Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Just wanted to share this little bit of info.........

I am new to heli's. I have only flown one a couple of times on a sim. I purchased a BLADE CP right here on RCU. It came with the aero upgrade kit.

When it arrived, It sat for a few days. I finally got around to taking it out of the box the other night. First thing I did was fixed the sticky head issue. Second thing I did was installed the AERO kit.......double checked that I had proper control of everything and then checked the blade tracking.

Took it outside to the driveway yesterday morning to play with it. At just above half (still running the stock battery) throttle, it lifted off. I hovered it within a 6 or 7 ft radius of me and at one point I flew a circle with it. Never really got higher than 2 ft off the ground, but for the first flight I didn't feel like I needed to.

I must say I feel pretty good about it. Me being a HELI ROOKY and having a brand new bird, I would say things went really well!

ANY SUGGESTIONS ON OTHER ISSSUES THAT I SHOULD TAKE CARE OF WITH THIS HELI BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS? As I mentioned, I already fixed the sticky head issue
