I've seen a few reviews here that talk about moving the servo rod out to make this heli fly faster. Can anyone elaborate on how to do this?

When facing the plane on the right side is the only servo on it. Remove the cockpit section. Disconnect the servo arm from the blade assembly first, then remove the arm from the 2nd hole and put it in 1st outer most hole. Reattach to the blade assembly and you are done.

Yeah I read that too. So I did it. It flies in a light breeze better and it's also faster. It was easy to do too.

Mode 2 give you a higher throw rate. The heli is more responsive and responds more aggressively in mode 2. Try pitching the blade to the left or right all the way on the ground and then hit mode 2. You will notice the blade moves a hair farther. Hope that helps.

I believe you do. I tried it with just the main and the brush (regular) motor could not stabilize the heli.

simple. Your power is weak. Change the batteries with new good batteries. A friend of mine had a similar problem and once we changed to new good batteries it flew flawlessly. Smooth copter handles easy.

The msrx is much quicker than the 120sr... definitely will entertain you and improve your reflexes. You could also consider a nano cpx, which is similarly quick and has the added benefits of a collective heli. I have a 120sr bnf, msrx rtf, and nano cpx bnf. I'm still practicing good coordinated turns, no inverted stuff yet, but I like the way the nano flys the best.

I could never get mine to fly at all. One of the motors only spins up intermittently causing the craft to invert and crash. Just got it a few weeks ago but never got it to work.

i have had troubles also binding with the heli. dont be in direct line with it. move away and face away from the heli,then move throttle up and down. that work everytime for me.

With the control sticks in a neutral position, does the helicopter hover steady or does it moves backwards? If it moves backwards, then the controls need adjusting. If it hovers steady, then something is wrong with the controls and I suggest returning it.

make sure all controls are at neutral. swatch plate is level to both heli center lines. check tail rotor plug in at front of heli, if it still goes into a spin and the tail rotor is barely turning, it most likely needs a new tail motor.

I agree w/ another comment about Throttle Curve; make sure you have the radio's parameters dialed in with the 300X. Also sometimes after I experience radio/ electronic anomalies I re- bind my DX6i w/ the heli just to make sure that link is secure ~ you also can look on YouTube & possibly see a vid with an experience similar/ ballparky/ or even identical to yours

After turning the remote on and plugging in the red power cord to the Heli. Slowly flip the left control stick all the way up and down one time to activate the remote. Hope that helps??

Surprisingly so! I have had zero experience prior to this with a CP heli, so I have crashed just about every flight. I have also already ordered about $20 in replacement parts but I can still fly while waiting for them (I broke the swashplate, landing gear, and the rear fin but was able to fix them with some Krazy glue and keep flying in the meantime). It's taken me a bit to get the hang of it,but it is a fun, fast (sometimes squirly) heli that I plan to take me away from fixed pitch. But I've had probably 50 crashes (not all horrible) and I'm still flying with some makeshift repairs while I wait for permanent parts. Surprisingly so!

are there other small, easy (ie. for YOUNG boys) heli's that offer longer flight time? 6 min is so very short! If i bought additional LiPo batteries so that i could immediately insert for more run time....how could i charge it (since it seems to have "built in" charge)r?

On the throttle control is a nut where the control pivots. Loosen the nut, but do not remove it. This will allow the throttle to move freely. At one end of the throttle is the red knob. On the opposite end has a hole in the plate near the recoil springs. In that hole is where you put the throttle cable termination clamp. Then anchor the cable cylinder to the affixed stand that is near the springs. That will hold your cable in place. Caution about go arts!! Remember to have a peddle governor or throttle low to manage the speed. This baby will fly if you let it!!

The battery might be off center making it lean forward or backwards. Try adjusting the battery so that it keeps tue heli level.

turn transmitter off. Insert battery in heli. Make sure throttle is in lowest position. Turn on transmitter light on heli after a few seconds will stop blinking. I have 3 of these heli's. For some reason one works this way. Turn transmitter on with throttle in lowest position. Plug battery in heli light will blink and then finally stop blinking it is ready to fly. If none of these procedures work send it back nothing else you can do.

It depends how you fly the heli. If you fly aggressively, expect 5-7 minutes or so. If you fly conservatively and hover, move around in circles, etc. then you're looking at more like 6-9 minutes. This thing flies fantastic outside too!! Doesn't go all over the place like the CX2/3 did. I was able to fly it outside in a very subtle wind and control it really well.
