Here is a tip for the Eflite Blade CX2 owners.  Make sure when you turn on the transmitter
to let it run through its cycle, you will know it is done when the red LED is not flashing and
has gone to a solid light.  On the heli end there is also a procedure to follow.  Once you
plug in the battery on the heli, you do not want to move it until the green LED on the 4 into
1 (3 into 1, if you have a newer CX2) is done flashing and goes to solid.  The reason for not
moving the heli is to allow the gryo to run through its test cycle.  If a red LED continues to
flash check that your throttle and throttle trim are in the full down position.

Hope that this tip will be helpful to everyone.  Till next time keep her straight and narrow.
