Default RE: CX2 ISSUES... HELP

Hey everyone,
I had an interesting one that started Wednesday night and finally figured out on Saturday. I went to put some flight time on my CX2, and all of a sudden it started TBE-ing like the Tindy Bowl man. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif] I couldn't fiigure out what was going on because the last time I flew it handled fine. And I double checked all the usual stuff, no bent flybar, no bent anything else, servo's were zero-ed, and so on. Then after looking at all that, I realized I overlook the tiny little screws that hold the rotor blades together. One of the screws snapped off inside the blade, allowing the blade to move out when the blade was turning but not actually flying of the head. It was just enough to throw the whole thing out of balance. All I had to do was replace the blade and hardware and she was flying straight as an arrow again. Just thought I'd post my findings so no one else goes nuts and waistes a whole bunch of time checking everything else over to find out it was something that minor that you jst don't think to check.
