There is no question about that. I received my first RC helicopter for Christmas (2012), the V911. The V911 is a 4-channel flybar single-blade heli that to me is the perfect first helicopter for anybody who is not a young child. After only a few weeks I decided that I wanted to step up to a flybarless hobby-grade heli and that's when I chose this little beast.I agree with some of the other reviewers that the Nano CPx is incredibly fun. I, however, disagree with the claims that it is indestructible. I actually wouldn't even consider it very durable. It is moderately durable at best, though I am only able to compare it to my $40 V911, which IS nearly indestructible without considering the rotor blades. I am somewhat of a beginner with flybarless single-blade collective pitch helis and so I started slowly. During my hovering practice sessions I had a few minor accidents. After about 10 flights here is my damage report:- Cracked fuselage- Broken landing skids (these are way too delicate)- Cracked tail boom (this subsequently snapped during a more aggressive crash, but it was cracked from my hovering practice)As I mentioned, they were not very hard crashes and I hit the throttle hold before I ever made contact with anything. I was surprised to see that the Nano CPx took so much damage and now I have to wait for my replacement tail boom and skids. The damage is most surprising considering that I have literally slammed my V911 into the wall on several occasions. The reason I fly it more aggressively is because the rotor is not nearly as lethal as that of the Nano and I am much better/confident with flying a flybar heli.Overall, the Nano is incredibly fun and much more challenging than the V911, and so I love it. I just wish it lived up to the reputation of durability that preceded it. If you purchase this, which you should cause it's awesome, just be prepared with spare parts and expect to need them. I plan on upgrading the landing skids to aftermarket so I won't have to keep replacing them. As far as the tail boom, I hope future parts show more durability.4/10/2013 UPDATE:I have become a much better pilot in the last few months and I don't crash nearly as much as I used to. Even with the few crashes here is a rundown of what I've had to replace in the last 3-4 months:Landing skids x 3Fuselage x 1Swash plate x1Body frame x 1Tail boom x 3 (though 1 was new and was because the neighbor's dog pawed it)Motor (this seems to be shorting out and I think it's time to replace it with another stock motor or upgrade it to brushless)I replaced the stock tailboom with a solid carbon fiber rod and I wrapped the wiring around it from the stock tail motor. Since I did this I have not broken the boom. These are available on ebay and I HIGHLY recommend this. After I broke another tail boom I just completely tore it apart and took the wiring and motor out of it, I bought a Microheli tail motor mount and then attached that solid boom, the motor and mount and it is now very durable.I am planning on getting an upgrade for the landing skids because they have broken again and I'm tired of replacing them. I have found several online that seem to be more durable. Overall I love this heli but I think it'll be better once I get some better parts for it so I don't have to constantly replace things. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Learning Full Collective Helicopter Ever *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 11, 2014* Please be aware that learning to fly a helicopter like this is going to be difficult and frustrating. You may be able to do magic with your fixed pitch helicopter but that experience has more negatives associated with learning to fly a full collective helicopter and very little in the way of positives.My first piece of advice is to not look a helicopters just yet and purchase the Phoenix R/C Pro Simulator Version 5.0 (As a note, I purchased this back at version 3 and I have never had to pay for an upgrade or for models. Hats off to the developers for that.) and a Spektrum DX6i Transmitter Only MD2. Obviously since you now own a very good radio, I recommend the BNF version when you do get the helicopter. BNF stands for Bind N Fly and includes everything except the radio. RTF stands for Ready to Fly and comes with everything you need to fly. However, the radio is no where near capable as the DX6i and you are just wasting your money on it.Put your time in practicing how to hover in all aspects with the Blade Nano before purchasing this helicopter. Otherwise you will be tempted to fly this which will most likely end in a crash.Now the good news with the Blade Nano CP is that does not necessarily mean you will need to rebuild your aircraft and this is why I recommend this helicopter for learning how to fly a helicopter. I learned on the Blade mCP X and while that was a very good helicopter to learn on it was bigger which makes it more prone to damage and it had tail blow outs which this helicopter does not, Before the Blade mCP X, I tried twice to learn to fly RC helis and both times I came away exceedingly frustrated and much poorer for the attempt (Hirobo Shuttle and Align T-Rex). There are 3 main reasons I recommend the Nano CP. The first is the lack of a stab bar. The electronics which replace the stab bar actually make it more stable then it has any right to be. The second and most important is listed above. The lack of damage from a crash is huge. You can get right back up and continue learning. The 3rd reason is even if there is damage it is not very expensive to repair. All of these 3 reasons have made my 3rd attempt successful.The Nano CP is a joy to fly. It is incredibly nimble and powerful. In some ways it exceeds its bigger brethren. However, it is definitely not a replacement for them.So going back to the sim. First off set the DX6i up using the 3D setting for the Nano CP (As of right now, the actual aircraft requires collective reversing for the DX6i while the sim doesn't. Don't let this catch you out). Set the F Mode (flight mode) to Sport mode so the throttle is disconnected from the collective and is set at 100%. Start out by learning how to hover with the nose out. Then learn nose left and right. Then learn nose in. After you have done all of that. Learn upside down nose in. Then left, right, and nose out. Practice this 30 min a day everyday and you should have it very shortly. There are a couple of things to know about helos especially for hovering. Because the helicopter is dynamically unstable, everything takes three control movements. The first is to either stop or start something. The second movement is cancel that input by putting in an opposite input. The third movement is to