Default RE: axe cp thread

if you can run a screw driver in one hand and a nut driver in one and can learn when not to over tighten you will have no problem.

buying the right nut drivers to fit into the blade holders and such has been no easy task.

althought this is coming from a guy who is a wiz with tools. The issues I am having with my MX450's is the programing.

OH MY GOD,

I have been at it for a week. I spent the 20 bucks for the usb cord to hook up the Castle speed control to my computer, I have had it with the beep beep count the beeps. AND if you make a mistake,,,start over.

AND the programming of the radio, take two asprin and read on. WHAT a *****. And I thought programming EXP and DR on my radio for my planes was easy cheesy. The heli is a nightmare.

I have gotten into the habbit of taking my heli out with 1 extra battery in my pocket and my reading glasses and a manual for each component on the Heli in the other pocket.

I am the guy at the field trying to figure out wich pitch curve is not right.

I had fun flying the AXE CP, now all I do is try to get a MX450 to spin the main rotor head.

GOOD Luck and dont be in a hurry to spend money at sit at your work bench.

hey BoysToys

how long have you been flying helis? ... also how would you rank your assembly skills with respect to putting your T-Rex together? ... i have a Axe CP and am doing a little hovering here and there and am finally feeling adventurous with working on it myself, and would like to get a T-rex but i have two left hands when it comes to putting things together ... how would you rank the difficulty of the assembly?
