wcc963, Check out this thread on the Blade CP. It's right now about 142 pages long but you should read at least the last 10-15 pages and check out the links that are recomended. I couldn't fly mine right out of the box. It needed to be set-up properly and I also added the Bell upgrade kit for $25 and this made it responsive, much like Piccolo pro for AFPD. I crashed mine twice before I read and chatted, I haven't crashed it sense and I've been flying it around alot.
