Unused MVP2 gets new lease on life

[twall]

Hi, everyone.

Since getting into mechs and drippers, my MVP has sat unused for about a month now (and all the tanks I used to use on it). I felt bad, because it has always been such an awesome reliable device. It just doesn't have the guts to run what I like vaping now.

Just got back into flying micro R/C helis, and don't like using my controller to charge my Syma 110G. Kills the batteries too fast.



Two problems solved. I can easily charge my chopper 8 times before needing to recharge the MVP. If you're into these little things like I am, this is just what the doctor ordered.

+1 for ingenuity!

The portability is also a big plus. I can throw it in my pocket, and have enough power to have fun in places where an outlet or USB port are not readily available!

That's great! Any plans to make the jump to collective pitch helis? Not sure if the MCPX is still considered a great starter CP heli. I had a blast with mine, tho. Sometimes I still do. Such a great little toy.

... can't wait for the season to start up here.

My friend at work just sold me his Horizon Blade MSR. Getting the charger and extra stuff tomorrow. After the initial 8 minute charge, I have a lot of learning to do.

Will probably get a Blade 120 in the spring. The size of the 110 is perfect for my tight living space. Amazingly stable. Love it. I learned in 2011 on a Syma 107, and love Syma products. Can't wait to get started on the Blade.

It's a fixed-pitch single rotor heli with a flybar. Supposed to be a good way to introduce we noobs to real helicopters. After I get good and comfortable with the MSR, I'll likely go for the full CP Blade Nano. The local hobby shop has all sorts of parts and repair knowhow for the Blade machines.

The Blade's hood photobombed the pic.

Totally forgot about the Nano. I was looking at upgrading size around the time it was released.

Taking the CP plunge may be daunting, but well worth it. I actually skipped the FP helis and started out with a Sim. Of course I couldn't help firing up my MCPX and crashing it before I was ready. Good thing is... they can take a decent beating.

That's another great thing about the Syma stuff. You can fwap it into the refrigerator, wall, and television many a time before you break anything important. Including the heli.

Full CP is in my future. I'm going to take the established path, though. Gonna cut my teeth on the FP. Since I just bought it and all. LOL

Still like my little coax. Yeah, it's a noob heli, but flying it in here keeps me sharp, and knocked off a lot of rust. Been a couple of years since I touched an R/C at all.

But, back to the point, the MVP makes a perfect charger for the fixed - battery type helis.

Curious did that come from radioshacks? Because it looks like one we sell! Haha

The threads on my MVP2 got stripped one day when the dog knocked it off the table with her tail. All I had at the time was an iTaste vv3 so I used to carry the MVP with me to charge the vv3 off of lol.
