Default 3D_Kid Bought a Blade CP Pro!

I couldn't resist, a friend let me try his, and it was fun and amazing, so just today, I bought one as well; I also bought flat-bottomed blades to make it a little more easier for learning. Might post pics later. Thanks, Ken.

Carefull running the flat bottom blades on the stock motor and lipo. You will want to change out to a 8tooth motor.

Default Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!

Ok, first flight went ok, It was a new experience for sure. I hit a couple of times, and I already need the big gear at the bottom. The gear is really wobbly because it is plastic, and since its wobbly, then the blades are out of track as well. I wander if anyone makes a replacement gear that is metal? Thanks.

Help! Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!

Here's some pics, the second one shows the gear, this gear wobbles alot while its rotating fast, making the blades wobble, and hard to fly. Any suggestions? I don't want to buy another cheap plastic one either, is there an aftermarket metal one? Thanks, Ken.

When you say you had a couple hits do you mean it crashed? That main gear does not look right at all. I think you may have a bent main shaft.

The gear is fine, but the gear wobbles like crazy. Do you think I should get te Microheli Co. replacement gear and shaft? There stronger big time.

Default Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!

Just flew again, I found a new method of flying the sticks, All my life I've been using my thumbs to control my models, but now for helis, I have discovered the "pinching" the sticks method. I seem to be more accurate this way. I also added a set of flybar weights (wheel collars lol) against the paddle bars, and as a result, it is easier to fly. Thank, Ken.

The charger that is included with the blade has really short leads (like 5"), so I made the charge leads longer, and it has worked great!
