When they were first released in 2005, the original E-flite Blade series CP and CX helicopters took the market by storm. They made it more affordable, easier, and practical for more people to enjoy flying RC helicopters than ever before! The Blade® mCX was the world’s first ultra-micro sized coaxial (CX) heli and more people learned to fly with it than any other model – ever. Weighing in at only one ounce it can be flown almost anywhere indoors, and due to the incredible stability of the coaxial and counter-rotating rotor head design, it can be flown by nearly anyone. This Special Edition release celebrates the 20th anniversary of Blade along with the 40th anniversary of Horizon Hobby! It’s available in two versions including a convenient all-in-one-box RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version that includes a Spektrum transmitter, battery, and charger. Or in a BNF (Bind-N-Fly®) Basic version that allows you to use your choice of a compatible Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter, battery, and charger. The optional glow-in-the-dark parts plus the body set with lights from the mCX2 are also available again!
When it comes to ultra-micro helicopter fun everyone can enjoy, you simply can’t beat the Blade® mCX! More people owned and enjoyed flying the original than any other RC heli ever, and now it’s back in a Special Edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Blade (est. 2005) and the 40th anniversary of Horizon Hobby (est. 1985).
The Blade® mCX is an ultra micro-sized version of the Blade CX/CX2 that makes it easy for first-time pilots to learn to fly successfully and gives experienced heli pilots the ability to fly anytime and anywhere indoors. It features excellent stability thanks to the coaxial, counter-rotating head design along with reliable Spektrum 2.4GHz control. And, thanks to its rotor span of just 7.5 inches and one-ounce flying weight, the Blade mCX can be flown indoors almost anywhere—from a small bedroom to a living room, in an office, gymnasium, and beyond.
It arrives 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested, and ready to fly right out of the box—no assembly or setup required. The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) version includes everything needed to fly in one box and is a perfect choice for first-time to experienced pilots looking for maximum convenience and value. From the Spektrum MLP4DSM 2.4GHz transmitter to the 1S 150mAh LiPo battery and a convenient USB charger that can be used with a variety of power sources, there's nothing extra you need to buy or provide! A BNF Basic version is also available for pilots who want to use their favorite Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter along with batteries and chargers they may already own.
Both versions are extremely durable so they’re tough enough to handle most crashes and keep on flying. But if you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available. Extra batteries along with optional glow-in-the-dark parts, a red canopy and fin, plus the “full” body set with lights from the mCX2 are also available separately!
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, and fly!
The coaxial, counter-rotating blade design helps provide maximum stability and maneuverability that will have even beginners hovering like a pro in no time.
Ultra-micro sized to fly almost anywhere indoors from living rooms to offices, in bedrooms, garages, and beyond
The lightweight yet durable airframe is tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And if you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
The mCX arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box. That means you can be flying in just the time it takes to charge a battery!
A variety of glow-in-the-dark parts, a red canopy and fin, plus the “full” body set with lights from the mCX2 are available options so you can customize and personalize your model.
