Default RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO

There is a nice carbon frame over at helifever for 25 bucks... and if that is all you get, it's $10 for shipping. There is a good review of it over at helifreak. That should get you setup without breaking the bank. It comes in white and black. The CP and CP Pro stuff will go onto it pretty well

ORIGINAL: Rexor2

I am getting really sick of my CPP. I have issues with how weak the main frame is. I have done the brushless upgrade along with the DD tail. The problem I am having is with all the weight on the front RX and 3n1 mount. Now before I had the ESC on top of all that, one hard landing would either bend or break that plastic mount. I have replaced it twice when it was in stock form. Now with the added weight of the ESC I have broke it again. Is there anyway to upgrade/stiffen up that mount without doing a whole cnc frame? It is a shame that you have to add so much weight to this little flimsy frame that for one it can not hold it without bending/breaking and for two there is no way to get a canopy on it. I am really considering getting rid of this thing and using the money from the sale to put into my REVO or maybe just get a REX and skip all this silly flimsy crap. I can hover a full pack and thats fine for right now but I would like to have something I feel it a little more sturdy and can handle it when things get hairy and it need to come down quicker then I'd like.
