I guess what I mean by "crappy" is exactly what you say. It isn't the fact that it IS crappy, it's the fact that it is small and very snappy, and thus MY CPP is crappy because I've crashed it into poles, the floor, and the ground (I haven't hit a wall yet)!

My CPP is on the verge of being totalled. I got the nose in hover now, no problem, and can do very slow race-track patterns in the basement. I'm pretty sure I could do larger circuits a little faster in the yard, but it's lousy weather all weekend (the forecast). I could easily dump another $40 in this thing with a new frame, skids, etc... Actually - anybody do the superskids thing??? I could also use a new tail motor soon.

I'm getting by with a worn out tail motor by turning up the gain, and also the mixer.

I'm anxious to buy a T-Rex, but I'm also teetering on beating this CPP a little more so I don't do the same with the T-Rex. I suppose another month won't hurt, and who knows, by then maybe I won't be putting this CPP into things!

I'll have to try that link for the TRex. I did download one but it didn't work (wouldn't take off). Probably a set-up issue???
