I'm going to post this video. This guy you may have heard of, and he is a pretty good pilot. And here are my opinions on this heli just from looking at it in this video.
I am a Blade fan when it comes to micro heli's. I love the mSR, and I love my mCP-X even though it's broken right now lol (bad crash inverted into asphalt). With that said, it looks like that Walkera is heavier than the mcpx. The servos are clearly larger (meaning heavier) and the main gear looks flimsy. When I was watching it fly, it seemed that the heli was just heavy in flight. this may just be the video though.
What I like about it is the links look stronger than the mcpx's. They seem to take crashes about the same (my crash that crippled mine was HARD lol. Seeing that a 9 minute video used 3 batteries (according to the editing) means that they have about the same 3 minute flight time. I like that they have a "flymentor" like system on the heli with the 6 axis gyro for beginners. But, that could prove bad for those that know how to fly.
I'm torn whether or not I like this one. I would have to fly it before I made a final decision. Depending on price, I might give it a shot, but I won't pay anymore for that one vs the Blade mCP-X, and I paid $161 shipped from Hobby-Lobby.
If you end up getting one, let us know what you think about it and post lots of videos.

I think $179 is about what the mCP-X is running. I was able to talk my way to a lower price on my heli. So, it's right there in range with Blade. And with the 6 axis gyro, you shouldn't have a problem flying this heli. I would start out with it on 6, and once you learn how it's going to fly, then switch to 3 axis. But, do this over a smooth surface. It may sound funny, but grass and carpet can actually do more damage than smooth concrete or tile. I found this out the hard way with mine. First flight, I wasn't ready for it to tip over, and I had a blade strike on the carpet and broke a link lol. But, it ships with extra links so it was just a learning experience. Hope to see this one in the air very soon.

I was looking at this one last week. It gets good reviews. Most people saying that it has pros and cons against the MCPX. I like the look of the Devo 6 TX. But i'm not going to buy one unless they make a BnF version for Spektrum. I also like that you can buy it already upgraded to Brushless motor.

I'm sure that x helicopter has reviews on it. They are big on walkera helis.
