CX2 Servo Settings
Ok, someone help me out a little here, I've never owned a CX, only flown a buddies, and I never looked at the servos.
When I give full forward on the right stick, the CX2 just sort of "slides" forward. I have no forward nose down like my buds CX did.
What control horn slots are standard on the CX? I know he didn't move his, it was brand new out of the box, and I'd like this Heli to handle the same. Can't test ATM, as the LiPo is charging.
I'm assuming I need to move the CX2's arm down one or maybe two holes, can anyone confirm?
Oh -- PS
Do I need to move all three servos arms at the same time, the same distance? Or just the forward / rearward servo arm? I've never had to adjust anything on my other heli, servo adjustments on helis are new to me.

The horns use the second hole from the pivot screw. I don't think you can move the links without drilling larger holes in the servo horns.
From hover, to make mine go forward agressively, I give it forward and throttle at the same time. The speed change seems to assist in getting the flybar to tilt forward so the upper and lower rotor are both pulling forawrd. The lower rotor makes the heli move and the upper rotor resists. That's what makes this a good hover trainer. It takes some trickery to make the heli actually a performance heli.
Moving the links on the horns will probably lead to blade strikes (upper and lower blades hit each other.) When you give full stick inputs.
Was that worth anything?

RE: CX2 Servo Settings
The CX-2 comes with the servo pushrods in the first hole in the servo arm. Mine behaves nicely indoors and out with this arrangement.
On my CX- I'd moved the pushrod out one hole from the original position at the 2nd hole.
I've returned it to the 2nd hole after flying the CX-2.
Haven't had much of a chance to fly outside, but the CX-2 did work well outside.
Much wind at all is too much for these.
Getting them going fast can result in the blades striking each other.
Thump!

Tall One,
You always amaze me with your inputs, you are the heli guru.
Thanks for all your info.
