RE: BLADE CX2
wadja need info on?
flight is quite easy with coaxials if they are tuned right, learn how to hover first with these, which is a breeze, but make sure you know what each stick does. if your mode two like us yankee's the right stick controlls left and right foward and back head tilt, and on the other stick it controlls left and right swing and throttle.
when flying make sure you stay in the same hight, this makes it much easyer to fly when learning, you will have to SLIGHTLY alternate throttle, give it little right foward stick with the tail pointing at you at first (eaiser for noobies) alternate throttle if nessisary, use the throttle stick to turn the craft around and try to bring it back with the nose pointing at you.
once you master foward flight, do some sideways flight by giving it right stick either left or right, then keep it in the same line by giving right stick foward or back if nessisary (most the time some foward or back movement is mixed in)
once you get that, try navagating trough the house alternating side in, nose in and tail in.
a important tip is to not change directions quickly while going fast, dont go foward and smack it backwards, the blades will hit and possibly break. also dont fly outside unless its DEAD!!
after this its time for some fancy moves, to do a banked turn you turn the right stick up (or back) with left or right movement with the same tail swing movement, the craft will lean into the turn and rapidly gain speed, this usually causes a power drop so cover the throttle stick.
then you can do a turn drift, you do the same as the banked turn, but you swing the tail opposet of the lean, it wil stay in the same line as foward but it wil turn at the same time, smack the foward stick to shoot across the room! you can do figure eights by simply doing a "8" using all banked turns.
more fancy stuff is like a move i call "swooping" you slide left and right or foward and back and raise and lower the throttle, this will make it dip and rise in the air, try to keep it in the same line, this takes throttle, tail, foward, back, and left and right to keep it nice. then after that you can do a check mark, start at a point in the air, dive sidways and raise sidways in a check mark pattern.
and if you love speed try this after your comfortible, start low then quickly give it maximum foward stick and throttle as soon as it starts to change direction, it will blaze across the room VERY rapidly, it will also rise but not as fast as normal, when stopping first power down throttle then let up on foward stick. if your not carefull, it will get blade strike (blades smack eachother).
and the hardest thing to do is to alternate orentations while keeping the same line and speed! it looks like the chopper is spining while moving foward!
have fun!

RE: BLADE CX2
I have found that with my CX2 after the "learning curve"...the stock skids are good enough. When comparing them with the stock skids from say a Honeybee, the CX2 skids are HEAVY DUTY.
