Mr....you couldnt have said it more accurate. I knew I had to have a CP Pro to get anywhere. The yellow CP is more difficult for me to fly than the pro. After wrestling with my DX6 and it's inherient collective problem and getting that fixed, I stripped the lights off, took the training wheels off...wow...what a difference. Keeping it close to stock is the way to go. The only "bling" left on mine are the superskids...they stay because I like them. They do a justice and serve a purpose. I just came off a hover that was smooth as glass. I'm still a little light in the nose even with the battery stuffed way up there but it don't effect flight to any degree of consern. Need to get this pro out to the field where I can put it up and FLY it. It is like a plane because the faster forward you go...the more lift. Heli's hover to land and take off...not fly. I'll stick around the Wheeeeeee thread, and check on ARROW and the rest on the new thread now and again. I have no intention in deserting this thread. Wunk still has problems, as does Wick and whoever else shows yp or sticks around....I'm here for you!

RICK RESPONDS : as far as moving ON.....the T-REX is, [ at least for me,] a project that will extend way into the future. I am STILL not able to FF or make turns with the PRO, much less with the Yellow CP so I am going to be around HERE for quite a while yet. To further explain my philosophy for advancement : I believe that it is not worth getting involved with a project unless one takes it from the TOP... and so I am SLOWLY accumulating all the BEST POSSIBLE parts for the T-REX....I still have to buy MOTOR / ESC / GYRO and LIPO....getting TopOftheLine items is expensive, hence, the WAIT. i.e. Motor : 430L-3550Kv / Gyro: JRG500T Ring / already got the set of the recommended JR servos, and so on....I believe that buying the cheaper stuff actually turns the project more EXPENSIVE....I also know from long experience that the better the model is built/ quality pays off and the operation is much improved.... so I am going from the top with this T-REX, maybe slower......[sm=thumbs_up.gif][sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Small example that kinda proves my point : I find that LEARNING is easier with the PRO than with the CP Yellow........!! catch my drift ? as a rule, the higher COST yields HIGhER QUALITY in performance......
Am I right ? or maybe terminally stupid ????...........[:-]
