    Have to confess it's not much on looks, but from a couple of vids on YT it does exactly what it says on the can....

      Good old Elite Models, who else....Those would go great with E-flites new blade CNC upgrades, but don't people go for those Extreme blades that are a few mm shorter in length for outdoors flying so to eliminate breeze lift?

      But I'd guess for a beginner there'd be super, and after the first hand cost of the alloy upper rota holders, it would pay of in next to no time for busted blades etc.

      I know a bit more weight shortens the flight time, but with CX2 batts available for £6, a little added weight stability isn't a bad thing, but tbh I love how she flys now.

      Yesterday I had to do a P/pot correction, and when I mean a nano micron of an adjustment that's all it took to stop a bit of right nose drift which happens during half way through a batt cycle, but I'm looking forward to connecting my new DX6i to my CX2, maybe you could give me a few pointers later on what you found best, if you wouldn't mind.

        I'll have to take a gander, it would be good to see a size scale comparison, cheers J.

          I think it's about the same size as the Skylift/Chinook, but much larger dia. rotors, I think she has a foot and a half rotor diameter. So blades are large enough to handle wind. How much wind is another matter but bet it's more than the Skylift LOL

          On the downside it's come out and is only 35mhz, so would cost me almost as much as Blade 400 anyway I don't do 35mhz anymore, least not if I can help it.

            Just so you know she's 440mm long, and 445 rotor diameter.

            That's a pretty decent size for a coax.

            For those of you like me who want that in real money it's a tad over 17 inches.
