Hey Sportsman67,

It's great to hear you had many successfull flights. Those low battery forced landings you had are unfortunate. I made low battery forced landings 1 of my main priority's as I approached my 1st CPP flights. After flying my CX2 and seeing what a low battery does to an electric heli, I knew I couldn't allow this to happen to my CPP. I usually fly my CPP for about 5 to 8 minutes no longer on a full charge just to be safe. 1 day I landed my heli so I could adjust the rudder trim with rotor blades still turning and heard a weird choping sound, I looked at heli and it was nose over. As I was adjusting trim, heli was slowly but surely noseing over and the blades hit the grass, thats my only mishap. Crashing a heli because of pilot error is ok, but crashing because of low battery is another story and it's hard to stop flying cause it's so fun. I can easily understand your mishaps which I don't call crashes, just unfortunate actions. I done forward, backward and side to side motions with the CPP. Heli is very fast in all directions, just have a lil extra altitude when flying backwards, like 10 to 15 feet. I'm no means a great CPP pilot, as I've had many close calls, but was able to save it some how. With some 30 flights you are also a successfull CPP pilot. Remember to land that heli before battery dies and you'll have another flight for the record books.

Keep those rotors choping!!!!!
