So I was looking into going into RC Helicopters. I was looking at the Blade MCPX because I want something small to fly inside but if I want I can fly outside. And also in RC terms what does 3D and CP mean?
Answer
CP means collective pitch, meaning when you turn the idle switch on, the blades speed up to full power and when the throttle stick is in neutral the blades produce zero lift. when you push the stick up, it produces positive lift, ie goes upward. when you push it down, it produces negative lift, ie it can fly upside down.
As far as 3d goes, this is the best way to describe it:

The video is about 3g, a type of helicopter head/gyro system, but the flying style is 3d.
If you are just starting out, the mcpx will NOT be suitable.get an mcx or other coaxial (two sets of main rotors) heli, as they are easy to fly and will allow you to get oriented with controls.

Where to find information on remote control helicopters?

Preferably an active UK forum or detailed site, that covers small indoor RC helicopters. Non UK fine too of course.
Answer
If it was me I would start by searching for which helicopter you think you want to buy, then take the name of that and type it in the search on youtube and see what comes up. A picture's worth a thousand words, and a video way more than that. You can see what other people are using and what sort of things the helicoptor is capable of, and you might see one on there that you decide you like better. Good Luck!
