Looks like you have her dialed in and flying well!

Yeah, thanks. She's just stock, but I'm using the next holes in on the servo arms for more swash travel - gotta watch out for those blade strikes tho'.
One day I'll have to try some backwards flight with her. I love this little machine and I hope any newbs with those 'Is the Blade CX2 easy to fly' type questions will see it and realise what great flyers they are!

Have to agree Rick, they are great little fun flyers and very stable when set up right. Now go and practice your 'blind' land and take offs - try over the neighbours fence this time, go on i dare ya! :YeaBaby: :thumbup:

Be more careful than me on the backwards stuff! I was flying backwards figure-eights, and cut the last one just a little too wide. Only had to replace two blades though, so it wasn't too bad.

That's one of the great things about the CX2, the blades only cost $1.00 each! You can have no fear to try new things. My first crash on my T-Rex I took out a set of $40 carbon fibers OUCH! And like Rick said, when these things are set up right, they fly great.
Don't get me wrong, I still love my Rex, but there is WAY less pucker factor when flying the CX2.

Great vid. I kept waiting for you to go inverted...:wink:
Try that that blind take-off stuff with your REXY for an added thrill!
Your kid in the background made great sound effects!
Glad no imfamous Rick Roterhead crashes were involved!!!
(Reminds me of my XRB. Used to have a blast with that little guy!)

Thanks Rick, et al,
I should have video'd today's escapade with the CX2!
I took it to our regular flying field ,but it was way to breezy to fly - however, alongside the field is a belt of woods - and its calm in the woods, so........
Yep, flew the CX2 INSIDE the woods, around the trees, blowing loose leaves around and occaisionally falling outta the air after hitting whispy, hard to see, twigs. hee hee. First time I have flown her behind objects and circled tree trunks - what a blast!
