I find I have way more "feel" with pinch control of the gimbals especially since I cut the first joint of my right thumb off (long story) and had it reattached a few years ago and it has limited feeling in the tip.

Well I think I've found the limitations of the Mcpx. It was blowing pretty good today and the poor thing just didn't have the jam to pull out of a low level back flip and I stuffed it hard into the dirt. New frame, links, and blades. Oh well at least parts are cheap

Time start flying your "500"!!! If parts were only as inexpensive as the mCPX.

I've got the 500 dialed in and am putting a couple batteries a week through it.
Now if I could only convince you to bust out the 700 and get it inverted
