I know the nano will be lighter but haven't they a Hisky 80 with piro comp too? Shouldn't be that difficult I would have thought.

I suppose a level swash could be a issue. How to level except by eyeball.
My mCPX and nano CPX are just expensive curiosities sitting on the shelf after I spent days tuning them mechanically and so many flights trying to use elevator to compensate for nose down piro. |

Agreed. Swash needs to be somewhat level on the 977 but eyeball is really quite good enough. You cannot subtrim the servos on the 977 so you just work with what you got working with full to half turns on the linkages.
If the new nano was like a 977 shrunk down to nano size with nano toughness.. Perfect!

I suppose My HCP100S is different from the stock design...I changed the power lead to use mCPX BL batteries and I'm using a Spektrum sat
When I get a chance, I'll work on it using turns of the servo rods and see if I can get it right...just a slight bit of right drift now |

A LOT of the HF regulars are outside Blade's target market for the nano (me included now). Nano is: - a small cheap CP heli (great for indoor) - robust trainer that can cope with mild wind in the backyard - survives most crashed pretty well (except for landing gear, that is a bit fragile). - entry level to CP heli flying. - cheap enough for an impulse purchase at a hobby shop. Hopefully the new brushed motor lasts longer than the old motor. The old nano motor lasted between 30 and 200 flights. The big driver for people to go brushless on the nano was not power, but durability. A heli the size of a nano is quite a balancing act. Weight, power, agility, durability. The nano fits a CP entry level niche that the mCPX BL is too powerful (and large and expensive) to fulfil. SAFE is a good addition. Just because it's there does not mean you MUST use it. Helis this small are notoriously hard to fly. Anything that helps the new starter is good (they can learn to fly without it once they can actually fly). I would have liked to see: - Brushless for motor durability (still 1S) - Better / more durable skids An entry level flyer will still bang up a nano often enough to require spares. It's just better if failures are from pilot mistakes than component atrophy or design/material short comings. I say, well done Blade. This fills the gap the discontinuation of the original nano left.

Single or double brushless would be more expensive vs a brushed setup, which is dirt cheap. Just look at the price for aftermaket BL ESC and outrunner. As I understand Blade are also done with inrunners and will only go for outrunners in coming heli models. As said before I'm quite sure that they at some time will come with a single or double brushless Nano as well. But again, it'll be heavier and with more HS (my guess at least, especially with an outrunner) - which means it'll not crash as "good" as a super light brushed Nano.

Blade Nano CPX 1.1 Six 6 axis for much acro! Supersede Nano CPX 1.0! Big moter.
Do not buy Blade Nano CPX 1.0 from anyone. $99. Cheap! |

Too many versions. I am kind of tired of the churn. They are pretty cool toys, but that's about it.
Good night. |

I think a pretty pink ribbon would do the trick though

We still don't know if this nano has it or not, as far as I know. |

For me the big question now is whether or not they've made a new main motor or if it's the same with a different connector. The diameter is the same, which kinda worries me As pointed out there's also two empty connectors - what else could that be than built in BL ESCs so you can upgrade to brushless main and tail. Which would have to be inrunner at least for the main.

But this is exactly the problem and the misconception going on. 3D pilots not being the target group anymore. I don't want a 180 for my living room. If I flew my 180 in there, it would only put my mom, my hamster, myself and all the inventory in serious danger. I want a tiny beater that instantly loses all energy when the motor is off... Aka the old nCPX. The nCPX was clearly advertised for hard indoor 3D back then when it was announced. It was presented as extremely capable, agile, nimble and powerful indoor 3D heli, targeting exactly me and other advanced 3D pilots. I had two of them. I loved them. One is still sitting here and will get a new set of batteries this winter, because I CAN do all the crazy 3D stuff from the field in my bedroom with it. Without worrying. As advertised back then. And I know LOTS of professional pilots who did or do the same, keep a Nano as their indoor beater they don't have to worry about. Quote:

And trust me, every single inanimate object (and one of the animate ones aka me) in this house has felt the nCPX impacting into it at least once. May it be misestimation, dumb-thumb, insufficient power or just flying at 3am, barely awake, the nano just took it. And it was awesome. Quote:

Please don't get me wrong. I'm neither trying to bash Blade nor you ArchmageAU, I'm explaining why this whole Safe stuff upsets me and why I'm not gonna buy this heli. Peace guys

Doesn't look like there's a lot of real estate on the board for BL ESC's onboard is what I think.

Well, as for SAFE I don't think it's much of a specific development for the Nano. They have it now and seem to implement it into all their models. I too agree that you don't really need rescue on the Nano as it survives most crashes anyway (don't hurt though!). I think it's more the self level for beginners that is something useful - it does tame the heli down to an extreme extent.
Now and I really really hope they didn't put the old & hated brushed main motor in there... if they did I don't wanna be here to see the reactions

What't the benefit of laying the 3-in-1 down btw? HH has a policy of not speaking about future releases/upgrades - so they probably won't spill the beans as to those connectors. However the electronics wizards on here should be able to find that out the minute they lay hands on one...

Hmmm it seems to me that an awful lot of people are bashing the concept of a safe flying mode.
JUST TURN IT OFF And fly like you usually do.

They create more threads and posts than Blade fans do But it's probably because their "fav" forums are plagued by inactivity Let's see... Chroma... nQX FPV... nQX 3D... Glimpse... 180CFX... 360CFX... Mach 25 FPV... Inductrix quad... 230S... 270CFX... nCPS... Are there more? What other mfg'r has introduced as many new platforms in the last year? |

Yes. The 360CFX announced at the beginning of this year. There are others, too, like their 250 class FPV racing quad. Can't remember what it's called. I won't count the Chroma since that's a straight up copy from Yuneec. Blade just slapped their name on it.
