Blade CX2 RTF Electric Coaxial Micro Helicopter

Product Description
The Blade CX2 takes the excitement and beginner-friendly flight stability of the original Blade CX and adds Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM radio control that lets you fly anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about interference. It’s the first ready-to-fly RC aircraft of any kind to come with this extraordinary technology built in. In addition, the 4-in-1 control unit has been updated with improved gyro and tail control that gives the Blade CX2 even better tail response while minimizing drift. Two feather-light S60 Super Sub-Micro Servos provide powerful, precise cyclic control. Topping it all off is an aggressive new body design that looks fantastic in flight and is unlike anything else out there. When it comes to micro heli fun everyone can enjoy, you simply can’t beat the value and performance of the Blade CX2.

Customer Reviews
Don't Fly to High As most of the other reviewers have said this is a real fun little helicopter to fly. It is quite stable and easy to fly but just a word of caution. Don't try and fly it to high. First my wife and then myself have climbed it to see how high it would fly but if it get to high the motors just stop as if you have turned it of. This results in the inevitable long vertical descent and crash with substantial amounts of damage.
Very good purchase, the kids and I love it! FUN! a little stressful at first but with minimal effort both my self and my son were able to get it to hover 5 feet off the ground and control it. Educational? well... yes it is. The eye-hand coordination of my son (age 12) is a challenge. So for that it has been therapeutic. He has also taken an interest in what makes things fly and has been reading motivated by the RC chopper. Then he is learning about the chopper itself, mechanical, electronics etc... Durability was an issue out of the box. Go visit your local hobby store and buy some upgrades like the aluminum counter balance for the rotor tops. We spent an extra $75 in parts after flying it a few days. Buy extra rotor blades as well. The alternate brand blades we bought seem to hold up much better than the originals, more flexible. Overall, great purchase would do it again.
New Pilot? Start with the CX2 As usual, E-flite makes great products. Plenty of repair parts available!! Enjoy this Heli!!
