Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

Wow got a blade for my birthday today and what a difference from the ole fixed pitch e-sky I have. I pulled it out of the box charged the battery, put her on the ground spun her up and off I went. I was amazed how stable this thing is, all it took was a few clicks of left and I was in a solid hover. On the ole fixed pitch e-sky forget about a good hover, I learned with it to just get up and start flying because there is no real stable hover. Not with the blade, this bird is amazing and a lot of fun. I flew her 5 times today and other then me losing orientation at about 6 feet and shutting her down, which broke one of the landing skid supports (already fixed with some pushrod tubing) this thing performed flawlessly.

I am sold, best electric heli for the money on the market. I am already thinking upgrades I wonder if I will lose the stable hover with the symmetrical blades. Those saying this isn't a beginner helicopter, I disagree the fixed pitch e-sky is the one that shouldn't be for a beginner. Guess the one positive is with me learning on it, makes the blade a piece of cake to fly. I haven't done much but run it around the yard and hover it but I am looking forward to getting the hop ups and learning some new trick stuff now!
