My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I know the feeling about not being stocked up on parts. I've gone through alot of woody's because I... for the longest time... was trying to fly in close quarters to things, like my fence, and inside my shop. Doesn't work too well. Now that I'm flying outside its a whole nother story. I think I might actually buy a set of plastic blades, just something a little more durable. My crashes are never that bad, and I've been flying in the grass, so they're very soft crashes. I've got one set of woody's left, as soon at they're gone, going plastic. I've got a complete head sitting here on backup if I should cause damage to it using the plastics. Too bad its a little too windy today.

I need one of those to fly in my office. Tried to fly my .90 in there but man is my wife pissed now!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Just started

Just started flying the CP, but love it already. Need some help though -

I bought a Blade CP from a friend at work who never used it recently and have been flying it for a few weeks now. About my only MAJOR complaint is the tail rotor and how I have to constantly trim it as I fly and the voltage decreases. In order to improve the tail, I bought a dual motor tail housing and installed it. Not only did the upgrade greatly affect the center of gravity, but it also fried the tail rotor portion of the 4-1 unit. The unit still works perfectly but there is no voltage going to the tail now.

What I was wondering is how is everyone else dealing with the CP's tail control, and, what can I do to improve mine? Do I need to abandon the stock 4-1 and go with separate everything so that I can use a heading hold gyro? Is there anything else that I can do?

I really like the Blade CP, but the tail problem is aggravating, to say the least. If I could get better tail control the little heli would be so much more fun to fly and I could do so much more with it.

Thanks and best regards,

Ricky

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Hi Texson,

I agree with you, the constant trimming of the tail is annoying. I went direct Drive. The CP Pro 2 is a direct drive tail so E-Flite must have learned something from the CP Pro. I am going to go separates once my 4-1 gives way. I did order a E-Flite 110 hh gyro for it as well for the future install. I would recommend going direct drive on the tail and try that out.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I Have 2 Blade CP's, 1 flyer & 1 for parts.
I have been very discouraged with this little copter right out of the boxes. I have thrown a real lot of money at it in the last couple years and I can hover and fly around a little but thats it. It always seems to be on the edge of out of control.

Just this past Sunday while tracking out the blades I almost lost my eye. I still do not know what hit me, I think it was the tail that went out of control. I am one lucky guy the eye specialist at the Emergency Room said. I will try to get a picture of my eye online, you can see the hit in a straight line.

Any tips on getting this little bugger straightened out with out spending another $1000.

I am thinking about just buying a CP PRO 2 for $225 and going from there and keeping the other mavhines for parts.

Thanks John. Currently Piloting Hirobo XRB Llama, SRB Quark & E-Flite mSR, 2 Blade CP,s

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I always wear eye protection while getting blades in track on the bench, hope you guys heed this warning. Stock Blade cps or cp pros need upgrades to get them to become stable. If you have a BCP you're going to need many upgrades including the Bell Hiller head. If you're a good mechanic, upgrade what you have to replicate the BCPP2. I did just that with my BCPP and am very happy with the result. Here's what I did to my stock BCPP: DD tail motor (I used a GWS but I like the eflite better) installed on the BCCP2 motor mount EFLH1321- Telebee HH gyro ($60)- BCCP2 main motor, that's the extent of the upgrade. I use the stock radio on this one and it works fine. The gain on the gyro is turned up all the way, there's a little wag but the tail holds really well. The entire upgrade package mentioned costs about $85.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Inkmann, sorry to hear about your eye. Its unfortunate that our hobby can be very dangerous. I originally bought a BCPP RTF, but it only took me about 2 weeks to figure out it was a dangerous machine. The stock transmitter would glitch so bad that if I put it down so I could reach for the heli and unplug it....it would fly up 5 feet on its own and slam back into the ground. Needless to say that one time was enough for me. I do not believe in the cheap junk transmitters they provide. That one was the 72mhz tx. I got rid of it for a DX6i.

If you look around though, I found my BCCP 2 on FleaBay from 'hobbi-mart' I think it was. They listed it as 'for parts' and it didn't have enough lift. ~80 bucks for it I think I paid. It arrived, I threw a battery in it, and it flew like a champ, brand new, and no issues except for the gyro was slow to warm up. This is the RTF version as well. The 2.4Ghz TX was a plus, as far as I can tell, its pretty much a rebadged cheap version of the DX6i. No glitches at all. Overall I really can't complain even if there was something wrong with it, 80 bucks for a 250 dollar heli is a hell of a deal. Hobbi-mart has tons of them listed as 'for parts' which are really minor issues. You could fix whatever is wrong with it and be good to go in a couple hours!

I need one of those to fly in my office. Tried to fly my .90 in there but man is my wife pissed now!
