Blade MCPX whats next?
Discussion
Having been playing with my MCPX since the new year I am now wondering where to go next?
Hovering, nose in and circuits are not an issue now. I have no interest in 3D as I want to go scale at some point.
My MCPX has developed a really bad tail wag despite long boom,Micro heli swash, new blades, lubed bearings and all the net wisdom.
I am thinking that this is turning into triggers broom and maybe it is time to move on a stage.
What would you look at next chaps?

What transmitter do you have?
If I was you, I would be tempted buy a bigger blade flybarless, like a 450 size and if you dont have a good transmitter you can get very good deals where they include a Dx6i which would set you up for other helicopters in the future.
With the MCPX, are your batteries getting old? low head speed can cause tail wag on these little helicopters as you then need more pitch to hover? I get tail wag if the motor speed is too low when using an older battery. worth a shot if you have tried everything else..

sorry, I remember helping before now and you have a DX6i allready, perfect! I'd go for a blade 450X as you can get used to flying bigger more powerful helicopters and then its the right size ready for lots of after market scale bodies in the future.
good luck, keep us posted what you get!

Thanks for your comments. The batteries seem to make no difference as I have several sizes and ages. It is far worse in the last minute of the pack so I can predict when it will happen. The 90 degree kick seems to have gone now I have tighened everything up to get rid of vibration. Shame I bought a new board before finding that tip hey ho.
LMS is reccomending Blade 450 3d or a flybarless Thunder Tiger 325 as the next step. Looks rather like we are all on the same page.
That said I am curious about the german micro scale conversions on the MCPx. Anyone tried one?

A cracking buy looks to be a blade 300x
A proper size heli but a bit smaller than a 450 size so not so intimidating and more chance of flying in an average size back garden.
Its great value for money at around £200 BNF
It comes with a beastX flybarless receiver which on its own is £130, which if you crash really bad it could then be used on another kit flybarless helicopter.
This is now on my list as my next helicopter!
