RE: First flight on the Blade CP Pro
Hi, I'm reading your post Night_prowler26 and all the comments and it sounds alot like me. Same questions, same nervousness and same jump ahead on the Radd method. I had to stare at my CP Pro for three days as my house is to small and it's been to windy until last Saturday. I went to a school gym with the local rc club waited my turn then had a few attempts at hovering, thankfully they have a good size gym because I needed all of it to get to my first hover. On the second battery I was able to get a few seconds stable hover but mostly just scooting around the floor and a little hover here and there. So I think I'm good enough now to clearout a little room in the kitchen, wrong! I slammed sideways after a short hover and slid into the cupboard breaking my tail rotor, main blades and retaining pin. This really sucks as I need to order the parts online and it will take a couple days at least. Be aware of glitching as its happened to me and while a friend was flying in the gym, it only happens for a milli second but is noticeable. In the forums it talks about it happening when having the Tx antenna fully extended in a confined space, this happened to me while going through the swashplate test in my basement as while my Tx was on the floor when I went towards the heli it spun the rotor briefly. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I hope you don't mind me jumping in as I feel like we all have a bit in common and I hope some of this helps you guys.
Hi again Night_prowler26, I read your post on the glitch to the right and watched your video on you tube. It was hard to tell for sure on the video but I know that my cp pro when being hovered when brand new by my friend who was trimming it for me seemed to make a brief sound change and pitched slightly down to the right after a few minutes of flying. It only happened that time though and i've run about 6 packs since then. The other glitch was as mentioned in the post above.
