Last night I rebuilt my first CX2 (http://www.helifreak.com/buynow/keywordclick.cfm?bid_id=4264) completely from scratch. I could not believe how well it went together! I am attaching some pix for you to drool over. http://image2-0.rcuniverse.com/e1/forum/image/s2.gif
The only hiccup was when I first powered it up. The Heli spun crazily to the right (CW) no matter what I would do to the proportional or gain pots. I finally realized that I had the motors plugged in backwards. I don't mean backwards in terms of polarity - the blades turned in the correct direction - I mean in terms of which motor was plugged into the upper connector and which to the lower. I swapped the connections, observing proper polarity and now the Heli flies like a dream!
