The landing gear lacks alot to be desired....but it is a very nice copter..I've crashed mine and put a new titanium shaft in it ..that micro heli shaft and main gear combo is the best way to go..plus put the micro heli skids on ..but anything else keep factory plastic parts .cause thos heavy metal grips bend and add to much weight
There is an expectation for the hobby that you always check what is included in a package and what isn't. I think Horizon Hobby or elsewhere tries to use RTF, ARTF, BNF designations to allow you to avoid the hassle of specifically seeing what's in the box. If you know what those mean and what they don't, I think you're probably good if you're working with the same company. But if you don't see any of those, never assume what you're being given. Also, the mCPx BL is not an indoor heli at all. That's too much power to be indoor appropriate even if you have the control (or FBL/Tx slowed settings) to avoid hitting things and other people. It definitely will put a substantial mark on any indoor surface or wall, and would cause mild pain if you hit someone even on top normal clothes or directly on the skin.
Had it done to me too.. I hot glued mine back in...think the first few crashing caused it to come out but I'm really surprised you need a new rotor head..I was able to straighten my shaft to get her flying til a new one came
Come to find out my circuit board shorted out and I had no tail authority it would even spin the tail motor, Horizon hobby has great warranty and they covered the board but I ended up not needing a rotor head just a swashplate and a main shaft hard hit but she's back in action and I love this little heli it's my first and I'm not 3d but getting way better at direction
I know now, like some other people I didn’t read all the information before I ordered just looking out for other pilots. I have been flying for 9 years and wasn’t use to HH not provide a battery and charger like the MCPX bl gen 1 and the 15 other Heli’s I own from HH. But thanks for watching😉
@@Invertedhover1 Been guilty of that myself. I was just wanting to emphasize what you were saying was important information. People, including myself, need to pay careful attention to the information on the sales page before they complete their online orders. I also use the 2S JST-PH Charge & Balance Cable charger adapter from Progressive RC so I can charge these 2S 280mAh batteries from my big charger. www.progressiverc.com/products/2s-jst-ph-charge-balance-cable Any more, I think the only time the battery and charger come included is when it is either RTF, or only requires a small 1S battery like the Nano S2 and a few of the UMX planes.
I watched waiting for the Important information.

Thanks for posting...Looks like a fun little heli....Thumbs Up!
Mobius HeliTime Highly recommended, super smooth and awesome power to weight ratio!!
I have a Nano and it was interesting to see the size difference. Thanks.
I agree it was surprisingly larger then the nano

Thanks for the unboxing content, awesome...
Careful the tail boom works loose and it will loose control and mess it all up waiting on a rotor head now
I haven’t had any issues with my tail boom in a year and a half, but I will keep an eye on it thanks!

Good news Horizon usually will take care of you. I have had mine for 1.5 years no issues at all thankfully 🙏🏽
That’s a good idea. I have only had 2 minor crashes in a 1.5 years….sounds like crash damage
What the hell is a partuitary battery? You can use any 2s lipo charger to charge those batteries.
It's called bind and fly basic for a reason!!
I sure was to order it
No battery no charger lol
