Crazy Hobbies
Has anyone purchased a BLADE CX2 electric helicopter,made by E-flite? Any problems would be appreciated.?
I purchased 2 of these at $189.00 a piece, and both burned up in one week . I only flew them about 2 hours each. They never crashed just burned of copter circuit board at start up. Any problems to share I would like to here. The manufactor is HORIZON HOBBY. Thanks.

- yes i have one. i work at the local hobby shop. we had some issues with this heli. we contacted horizon hobby and basically we found out that the boards will fry underload. meaning if the heli crashes while still underpower or even if it doesnt full out crash, just tips over while powering up. buuuut we also found out that some of the boards are defective and i personly have seen one fry while it was flying. so if you didnt crash then you probubly got very unlucky and both have bad circuit boards. there are two ways to go about getting them fixed. one way is to send them to horizon hobby which will take like 3 weeks to get it back. and they will not just send you a new board, they have to check the heli out for any crash damage to determine if the heli was crashed or not. the eaiset way is to take bring it back to where you bought it and get it replace throught them. horizon lets us replace time for free and we decide weather or not the heli crashed. if we dont think it did we simply order a new one for the costemer which only takes about two days, and put the new one in for them. buuut if you bought it on line and have to send it to horizon make sure you argue to get a call tag so you dont have to pay for shipping. they will most of the time pay for you shipping it too them but they never offer it and sometimes you kinda got to hammer them for it. hope this helps!
