Apparently Meh must know that certain items sell well and are more profitable to offer. For the life of me, that's the only reason I can think of to explain why we keep seeing so many of the same type of things here. sigh
I must say, the CX-10 is definitely worthy $10. I have probably flown and charged mine 2 dozen times, crashed it like crazy all over the house, and it still flies like a top. All of that, only broke 1 of the blades, popped on a new one and was back in the air. Helicopters are NOT cool after you have flown a quadcoper, sorry heli, you guys are toast.
I bought the CX-10C last time to try it out and absolutely loved it (still haven't even used the camera), although I've finally broken 1 too many blades. I'm looking forward to having 3 back-ups.
@jpd Mine haven't worked either! I thought maybe I was just bad, but I've purchased 3! They always fly off to the right, hardly hover, or die very quickly. On the other hand the Helicopter I got (Same model I think) a while ago flies like a champ, I've gotten way more enjoyment out of it.
@luvche21 The mini quad is much faster and more maneuverable. It will fly in any direction, sideways even, where the helicopters like this really only fly forward and backward and turn. Plus it's not IR so you can fly it outside or into another room.
@jpd Practice. If you can learn fly one of these well, then you will have a much much much harder time crashing a big expensive one. Also, make sure that when you turn it on, lay it on a flat surface so it can calibrate correctly.
Also, inspect the prop blades. If they've been mangled after several crashes, straighten them out or replace them. Should fly like new again.
@Glucose -Yeah I got to try 2 different birds. Thought the 1st one having a bad battery was a fluke, and the fine people at meh sent me a 2nd (bad one). One flight and dead (twice). I opened it up and the battery is going on 3 years old (some much for the QC at Meh). They are now part of the local land fill!
So I would like to be the annoying person that points out that the quadcopter in the video is not the model they claim it to be. They say it is the cx-10 when in reality it is the cx-10c. Do I own too many of these? Yes. Is that the only reason could spot the error? Also yes.
If these are the same copters as last time, love the two I bought. Tons of fun to fly, longer than expected battery life and the cat and girlfriend hate them! The quadcopter on the other hand? Ugh.
I need to stop buying things that i dont need......Part of me says its only $10, another part says that $10 could buy beer. Another part says for $20 I could have beer and a tiny helicopter to fly around while drunk.
I thought today was Tuesday. I was expecting a two-for-Tuesday. Then I saw the write-up & thought How very funny, Meh doesn't know it's Tuesday. I think I should go to bed now.
I have this very cheap light plastic "spy" camera that weighs about 1/3 ounce. I want to stick it under the copter and do videos. Of course, they will only be inside, as the IR goes nuts outside.
does anyone sell light weight remote latches for these things? i'd like to drop push pins on peoples heads from above. no?
im seriously disappointed in the modding community for these little guys.
i can stab someone with the back of my maglite.... why you ask? because a modder made a battery cover replacement for it and its pointy and sharp enough.
come on modders! we want to give these little guys purpose. we want to give them a reason to not explode into a tiny ball of wonder
@outz they are not very controllable to be useful for any kind of modding. No matter what you do calibrating and what not they just fly off in random direction. They're tiny, so speckles of dust and even slight contortions to the propellers impact the stability.
Considering I have some RC copters that I haven't even taken out of the box yet I should probably pass on this... but... but I don't have this size, so maybe... argh.... people are starving in the world and I'm agonizing over buying a 7th toy helicopter .. ugh
I am plagiarizing my own post from the July 21st sale of the CX-10's for those who have problems flying them, try this:
...any color remote will pair with any color copter, just depends which you turn on. My biggest mistake was not realizing that both sticks push in like a button, and that's how you flip (right stick) and set the difficulty mode (left stick). My biggest tip is to read the manual on how to calibrate the accelerometer, (after pairing place on flat surface and push down left on the left stick and up left on the right stick at the same time and wait for the lights to stop flashing). Clicking the left stick until you hear one beep sets the sensitivity to beginner mode, do this when learning how to fly. Flying time is short, so buy more than one so you can charge one while flying another. Buy extras for spare parts or buy extra props online. Controls and props are just like a large quadcopter meaning the same rotation props are kitty corner from one another (don't screw this up when changing the broken props). If it falls out of the sky when taking off for no reason, inspect the props for damage,especially the tips of the blades, they get bent easily...
@mehdaf They sell cheap prop guards on Amazon from China. They're like a buck, work surprisingly well, and they even come with a dozen or so extra props.
@mehdaf thanks for all these tips. I remember attempting to read the manual and getting really frustrated with the chinglish. Did not know about the calibration or beginner mode - damn, i could use beginner mode.
@zxinfinity I agree the Amazon marketplace replacement props from China worked well, they even came in an array of colors. The prop guards and tri-rotor props never worked well for me, these things just wouldn't fly right with them, possibly just too heavy...
Hey, neat. You can actually choose your quadcopter's color this time around. Used to be random if I remember right, at least for the orange/green/blue ones.
So a co-worker told me about this site a couple of weeks ago and promised a very high occurrence of copters and quads for sale. My second visit in two weeks and bam! Copters! I'm excited! I made a purchase and decided to read the comments. Many of you are very unhappy, angry and even sad. And it sort of disturbs me that maybe one day I will be just like you. But today, I'm gettin' a 'copter!! (Biiiiggg grin!) Suck it!!
I once saw a demolition derby between combines (you know, those big farm equipment things that harvest corn and soybeans from the field). They had great big front tires...and leetle teeny back tires. The school bus demolition derby was a lot more fun.
But a real helicopter demo derby might be the most fun, if it would last more than a couple of minutes.
The copter was sold for 9$ last time. NOW its being sold for a reduced price of 10$!!!! And you still never sent me a fuku bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO MEH NO!!!!!!!!!
This helicopter is really a lot more fun than I expected - and tougher too. I'm still learning how to control it, and it keeps on taking a beating and gets right back up.

