Blade MCPX

E-flite say their new baby is the lightest, flybarless machine in its class. It's for intermediate and advanced pilots and for anyone seeking a model that'll give them the confidence to master indoor aerobatics at comparatively low cost. E-flite say that the flybarless system means less drag and more power at the main rotor head and so longer flight times.

It's supplied RTF with a built-in Spektrum based receiver, gyro and ESC and flies using a 1S 200mAh 25C Li-Po cell for which two are included.
