Depending on how many you`ll get the final price, plus postage, will vary. But for around $20 shipped it is enough inexpensive to worry if it crashes.
Its frame is fiberglass and the head and tail is made from plastic. And it is a V1 head, meaning it has 3mm feathering shaft, which is more expensive than a 4mm shaft.
Not much problem if you think that you get all those stuff for this price.

The problem with the Belt-CP or Blade 450 is not the RTF price. But the part`s prices.
As if you add all the electronics, battery, canopy, blades, etc, making this "$9" kit into an RTF then you`ll see that the Belt-CP is nicely priced.
The problem is the parts that cost a lot more.
Esky should had better prices.
E-flite should had way better prices than those they have now.

Status: offline 		Biker Dude thanks for the recomendation. I went with the EXI 450. You were right it has everything that I wanted to make mine into and it was about the same price. I had secretely been thinking that I would eventually have to switch to a differant frame. Don't worry though I still have a HBK to keep the esky blood there. Now hopefully it will arrive soon and I can start moving everything over and resetting all the linkages again. One thing that I have definately learned is how to set up my linkages. I have decided that I am better at fixing than flying so far.

That is a plus my dear Sir that is a plus

Status: offline 		Hi Petey, Glad to hear that. Just make sure that you Lock-tight EVERYTHING! they come put together but you will have to unscrew all the frame screws and lock-tight them. Once you get it all set up you will find it VERY stable in the air. I've flown mine in 14 mph winds with no problems.
Also...if you haven't got one on your Belt cp that you can swap over, get yourself an Align tail rotor as soon as you can. They are the best for the job. The EXI tail rotors are cheap and break after a while.

Status: offline 		Just got an email. My package should be here tomorrow. Unfortunately I wont be able to start the work on it untill thursday night. To much going on at work. I'm not in a huge hurry anyways my new gyro should be showing up later on in the week anyways. I will definately have to start with loc tite on everything. I learned that lesson early on when I spun up a new head and a screw flew out at 2/3 throttle. Never found it, but it did scare me bouncing all over the place. Now loc tite is never more than an arms length away when working on any bird.

Status: offline 		After so long time I finally started converting the Belt-CP V2 to CPX.
I hope I finish it soon.
I`ll use the V2 head although I have a couple CPX too. As I want to keep them as spare.
And I`ll use the DX6i radio. All other stock Esky.

I hope it gets in the air soon enough.

Status: offline 		Mine is almost switched over to CPX. I am just waiting on a new motor and ESC should be any day now. I used my HDX 450SE V5 head and tail and all my servos. Just got to checking my pitch last night and I am at -10 and +5. Got to check the settings on my DX6i and them possible adjust my head a bit. I do like the EXI frame. It was easy to put it all together. Hope to have it up and flying this weekend.

Status: offline 		I upgraded the Belt-CP V2 to CPX frame, kept the V2 head, and to an Orange RX610 so I can use my DX6i.
All other stock.
Did not made much effort on radio settings or fine tuning. Except of perfect swashplate leveling using both the subtrim and the "travel adjustment" on the DX6i.  I did not messed with the gyro gain or the tail slider at all. Just set it somewhere and flew it.

Pitch is +/- 7 degrees (as per manual and per it was before) and cyclic pitch is 4 degrees (but used 90 dual rates to start with).

I installed the white paddles and fins as I do not want to break the green or the blue ones. Later it will get cosmetic improvement.

Actually it is not set perfectly as I paid the least attention but still it seems it flies good considering it`s the maiden flight and that I`m not really experienced (10 attempts on CP birds generally).
I was nervous too and as well interrupted by people coming by or even cars...

Here it is:

Status: online 		Very Nice Sir very nice
That heli is very light and is a little hard to control. At the point you are at now you have hover just abut anything. Maybe some positive expo will help with the sensitivity of the heli. Also I don't know the pitch curve values you have but those must have been some real panic landings when interruptions were approaching. LOLNice flight.
Cheers
Philip
