Got my MCPX repaired and setup. Boy does it fly well. My only gripe is that the tail blows out under full collective/cyclic load during flips. But I have read that you have to be really smooth on the sticks and not jam them to their stops and it will fly well.
Practice, practice, practice.
So far I've Lawn Darted it 6 times and only broken one link

I am really enjoying mine too. I had to add a lot of negative atv for inverted flight. I tried flying it inverted in the garage a few times and failed everytime, then on a clam day I tried it outside and found out that I didn't have enough negative pitch. I could flip it over and hover it inverted but, didn't have enough pitch to flip it back over. Wrecking this little bugger in the grass is better than concrete.

very nice fleet
i just started with the heli's and it is hard for this old man lol

I have some catching up to do, with flying the little bugger. Not having any success yet with looping it, but still having a lot of fun flying it.

You should build the "Highway Man" semi truck. Zimms Customs posted a pic of it. The helicopter flies out of the semi trailer! It'll be cool. Nice fleet.

Phew...that scared me. I thought I was going to see a video of a 500 sized heli flying around an rc race with a ton of people around! I am glad the track was empty. I can handle a heli fairly well but, they still scare the heck out of me.

[TheMachinist]

Yeah they scare me too. I fly at the track when nobody is there. Just so I don't have to worry about hitting anyone.
