Status: offline 		Blades, flybar, main shaft, inner shaft. I would get them in that order.


I have not needed the shafts, but the blades and flybar I have gone through 2 sets.


Happy flying!

Status: offline 		nomobux,

You might want to read through these forums a bit more. My son bought a CX a while back and as many posters have noted neither the CX nor CX2 are perfect flyers out of the box unless you are lucky enough to get a really good one. We have replaced all the head gear from the swash plate to the main shaft with the aluminum parts E-flite sells. But I also ended up buying a replacement tail boom and see some almost indestructable blade systems for sale. My suggestion is to fly stock as long as you can with a new set of blades ready for replacement and perhaps a set of training gear. But once you break any part of the main gear go ahead and upgrade the entire thing.

Just putting on a carbon fiber tail boom makes this heli look much better.

Have fun.
