Kevin Davies 2 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 hi Owen yeah everythings o.k with helis both cx2 are fine but since totally modding one its totally different to fly very twitchy a bit slower more of a challenge. the 400 is still boxed cant seem to sell it despite the low price. my fp is grounded waiting for parts from H.K my robins got a new 4n1 from H.K. failed first flight sent it back but due to the olympics customs are holding everything back so just got to wait. plus the foul weather isnt helping. hope things are o.k. with you Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Davies 2 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 hi guys got out today first time for 10 days both cx2s going really well the modified ones a real handful turned the gain down which helped buts its twitchy needs very small inputs makes the standard one seem very tame got through 6 batts.the standard one still climbs faster though. all batts on charge ready for later. no wind at all today so take advantage. away on hols. next week so out as much as pos.

Simon Robinson Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Kevin, you was luck to get out and fly though six batteries. Hope to get out this weekend as well as race my buggy around (which i have when its too windy to fly). I noticed with mine from time to time it is a bit twitchy and then it settles down. Sometimes I find its the servo arms twitcing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Davies 2 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 hi simon. yeah at last! as i said both mine ars good now its like having 2 different helis. ive had to turn the gain back quite a bit on the one with 180 motors as the tail was quivering, more torque from the motors i suppose. ive got 6 batts to charge before i get back out. i just got 2 from Budget R/C £5.99 each they go for about 10 mins good value. my nephew races buggies and touring cars just got a new pred from u.s.a. £200 gone brushless 3 new li-pos £210 but he is serious or mad. Good flying. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Robinson Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Just thinking, another reason why you maybe adjusting the gain between batteries, I noticed on my Blade between two E-Flight batteries that each one was different and changed how the helicopter performance. I had to adjust the gain slightly on each battery. Maybe the heli is effected by slightly different power output? Just some think to think about.....

B O Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm a new young member to this website and a beginner to the Blade CX2. This is my first heli and I need some help with it! I bought it about 3 weeks ago and my first problem is that the heli leans backwards by itself (even when not flying). This is really annoying as when hovering the heli keeps moving backwards (the hose tilts backwards) and its hard to control it. Secondly, the heli doesn't hover as high as it used to. When the left stick is all the way up it only hovers about 4 feet. I have no idea why this happens.Any help or ideas will be useful. Thanks in advance!!!

Simon Robinson Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hiya, I flown my blade this morning and noticed that the servo for pitching the aircraft forward and back is twicting? I saw it happening when I hovered the heli and looked at it from behide. Any ideas why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Robinson Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I took in to work and there is none of the above. Transmitter battery is reading 4.7V. I will have to keep my eye on it and see how it goes when I re charge the batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Reeves Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi guys,Having been given a CX2 for Christmas, i have found that I can only get the thing to hover about two inches off the ground. I have tried 3 different 2s lipos, all give the same performance (poor). Any ideas?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hailey Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hi PhilYou may find it is a case of making shore the pitch is wright on the top blades as all cx helis suffer with this problem from time to time to do this you need the heli totaly leavel and the fly bar level and if you look at the blades thay sould be sloped back not follward if not ajust the link this may help.Happy hovering Owen.

Phil Reeves Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks for the info Owen, had another look at it last night and i still cant understand how my Son and I missed the problem, especially as we both fly Raptors!!!!.The top rotors have been fitted with two different blades, meaning that one has its trailing edge facing forward so the only lift i was getting was from the lower rotor. Ho hum, lesson learnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
