Upgrade to a speed control w/reverse, then you should be able to fly the CX inverted. Get it inverted-use the wind to help you, then simply hit reverse on your TX and voila! YOu can now hover inverted!

I would like one of your flybars too. Send me a email about how you would like to conduct the transaction.

RE: Anyone loop their CX or CX2 yet?
This is a question that i have always had, can someone loop a blade cx. If someone ever does please post the video. I do think that it is possible but there are some things to keep in mind.
A flybar mod is going to be needed, and in fact i think that removing or locking the flybar will be the key to this. It is the job of the top rotor to fight you and keep you stable. Modifications to reduce the effect will of course cause for a more unstable blade cx, but also more snappy in the air.
I have a flybar that is modded with 1/2" off each end and with that alone, i can pull the nose straight up in the air and recover (with some good alt drop of course).
Of course during the loop you are going to have to keep on the throttle a little bit to keep the chopper rolling in the air. Well there are two that you can do.. One is the true loop, and the other i guess is like hit the throttle, go straight up, pull back hard, and let off the throttle and kind of tumble around, and then hit the throttle again.
Has anyone every tried to fly the blade cx with out the flybar and the top rotor locked? I got something to try this weekend.

I think you have to switch the bottom blades and the top blades, and then switch the right and left blades. Basically what you want is the pitch to be reverse, so that the curved part points up instead of down.... and then you want the flat side of the blade to be the leading edge, and the curved side to be the trailing edge.
Here is a video on youtube.
