anyone know when the release date is ?all i heard is mid nov. i cant wait!!!!! hehe


here it is http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-E-Flite-Blad...QQcmdZViewItem

I found myrcsupply.net shows the release date right on their home page, it says they should be shipping by Nov 30th and they are is selling the Blade CX2 for $159 ($30 off), shipping included.

My local hobby shop said they would have a cx2 for me Nov.20th.I really can't wait!!!!!!!!Wonder how many people in RC Universe are gonna pick one up?

Don't want to be a dark cloud on your sunny day guys, but Horizon changed their estimated ship date from "late November" to now read "early December". They did this at the beginning of this week.
To me that means we'll be lucky to actually see someone with a new BCX2 before Xmas!! I pre-ordered from Horizon way back on 10/16/06. Good thing about their policy is that they do not charge your credit card until they actually ship the product to you!

[sm=angry.gif] very dark cloud...now what do i do with myself???????????????

Here's what I'll be doing until then!

thanks for the info. i have a cx and was not going to get a cx2.........but $159.00 AND no shipping i had to get one. i hate it when this happens...lol

I stopped by Century Heli last Friday and asked when they expected the CX2-- They said just before Christmas-- but not to hold my breath !!! Soo- I wait !!

:O that camo job is sweet!

Best projection at the moment..... arriving in shops at the very beginning of December.... A few could appear in the very end of November, but most will still be 'in transit'.

I just placed my pre-order on a CX-2 :-)

After all the reading and contemplation of CP Pro or CX-2, I decided the CX-2 was the simplest and most cost effective way to go.

Thanks to everyone here in this thread and others that helped me decide by offering plenty of info.

wise decision! my CP is so hard to fly,when i flew my buddies CX i knew i had to have one. plus cx2s radio is so sweet.the reg cxs radio is cheap feeling. theres a link around here somewhere for learning to fly a heli like the CP, ive read it somewhat and am going to print it out right now. seems very interesting. but anyways the CX is instant gratification


heres the link,this thing should be stickied somewhere http://www.dream-models.com/eco/pre-Flight.html

Thanks for the link. I've been reading ]RADD's[/color] and found it very helpfull.

I also went and purchased a few aluminum up grades. Not sure if it was a good idea to get all of them. I bought an aluminum swash plate, aluminum lower rotor head set and an inner shaft with aluminum head/hub. I think the aluminum head will not allow the flybar to pop off when it crashes. This means the flybar will be breaking alot :-/

I shoulda prolly stuck with the stock inner shaft and head. The other two upgrades I like though. Together they all look real sweet though :-)


edit: I forgot to plug the good people at www.myrcsupply.com
They got pretty decent prices and are good folks to deal with in general [sm=thumbup.gif]

You may want to wait for upgrades until the CX2 really gets here, I compared all the part numbers and see the inner shaft part number has changed:

Old CX Listing
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rts%20Listing:
Inner Shaft with Hub & Main Gear Set: BCX
$8.99 [EFLH1212]

New CX2 Listing:
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...arts%20Listing
Inner Shaft w/Head/Hub: BCX/2
$6.99 [EFLH1242]
Inner Shaft Main Gear: BCX/2
$2.99 [EFLH1243]

Funny though, they both have been tagged with the "BCX/2" saying they are supposably both compatible?
Note the CX2 shows separate part numbers for the shaft and gear, while the CX was one part number?

PS: I second the motion for the good guys at www.myrcsupply.com

[&o] borriinnngggg, wheres me heli




[sm=bananahead.gif][sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

actualy, i called Horizon, and they are saying that they do expect them on the 30th. I asked the rep about the date showing early dec. and he told me that day has been changed back to Nov. 30th.
He sounded positive with his info... lets hope its true, i cant wait to get mine

Wow......encouraging news! I pre-ordered from Horizon way back on Oct 16th!!

Hey Wickedklown! How do you stand it down there in that hot, wind blown, tumbleweed infested desert??? You should migrate north to God's country, green trees, green lawns and Lake Tahoe just up the road!!!! Hehe!

Well I called my LHS and myrcsupply.net to try and get the scoop on when the CX2 will ship. Between the two here is what I was able to figure out. They should be coming off the ship by the end of this week and E-Flite will start shipping them to the dealers. The dealers should start receiving them by Monday the 27th, or so, depending where they are located. It sounds like they will just get a few in per day as there is such a demand for them. That said, it sounded like they will receive some each day, so our orders should get filled soon.
Sounds like a reason to be thankful in this Thanksgiving Season, LOL

Anyone had good experience with MYRCSUPPLY?

Just did not want to pre-order and then wait another 2 weeks for them to ship....

I started buying from these guys as I heard about their outstanding customer service from the nitro car and truck guys. Also, here is a post in response to one of the guys ordering his Blade CX2:

Great, well for all the cx2 has to offer, 159.00 is UNBELIEVABLE!

Learning on a CP PRO and doing well, just need one for truly indoors...

Thanks guys!

Go Cowboys!

I am really chomping at the bit for my CX2, pre-ordered 2 weeks ago!@!@#

To keep me from going insane, I have been practicing on the FSOne RC flight sim.

The CX sim is so easy I got bored of it - it really is so docile - which is exactly what I want from the real thing!

Practicing with the CP sim is the opposite - ultra challenging... grrr... keep crashing, stable hover difficulty... much more practice required before I go get the real thing. But I am soooo ready for that CX2....

ack... waiting... is... killing... me.... gasp....

I started with a cp pro, no sim.

After 8 batteries I was hovering well and when I use the sim in the LHS, it is harder to me that the real deal.

Going to symm. blades will get you the ability to really fly and heli.....

Just my experience.

RADD'S flight training is incredibly good! I used it the whole way through! www.dream-models.com/eco/flying-index.html

The Blade cx2 is at the local hobby shop and I don't get paid till thursday [:@] I can't believe eflite didn't plan their release around my schedule
