CX / CX2 differences
In case you didn't know
Besides the radio gear, I just found out personally that the chassis is not the same. Servos don't fit properly, and that little guide piece that sits above the servos that the pin for the swashplate sits in is different. My LHS told me they were the same when in fact they are not. I even measured it with calipers. Just a hair off.
The chassis plate part number for the CX is # BCX and the CX2 is # BCX2

RE: CX / CX2 differences
Right.. the frame is different because the CX2 has smaller servos. Also, the "tray" for the 4-in-1 is different between the two frames... because the 4-in-1 on the CX2 is larger. Maybe the swashplate guide pin slot is in a slightly different location on the CX2 frame, but you can definitely use the same swashplate on either the CX or CX2.
Since you're in Albuquerque, you should come to the church this Friday night since it's our monthly flying event inside their gym. Or maybe you already know that. Drop me a private message for more info. Neall

RE: CX / CX2 differences
Take a look here [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5303671/anchors_5303671/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#5303671]CX 1½[/link]
I converted a CX to a "CX 1½" by adding a 2.4ghz 4-in-1 from a CX2. The chassis (and servos as ndoren points out) are indeed different.

RE: CX / CX2 differences
Compstall:
Indoor electric flying is held the second Friday evening of the month from 7-10 pm in the gym at Heights Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Moon and Academy.
See: http://www.arcconline.com
You should drop by and check it out for a few minutes, even without a heli in hand. It's fun to watch. I'd say there are 20 or so helis... almost half are Blade CPs, CPPs, an CXs, and a lot of others are T-Rex's. There are a few "freaks" like me, who fly what is basically a Blade CP heli, but with a fixed-pitch rotor head installed instead. There are a lot of electric heli experts there. It's a blast. Neall
