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.

Re: 3D_Kid bought a Blade CP Pro.
You'll like it a lot, I was scared when I first flew it, but its way easy to fly.

Re: 3D_Kid bought a Blade CP Pro.
Carefull running the flat bottom blades on the stock motor and lipo. You will want to change out to a 8tooth motor.

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.

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.

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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.

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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.

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.

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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!

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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.

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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.

Re: Bought a Blade CP Pro!
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.
