RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP
WOW this sounds really awesome Jason. I'm sure Eflite had absolutely NO IDEA what they were going to really cause with the release of the Blade CP. The success of this little heli is just phenominal. I'm starting to ditch my original thought of getting a T-Rex to upgrade from this little machine because of all the incredible support and new upcoming parts!
Question for ya though, although I'm sure you've heard it before: is there going to be some way for users to go brushless with their Blade CP's? I'm not necessarily advocating a "brushless 4-in-1 upgrade kit", in fact I would be content just to have a specialized brushed tail motor controller that got power off of the main battery somehow (maybe a pass-through connector that also connects the main motor speed controller to the battery as well) and some sort of interface that allows a gyro to be used, similar to what's already in place on the 2-in-1 unit.
Would you have any suggestions on going brushless? The main issue for me (I've already swapped out the radio system for a JR 6102 and RS6UL setup and a 2-in-1 for the motors) is not a problem with the main motor brushless setup, but with the tail motor setup, because I don't know how one would use two different speed controls and have them mixed in such a way that a gyro could be used for the tail motor controller and that they would still mix. Maybe the easiest way is to just use a 2-in-1 controller for the tail, leave the main motor unplugged and splice the battery connection with a brushless main motor controller and they would both go to the battery like that.
