E-flite Blade mCX2 RTF Review – The Best Rc Helicopter in 2023
The Blade E-flite mCX2 RTF RC Helicopter is less of a toy and more of a first step into a serious hobby. Great handling and a quality build, with a price to match, set this little helicopter apart from its cheaper and less powerful counterparts. We put it to the test to see if it justifies its higher price.
The mCX2 helicopter is made of lightweight, flexible plastic. The sleek body is split down the middle, allowing the two halves to be replaced independently. Experienced hobbyists can even replace the tail with a lightweight carbon fiber tail boom for even finer control, but the average user will not see any benefit from this. The coaxial rotors make the helicopter stable for indoor use, but it will not cope with windy outdoor conditions.
The mCX2 “RTF” means ready-to-fly, and that is certainly the case. Batteries for the transmitter and charger are included. The transmitter is automatically set to the high-rate control mode, allowing the user to utilize the full extent of each control option. The low-rate or RTF control mode will make control a little easier for beginners.
