anyone still fly RC Helicopters?

We have been talking about getting a heli or quadcopter for my office. I have lots of rc car experience racing and building. How is the nano CPx skill wise?

the nCPx I would say has a lower entry skill level to actually fly than a larger bird would.

If you are familiar with a computer radio and can program the travel and expo down then you have a good start. If you do some reading and begin to understand throttle and pitch curves then you can tame it down even more.

I'm working on an indoor setup and an outdoor setup which is basically an easy going and an aggressive setup. It's tied to the pitch and throttle curves mainly and between the 3 of these xCPx models I am pretty much using the same model setup in my radio (Spektrum DX8) just copied to different memory slots. Then they are tweaked a little for each one based on the power from the main motor basically.

the BL is way powerful and I am to the point where I don't really recomment it.

The mCPX and the nCPx though I'm more inclined to recommend.

Personally I would start with the mSR fixed pitch, progress to the mSRx flybarless model and then look at the nCPx.

Thanks! I'll take a look at the msr.

Bear in mind that my opinion is that the mSR is a great place to start but it isn't a great flying helicopter overall. The mSRx though is WAY better but a terrible place to start.
