How do I align servo arms on CX2?
Ok, stupid me wanted more response in flying so I moved the push rod to the second hole from the screw on the servo arm, but I forgot to pay attention to where the servo arms were lined up with before removing them. My CX2 wants to do barrel roles to the right now at lift off. Instead of using trial and error trying to align my servo arms, does anyone have a better technique to get them aligned using the 2nd hole? Thanks.

I did the same thing. Moved up one hole to get better forward and backward response and didn't give much thought to how the arm goes back on.
The way I fixed mine was to turn on the receiver and then plug the battery in like you are going to fly. The server arms should run parallel to the ground. So remove the screw and adjust the servo arm as needed. When you get that done make adjustments as if you just purchased the heli and are taking the maiden take off. You should be able to make small adjustments and be back up and flying in no time.

Thanks for the simple solution. That should be an easy fix using your method. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
Thanks again. Can't wait to get my heli back to flying status.

To reset the swashplate:
Turn the radio on and center the trim.
Plug in the battery on the heli.
Ensure that the servo arms are parallel with the ground to get maximum control authority. The arm on the left side should face farward, and the arm on the right side should point to the back of the heli. (you may need to unscrew them to reset them)
Ensure that the swashplate is LEVEL when the sticks are released on the radio and trims are centered. Adjust for level by popping the ball link off the swashplate (BE CAREFUL) and twisting the linkages on the control arms. (LEVEL SWASHPLATE = LEVEL FLIGHT).
Hope this helps!
