Wow. I am sorry you are having that experience with your CX2. I shortened my flybar removed the huge tail boom and replaced it with a carbon fiber, moved me servos out to #3 position, put DNPower batteries in it and WOW! It was a "trainer" when I bought it but now.......fun as heck! The only thing I won't do with it is fly with wind beyond a light breeze. Early mornings and late evening but mother of god it hauls butt! My particular CX2 isn't garbage, its amazing with minor tweaks all I can do is think about calm dayz. Good luck!
