I was told to do that by the tech guy at horizon, He said" put the travel adj to 125% on the forward only" I have not had a problem with mine yet and I fly the Cr$# out of it. I just put the glow in the dark parts on it man it is so cool to turn off the lights and fly it. I am going to the AMA show and horizon will be there and I will ask them again.But hobby town said then same thing about the Epa adj. and the link is gone it was a news letter I get from e-flight and I forgot that? Duh
That will help but there's more you can do if you're not using the stock transmitter and have something like a DX7:

You can also add weight to the nosee but I don't like making the mCX heavier if at all possible.

Blade mCX Parts Availability
It has been since mid-November and still no parts. I understand that this is a popular aircraft and Christmas happened but WHAT'S UP?
I'm going to the hobby store today, again, but they've been out of stock since mid-November.

The parts shortage:
- upper main blade
- flybar
- inner shaft / flybar holder

Caltrop,
I was able to order replacement upper/lower blades and a flybar from www.redrockethobbies.com. Try there and see if they still have some in stock.

I just went to HobbyTown yesterday and NO FLYBARS! They told me Horizon is out of them. I also checked Horizon online and they are out until they get more in and they don't know when that will be.
This is a nation wide shortage folks. Some lucky hobby stores still have some in stock but that will not last long. I suggest that if you can find flybars & upper blades that you get a spare set.

It still appears by their website that www.redrockethobbies.com has the flybar and upper/lower blades in stock.

the only time I have had to replace the flybar is because I lost it after breaking the inner shaft....
I have had to buy 3 inner shafts though!!! all of them my fault for trying to fly beyond the limits of the heli...
Well.... one was Liquidity's fault for knocking me out in combat....

Finally got a flybar and took the scew out. I managed to get the hub/shaft repaired with some plastic epoxy. Still no shafts yet.
That flybar mod really works. I was chasing the cat and... just snap it all back together and you're up again.
Now I need to get some of those better batteries. The 130mAh off brand.

We have the batteries, but if you give me a day I will have the fly bars too. They have been shipped to me and should be here tomorrow. I will be putting the mCX parts on the web site tomorrow night.

Even though it says Priority, we're mailing these batteries First Class. Couldn't see charging 5+ dollars to ship a $10 battery.
Thanks,

Did you use Nicolas Cage from "Vampire's Kiss" on your main page's animated graphic?
