Bry pretty much has said it all. All I would add is that compared to some of the other coaxial design heli's this little heli is the real deal. It is a great introduction into RC heli's. It has enough features and upgrades available to keep you going for months on end. Alot of the guys in this forum have single rotor helis however we all have a special place for the CX2. In my opinion it is the perfect starter!
