i have never tried programing it for a heli but i was considering it because it has a spot (i guess youd call it a base program for helis ) so i assume it would work i would just have to read up on it but i dont think ill do it until i can fly it on the stock tx so at least then i could appreciate the diffrence. when i said the kitchen im basically just light on the skids i dont actually lift off in the house . i usually practice doing that and then on weekends i go outside ( after flying my planes cause that is my first passion wich is why i thought i would do better with helis seeing i have alot of other stick time)i will be getting the cx2 though because it was just fun being able to fly in the house. although ill wait a bit judging from these threads there seems to be some motor or gear problems cropping up. any way thanks. i just ordered the plastiblades . ps i did repair the wooden ones many times this time i split it right up to the holders. pps one last question my lhs has an mx400 they have had forever and i think i can get a good deal on it (75$) i might pick it up for the future any thoughts on this heli
