what's missing from this picture of the stock cx's parts? (it is something small, and it's not the body - actually there are two things missing!)
i rebuilt the 72mhz cx back to factory stock last night (wag problem - oops theres another one for the lingo list!) - the only body/canopy i had left was a blue one with a peeled off popo sticker, so i peeled off the other side and now its just a '44', as in magnum!
flies just like out of the box (i.e., need some servo linkage adjustments to center the trims)
and another weird thing - the cx servos don't both work at forward to pick up the swash plate - no, the right one (when viewed from the front) does for fowrad and the left one does for side to side - weird, that's like 45 degrees out? must be simething to do with it being a coaxlial

edit: actually make that three things missing, but one of them is just inside its housing and hidden from view, which means i forgot to dry ice the sucker

Looks like one thing is the step washer for the lower bearing (bearing sits inside body for outer shaft).

everybody wins!!! - the step washer is missing, the uper and lower head bolts are missing, and the screws to the batt holder are missing - the inner shaft upper bearing is inside the bearing cup
your turn!

I was going to say upper and lower bolts were missing but couldn't tell if you had them in it from the picture....those little black screws are hard to see even when sitting on the workbench all by themselves
Maybe I need some of them bifocals....Damn and I'm not even 40 yet :P

if i'd given ya a 1280 * 1280 picture, it would have been hard to see those little black on black things!
not bifocals, the visor with the magnifiers!
