This is not really a big issue, just more of a current handicap due to me getting used to the large heli/airplane Tx. But i was wondering if its possible to adjust the left stick on a Tx to make the throttle adjustment stiffer.. i spin around the room with a entry level blade cx2 and when i yaw, i usually end up cutting or applying throttle on accident.. any solutions or am i just clumsy.. just curious is all

You will overcome this problem as time (or practice) goes by. Before you know it you'll be spinning and, at the same time, making any needed throttle adjustments. Trust me on this.
You can practice this by runnining the blades at slow (no take off) speeds while making left-right inputs, with the left stick, until you notice little or no change in your throttle setting. The trick is to make very small, yet steady inputs. It also sounds to me like you are on the verge of flying the tail without even thinking about it.
P.S. You may want to consider looking at Blade CP prices at this stage. Good luck and good flying!

i tried out a collective pitch heli on the real flight g3 sim at my LHS... fell in love at first flight.. ive been tooting around alot with my cx2 and i now realize it is possilbe to overcome... thanks for the advice
!! itll still be a little bit before i go to a cp heli, but i was thinking a nitro t-rex if they make them..

I'm thinking of going with a nitro "T-Rex" sized heli myself. Just "gas and go" sounds pretty good due to the fact that I'm getting tired of charging batteries. No changes in trim settings, due to battery discharge, as well as the better stability and wind cutting offered by a larger and more powerful heli would be a benefit also. Another plus is that loss of orientation (at a distance) is also reduced with larger helicopters. I, however, will need much more practice (and money) before I move up to a larger heli.
