The MCX ( both in the sim and in real life ) are rediculously stable.

Methinks people are confusing them with micro single rotor helis.

I trim mine out, and I can leave it hovering in all by itself about 4-5 feet above the ground.

If you push it hard, it will not fall out of the sky like some of my older CX helis.

Don't assume that helis are easier because you can handle a CX in the sim.

As that goes a CX heli is like driving an RC 2 channel micro car, when compared to a full five or six channel standard RC heli.

And you cannot compare a CX to a real RC plane either... the former is like comparing a wind-up 15 cent balsa glider to a glow model... they are not in the same league.

That said the MicroCX is a fun to fly around the house.

IMHO the MCX offers you NO aid to flying a real RC plane, they are simply too dissimiliar and stable.
