Default Blade mCX first impressions

Wow, this thing is tiny!. Right when i picked it up from the lhs, i couldnt wait to get home and fly it. I had the battery charging whilst driving home. First off, get a second or third battery. The 10 dollars per battery is a great little investment. Once i finally got home i went straight to the basement. (first flight) I lifted off and the thing flat spinned like crazy. I gave it full right trim but it kept spinning left. So what i did, re-binded the TX. After i did that. everything was fine. This thing flys great. Very stable. But i think it lacks in forward flight capabilitys. So what i did was reduced some wieght in the tail. I trimmer about 1/8 inch off the tail fin. Then i cut about 1/4 inch of the tail boom. After that i remounted the tail fin upside down. Now it flys like a beast! =] Great purchase, just takes some tweaking.

Hope this helped,
andrew
