I have had quite a few issues with mine
I was up with insomnia again, so I spent a lot of time looking at issue
If I did not have one, on first impressions, I would not buy one just now!! WAIT TILL THE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED
Many issues posted on other sites,inclusing damage straight out of box!!
Mine so far:
1. Canopy cracked on delivery(Align sending a new one).
2. Main board sitting squint.
3. Setting in manual are different to use: I had to keep pitch neutral and not reversed as in the manual.
4. After several attempts to bind, LED sequence is wrong?
5. There is an issue with the electrics, the bird is dead on start up until I wiggle the main board.
6. Main blades discoloured?
THIS BIRD IS GOING BACK FOR A REPLACEMENT OR REFUND!!
SHOULD HAVE SPENT THE MONEY ON A NEW TX DX9????
Reading the other forums there are major issues with this. The canopy is poorly done
This whole thing feels as if it has been rushed!!
It will be interesting to see Cameron's today??
And some more: comments taken from another flyer with over 100 flights!!
I now have over 100 flights on 2 Trex 150's. I bought them from my local hobbyshop last week.
I have 3 crashes so far. None were my fault. Mechanical stuff on the little beast. Here is what I know.
1.Aluminum Main Shaft seems to bend easily. Be ready to either straighten it or replace.
2.Landing gear always breaks the rear tab that holds it into the frame...seems fragile. Can be fixed after breaking with a 2 mm carbon rod and superglue and drilling.
3.Blades seem to crack or completely break the ends off easily upon impact.
4.Servo wires are very close to spinning motor. Will cut the servo wires easily. Hard to solder tiny wires but can be done
5.Tail motor housing tends to crack without even crashing. Be ready with to superglue the motor in the housing when it cracks or the tail motor will come OUT WHILE FLYING....Not fun. New housing comes with tail boom crash kit but no way to thread wire through the boom with the connector on the end....
I have had all the above happen to me several times.
Overall to me it is much more fragile than the Blade MCPX BL.
BUT it flys so much better!!!!!!! The tail hold is awesome and the flybarless board makes it fly like a larger heli. The flybarless controler is fantastic.
My only complaint is the flip rate is slower than the MCPX BL. But I can live with that. My BL can be flipped in a 18" Box....
Would I buy this heli again.....Hell Yes!!!
Would I recommend it to you....I don't know. You decide.
All I know is I'm having fun with it regardless of my issues
