Over the weekend I was fling my CX2 inside and had a minor blade strike on a wall. I didn't do any damage to the baldes or anything else, but I did crack the stock body about 3/4 of the way down the tail. That's the second time I've cracked the tail section of the heli since I got it back in October. It seems to me that the stock bodies are pretty weak there by the tail, I've been thinking about getting a diffrent body for it for awhile and now that I crack the tail again seems like a good time to do it. I was thinking of getting one of the e-flite Navy Seahawk bodies. But before I do I was hoping some of you could give me some info. The main reason I wanted to go to either the Jet Ranger or Hawk bodies is becuase they seem to be made of a stronger plastic similar to glue together non-RC model kits that would take a bit more abuse. But I was hoping you all could confirm this. I've looked at the bodies before in the box, and they seemed like that thicker plastic, or are my eyes going bad?
Or do you think it would be better to go to the sport style tail boom? I'm more into scale, then the 3D sport look, that's why I was leaning more toward the Seahawk. I'm still pretty much a newbie, so minor crashes will more than likely happen on and off for awhile . So a stronger body would probably be a benifit to me. Thanks for you input.

Best try not crashing into things such as walls. Most bodies have to be light weight so it wont cook your motors and or electronics. more weight the more amps , more amps more heat. These helis do not like alot of extra weight, it will lead to the demise of the speed controller. Sometimes a fuse mod may be needed. There are no doubt other fuselages or bodies out there. I myself does a KA-50 scale body for the CX also I do a wasp body and also a few made up bodies for the CX helis They arent damage proof as in the event of a bad crash.
