I just bought a Blade CX today. I have had airplanes but this is my first heli. I can fly it allright but it rotates to the left slow and to the right fast? Is there anyway i can fix this. I tryed the search but couldn't find anything.
Thanks

Anybody?

On mine, depending on how the trim for the "rudder" is set, determines how fast it spins one direction v.s. the other. Since the trim changes during the flight, I've just learned to live with it. It's now a "feature"

Yea I just learned to deal with it. Thanks.

Try drilling tiny holes in the 4 in 1 reciever case.The air flow cools it off.Also try coloring the motors with a black magic marker and cut a hole in canopy right above the 4 in 1 and below it ..thats how i fixed mine..Fuseboxxx

Gage.

Does anyone have a tip on how to get the stabilizer on? I can only get one of the knobs into place the other one never wants to fit. I would really hate to break it before i fly it.

does the CX have a tail motor?

The Blade CX does not have a tail rotor. It is a coaxial model.

Other RC Models with a coaxial rotor configuration include:

MTC 9503 Horse Fly
Co-Co Lama CoAxial Contra Rotator
BladeRunner

You can read about the real Russian Ka-50 Black Shark which uses the coaxial rotor design.

Sikorsky is planning a Coaxial model to overcome speed limitations due to Dissymmetry of Lift and Retreating Blade Stall.

It's hard to get the flybar in but ya just gotta keep tryin'..

I too learned this weekend that splitting the ESC and drilling tiny holes on the top and bottom will eliminate the tail rotor changing during flight after you have it all trimmed out. Supposedly this is due to the over-heating. I guess from what I was told all you have to due is split the ESC and then re-tape it when done drilling the holes in the plastic covering. I myself am not daring enough to try this. Although drilling holes in the canopy on top and bottom, I am willing to try.

Well my buddy and I both removed the 4-in-1 case all together and the trim still changes a bit during flight. Heck it even changes from 1 flight to the next. Maybe it's a cooling issue, but I am not convinced since I have flown it several times without the case on the 4-in-1, without the canopy and in 20 degree F temps and still the trim changes. Truth is I don't even notice that I am holding the tail a bit unless I think about it, you get used to it.
