I had the exact same problem with my CX2 last month......I am brand new to the Heli. arena and was fit to be tied. My local store try selling me the MCX first, but I didn't want such a small Heli. I boxed the CX2 for now and have been having a blast with the MCX. I should have bought this one first, it is so easy and fun inside (when they say it's not for outside flight, they ain't kidding. The wind took mine for about a 75-100 foot straight forward super fast flight :-)

Good luck<br type="_moz" />
