Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

I have this frame. Got it last friday. Was reall excited. Took it home, 2 hours later, all wired up and ready. start to throttle up, and wham, INTERFERENCE CITY. Now, i was warned about this (not by helihobby, but others on this forum), but it was still a bummer. Another 1 hour to go back to my plastic frame.

I'm running seperates:
BladeCP Air Frame
Futaba 7CHP
Electron 6 Receiver
EFlite 2&1 Mixer/ESC
GWS PG03 Gyro
3 HS55 Servos
Aluminum Swash
Bell Mixer Upgrade
Sym Wood Blades
TP 1200 and 1320 3S Lipo's

I wanted to try the 2 motor tail frame. But after using this for about 10 flights (no crashes), BOTH MOTORS BURNED UP AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!!. Still using the mount, but with only One motor. Those were the first TR motors that I have ever burnt (100+) flights, so I consider myself lucky. Just too bad it was both motors at the same time. Have the RC-Expert CNC head on the slow boat from china, but will let you all know how it goes.

I may use a buddies Berg 6 with it, to see if it cuts down on the interference. Also will try some ferrite loops, to see if that helps. Might also try a CF tail boom, instead of the aluminum to see if it works. Also, the superskids will NOT work with the alum frame, the alum frame's skid mounting is different angle and width from stock. bummer all around.

DONT BUY IT IS MY OPPINION. which is a real bummer, as i was really looking forward to the extra strenght.
