NEW - Review KBDD MCPx Blades
Hey folks... I got to try the new KBDD MCPx blades last weekend and thought I would share my views about them.
It's what I am flying now for sure after getting use to them. The MCPx is a unique heli in many ways. I will say some might not like them and some will. It's like the stock bullet blades vs the stock 3D blades argument. Fly what you like but for sure I say to give these a try and not more than one or 2 flights. When I "tuned" to these and went back to stock 3D blades... I am not going back. FYI so you know I preferred before getting these the 3D blades over the bullet blades. Just so you know. Anyway on with my video review! VIDEO -> Review of KBDD's New MCPx Main Blades (71 Megs) Bob

I'm not going to watch this video out of fear that I'll want to buy an mCPX afterward.

Thanks Bob,
I noticed with mine it felt like I had taken some expo away, a lot more responsive, but after 2 flights I have recalibrated to the new feel, I'll never go back and they are cheaper in the uk than stock blades !! /Steve

No not yet. I took me forever to break my first swash so I had another and am using that. When it breaks metal swash time

You should replace it anyway. I just put a Micro Heli swash on today and it took a majority of the slop out of the head. Now we just need stiffer dampers.

The aluminum swash works great, I know after breaking 4 or 5 of the stock swashes (always the elevator ball snapping off).
The only shaking problems I had was when the servo contacts were dirty. Hate to hijack the thread, but i have to ask please: when you add the extended boom, do you clock the tail motor exactly perpendicular to the main shaft? When I pyro to the right, heli stays in one spot, however to the left, I get a bad drift, like a one foot circle. Really hard to pyro flip with left rudder. Tried to do a complete rebind and setup, no help. |

I have been making it perpendicular. However even with the solid boom, you will notice the tail boom will twist slightly when applying full rudder. I few guys I know can do piro flips with the MCPx but I cannot so I have not noticed this.

Is everthing Stock except the Tail and new blades
I just got mine this weekend. have not done much with it yet but was impressed with it out of the box. A little weak in power. Just flown it in the house so far. I can hear the motor bog when doing pitch pumps. Piro is also a little slow. But all in all great little machine.
So is yours stock in the video except for the new blades and tail mod?? Great flying by the way. |
