Walkera Genius: 6 axis flybarless!?!
Just found out about this. Looks durable too but I'd wait till the price goes down to MCPX levels:

Yeah. Wow Hobbies had a price drop recently. I guess it wasn't selling that well. Unfortunately, I got a bind and fly and didn't realize the 1 cell battery wouldn't work with any of the chargers I have. So, I'll have to wait until I get until before I can give it a try.

Speaking about Wow Hobbies, I'd definitely buy from them in the future. The M120D01 was my first purchase for them and they did test it out before they sold it to me. The box also has a sticker showing it was Q/A tested. The test included binding, take off, simple maneuvers and collective testing.
In contract, I bought a 4F200 form x_____ last week. The swash plate bolts were loose but worst of all, the flybarless unit was off center causing the 4F200 to fly a little off angle. Had I bought the 4F200 from Wow Hobbies, that unit wouldn't have been sold. http://www.wowhobbies.com/ |

Montrose is north of Glendale - so it's a bit of a ways from Wow Hobbies - but since I was getting the parts for my 4F200, I figured getting the M120D01 would make the trip worth it.
Yes, I noticed Wow has special updates that others don't. They have the brushless kit for the MCPX: http://www.wowhobbies.com/e-flite-bl...p-x-parts.aspx On the plus side, I got my MCPX charger to charge the M120D01's battery. Just took a little modifications. |

Just wondering. For you M120D01 owners, how long does it take for you to charge your stock battery. I was able to modify my MCPX's connector to charge my M120D01's battery but it takes about 45 minutes charging at 7 amp.

You know, for some reason the big 850's seem to take forever to charge, I usually use my adjustable eflite chargers (one of the few things I like better from eflite) I switched all my micro's to the jst so I can swap lipos around. And the 850's take over twice as long to charge as even 650's. I never have gotten too deeply involved in the theoretical side of lipo technology. I don't know if there is some connection between c ratings and how fast they charge. I always thought that high c allows faster safe charge rates but thought that actual charge time at a given charge rate was the same......anyone who knows want to chime in? Ps. Vronny and all you guys that can go to wow, walk in and just pick up the latest walkera and other cool heli stuff......you guys suck. Really, I got some local yocal hobby shops with heli departments tt are like 2 showcases. They don't even know what walkera is. They carry every brand there is.............as long as it rhymes with metite

Genius
Hi,
Has anyone done a detailed review of the WK genius yet? I've searched and can't find one? I currently have a CB100 and am thinking of either getting this or the V100D03BL (which by all accounts is a decent little heli) for my first CP but can't make my mind up lol Thanks in advance for you help. |

Thanks for the reply Razors.
Been speaking to MM and they can do me a Genius with a Devo 8 rather than the Devo 6 for £200, its very tempting

So, if one already has a few mcpx, is it worth their while to add a genius to the stable. Does it have a different "feel" in the air. thx

Can I have peoples opinion on the deal MM have offered me please, Genius CP with Devo 8 for £200 (GBP) ?? Does it sound like a fair price? Not including shipping obviously
Would be grateful for any input I have limited funds and need to make sure I am getting the right heli for my first CP and a good deal

I have not flown mine yet, but the Genius is a pinch smaller than the MCPX. It's closer in size to the MSR, actually it practically is the same size but longer tail.
With the Genius's ability to switch from beginner to 3D mode, it's possibly a good one for a beginner except you'd have to either get the 2801, or get the RTF kit with their new TX. I'm hoping mine will allow me to enjoy it in the living room as I'm not yet brave enough to hover the MCPX in the living room. I find the MCPX still feels big even though it's small. I can let you know when I fly it and see how the two modes differ. |

Interesting. I got the v400 to hover in my kitchen. I wouldn't want to fly it in there but the gyro did make it controllable. I also fly a 120sr around the same area and its bigger than palm sized - even got it doing circles. I think you will be fine with a micro like the genius inside.
