstar78]

thank god it doesnt have a brushed tail:clap, every video i watch gets me pumped for it.

[olemil]

A CP/flybarless/TT tail replacement for the already tried and true 120sr will be a hit!! I was so stoked when I first saw the ad on HH's site, then it dawned on me after reading the specs it was a 120 size more or less (at first I thought it was MCPx size). I am ready to sell my 120sr and MCPx (can't see it for crap outside) and buy this bad boy!! Bring it on HH, I am ready to help you out again any way I can!!! :face

If the main shaft isn't solid CF... Im going to make one before I even get it.

[Mojappa]

Good luck getting the length right and drilling the holes in the right spots.

No :BSS :roll::rotf

Why would you something like that? The 130x is not an mcpx! Two different helis, buddy. BUT, if you managed to do that on the 130X, make sure you post some pictures! :Bang

[newhelicrasher]

Seems impossible without having a stock one in hand to see where to drill your holes but I agree that hollow carbon shafts are a dumb idea.

[Mojappa]

I doubt it will be hollow given the size of this heli.

[newhelicrasher]

I doubt it will be hollow given the size of this heli.

The 120sr is the same size....it has a hollow one.

[Mojappa]

Maybe they'll beef it up given the higher headspeed and power? Can't tell in the pics due to the head button.
