I had zero QC problems with any of my mSRXs and mCPXs (although one could argue some design flaws, which affect everyone equally), and major QC problems with my 130x - blade grips with no threads??!? Tail vibration so bad that TT gears stripped after 4 flights?!?!? These are the kind of problems that simply should not be present in a product supposedly flown for a pack as part of the QC process.

The 130x is a fantastically designed heli let down by substandard QC. It's the 1st blade heli I've owned where each pack I feel worried that the heli will be damaged through no fault of mine. That kind of detracts from what is supposed to be an enjoyable hobby.

I'm not angry at HH, but a little disappointed at this point. Though not so disappointed that I don't have an nCPX on preorder....

The 130x is a solid flier in stock form. Tail issues are caused by unsquare tail shafts and unbalanced blades. Mine flew solid. To bad the electronics were put together in a rush. I had a mis-calibrated gyro and my servo wires are coming off quicker then a strippers clothes for 100 bills.

Plus the 300x I just got today. It's an addiction.

The one non Blade is a Brookstone gift that started the addiction.
One mcpx had it's 3 in 1 out for a BL conversion.

Gave up on the 130X? I thought I remember you saying you got one. What finally did you in, could I ask?

I still have mine but boy, I'm a masochist lol...

6:

Force Battle Heli
mCX
mSR X
mCP X
NanoCP X
450x

After flying the 450x, its hard to enjoy flying the others. I do enjoy messing around with the nano which I typically do only 3D with. The mCP X doesn't work well due to some kind of issue causing it to go into low voltage cut very quickly after power up. The mSR X is on its way to being sold and the coax heli's are almost exclusively flown by friends and kids who have never flown helicopters before.

have you tried replacing the main frame and main shaft bearings? i had a similar issue with my mcpx, replaced the main board, motor, tail, only to still have the same problem. then i replaced the main frame and main shaft bearings, back to normal again
my guess is after multiple crashes i warped the main frame causing too much friction on the main shaft or bearings reducing flight power and sucking the batteries quicker then normal
main frame takes probably 20-30 mins tops its really easy

I only have two

Mcpx bl
Nano bl

Agree with all on HH lack of quality control. I have had to spend hundreds to fix their mistakes. Now both helis are solid, and stupid fun to fly.

I am lucky to have Blade models that don't appear to have quality control issues. My Blade helis are listed on my sig but the mCPX on my sig is the second one. The first one is still up there somewhere in a cluster of pine trees.
