Charge time is about 20-minutes depending on the status of the AA's in the charger. Flight time is between 6-10 minutes depending on how much throttle used. You can bind the mCX's radio to the Sukhoi but it's not recommended.
It's actually pretty comfortable. Plus if you want to use a different Spektrum transmitter you can...just get a Bind-N-Fly (EFLH2280) and you can bind it to any air DSM2 transmitter or module.
Just took mine off from storage for many years. It only needed to rebind to the original TX. With a new battery, it flies really well just like when it was new. A good testament to the high-quality E-flite has.
We've flown them with both the standard TX and the DX6i. The DX6i will provide a little finer adjustments in terms of trims but they both perform about the same.
Not true. However one thing that some people may overlook is that, when you plug the battery in, leave the heli sit flat on your bench or table so that the gyro can calibrate itself properly.
Is it bind-able to any four channel controller? How about the transmitter that comes with the ParkZone Thyphoon 3D? It's a fully proportional 4-channel radio system.
I went to Hobbyco in the CBD and some kid who looked like he was dreaming of shaving basically treated me like a leper. They didn't have ANY mode 2 support anywhere in the shop. I'm just getting into RC from a 2ch Havoc to a well-wicked 3ch and now want to leap to four. But I refuse to pay $300+ for a radio and another $200 for the mCX just to be able to fly around the house like a normal person. I don't think I'll have to if I find the right hobby shop. Can you recommend any in Sydney ?
i got mine and it was amazing .......for about a month.then it started glitching up and it unbinded with my radio and it won't bind back again? i have no idea what to do. :(
In one video, the author stated that you have to re-trim the mCX EVERY time you insert a new battery?!?!?! is this true? if so, that's disappointing. :(

Just ordered my mcx :) can't wait to see what a brilliant job you've done.

With the Sukhoi you're really going to want something that is more precise and programmable. The DX6i is what we recommend.
Yup, it works very well with the 5e in fact.
Yes, it works very well with the DX5e
@gmikebrittain You're welcome Mike, glad we could help.
I'd suggest giving Product Support a call
About a 20-25 minute charge time, 8-12 minute flight time depending on how you fly.
Did you just break the ball? If so you can rotate it around to the other side of the rotor and use the other ball in the interrum
@theneedforspeed100 You should not have to re-bind before every flight. I would contact product support.
Very descriptive =] I just got a blade mcx and after seeing this video i feel alot better about first trying it out much much thanks
It needs to be a DSM2 based radio system.
About the only different body I know of is to install the S300 body on it.
@goodnhammerd That's only for the BNF version

When is it going to be available???
What is the range on this little thing? I hope it's about 200 ft if not more.
Could you bind the heli to the spektrum dx5e radio?
damn! wish i work at the horizon office place...

i have no idea what to do. :(
Is there any body mods avialable from E-flite for it?
My mcx twists the more throttle i give it and iv trimmed it all the way both waus all the way..i have onky had it for 5 hours??
mcx is the way to go

@gmikebrittain Feel free to e-mail us at Editors@horizonrc and we'll see if we can help.
can i bind it to my dx5e radio?
whenever I re-charge my battery i have to re-trim my rudder control even after i let the gyro calibrate itself.
can this lift a little camera about 19 gram?
Wow!
@grandviewguy18 yes you do its not that bad
hmmm the only thing i dont like about this is the transmitter design.. it looks too... gamerish controller... kinda i like the spektrum design..
i tried that and they put me onhold for an hour
$129 ready to fly, $99 bind and fly
hi Jim mess you man
yeah its pretty cheap for a helicopter this special
