I re-read your link this morning in a slightly more subjective state of mind. Based on its contents and the 2 paragraphs in your previous post, I conclude that you know precisely where I'm coming from.

Thank you for paraphrasing it.

In 3 months with the CP Pro I've gone from rank beginner to steady hover & mild FF on a model reputed by some to be one of the most difficult for a beginner to grasp. It was a time of great concentration & tight focus; I've never had such a great, challenging & satisfying time on a hobby activity in my life. Total immersion.

At the proper time, I will resume the hunt for a solution, knowing that my BCPP isn't haunted, just showing its devlish side. I'm not advanced enough to go outside the mainstream e.g. brushless; am not even close to pushing the BCPP's envelope. I w-i-l-l 'git round-tuit'.

BTW I checked out a MaxiR site. Impressive (21 ball bearings? nice)

Am getting off-topic here w/nothing more constructive.

Again, my thanks to all responders.

And good luck, Mocha.
