Hi Jim;

I own both a CX2 & an MCX and love them both. It is kind of frustrating when you open an RTF heli expecting it to fly decently but doesn't. I had a similar experience with my CX2, but I'm not one to give up easily. I studied the heli, printed out the wiki guide noted above, and set forth to make my heli fly. I was able to figure out the control issues with it, and actually wore out the stock motors! I also broke my stock landing gear on a hard landing one summer day. I have been getting my replacement parts from BoomTownHobbies. I have their Extreme 180 motors in my CX2, and I replaced the stock landing gear with the Extreme ultra flex landing gear. The ultra flex landing gear is so tough, it comes with a lifetime warranty!

Here's their web site: http://www.boomtownhobbies.com

Here is the landing gear I use: http://www.boomtownhobbies.com/BoomT...s_p/bth002.htm

Good luck and don't give up!
