Product Description:

The flight experts have done it again. The Blade® CX3 RTF gives pilots unbelievable micro-heli excitement. The CX3 includes a radio system equipped with Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM2™ technology in the LP5DSM transmitter and Spektrum AR6100e receiver, providing 5-channel control with interference-free flying. It’s covered with an attractive police trim scheme.

Just like its predecessor, the Blade CX3 offers first-time heli pilots exceptional stability and incredible control through the coaxial, counter-rotating head design and 3-in-1 control unit. In addition, this CX3 also features two feather-light S60 Super Sub-Micro servos that provide full cyclic movement of forward, backward and side-to-side maneuverability. The Blade CX3 also includes a heading lock gyro to provide better control and locked-in performance. As with other co-axial Blade helicopters, no flying experience is required to begin your heli flight with the Blade CX3. This indoor helicopter is 100% factory-assembled, test flown and ready to fly out of the box, no assembly or setup required—and nothing left to buy. The Blade CX3 is the first coaxial heli to incorporate a heading lock gyro, a Spektrum DSM2 2.4GHz radio system and a scale body all in one convenient ready-to-fly package.

Product Details:

• Advanced 3-in-1 control unit including main motor ESCs, mixer and heading lock gyro
• The heading lock gyro in the CX3 offers incredible hold and control to maximize your flight experience.
• Product Dimensions: 23.5 x 10.2 x 8 inches ; 4.8 pounds

The transmitter requires 4 AA batteries and these are also found in the box and take just a few seconds to install.  The transmitter in the RTF (Ready to Fly) model is pre-programmed for the Blade CX3 so once the batteries are installed, most of the hard work is done. The Blade can be flown comfortably indoors in even modest size rooms.  A large area such as a school gym or enclosure will give you enough room. The Blade CX2, and this new one, the CX3 are very stable and very easy to learn.

Another durable heli. The propeller blades on this Air Hog are jointed at the hinge, so they give when they come into contact with something. So  even if you broke a blade or two off the hinge and easily snapped it right back into place. It also comes with a pair of replacement blades should you need them.

It’s easy to operate, though it takes a while to get a hang of the controls precisely. I was extremely surprised at how powerful and maneuverable it is. The battery with this micro helicopter when fully charged, will last you about 10-15 minutes, and will recharge again within half an hour. When the battery’s drained because you start to lose altitude and maneuverability. If you are looking for something for the kids to play with too this is by far one of the better toy helicopters to try.

RTF in the product name really means “Ready-To-Fly”. All you have to do is take it out of the box and charge the battery up to full. It’s not fast, but it isn’t supposed to be. One of the best features of this helicopter is the dual rate function of the remote. And the reason is it functions as a type of governor on the controls to allow you to get used to flying. By default the remote is set on a high rate, which means there is no governor. By pressing down on the right stick, the control speeds are cut in half, allowing for much easier control for the beginner flyer.

The most frustrating part is the battery. It takes approx. 20 min. to charge for a 6-8 min. flight time. We recommend buying a couple of extra batteries for this one.

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. 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.

Product Details:

• Product Dimensions: 22.6 x 9.8 x 7.5 inches ; 4.4 pounds

Everything you need to fly is already built, and all you have to do is take the helicopter out of the package.  Since this helicopter is designed to have two coaxials it makes flying much easier for beginners because the dual rotors make the setup more stable. After charging the battery, learning to fly the Blade CX2 was relatively easy. Spending the time to propperly trim in the Blade will do wonders for learning how to fly.

Remember this helicopter is a hobby grade helicopter and will take some practice to get used to flying it.  We also reccomend buying at least one pack of upper and lower blades if not 2 packs of upper blades and one pack of lower blades, as you WILL crash while learning. A spare battery is also a good investment to keep downtime to a minimum.

For beginners we also recommend buying the landing guide accessory for more stable landings during training.
