Is there an intermediate step between co-axial helis like the mcx2 and the cpx?

4 channel fixed pitch. Try the V911 off Amazon, $32 gets you a ready to fly shipped to your door.

I'm not familiar with the x5c but they work perfectly in the X4. So, if the heli are similar then the answer is yes for both.

I think a better option might be a 4-channel rather than a collective pitch copter like the Nano. 4-channel copters (like the v911) are stable in the air and if you release the cyclic, they will return to a hover on their own. A CP heli will not--they are not stable and will not hover by themselves for more than a second or two. They are very fast and they will shoot across the room (or into you) almost too fast to see at first. I'm not saying it can't be done, mind you...but expect to crash frequently and spend quite a bit of money on parts at first.

I would look at real flight or phoenix you don't really need the same model as collective pitch helicopter are similar exp fly bar and fly bar less. This is not a beginner helicopter it is better to start with a co ax and go from there. The p phoenix flight Sim is compatible with the same transmitter that all blade helicopters can use. You might want to look at the heli freak forums (goggle it) the members there are a fountain of knowledge and are willing to help any one.

I flew a s107 for a short time then moved up to the msrx ,there is a small learning curve,if you have patience it shouldn't be a problem. I have now moved on to the blade mcp x

The msrx is much quicker than the 120sr... definitely will entertain you and improve your reflexes. You could also consider a nano cpx, which is similarly quick and has the added benefits of a collective heli. I have a 120sr bnf, msrx rtf, and nano cpx bnf. I'm still practicing good coordinated turns, no inverted stuff yet, but I like the way the nano flys the best.

Mode 2 give you a higher throw rate. The heli is more responsive and responds more aggressively in mode 2. Try pitching the blade to the left or right all the way on the ground and then hit mode 2. You will notice the blade moves a hair farther. Hope that helps.

it takes a while to learn to fly. it moves very fast. it is much harder to fly than mcx2. have patience

Coaxial copters have two blades that rotate in oppisite directions. The yaw (turn) adjustment changes relative speed between these blades, making the heli rotate on its axis.. Flying forward would initiate a turn. The gyro onboard constantly adjusts blade speed to keep heli locked in the same position till you turn it with the controller. The rear small blade tips the heli to get forward or reverse motion.

No. This is a collective pitch helicopter. The most advanced and the hardest to fly and quite intimidating to a new pilot. 130x is on sale for 140 bucks. It's also a cp heli but much smaller and cheaper to fix and less intimidating but even this little one is more powerful than any fixed pitch I ever flew. If you're serious about the hobby, either one are great little helis but You will get better faster on the little 130 for the very reasons I mentioned above.

Micro 6 channel collective pitch helis are much more "twitchy" than a T-REX 500. You should do just fine, and will find flying larger helis EASIER than smaller helis. I find 500-class helis the best when it comes to weight vs. lift. I don't do any 3D flying (yet?), but am confident with sport flying and performing pirouettes.

In my opinion the mCX2 heli is worth every penny. The Symas are only 3 channel and the mCX2 is a 4 channel heli. The support and replacement parts availability on the Blade helicopters cannot be beat. If you want a toy, get a Syma, if you want a hobby grade helicopter to learn to fly and go on to bigger helis, spend the money and get the mCX2.

I do not Know the answer to your question. I have flown my MCX2 outside a couple of times and I can saythe distance of the remote control from the heli is more than adequate. Keep in mind that the MCX2 is a small heli and you must be able to clearly see its orientation to be able to fly it. I don't think you will bedisappointed in the range of the remote.

Yes this is harder to fly than any coaxial or "2 blade" as you called it helicopter. WAY more fun once you get the hang of it. Very durable so you hopefully won't need parts but if you do they are readily available online. I get mine through Amazon (flybar needed replaced)

Yes, it will be a difficult transition. First, the controls are different. The Syma has the rudder control on the right stick, while the Nano has it on the left. Second, the Syma is a fixed pitch coaxial bird that is designed to be super stable. The Nano is a collective pitch bird that is designed for acrobatics, and hence, much less stable. Plus, the Nano is really small and really fast and will get away from you easily. The recommended transition is from coaxial to fixed pitch to collective pitch. So, a better option for you is to go with the fixed pitch Blade mSRX.

I have been hand launching plane. It's way cooler. I agree with Kevin though, if you have been flying micros, this is a step backwards, this plane does not have ailerons.

If the helicopter has two blades it is a co axial helicopter. To awnswer your question it is not different.
