Eflite Blade CX2 Help
 
Just recently purchased the Cx2. Im have trouble centering it with the battery pack. No matter where i place the battery pack i stull get forward movement. Currently i have the trim all the way back but its is still moving forward. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is a pretty easy fix... basically what is happening is your swash plate is not leveled. Dont worry, it's simple enough to fix.... here's how....

place your cx2 with the tail end facing you... looking under the bottom blades, attached to the swashplate is a left and right push rod that is attached to the servos inside the copter...

The pushrod on the left (remember looking from the back side) controls the forward/reverse. the pushrod on the right side controls the pitch right or left.....

To correct your forward motion, you will need to pop off from the swashplate ball joint the left (forward/reverse) push rod....
Turning the head of the pushrod in a closkwise direction to increase reverse (to level it out) you will want to make about two full turns on that pushrod.

Stop, reconnect everything and see how she hovers..... Be sure to set your trims on the transmitter remote control to center positions...

continue to turn the rods as necessary until you can give her gas and she hovers perfectly.....

Also make sure your flybar (the top little metal bar) is freely tilting back and fourth, otherwise you will get whats called TBE and it can make mechanically tuning (which is what you will be doing by turning the push rods) impossible.

Good luck, and just holler if you have further questions....

Have Fun!

If it's now going in reverse, then you have turned the pushrod too much, turn it back a few complete turns.... and you shouldn't move the location of the pushrod to the servo from the hole that is closest to the servo... moving that forward will give you greater responce on inputs from the TX. thus making it MUCH more twitchy and harder to handle...

Good Luck!

I could use a little help also,I had broken a top blade and replaced both blades, And now i have nollift at all?

1. Replaced both sets of blades
2. replaced the motors both brand new
3.replaceed the inner and outer shafts
4. replaced new battery

I have balanced the blades, and they are tracking right,
I have full power but it will not take off
the nose of the helo is moving to the right
I am at a loss for what could be wrong, Any help for me to get this helo flying again would be so much help.

Ok this might not be your case but I had a nasty crash, I did exactly the same repairs and had no lift :(

Then I was looking and I had inadvertantly put a lower blade on the upper blade grip. [&:][&:]

Lol check that you have the "A or1" blades on top, and "B or 2" blades on the bottom.:D

cbaojay,

Take out your battery.

Stick a pencile "gently" in from under the heli battery box and through both gears until the pencil rests on the bottom of the motors fame. What you are doing is stopping both gears from turning. Now gently take each blade , upper and lower one at a time and see if it will turn. Now thet should NOT turn but if you missed tighting some screws then one set of you blades will turn.

Next, turn on the heli as if to fly. Bring up the throttle to about 1/4 or less just enought ot make the bades turning then take the throttle stick and move it left and hold for a moment then to right for a moment. As you do this the top blade should slow down and stop and the bottom pick up and visa verse. You should be able to make one blade stop and other turn.

And lastly, with the heli OFF lean down and lever the flybar and then across the top blade from edge and the blade should be level as is the fly bar. Then lift and move the flybar and the top blade should lift up to cut intot he air and down when the bar is mover the other way.

Let me know how this works for you.

*******************DO THIS FIRST AS I NOTICED YOU CHANGEED YOU MOTORS! SLIGHT TURN ON THE THROTTLE. AND LOOK TO SEE WHICK WAY YHT BLADES ARE TURNING? THE TOP BLADE TURN 'COUNTER CLOSEWISE" AND LOWER TURNS "CLOCKWISE"*******************
