You seem very fustrated with your CX2. I get like that too after I crash and have to do repairs, but thats what the hobby of flying helicopters is about. I think you might be expecting too much out of this little heli. If you did research before your purchase you would of understood that this is for indoors. I don't see how you can compair a Airhog Reflex to an CX2, Thats not even close. Your compairing a kids toy to an adults, thats just two different classes. Thats like compairing the CX2 to the 400. I consider the CX2 to be the "best in its CLASS" I have bought the "cheap stuff" and they are "CHEAP". Mastering a CX2 will teach a very good lession in flying helicopters and that is DON"T push it's and your own limits or you will be calling it "Garbage". Well on the other hand the CX2 isn't for everyone. I personaly will never move up to more advanced helicopters, I love the fact that I can fly whenever I want indoors and stay warm.
Check out this link, it might help change your feelings about the cx2. They are great fun.

Rice,
I have learned much from your posts especially, thank you for that. Trust me, I've read the tops/repairs etc. thoroughly. Garbage was probably too strong of a word, it's in my opinion the CX2 is a poor value given what it costs initially and cost to repair compared to other toy heliopters (they're all toys, let's be real) I've flown the Airhog Reflex and it does exactly what the CX2 does and seems to be more durable too. It looks and is much cheaper but flight characteristics are equal. I was hoping the CX2 would have "some" more advanced flight characterstics possible but after much trial and error it's evident this is simply not the case.
The CX2 IS top of it's class for coaxial heli's, true. But you pay the price and for me it's not worth it.
