Hi everyone,   

                       I'm a new young member to this website and a beginner to the Blade CX2. This is my first heli and I need some help with it! I bought it about 3 weeks ago and my first problem is that the heli leans backwards by itself (even when not flying).  This is really annoying as when hovering the heli keeps moving backwards (the hose tilts backwards) and its hard to control it. 

              Secondly, the heli doesn't hover as high as it used to. When the left stick is all the way up it only hovers about 4 feet. I have no idea why this happens.

Any help or ideas will be useful. 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Hari.

There is a big Cx2 following on this forum, so if you re post it on the cx one be low this one you will get all the help you need, hope this will get you flying.

happy hovering Owen

The swash level is correctly in place but even without a battery it tilts backwards.

Thhanks for the help though Owen an Davies 

Without the battery, the balance will be all wrong!

I don't know the 'blade', as I don't have one, but ALL heli's should balance at the rotor shaft.  Turn the main blades so they are fore and aft. That puts the flybar paddles to left and right. Hang it from a loop of thread around the shaft, and the body should be level.

Lack of height while hovering can be many things, first off, charge the battery!

Second, have you damaged a battery cell, so you don't have enough volts? (The radio will still work, but there will be less power).

Third, have you damaged the blades by crashing into something? Chipped or cracked blades create more drag, which need more power to overcome.

Have you damaged the shafts, either the inner or outer, so that one is rubbing on the other?

Have the motors been overheated? This will weaken the permanent magnets, which causes a loss of power, as well!

Eric, just dangled my CX-2, mine will balance with or without the battery when dangled from the flybar so the battery must be central(ish) to the CoG, it must be something pretty fundemental as the body is very light weight, it balances without the body on just the same with or without the battery.

Hari, are you using a standard battery? If so is it going all the way to the stop at the front when you fit it?
