bcx2 throtle mod oops
 

Ok I was doing the throtle mod on my cx2 and I droped the screw. do any of you know what size it is?

throttle mod? are you talking about removing the detent on the collective stick?

anyways, finding micro sized hardware is not easy. in fact i've had troubles finding a common mounting screw for the popular gws ips motors that everyone on the planet is using. your best bet is to dig in your boxes and see if you can find one that fits. if it's tapped in plastic, almost any similar screw will work. if it's a machine screw, well...

Not sure of the size of the screw, but for what it's worth Radio Shtuff has small screws included with some of their XMODS tools and parts. You may also find what you need in a glasses repair kit found in a lot of checkouts or drug stores.

thanks for the help guy's. I put the screw on the table, grabed my plyers to adjust the bar, turn around and the screw grew little legs and ran off the table. Doing a perfect half pike with a double twist right in to the carpet. I ran the vacume over the area for search and rescue, but to no avale. [&o] I will try your guy's ideas. thanks

I lost that screw too, its listed in the blow up or breakdown of the copter and has a part number and size.....and it does come in a parts kit from e flite. If all else fails look in your manual.

lessons learned:
-use a magnetic parts dish
-keep your manuals

Same size as the one on my 1980 futaba 4 channel:DDon't ask me what size it is, but it worked fine! I threw mine away because I wanted the smooth throttle, and by the time I figured out that I DIDN'T want the smooth throttle, the trash guy had already come:([:o]

I still have the manual. but mine dosn't have a break down for the controler. but I'm just going to put whatever I can find in there.
