Barrick,
The CX-2, as you noticed, dosen't like wind at all, 2 to 3 mph is all she can handle and that would be tuff.. The CX2 is pretty much an indoor heli or a no wind heli... I use to take mine out on non windy/breezey days and had a ball. It's a great little machine and great when the weather is so bad, you can fly in the house.
Sounds like you have your hands full, the DX7, Trex, CP Pro, CX-2 and just loving it... Great job on the 20 minutes of flight.. The 90 degree turn in and nose in will come with time..
Love ya Rick, hope I can do as well as you, at your age, (no offense), just another amazement to me.
You've accomplished so much in a short time and advancing soooo quickly.
Ya old Pharrt,
Dave / Choppersrule

out in the BREEZES TODAY, the CX-2 is next to Un-FLyable ! WOW surprized me ! but STILL nothing was broken at all.
took the PRO outside, in the breeze, for the very first time. Breezes to 3 or 4mph, on the driveway. Able to sustain a whole battery ( 3S LiPo ) for about 20 minutes of flight. Only mods. on the PRO : SuperSkids + F/G sym. blades...other than those, the Heli is STILL ORIGINAL FROM THE BOX...... super super SMOOOOOOOTH flying, did not quite get around to 90degrees right or left, but getting there. Starboard VIEWING is more difficult for me.... Attempted NOSE IN HOVER but the breeze pushed it IN a couple of times, so gave up on that. as un UPDATE I am not doing much because ALL my electric equipment is still being worked on in FLA, including the new SuperLIPO Charger from TEJERA. preparing for the TEST RUNS on the DX-7 equipment which has yet not been lit up. I wish I had somebody to snap some pics. but, I am alone most of the time. Was very able to CATCH the RISE + DRIFT of the Heli when the wind picks up. I guess I still have good PLANE reflexes..left. HA ! --- still need to get MOTOR/ESC/LIPO/GYRO for the T-REX so I can work parallel with ARROW, but at the rate he is going, he will be finished before I start.
B.O.B's I SALUTE YOU lllllll
big grin ! [&o][&o] NOTHING BROKEN YET !!!!!! nOtHiNg at all YEAH R I CK
