RE: Wanting to get axe cp as first heli
I looked closley at my LHS that is a Helimax dealer. The Axe CP addresses several weaknesses in the Balde CP design, yet a Helimax dealer local had ZERO parts for them....
When you fly a heli, it's not IF you crash, it is WHEN you crash...
Parts supply is a HUGE thing... Think about it...
Knowing what I know now, I would try an Axe CP if parts were at EVERY hobby store around like the Eflite heli's and as cheap as the Blade...
Also, if you can fly a Blade CP Pro, you can fly just about any heli.. I still fly mine to keep my reflexes up on my TrexSE!
Those parts (Tower Hobbies) are THE MOST expensive parts there are for any electric heli I have ever seen... Especially a $199.00 RTF! WOW!
Most all great fliers I have meet like to have a Blade CP around for indoor and low key flying around the house... Trex's are to big to even get trimmed properly in a large two car garage because of the high head speed which creates gobs of prop wash...
RADD'S taught me to hover an entire battery in about 8 packs on my first heli the CP PRO!
USE IT!
GO SLOW! It's cheaper and less frustrating this way! Trust me..
