Looks good solid bird

Gyro appears to be garbage

motor speed control seems ok haven't set up soft start yet

servos are either weak or notchy due to new ball links

need some help on this guys ........

some basic do's and don't operating on a modest budget

ive got one or use to have one..bought it initially for practice.. now it has 90% align se v2+v3 components... the copterx's aluminum and plastic doesn't handle crashes very well. very poorly in fact.

hope u didnt use the thread lock that came with the kit.. they're permanent ones.

looking back.. i should've bought an se v2. i got what i paid for..

the only thing i like about the copterx is the soft spindle shaft and spacers that cover the o-ring dampers. also the grips have nicer fit for align woodies.

Just m opinion

I started on a Blade 400 this thing is leagues above that vibe machine I used locktight name brand blue on everything that should have it I know the ball links will have to go at some point I'm just in the setup phase now ...the gyro that came with it was trash I installed the blade stock gyro seems to hold ok but won't take any input from dx6i...anyone that tries to compare a blade 400 to this is smoked up on crack I spooled it up with unbalanced blades to test last night and it was rock solid...no vibes ....now I'm thinking about a new gyro I have a JR 770 on the blade which is nice but anyone have a good gyro/servo combo to suggest that won't kil my wallet?

Wow man I seem to get more and more pissed off

Went to hobby town usa today in cincinnati ...needed gyro tape he sold me servo tape said it's just as good ...fine ok if it is then I asked him about gyro servo combinations he says bargain basement is a GY401 for 160.00 retail and then he heads for the JR didgital servos... I tell him I bought a copterx and he starts with the usuall it's cheap and falls apart bit ......goes on and on after he see's im not spending any real dough he flitters away as I'm checking out I ask him what he flys ....he says he has a blade CP ...I almost start luaghing but dont' becuase I'm getting mad ...this douchebag doesn't even have a real CP copter and never has owned one doesn't want to invest yadadadad.anyway I just thought I'd share another reason I bypass LHS for anything but blades and superglue keep putting douches like this behind the counter so I have a reason to stop shopping at lhs altogether and order from china.
