I was just wondering if someone could let me know where I can purchase one of these helicopters?

3 Channel co-axial chopper: throttle, rudder and forward/reverse.

No cyclic control, hence no banking l/r, but otherwise very manoeuvrable.

Travel backwards and forwards is courtesy of a little tail rotor mounted horizontally that pitches the nose up or down as desired.

I just took a closer look at the MCX pics - man that's the smallest swash plate (foe cyclic control) I've ever seen on a working chopper!

Is it 4 channel or 3? I like the MCX because it has rudder control as well as the other three channels. You want some Xtreme blades for your Lama. I couldn't break mine.

Have you tried the Mosquito?

My daughter has one of these.

An absolute breeze to fly and the leds and exposed whirring parts are very cool.

Very robust too. The rotors seem to be made of a flexible plastic that bends rather than shatters like my Llama 4.
