Default RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO

Oh, and BTW. I got my Blade back yesterday. I forgot how much fun it is to fly a smaller heli and got a little crazy, and have crashed twice so far.

1st time.... I was flyin it this mornin around in fast circles with less than half a battery left, and decided to do a flip (something Ive done several times before with the Blade) I also had the super-landing gear on. It faced straight up, stopped and dropped like a rock. I managed to get the Blade upright about 5 feet from the ground and it hit sideways on its skids. I didnt break anything because of 6 inches of snow, except for a little nick in the middle of the blade.

2nd time..... About 30 mins ago I was flyin outside in the dark underneath the yardlight, was doin some circles and about the third time around I was headed towards the BB hoop. I yanked back and cut throttle (I probably could have saved it though) it landed in the snow and only ruffled the covering on one of the Blades from hitting the blade-grips.

Im gonna have to hook up a Brushless motor and DD tail and gyro so I really can have some fun. When I do all of this, Ill have to put a vid on youtube.