neutralize the controls. When you start out you are put in way to much 2nd movement and you are going to miss the center. This is going to lead to huge over controlling. Get this under control in the sim.Now when you start flying your helo don't try your toughest hovering trick right off the bat. The sim is good but it is not perfect. Go through the sequence for the sim and once you have each mastered then move on. Another thing. The instructions say to not touch the right stick until you have the bird in the air. That is semi-good advice. If you look down and see the blade arc is not straight to the ground the helo is going to do something funky when it comes off the ground. Use the right stick to level the blade arc. Also, use the left stick to stop the helo spinning while it is on the ground. Then as the bird comes off the ground if it is moving in one direction of the other fix that.One thing to know about learning to fly a RC heli is you are going to crash. The most important thing to learn about this heli is when you are about to crash into something make sure you click your throttle hold switch which should immediately cut power to the rotors. Fight your instinct to slam the collective down as this will cause some nasty crashes. If you are able to cut the power before hitting anything, then damage to the heli will be minimal to none. Here are some things I have learned and some recommended spares.1) If you have any power still driving the rotors when they hit something, this will push the main gear down the main shaft. When you look are checking your helo make sure the main shaft cannot move up and down. If it can, push up on the main gear and push down and twist on the rotor head until there is no play. So far no trouble with the main shaft but I would have an extra main gear floating around.2) If it drives the gear down too far it can crack the landing skids. You can use super glue to put it back together but it is helpful to have a couple of skids on hand also.3) You are going to lose the rotor head pitch change links. There are 2 things you can do. First off, get the aluminum rotor head. This has a closed cage to hold those little buggers. You will lose less of them. Second, buy the rotor head linkage set.4) My first set of blades got pretty well beat up. They still worked fine but did not track as well as they should have.5) I have not had any problems with the feathering spindle, but if you have a bad crash with power on, you can be sure that bad johnny will bend. Get the titanium one and have a couple of spares.6) The parts are tiny. Get yourself one of those lit magnifying glasses or a strong pair of reading glasses so you can see the parts.7 Two batteries is nowhere near enough. Get yourself these Lightning Power Li-po 300mAh 3.7V 1S 35C for mCPx (4) battereis. These batteries or 300 mAh instead of 2oo and they are 35C instead of 25C so they last longer and give better response. Six batteries is good and is enough for 24 min of practice.The mCP X was revolutionary. Never before had some much capability been available in such a small package. The Nano is a welcome evolution on the mCP X. While not bullet proof, this bird can survive quite a few wrecks without damage. Almost any 450 crash is going to set you back a significant amount of money. If you're not crashing, you're not learning because you are not pushing your boundaries. That is oversimplified but not by much. Practice in the sim and then push your boundaries in real life. If you have a good instructor, then that person can help you progress without so many crashes. Now some of you may be wondering about starting with the Blade mSR. My recommendation is not to. I own the mSR and it is a blasts. However, it taught me bad habits I had to unlearn on this bird. Start with the sim and then get this.Pros:Amazing capabilities in a tiny packageCan come through certain crashes without damageCheap to repair after a crashPowerful and fastPriceNo stab bar(more stable, can't bend in a crash)ConsNoneIf you want to learn how to fly RC Helicopters, get the sim and then get this helo. It is the best training heli that I have found.Warning: If you don't know what you are doing with this you can seriously injure yourself or others. Practice in the sim. Practice in an open space with no one else around. If the helicopter is coming toward you and you can't stop it hit the throttle cut or just kill the bird (dump the collective These blades could easily blind you if they hit you in your face. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best indoor cp heli *by T***K on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on February 1, 2014* Not a huge fan of AS3X stabilization - it is great idea, but it is old and is overdue some refinement. The MSRX was a poor implementation that Blade should never sold. The MCPX vibrates and was too big for indoors. The Nano is small and flys mostly like a cp heli should, like a MCPX, but I was able to get it tamer with my radio. There are minor AS3X issues like increasing throttle or left rudder causing it to start going backwards. The left rudder isn't near as bad as the MSRX, but the throttle is as bad.2 points:1. This is not for a beginner, or even for someone just coming off a coax. Get a MSR first. Even tamed down, the Nano will get away from you easily.2. If you are considering this heli, you should already have a programmable TX like a DX6I. Do NOT even consider the RTF version. The MSR RTF comes with a TX that is junk, and this one would be even worse given how fast this bird is.2 complaints:1. minor tail twitch, which is annoying but doesn't affect flight. A common complaint in the forums.2. Both sets of main blades were really out of balance. It would vibrate badly when spooling up or down (worse). I had to use a magnetic blade balancer (see my other reviews) to fix this. This is my 4th blade heli, and I've not had this problem with the other 3.I sport fly. I have no interest in doing acrobatics indoors. I look for precise banked turns and spot on landings. The only thing I hate more than crashing is troubleshooting a messed up heli, it cuts into my flying time. I've crashed this heli several times, mostly from hitting throttle hold when realizing I lost control. No damage yet.This heli flies like I want with the right TX settings. There are lots of online forums on how to tame this down for a CP newbie. If someone wants my settings, I'll post them. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2318392-blade-nano-cp-x-bnf-transmitter-not-included](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2318392-blade-nano-cp-x-bnf-transmitter-not-included) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
