    Status: offline     		Yeah me, i picked up a mcx2 yesterday and was reading the manual while the batteries charged (Local hobby honored the online Horizon Hobby special of 2 free batts). When the batts were ready i went through the controls test and all the inputs showed the correct movement on the heli. Then i took off, hehe. Loved the idea i had it hovering in no time flat, yes i know it is a coax but i'm still happy with the hover, and went through a couple forward and back test. I found that when i went to spin in place i need to work on keeping the same throttle level,  a couple time it got close to things so i cut the throttle and let it drop (i saw a video somewhere) and was able to set it upright and take off again.

    I noticed that if i was slowly bring up the throttle the heli started to lean right. I push on the left trim adjust and didn't see any difference. does it take a lot of input to make a correction? I wouldn't expect any off balance with a coax, am i wrong???
