General Consensus on Blade CX2

[wazzer]

Hi Folks

What is the general consensus about the E Flite Bade CX Contra Rotating Heli? I am considering buying the new CX2 as a first Heli for basic hover training.

This is a first Heli and i want to learn Hovering in all orientations (not inverted obviously!!) plus foward and backward flight.
Also have Reflex that working out quite well but want to have a real Heli to Fly.

Please tell me if this seems like a good idea as they seem pretty good value for money.


Many thanks

It will be fine as an entry into RC helicopters to learn the basics on . These have the 2.4Ghz radio I think, which I like, and are capable of good forward and backwards flight unlike some of the other contrarotating heli's out there.
Hope you get the bug and advance in the hobby, good luck.

I *LOVE* my CX2

The only thing I would advise is to fly in as much space as possible, because you'll chip blade a lot otherwise.

Also, move the control horns out one, and get the sterman boom and skids kit. It'll fly like a different heli.

Seriouly, this is an awesome piece of kit
