      Blade's having lots of trouble with keeping the blades on the heli. First the mcpx and now the 700x

      I think they have to @The Dude as I belive blade to be an American company so any defect without recall notice opens up a huge range of liabilities

      I seem to recall hearing this a while ago... it was when the heli first came out... from memory you could register you had a faulty one and they shipped you the fix free of charge... also I don't believe any blades where lost... they just thought it might happen so did it as a preventative measure.

      There may have been an earlier one and it may or may not be related @Manyc but this one is recent and dated April 30th 14. issued by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.

      Maybe Blade tried to recall them initially and then later on the US watchdog stepped in and made it official?
