My first Drone: Blade mQX by Horizon Hobby - a legend

Hi Steemians.

Today I want to introduce you my first rc drone. It was the Blade mQX – made by Horizon Hobby. It was a fantastic drone and I am very happy that it is still in my collection ;-)

Horizon advertised the product as follows:

„It’s sleek. It’s high-tech. It’s an RC flying experience unlike any other. It’s the exciting Blade® mQX—the world’s first quad-copter equipped with the advanced AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization 3-aXis) System. The sense of precise control this system gives an mQX pilot rivals that of bigger quad-copters that cost a whole lot more. Indoors or out, breezy conditions or calm, you’ll find that you can fly the mQX with complete confidence just about anywhere, anytime. And it’s so simple to set up—anyone with experience flying conventional RC helis will find it’s the perfect introduction to quad-copter fun.“

And they have not exaggerated. The mQX was a fantastic drone. Made for newbies as well as experienced pilots. Today it is really difficult to get a mQX in perfect condition. It seems, that the drone scene has its first collection item ;-)
