OK, I flew it some more, and it is so fun and amazing! The not so amazing part was when I turned the transmitter off first, and it revved up and the blades hit the concrete. The flat-bottomed blades are now ruined because of this mishap; now I'm putting on the symmetrical blades. Thanks, Ken.

I went from a CP Pro to a TREX 450. Much happier now. The CP Pro is a lot of fun, but I just suck with it.

Dangit! Stupid concrete ruined my symmetrical blades too (diff reason this time, WIND) now, I'm bladeless. I really hope I don't have to spend a crap load of money on more blades.

Anybody have a link to those one kind of blades that don't break as easy? I saw them on a video, the guy referred to them as crash proof, maybe there plastic? Thanks!

Right, I agree, but I need those "plastic" blades that are supposedly better. If my LHS doesn't carry them, then I'll have to get some on line.

Just got a replacement main gear and shaft, and some symmetrical blades, and this thing flies better. I still need to adjust the proportional pot though because it either goes to the left or right. I can't seem to get it adjusted so the nose stays put.

You never really will..... just get it close and fly the tail.....


the only way it will "hold" is if you add a seperate gyro, the stock one (built into the 4 n 1)drifts all the time

Anyways, now The rear motor will not spin at all! I didn't hit it or crash it or anything! I checked the leads by the motor with a voltmeter, and I'm reading voltage back there. Maybe the motor is fried? Maybe the little capactior is fried? Either way, I'm calling Horizon tomorrow to see If I can get a free replacement; there's no way I should have to pay for that little motor already, and especially if it was not my fault!

OK, Horizon is sending me oout a new tail motor. He said they normally don't do this, because the motors count as wear damage. He said it happens from the tail blade hitting grass.
