Default picked up a new McPX2

well I picked up a new mcpx today..impressive little heli..went through the regular set-up,plus a few things to take note of....pulled the feathering shaft..it was not lock-tited...but it was straghit...applied a bit of light gear oil to bearings...so I figured it was time to fly,all controls respomded well,except for when it lifted off.

There was quite a bit of vibration,shut it down..went over everything I could think of..came down to the blades...the bullet blades were out by 7 g,s.......straghit set was out by 6 g,s...after I got em balanced,the heli flew incredibly well..I am impressed

It is a neat little heli..takes off so well ,responds to the slightest input..but doesnt over react

I am sure the glitches will come..but for now...money well spent

When I was at school 2.5 minus 2.11 equalled 0.39, but it was a long time ago so maybe things have changed.

Kind of off topic but what kind of scale did you use?
I'm looking for a scale but not sure what's a good one to get.
