Auto Credit Based on AeroEngineering's Blade Cx2 Wip

This Chopper was requested by KevinMurphy 2 months ago, probably should have finished it sooner, Oh well…

Make sure you read the instructions and builders notes.

The Blade CX2 is an updated Blade CX with the most current technology built in. The new Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM radio leaves you with no need to worry about interference. The updated 4-in-1 control unit gives you even better response time with minimized drifting. A brand new body design makes this beginner indoor R/C helicopter a must have. Don't worry about flying this indoor r/c helicopter into a wall of your home as replacement parts are inexpensive and easy to install.
Blade CX2 Features:
Ready to Fly - Factory Tested
2-cell 7.4V 800mAh Li-Po Battery
Feather Light Servos
Li-Po Battery Charger
Instructional DVD
Great First R/C Helicopter
Interference Free R/C Transmitter

Copied and Pasted from http://blade-cp-pro.com/blade-cx2.htm

Controls:
Throttle is Cyclic
VTOL up controls engine power
AG1 starts a hidden engine that provides forward motion

Builders notes:
Roll and pitch are a bit odd when hovering or at low speeds, but when you have forward motion it works just fine for me.
Autopilot can learn to fly this thing after about 15 minuets
Do not extreme maneuvers or put VTOL and Cyclic to high, it has a tendency to explode when you do that
Enjoy your flight, and an armed version is coming soon!

    @AeroEngineering Just contemplating some life changes is all. I haven't really felt that spark of creativity in while either. I am on the site almost daily though.

    This is the best helicopter I've flown in SP. I was amazed to see how you made the rotor head work like an actual swashplate assembly. As a helo bubba, I'm impressed! I threw a rocket pod on the starboard wing mount and a gun on the port, fun doing runs on the ships :P Main complaint was lack of yaw control - added an RCN on each side of the tail fin to fix it, problem solved!
