evilspoons, welcome to the wonderful world of R/C Heli's (and this site!) .....

One point to mention straight away - R/C Helicopters (even the micro CX2) require a good deal of "bench time", to get it properly trimmed for a decent flight. Infact configuring/tinkering with Heli's becomes almost essential, if you have any hope of a decent hover and flight!

If you want something you can just pick up and fly then put down and forget about, you might be better off with a radio controlled plane. So much less involved, for the most part just charge the LiPo and get out and fly.

The CX2 really is a fun Heli and a nice introduction to the world of R/C helicopters - you made a great choice there. However if you, quote "don't want to have to screw around, I don't have the energy to do this. I just want to have a little toy that I can learn to fly a R/C aircraft or heli on. ", then a park flyer plane might be a better option?

To conclude, you CAN get alot out of your CX2, but you WILL need to put in the time to get it flying at it's best!

Hope this helps.
