Product Description

The Blade CX2 takes the excitement and beginner-friendly flight stability of the original Blade CX and adds Spectrum 2.4GHz DSM radio control that lets you fly anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about interference. Its 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.

Customer Reviews

Fairly cool
This is a fairly cool little toy to play with, much easier to control than the cheaper ones. I got the the point I could just throw it about at will. The replacement blades are 4 for a dollar, so you don't worry much about breaking them. Mostly I just had to replace broken blades, one main gear, and the landing gear. Over all, I'd say it's fun to play with and fairly rugged.

The down-side is that you won't learn anything about flying a single-rotor RC helicopter from these. The flight behavior is completely different. Coaxes are inherently stable, and they don't bank to move, and most importantly, they stop moving when you let go of the stick. A single rotor will flip over and crash in a heartbeat, something that's impossible with a coax.

Also, this manufacturer has replaced this one with a much cheaper model.

weak chopper
The landing skids are so weak and break easily. The tips of the upper and lower main blades need to be strengthened for redesign.

Great indoor chopper
The blade cx2 is a great helicopter for beginners. It is easy to learn how to fly and is very responsive to control inputs while still maintaining stability. I also bought the sh-60 seahawk body which looks realistic and doesn't affect performance. I would also buy extra blades because you are bound to break them sometime. This is a great chopper.
