Default RE: axe cp thread

Markind, Sorry to hear about your recent crash. I know you have put a lot of time, effort, and money into getting your Axe where you want it. This is especially difficult with a newer model. I don't have any idea what would cause the mixing you are referring to other than some mixup in the programming of your transmitter. It sounds like something in the programming of your transmitter to me. I hope you get it figured out.

I truthfully have now flown my Axe in about two weeks, but I still check in here every now and then. I finished building my new TRex 450se V2 and it is much more stable and easier to fly than the Axe. I love not being worried about a slight breeze or gust when I whan to go flying. While I have not crashed my Rex yet, the prices for normal breaking parts are normally cheaper for the Rex than the Axe. Not only are the prices typically cheaper you normally get multiple parts in the same bag while HeliMax includes 1.

I am not going to sell my Axe but rather keep it around for the memories and maybe hover it around in my garage every now and then. The Axe served its purpose well in my case. I bought it to "get my feet wet" and see if rotary flight was something I was going to enjoy and stick with it. The Axe fit the bill for under $200 so I went with it and made a promise to myself that I would keep it totally stock and save my money for a nicer heli in the future. Thankfully, I was able to keep that promise. You can see a couple of pics of my new heli my gallery.
