Well, I did look at the CX3 because I feel coaxial helis are a good fit for my abilities. I really like how the CX3 looks, as well as the bigger size. I also like that it is a bit faster and more "hobbiest" (for lack of a better term). But this raises a couple more questions. If I were to buy the CX3, would I need to buy a new controller, or may I use the one that I recieved with my mCX (RTF)? Also, how long can the CX3 run on its battery, because I am also looking at a longer flight time on a single battery. And lastly, are there any must-need accessories, like extra batteries or chargers (because I bought an extra charger and two batteries for my mCX)?
