That's a really good post, Drake. Because so many of the hobby shops carry the E-Flight line and you are in the E-Flight forum you know it's gonna be read and the new fliers are just looking for the straight scoop - just like you gave them. I think the most disheartening thing about any new hobby is setting our personal expectations of our abilities too high.

From what I've read about the CX3, it sounds like you made a good choice in the CX2. You know that there will be carnage and the CX2 is just soooo much easier to repair. The good folks at E-Flight are taking notes I'm sure and they'll have the CX3 squared away soon, but the last thing a flier needs is a fragile and expensive body and hard to get at mechanicals. Nice work. And after looking at your other hobby, you are certainly detail oriented.
