As for flying in the wind with a cx it can be done. You need to be a descent pilot to start with and then add a set of heavy duty landing gear. I use the skid set for a trex 450. Next set your pushrods on the servo out one hole.

You should be able to fly it in a slight wind. Perhaps up to 3 miles an hour.

When I first started with a stock blade and didn't know how to fly, I could not even attempt a little breeze. NOW IT IS A BREEZE

Mark
keep it in the air, not in the garbage can!