First?
That stopped being amusing 17 years ago.
@WhyCantiPwn You forgot the pun.
@dave More like WhyCantiPun.
@haydesigner what happened that day 17 years ago?
Yeah copter time...Flying high tonight on this sale
Sounds like you're trying to sell two different things tonight... IT BEGINS
@ModusPwnens my money is on copters.meh.com and powerbanks.meh.com getting their own rubric
@lxlx Let's not forget bluetoothspeaker.meh and knife.meh.
Apparently Meh must know that certain items sell well and are more profitable to offer. For the life of me, that's the only reason I can think of to explain why we keep seeing so many of the same type of things here. sigh
@haydesigner That stopped being amusing 17 years ago.
@DMlivezey. Oh. Ha.
@haydesigner Maybe Meh features an item and it sells like crazy so they buy more and they sell like crazy again and again.
@haydesigner yah, putting up stuff that sells seems like a horrible business model. BTW, I detest it as well.
wooo i was happy to restock my emergency gift pile... wish i could buy more than 3 tho.
@deadlybunny open another account, it'll just cost you $5/3=$1.6666666666667 per copter each to be a double VMP
It's not multirotor Monday you liars.
I must say, the CX-10 is definitely worthy $10. I have probably flown and charged mine 2 dozen times, crashed it like crazy all over the house, and it still flies like a top. All of that, only broke 1 of the blades, popped on a new one and was back in the air. Helicopters are NOT cool after you have flown a quadcoper, sorry heli, you guys are toast.
@Stallion wow, maybe i'll dig mine out the pile on my desk, awesome insight, whodathunkit?
@Stallion last time around I bought the quad copter, am i terrible or is mine defective? I cannot keep it airborne for more than 5-10 seconds.
I cant even keep it at a constant altitude, goes straight into the ceiling or drifts into the wall. No matter what I've tried it's ended in crashes.
I bought the CX-10C last time to try it out and absolutely loved it (still haven't even used the camera), although I've finally broken 1 too many blades. I'm looking forward to having 3 back-ups.

