Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

The more I fly this thing, the better it gets.

The stock battery doesnt last very long. About 8-10min. Get a 3cell lipo and it will fly much longer. Take breaks though because the motors will get warm after about 10min or so.

The radio it comes with is a pretty nice radio. Nice sticks and a nice feel. I dont care for the ratchet throttle stick though.

The thing handles the wind pretty good. Its still blowing a gale outside, but the heli doesnt seem to care.

This thing rocks.

Oh and one more thing. The heli doesnt have a low voltage cutoff for lipos, so when it starts slowing down....STOP FLYING. and go recharge the batteries or you risk ruining a lipo.
I think I am going to order a Bell 222 Lexan body and attempt to modify it for the Blade CP. This thing would look sweet with a scale fuselage on it.
