Yep.......Yer addicted......Claiming it's gonna be a long night means loss of sleep... That's the first sign... At least it was for me...Lol... The more you tinker, mod, fix, crash, & fly these things, the better you understand in which helps in being a better pilot whether it's the CX2 or a Trex... Never give up, like I see you seem to never do...Lol..! And keep the postive attitude. "The heli won't fly itself, you have to fly the heli" a famous "Choppersrule saying"... And remember, crashing is a part of learning....

I think after scratching my head with your problem, your doing correct. I would tear it down, and go through your set-up again, taking the knowledge you have, re-assembling the heli and seeing afterwards then if your having the same problem... Use the advice from above, as simply from a screw being to tight, can have a negative effect of your heli...And use the web-sites you have for trouble-shooting/assembly. Hopefully you'll have a cure at the end.

Good luck to ya,
