dooleyje,
Sweet, I just checked out Heli Bros, (ushobbiessupply wouldn't come up for me)but that's just what I was looking for.
Have you purchased from them your self? I like the price and will surely be ordering one in the next day or two but it's always nice to hear someone tell you how they are to deal with.
Regardless, I still have more faith in any US store before I'd go overseas again.
Thanks again and wish me luck,
Rob.

i bought mine from heli bros..steve was responsive to a couple of emails before i made the purchase, and i had it in a few days...would definitely recommend them. I flew the p___ out of it during the summer, banged it up a few times, and it i slowly becoming an align heli, but the all the major parts are still cx, and they work just fine.

Paul,
Thanks for the feed back on Heli Bros. I always like to hear something good about a seller before I buy due to a bad experience with Ehirobo.
I already have a Walkera DF 60-B and a Trex 450 SE-V1 but the 60 has become a money pit and I've decided to take all my electronics off of it and switch over to the CX. I guess the Trex showed me that you don't have to fix something every time the bird leaves the ground.
Thanks again for the feed back, I'm sure I'll be ordering one today and hope to see it by the end of the week, first of next week by the latest.

I am sorry the address was wrong. It is www.ushobbysupply.com. I have ordered from both places with fast response. I ordered my CXSEV2 on Friday and it was at my door on Monday. Mike is the best in service.

Thanks again Jim,
I may just keep the blue canopy, it's my favorite color and my Trex has the black CF (look) canopy so I'm used to the dark color. Although I have a second canopy for my rex that is a Proline custom vynal graphics covered and looks nice as well.
But if I change my mind,,, where did you find the sweet white, purple & red canopy?
Here's a shot of my Proline canopy

Cool, thanks, and thanks. I'll look into that.
Just looked at heli bros and they must not have the canopy you mentioned any more. They have three different blue ones but none with the colors you mentioned. That's ok though, I like the blue.

Got my CPX today. I'm working on putting it together now. I've had time to inspect all the parts and all seems to be in order. I'm only the head and gears away from having the kit it's self together and then it's on to the heli that I'm sacraficing to build this one. Once I strip the electronics from it I should have it flying in no time. Looking forward to getting it off the ground.
