The Blade® mCX is an ultra micro-sized version of the Blade CX/CX2, offering first-time pilots the ability to learn how to fly with ease and experienced heli pilots the ability to fly anytime, anywhere indoors. The Blade mCX offers unsurpassed stability and incredible control through the coaxial, counter-rotating head design and Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM2™ 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 an office to a small bedroom or living room.
The Blade mCX comes 100% factory-assembled, flight-tested and ready to fly right out of the box—no assembly or setup required. Included in the box is the Li-Po battery and convenient AA battery-powered DC Li-Po charger, 4-channel transmitter equipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 technology, and 8 AA batteries (4 for the transmitter, 4 for the charger). The DSM2 technology offers freedom from frequency restrictions and allows the Blade mCX to be flown anywhere, anytime indoors with precise 4-channel control. Even though this is a micro helicopter the Blade mCX is also very durable.
When it comes to ultra-micro™ heli fun everyone can enjoy, you simply can’t beat the value and performance of the Blade mCX. It’s just another way E-flite is advancing electric flight.

RTF in the product name really means “Ready-To-Fly”. All you have to do is take it out of the box and charge the battery up to full. It’s not fast, but it isn’t supposed to be. One of the best features of this helicopter is the dual rate function of the remote. And the reason is it functions as a type of governor on the controls to allow you to get used to flying. By default the remote is set on a high rate, which means there is no governor. By pressing down on the right stick, the control speeds are cut in half, allowing for much easier control for the beginner flyer.
The most frustrating part is the battery. It takes approx. 20 min. to charge for a 6-8 min. flight time. We recommend buying a couple of extra batteries for this one.