@Stallion all i have right now is one of those rc helicopters and it's fun. What makes the mini quad so much better?
@luvche21 The mini quad is much faster and more maneuverable. It will fly in any direction, sideways even, where the helicopters like this really only fly forward and backward and turn. Plus it's not IR so you can fly it outside or into another room.
@luvche21 Not completely knocking the heli, but after you fly a Quad it seems like the heli was a chore. The Quad is so much more maneuverable.
@jpd Practice. If you can learn fly one of these well, then you will have a much much much harder time crashing a big expensive one. Also, make sure that when you turn it on, lay it on a flat surface so it can calibrate correctly.

Hey this again. And such quality too. Fuck I miss speaker docks. and knives.
@Superjimtendo I do miss stabby-rainbow

2 items?
@sohmageek 2 choices
when I say OH-IO, people from UofM say "oh you can spell? - yuk, yuk, yuk"
so the cora-larry is, oh, you can count?...
If these are the same copters as last time, love the two I bought. Tons of fun to fly, longer than expected battery life and the cat and girlfriend hate them! The quadcopter on the other hand? Ugh.
I need to stop buying things that i dont need......Part of me says its only $10, another part says that $10 could buy beer. Another part says for $20 I could have beer and a tiny helicopter to fly around while drunk.
@riceatusc i think you just convinced me to buy more un-needed junk :)
@riceatusc Hmm... less talking, more buying! Beer and copters for the house!
@riceatusc don't drink and fly. Not wise.
@riceatusc
I thought today was Tuesday. I was expecting a two-for-Tuesday. Then I saw the write-up & thought How very funny, Meh doesn't know it's Tuesday. I think I should go to bed now.
As always, Meh for no mention of Drone.Horse, and because it flies, this is a @ruouttaurmind approved deal.
9 inches? It does not look like 9 inches long. ( the helicopter). Unless you squashed it to fit in the picture...
Yah, yah, that's what she said... I know.
NO.
I have this very cheap light plastic "spy" camera that weighs about 1/3 ounce. I want to stick it under the copter and do videos. Of course, they will only be inside, as the IR goes nuts outside.

@outz Exploding into a tiny ball of wonder? Heeeeeeyyy... you just might be onto something there...
@outz they are not very controllable to be useful for any kind of modding. No matter what you do calibrating and what not they just fly off in random direction. They're tiny, so speckles of dust and even slight contortions to the propellers impact the stability.
@outz I noticed every mod you want/have is very stabby.
@outz now I want a stabby end for my maglite
Let me see, buy the green, paint the bottom light blue, and have a visually cloaked drone. Yeah, that'd be fun
Considering I have some RC copters that I haven't even taken out of the box yet I should probably pass on this... but... but I don't have this size, so maybe... argh.... people are starving in the world and I'm agonizing over buying a 7th toy helicopter .. ugh

was there always tax? i dont remember such thing...
@bacon4jason death and taxes, bro, death and taxes...
@bacon4jason if you are in cali or texas they have to collect tax... (they recently hired someone in california so that is new).
It doesn't say quarter not included in the second to last pic so I expect that to be in the box... $9.75 for me. Thanks Meh
Nice! The SJ is super easy and fun to fly but break easy. In for 2.
@willb92 ++ on the easy to fly. It's a real winner.
Han shot first! But, maybe he would have selected a different career if these might have been available to him at crushingly good prices!

You should sell these drones instead.
This helicopter is really a lot more fun than I expected - and tougher too. I'm still learning how to control it, and it keeps on taking a beating and gets right back up.
Kid had more fun taking the helicopter apart than flying it…guess the battery is quite useful! (Remnants of three, I shop here too much!!)
