Default I'm a believer!

Everyone has been praising the MCPX, but I was a bit skeptical that such a small heli could fly so well outside. I had a Walkera 4G6, a 120 size cp with a flybar and flying in any wind was a chore. Yes, I have seen them fly, but seeing is one thing, doing is another. I have a 2801 pro TX, so I bought a Genius CP, Walkera's answer to the MCPX. From what I have heard and read, they are really close performance wise. I went outside this afternoon and gave it a shot. Wow, It works great! I had to give it a lot of negative expo on the rudder and some positive on the cyclic but it was great. I guess a flybarless system makes a huge difference.

What makes the mcpx special is its durability.

Crash after crash, most of the time you pick it up and fly some more.

I think it's the perfect trainer.

My wife calls it 'baby whirly"

She even made a it a little hospital bed with blanket when I crashed it real bad.

LOL, that is so awesome. My wife pretty much just tries to ignore my helicopter habit.
