Wait to see the video.

It is smaller than the MCPX and seems to be as powerful as the 130X.

I can't even roll an MCPX inverted in my garage but I believe I'll be able to piro flip this one in the bathroom.

The video is impressive and even has the guy doing aileron tic tocs over the coffee table a couple feet from his face.

LOL I finally watched the video and had trouble getting over the over used audio loop they had running in the background over and over and over again.


I used that loop in a very short intro sequence that I made a decade ago, but I only let it run ONCE.

BTW that was my Ski Nautique firing up at the beginning

To be clear the nano looks impressive, but I just have to wonder if they they just have a guy there who throws these things together.

micro CPX... nano CPX... Don't waste your money guys. Just wait for the pico CPX. It'll only cost $75, fit in your shirt pocket, will run on a $0.75 1S 10mAH battery, and you'll be able to do big air, sport flying... in your living room! Zoom across the room and pull up into a big air, 540 degree stall-turn! Just don't lose it in the deep pile carpetting.

I'm waiting for the solara CPX that has little solar cells in the blades and charges while you fly it so you have no limits to your flight time

Well....the videos put out on the mCPx 18 or so months ago were pretty impressive also-this one just to give one example:

Hmmm.....the flying style in the above promo sure looks a lot like the style in the new Blade Nano profile.

Blade Nano looks like a great helicopter. I'll buy one. But let's face it...for the average user I don't see much difference between watching a Blade Promo and watching a Porn Flick.

Edit: I'd like to nominate Brian James for "Porn King, micro RC helicopter division"

My stock MCPX would do everything in that video. It's all slow smooth 3D with very little collective used.
It's a true representation.
Guess what though?...It didn't do any fast tic tocs in the video because it's not capable.

The nano does fast tic tocs in the video.

There's nothing in that promo you linked that isn't fact.
If YOU can't do it,that's a different topic...The heli can.

Watch both videos again.

....and thus my Porn Flick analogy....

Oh, well....I guess my attempts at humor are lost on McKrackin.

I should have listened to my oldest daughter, "Daddy, you are NOT funny...so don't even try to be....and mommy, YOU aren't either."

[Epoweredrc]

There's nothing in a porn flick you can't do either

That is indeed very small! I think I'll have to make another cutout in my bird case.

[McKrackin]

You already have the cut out zeke.

Toss the MSR

I'm no good at inverted, my stick movements all all backwards:what:

I like nano.

mCP X was a great trainer but after BL mod it was too powerful and too fast to try 3D at home. I like to fly it in the backyard.

I did my first inverted hover with mCP X even if I was flying 450 longer.

It looks like nano would be great for dark and cold winter evenings. I love to fly at home with mSR. I was going to buy mSR X. Now I will wait for nano.

Definitely 600 700 or 800 class is easier to fly. But fun factor is ok for nano.

I suppose it will be more crash resistant than mCP X. We shall see...

I like DX4 because it is good enough for mCP X. I do not want to go Spectrum for big helis. That is why 130X was not ineresting for me. nano is.

[irishmatt18]

Any idea when it will be released?

[branflake]

On the boats now, late this month in the LHS. per David E from Horizon (thread in the mcpx section)

[irishmatt18]

So around Christmas after all the delays...

[branflake]

i dont know, i think they changed how the releases are going. I think this one was supposed to be secret still. Most of the 130x delay was between china and the boats. David says they are all produced and on the water, so that just leaves US customs in the way i think? Im hopeful/dreadful about having one/explaining it the wife.


Preorder at ampdraw is up

[NSFlyer12]

Looks awesome. Will have to pick up one for indoor winter flying!

[TonyTypeS]

James sure made it looked like it flies very good. My MCPX was pretty weak compared to the others I have seen so I ended up upgrading to brushless. I'm a sucker for the small stuff so I'll prob end up getting the Nano too

[bstanley72]

Just placed an order for one with Ampdraw, $138 (BNF) with shipping!
