Hiya Gaba

You've never flown a heli but want to get straight into piro flips... Lol, when you do that let me know mate because I'm a useless pilot...lol, and don't forget to do videos, they speak a thousand words..

Happy flying bud, bet your really a skilled pilot

Hahahahah hey... I am impressed for real this time with the blade money pit. Right out the box the thing rocks!!!!! Can hold tic tocs and backwards hurricanes like a 700!! I need to progress in my flying .. So wanted a beater. Too scared to beat my 700's and that's all I have now 3 700's and a 180cfx

I wish I cool do full piro flips lol. I am still stuck at half since last year. Haven't flown much so haven't progressed much. :(

Nah the Rex 150 while impressive in power still had a motor driven tail that never held up to high power hurricanes and such. Sold it .. Good riddance . Blade 180 is priced same or lower than mcpx BL.. Lmao.. And parts are cheap enough too. :) and the best thing is fully customizable. Whatever motor / esc / gyro you eant , you can change out . :) but amazing power out the box :) .. Ofcourse there were small gripes here and there about small things that were overcome.

Travel happened a lot this last two months . Canada, panama and Nicaragua. Next month to Brazil. :) so I am making the most of my time trying to fly when I can. As I didn't have time to even take care of my birds , I went to a fun fly three weeks ago, and none of my birds wanted to fly.. Depressing lol. So I am getting back in

Welcome, Gaba! I'm seriously looking at that 180 too. Looked like it was solid in the preview vids. Hows it hold up to crashes? They emphasized how much beefier the tail is on this compared to the 130. Looking to pick one up and ditch my 120SR, ncpx and mcpxbl.

Awesome to have you here Gaba. Sounds like a decent beater for sure. I was going to fix my 130X but I might go another way.

I bought one to but returned it the same day. On mine the tail had an annoying twitch that seem to be pretty common from what I have read. I figured I'd wait until they get the kinks out before progressing further. But my first impression was yes the little think rocks. You can do tik toks no sweat. Interested to hear how the thing holds up in a crash. I sold all my micro stuff and all I have now is a 700,550,450,300.
