The mCP X have been the first helicopter of that size with a full collective pitch swashplate as his bigger brothers have. Because of that, this lightweight full 3D capable and nearly indestructible.
Shipping:
This small one is shipped in a box that is nearly as big too send a 450 in it. Depending on the set you bought, everything that you need for flying is included.
My Setup:
Except of the longer tail my one is original. There are a lot of tuning parts, but they will be mainly for optical prupose only...
Build up:
There is no building, the mCP X V2 leaves hix box ready to fly, you only need to wait for the charging of the batterys.
I bought a suitcase on ebay that is normaly for nail design and filled it up with foam and cutted out the conturs to transport him very well packed. I can only receommend that, because you also protect him from dust.

Flight characteristics:
You shouldn't get cheated by his size and cute look, this one is lively like a bee on Red Bull. The power of the main rotor is sufficinet, of course it could be alsways more, but it is really ok. Nevertheless the tail isn't the strongest, I have changed it to the longer version which i only can recommend. It has more power and he is more stable now.
Even it is tempting to fly in the living room, you shouldn't. he becomes ay too fast very fast and if he crashed into something it really can get damaged. So get out on the fresh air, he really likes that and also some stronger wind isn't affecting him very much.
The mCP X makes a balancing act that not much other helicopters can do, he is suitable for the full professional also as for the beginner. Only bloody beginner should not touch him. He is so good for beginners, because he nearly take any damage away from a crash. If you make a mistake, just cut the throttle, pick him up from the gras and start again. With a 450, there would be many hours between "picking up" and "start again". A full professional can do full 3D and learn new tricks without stress, if something should happen, throttle cut, pick up, fly on.
