Status: offline 		I found that heli direct has a 1000mah 15C mega battery for the same price as the 850mah 15C, I am pretty sure it is the same dimensions as the stock battery. I saw the 1000mah before i saw the 850mah. Is the 1000mah an ok battery for the Blade CX2 or is it too much to handle.

Status: offline 		just check the weight but im sure that one wont fit the stock battery tray, you can try it for sure and come back and post your results cause i might buy some

Status: offline 		Has anybody upgraded their CX-2 with the longer shafts/shorter flybar available from bladecxpro.com? How were the results? I understand that these are just repackaged Dynam Vortex parts, is there a cheaper way to obtain these parts, and if so, does anyone have the appropriate part #s? Thanks!

Status: offline 		Try making your own shorter flybar. Just cut it up. I used wheel collets for flybar weights. I think I ended up taking either 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch off each end and then used three wheel collets on each end. To get a flybar strike you really have to hit the controls hard. Now the CX control is more sensitive too.

Status: offline 		I recently purchased the inner shaft from bladecxpro.com and it is infact shorter than the standard shaft on my cx2, I will not be using it, it must be only for the cx and not the cx2.

Status: offline 		Hey guys,

I have 3 questions for you guys.
Where can I get the E-Flight Node Adaptor to work with this Charger? I looked on the link but still am not sure which one I need
Secondly, how long does it typically take you guys to charge your lipo with the stock charger? My LHS said I should be able to get a full charge in about an hour, but its been consistantly 2 hours. I've got about 5 charges on the one included lipo.
Lastly, on my throttle trim, I have to be at past halfway before I get any speed on the blades, where can I adjust this properly.
