I dont know how desperate you are for parts,and I dont know if they ship,but "the model box" in homewood,ala has all the parts you need for your cx. I snapped the flybar off my shaft the first day,(only $8 to replace)Im an uber newbie to the rc world, so my apologies if its taboo to mention names of stores.On the subject of mods, I saw a tank that shot air-soft pellets,is there a relatively safe mod out there that could do this?Iwondered about wieght issues.possibly an ignition sysytem to launch bottle rockets off the skids?I know Im not the first to think of a shooting heli.,and im too new to design a mod of this type.any thoughts appreciated. hope your flying soon
