Hello.
The lower blades of my CX2 move out of track approx. every second. There is no adjustment to correct this like the upper blades. It started to do this after a very minor collision with the kitchen stove.
Any ideas? Im actually becomming very frustrated with my heli. I must have bad luck, because Ive had lots of problems with this heli right out of the box. I have yet to be able to obtain a stable hover. I must seem like a real tool to not be able to fly the most basic of helis. :mad:

Youll get the hang of it, perhaps take it back to the hobby shop to see if they can help you get it in the air.

Hang in there. He's right-go to the LHS and ask for help. Once you get that first solid hover you're hooked!

My hobby shop contacted e-flite, and they replaced my complete heli free of charge.
Im sorry Im not much help. You could try replacing the lower blades as see if that makes it any better.
This is a very common common for any FP heli.All you need to do is to identify which blade is having more lift than the other.Then you just give a twist on the other blade to fine tune.

I had the same issue and a vibration. Replaced the lower blades and gave them a little manual tweak.

If they are a little out of track it should not be a big deal. Tiger and I have flown our CX2's with chunks out of the rotors, only because we did not have any replacments. A little vibration is no big deal. Now if one of the weights of the flybar come off in mid flight that is a bit too much vibration, and forget trying to find it.

I'm with you on this one... I have chips out of the lower blades and it still hovers hands off.
This has been a treat to fly. I have messed it up a few times but it was not hard to troubleshoot and get it back into the air.
Nice to hear that BoomTown is a good source, I'll be over there someday and it is nice to know I'll have a means to acquire parts to continue the fun :)
