Blade CX2

The new E-flite Blade CX2 takes all of the beginner-friendly flight stability qualities of the original E-flite Blade CX, and combines it with the fantastic new Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM radio control system, allowing you to fly anywhere, anytime without ever having to worry about interference. It’s the first ready-to-fly RC helicopter of any kind to come with this contemporary, state-of-the-art 2.4Ghz technology.

The E-flite Blade CX2 comes as a complete ready to fly package and includes a Li-Po battery pack, and a dedicated Li-Po charger that can be used either as a 240 volt DC mains charger for use at home, or as a 12volt Li-Po charger for use at the flying site. In addition, the four in one Electronic control system has been updated with improved gyro and tail control that gives the Blade CX2 improved tail response while minimising drift. The contra rotating main blades make the E-flte Blade CX2 very easy to fly, as they cancel out the normal torque reaction encountered in single blade helicopters, allowing the pilot to concentrate on the flying and not on countering the side yaw as the throttle is opened or closed.

The two pre-installed feather-light S60 super sub-micro servos provide powerful and precise cyclic control. To compliment this easy to fly helicopter it comes with an aggressive pre-painted, light-weight body design that looks fantastic in flight and is unlike anything else out there, and if that is not enough for you, E-flite offers a range of aluminium upgrade parts, and different pre-painted body shells, including a Police or Marine version.

Why two rotors?   Control
 
The Blade CX2’s coaxial, counter-rotating blades cancel out the rotational torque that makes hovering a conventional heli so difficult for first-time pilots. They also make rudder turns much easier by simply slowing one blade or the other without sacrificing any of the inherent stability. This truly is a heli just about anyone can fly, right out of the box.   The four in one control unit houses both the Spektrum receiver along with all of the motor controls and gyro and has now been updated with improved gyro and tail control that gives the Blade CX2 improved tail response while minimising drift.
