After buying and flying a T-REX 450SE the CP wasn't much fun but still very much the right size for the front yard. So I recently installed seperate components and now it hovers like the T-REX. I tried it for the first time this morning and it flew well. It needs the Bell Hiller blade grips which I have ready to install; response is sluggish compared to the REX. The Berg 7P receiver, E-Flite 3-in-1 and G90 gyro work great. I left the pitch curve at -2 deg. to +8 deg. in normal and -8 deg. to +8 deg. in idle up 1, 2 and throttle hold. The Tx. is a JR XP7202. I have the stock geared single tail motor protected by the CP rocks voltage limiter [link]http://bladecp.corocks.com/[/link] which extends the TM life somewhat. I'll be back to flying my Blade CP a lot more often now!
