Multi-rotor madman
So today I went to our local hobby shop and they had just rcv'd the new Blade MQX micro quad-copter. The guy at the store has seen my big quad a number of times, so he asked me if I wanted to give this little micro quad a try. Of course I said yes! (To be truthful, I couldnt get my hands on it fast enough!) LOL
So he got out the RTF version that comes with the transmitter and everything needed to fly and handed it to me. I was so shocked at how well this little thing flies!!!! I was expecting it to be loud because of the gear drives etc....but it is actually super smooth, it has plenty of power, it was ALOT smaller than I had expected it to be. You can literally fly this thing comfortably around an office.
The only negative I could find about it in the short time I flew it, was that flying on the little transmitter that comes with it, it was very touchy. Most multi-rotors need to have at least some expo dialed into them.....binding to a DX6i, DX7, or DX8 would allow a person to really smooth it out even more.
Needless to say I want one. I am pumped to see a multi-rotor being put into the "mainstream" I think it will really help to support/promote this side of the hobby.
Again, I was very impressed, and for 139 BNF and 159 RTF its almost hard to pass up. Check it out.
Has anyone else flown one? and if so, what are your thoughts about it?
Cheers!
Eric
