    I had a brief flirtation with one of my past CX2's where I moved the linkage arm one hole further up the Servo Horn with disastrous results.

    When flying fast for a Contra Heli as soon as I bled off speed to turn the CX2 for a return pass the blades constantly struck, so within fifteen minutes and five busted blades I thought sod this, so I moved the linkage arm to it's original default hole and it was back to normal.

    I do enjoy going like a bat out of hell within the limitations of a Contra machine, using the Rudder to turn the machine for its return flight with almost constant full forward or reverse cyclic input and so on, and to this day I've never had a blade strike due to aggressive flying, personally I'd recommend someone to leave the arm in the hole as per arrival from the LHS.

    Speed & fun is still obtainable without moving the arm, however if you fined yourself wanting more, then training up to flying something like the Blade 400 will fulfill your cravings for faster exciting flying
