Default RE: E-FLIGHT BLADE CP

For kicks I rebuilt my first BCP with the aluminum frame and CNC head and twin tail motor. The whole bird sits a lot taller than stock. I have yet to attempt flying it because I still have to adjust the linkage on the head. Yes, I know, I could've bought a Trex with the money I spent but I like spending money and it was fun building. Hopefully it'll be fun to fly as well. I'm still shopping for next heli. T-rex, Eco8.... who knows.

My only gripe is despite them saying "All hardware is included" the head didn't come with any linkage. Considering there are 2 extra non-stock linkages to put on, it would've been nice if they sent them along with the head. My local hobby shop didn't have anything close so we had to bore out some pitch links and add a 1 3/4 inch thread.

* Designed to work with all stock parts
* Ships pre assembled and ready to be used
* All parts are CNC machined ( as shown in picture )
* All hardware is included
* Increase your Precision cyclic control and overall strength
* Head is in silver color with a red stop button on top

See that long linkage that connects to the swashplate and the other end of the whosafassa (just right of red knob) yeah, it didn't come with any of that. You'd think for $145.99 they'd throw them in there. Looks damn sweet though. I'll try to take some pictures tonight and post them.
