review date: April 20, 2013
single rotor flybarless CP micro heli with AS3X 3 axis gyro
brushless main motor, shaft driven tail.
7.4V300mAh battery.
2.4GHz system, Spektrum DSM2/DSMX compatible.
bigger than mCPX/ mCPX BL. better for outdoor flight.
very stable, easy to hover, easy to cruise around, easy to flip and easy to hover inverted.
Sooner or later, you will be bothered with the wobbling.
the tail grip is not so robust.
You will be forced to buy a lot of upgrades: DS35, the metal tail case, the metal swash and so on.
*highly recommended, must-have:
-Miracle Mart: DS35 servo for tail
-Microheli: Aluminum DS35 Tail Servo Mount w/ Cable
-Microheli: Double Bearing Weighted Tail Blade Grip set - BLADE 130X
-Microheli: Titanium Swashplate w/ Anti-Rotation Guide combo
*the following will also improve the performance of your 130X:
-Microheli: Precision CNC Aluminum Main Rotor Hub w/ Button - BLADE 130X
-Microheli: CNC Blade 130 X Tail Power package - BLADE 130X
-Miracle Mart: 130X Gear Pack (AEO-130X02)
-Lynx: 130 X - Motor Heat Sinks
-O rings and more: Silicone o-rings Size 003
If you do not mind extra expenses for the optional parts, 130X is very nice heli. I purchased my first 130X in July 2012 and another one in August 2012. Now these are my most favorite helis.
