Does anyone have a copterX 450. If so how do you like it?

reports are they are all good!! The first lots had some issue with the tail some say... but that was fitting the tail to the blade and any other tail issues have been sorted. I would recommend them - have seen them in the flesh.

I have one, well, the black angel one. The thing that annoys me is the metal is soft. I'm not an expert at metal strength but a very mild crash bends your main shaft (which is solid, not even hollow) and twists your flybar like a pretzel.. then removing the flybar requires multiple dremel cuts and pliers because the bar is so notched nothing slides anymore. Even the flybar weights can make dents in the metal parts it butts up against. On the other hand it flies great hasn't much slop and the the parts are economical. Everything is really easy to service except the jesus bolt which is called that because I swear every time I have to install it.

The mainshaft and feathershaft interchange with T-rex. If they were harder they would still bend in a crash just not as much.Then you wonder if it is bent or not when trying to find a vibration. Then you finally replace it even though it doesn't look bent and vibration goes with it.If they were harder you would break more expensive parts of the head or frame. You can get the harder ones .If you crash occasionally like I do I found the softer ones don't take as many parts with them when you crash. jmo.
