I've had mine a couple of months now....crashed it from about 30ft up outdoors with in the first 2 mins of the first batt charge...bout $50 worth of shafts, bodies, blades etc [X(]....but during that first repair....i knew i was hooked!....

It also taught me that this is a sport to take very slowly at first...#1..easier on credit card, mine was smokin' the first month, and #2...it's easier on mairrage!

the cx2 has been crashed many times since then, and its usually a case of an operator with a set of balls that suddenly feel huge....

i've got close to $500 bucks worth of crashes,batteries (6) and upgrades in it and have arrived at a very stable copter that is a blast to fly!!

(all e-flight aluminum upfrades plus xxtreme production blade grips and folding blades but stick with the stock stuff for a while during the initial learning curve, which can be steep )
