Overview
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.

I ordered one from my LHS and they said by the end of november, hopefully before Thanksgiving. I actually was about to buy the CX and then saw the CX2 on E-Flites web site. Anyway, today I found one on ebay as a pre sale for when this store in nebraska gets it, it might take a few days longer but no sales tax. I already bought the alum main shaft, motor heat sinks and trainer gear off ebay for it. I used to fly a Lite Machines Corona 120 but couldnt make the time for it. Looking forward to using this when I get bored at work and at home. Who says paramedics dont know how to have fun.
