Default RE: Eflite Blade CX

Hello all,
I just picked my BCX up here in NC, the last one the shop had in-stock. Now, with less than 20 mins total flight time, I'm really pleased with how stable, and how well this heli flies right out of the box.

I've also flown the Century Hummingbird (V1) , and I think the BCX is a much better beginner heli. It's also easier to fly indoors, since it responds gently to the controls.

I keep reading about folks breaking the BCX hub, or blades, and I think about the LMH Corona I used to fly; ..into trees, houses, and of course, the ground. Without breaking anything. Not that it didn't break eventualy, but you had to try hard, and often! Good ol' American engineering and mfg.

But, I wish I had this BCX instead of the Corona, back then. This will be my rainy day, indoor practice heli, and my "...here, try flying a helicopter" trainer.

...got to go, my Lipo has finished charging....
