Mcpx BL2 with MicroHeli fuselage

First time using head mount GoPro hopefully flight on Trex 550 soon. Microheli main shaft, head, and blades. I don’t recommend carbon parts they snap to easy. The plastic flexes saving the parts. Aluminium parts have been great. Blade mcxp bl2

Notice any difference with the upgrades?

What's the flight times

[@TheToymanbb]

Awesome flying, seeing the new Microheli shell on your bird got me to buy one for mine, does the tail shell give it more strength than stock form or does it cause more problems knowing you have some good flight time and some crashes with it now.

[@Zac6361]

TheToymanbb it’s very strong though I don’t think it increases durability since the it sits on the tail rod. So the carbon rod or frame are still week point. Worth the extra visibility.

[@TheToymanbb]

@@Zac6361 it looks a lot more visible, I do like the Microheli bodies, swashes, grips, shafts and one way main gear sets. I've got like 100-150 flights on mine now and just replaced the stock frame and third tail boom. Nice bird to fly in the house and outside even in a small yard. I liked it so much I bought 2 more for backup

[@TheToymanbb]

How's your Microheli body holding up? Mine after almost a month is doing good except for the tail has taken some hits but that's just me taking chances in my house, chipping paint and some cracking so my fix is flexible colored dance floor tape, works great and adds some protection.

[@Zac6361]

TheToymanbb not bad same here I had the tail come out on a crash and hit the blades making a chip. I made a custom way the attach the canopy I’ll have to make a video showing it. It helps make taking it on and off easier. Do you ever have trouble with the main board resetting continually before takeoff? Mine keeps doing this. Fell out of the ski once even. Maybe the battery is bad or something.

[@TheToymanbb]

@@Zac6361 I did use some good clear tape to attach the back of the main body to where it meets the tail and that makes it a lot more rigid and very simple to do without adding weight.
Yes my original board started doing that then it would have trouble binding with the transmitter and Horizon replaced it under warranty and I used the bad board until I crashed it blowing out the tail FET or tail motor then I had to choice but to swap it out and my second board has had no issues with well over 200 packs on it. I've noticed I've had to resolder wires out of 3 of my batterys at the plug because it wouldn't make contact and keep resetting the board. Check the wires for one that have worn out and broken connection.

[@TheToymanbb]

If you pull lightly one each of the 3 individual wires behind the plug you'll notice that one of them will have some stretch to it indicating the bad connection.

[@TheToymanbb]

I've had other small issues with it like the servo shakes but my fix is a small shot of break cleaner in the servo where the brushes and contacts are. That fixes it instantly without taking anything apart and lasts for hours of flight time.
The other small issue I've had is sometimes when flying in my house I'll fly in stability mode because of small spaces and sometimes the gyros go nuts for a minute then it fixes itself and it happens out of the blue for no reason then it works great for hours then goes through the gyro hissy phase again.

Carbon or titanium MH main shaft?

[@Zac6361]

CurazyHeart this was carbon. I did break a carbon one after the electronics failed and feel out of sky. Not sure the titanium would have done better.

[@curazyheart7143]

@@Zac6361 Board failure?

[@Zac6361]

CurazyHeart my board keeps resetting randomly another follower recommended checking the electric connections so I need to do that. Actually this is the second board that I’ve had the problem. I need to get the mcpx back flying again. Been flying the 550 lately.
