Hi gents,

Darticus, seems your off to a good start. I was in your position a few months ago, I could fly the CX2 all day and needed more of a challange. Yes the Cp Pro can hover like the CX2, but takes more radio stick inputs to do so. The way the CP Pro is designed, it has to be going either forward, backwards, left, right, it's not made to stay in 1 spot, but it can hover very well, once experience is gained. I made at least 30 flights with my CPP and haven't had a single spill yet. My advice to you is, don't fly it inside your house and don't try to hover it 6 in. from the ground. Go outside on a calm day and try to hover it from 3 to 5 ft. from the ground. Also, when heli is decending, make sure to keep enough throttle on, cause heli falls like a rock once the decent has started. If you take baby steps, your chances of success are great. Happy Flying!!!



Burn and Sportsman67,

When I 1st starting flying the CPP I noticed the tailboom strikes had to come to a halt and fast. Quik fix I did was take tube from inside of ink pin, soften 1 end and slide it over the tailboom brace for more tailrotor height. I did this mod after my 2nd flight and after 30 or so flights I haven't had a single tailrotor stike at all!! My tailrotor strikes prior to this mod went from 100% to zero, no need to trim the rotor blade. Here's a pic of my simple, cheap, highly effective tailboom/rotorblade strikes mod. Note: My tailrotor has about 3/4 of an in. with tailrotor blade in vertical position from the ground and main skids won't sit on surface flat, but you also won't have anymore strikes. Why E-Flite engineers would produce a great product with massive tailrotor strikes I'll never know!!!!
