My hobby shop just sent his back he sold one to one of our experienced heli guys and he took it home spun it up and learned to duck real fast. They also tried two more at the shop and same thing happened so he sent them back till the problem is fixed all three helies flung a blade off with less than 1 min of fly time. I hope they get the problem fixed because they are a cool little heli.

Mine didn't throw any blades but the 3 in 1 unit was defective. It would lock out and shut down under load. Horizon has put a new one in the mail for me. Hopefully they get all the bugs worked out soon, the few flights I managed were quite fun. I even managed a loop with it.

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.

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.
