Blade 130X

review date: April 20, 2013

summary:

single rotor flybarless CP micro heli with AS3X 3 axis gyro
brushless main motor, shaft driven tail.
7.4V300mAh battery.
2.4GHz system, Spektrum DSM2/DSMX compatible.

strengths:

bigger than mCPX/ mCPX BL. better for outdoor flight.
very stable, easy to hover, easy to cruise around, easy to flip and easy to hover inverted.

weaknesses:

Sooner or later, you will be bothered with the wobbling.
the tail grip is not so robust.
You will be forced to buy a lot of upgrades: DS35, the metal tail case, the metal swash and so on.

upgrades:

*highly recommended, must-have:

-Miracle Mart: DS35 servo for tail

-Microheli: Aluminum DS35 Tail Servo Mount w/ Cable

-Microheli: Double Bearing Weighted Tail Blade Grip set - BLADE 130X

-Microheli: Titanium Swashplate w/ Anti-Rotation Guide combo

*the following will also improve the performance of your 130X:

-Microheli: Precision CNC Aluminum Main Rotor Hub w/ Button - BLADE 130X

-Microheli: CNC Blade 130 X Tail Power package - BLADE 130X

-Miracle Mart: 130X Gear Pack (AEO-130X02)

-Lynx: 130 X - Motor Heat Sinks

-O rings and more: Silicone o-rings Size 003

conclusion:

If you do not mind extra expenses for the optional parts, 130X is very nice heli. I purchased my first 130X in July 2012 and another one in August 2012. Now these are my most favorite helis.
