Barrick/Rick,

Congrats on your first successful flight in the heli world. Sounds like you already have a pretty good handle on the critter.

TIP: On any lipo battery, never run it all the way down, if heli won't climb, set 'er down and recharge battery. Be on the safe side.
If run down to much, they will never again accept a charge. Take if from a younger ppphart (61), I messed up two batteriers in the last year on learned my lesson, a $$$$ mistake. Get a spare for more flight time.

I had to lol, when I saw your picture of the CX2 in the box, I do the same thing. Here's my CX2 box, plus a couple extras.
The picture of the CX2, with the broken blade, you'll notice I have the inner shaft with aluminum head. Like it alot.

Also, here's a link for upgrades for the CX2: http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/..._cx2_optional/

Any questions, it's best to PM me, I just don't have the time, always to check all the posts.
