Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / October 2007Blade CX2
HI! What do you thing of the Eflyte Blade CX2? | What do you thing of the Eflyte Blade CX2? It's an excellent helicopter trainer. Very easy to fly, stable. It's likely to survive crashes without damage as long as you cut the power immediately (or add fuses) and if things are broken, they're cheap to replace. And parts are likely available at the local hobby shop. It can't handle any wind or turbulence whatsoever, so it's pretty much inside-only. Outside, even 2-3 mph wind is too much, and any turbulence will cause the dreaded `blade clash'. You'll outgrow it quickly, but it's still fun to toodle around the house even if you have outgrown it. Lots of people buy them and either outgrow them or decide that helicopters aren't for them and sell them used, so you can get them cheaply if you check the local craigslist or equivilent.

I've had mine awhile, and I don't see myself getting rid of it anytime soon. I've just got to where I can land it on a 1x1 foot square of my choice in a narrow hall, but it took some practice.. here's a spot for the blade cx/2 that I favorited a few months ago. I just got the xtreme 180 a/b motors, but I haven't installed them yet. I also had 2 dn power lipo packs, but both of them started swelling after 5 or 6 charges, so I don't recommend them.. I have a mega power pack on order. http://makatron.php0h.com One thing to note is that the extreme motors are for the esky lama, but they fit the blade cx2. This is making me wonder if I spent $100 more than I should have.. :/ I don't have a lama, so I can't compare.. marco <snip> > One thing to note is that the extreme motors are for the esky lama, but > they fit the blade cx2.

I thought about it, and it may not make sense, so: What I'm saying here is that the xtreme 180 a/b motors fit both the lama and the blade cx/cx2, and the lama chassis looks very similar to the cx/cx2, so I'm kind of wondering if the cheaper lama is what I should have gotten.. but I don't have one so I can't compare the two helis. http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_79&p roducts_id=1126 marco |
