Hi all,

I too, am a total noob to RC helis and like the idiot I am, I went out and dropped $249 US on a E-Flight Blade CP PRO. I read these forums and weighed
the choices for a month or two b4 I decided to take the plunge.

The main reason I went for the blade cp pro was "SUPPORT". My local hobby shop has every upgrade and replacement part imaginable. E-Flight is also
very reputable and their manuals are incredible! The CP pro manual even tells you IN DETAIL w/PIC'S how to do upgrades or even "dummy down" your
heli by adding extra weights on the paddle bar.

I also am fortunate enough to have an extremely experienced (pres. of my local AMA chapter) friend who helped me with setup and pre-flights.
As it turned out, my heli was shipped w a bad servo and my buddy noticed it right away. I went back to my LHS and they swapped out the servo lickity-split.
Once again,,,,...SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT.

NOW I REALIZE that the cp pro is NOT INTENDED FOR NOOBS......however....my decision was based on the reasoning that the true begginer RTF's
are usually around $200 US and for the extra 50 bucks u get a much more Aerobatic heli. This combined with the huge amount of knowledge and support avail.
on-line/forums, local shop and friends...

OK, Im sure alot of peeps will say, no no no, wrong choice for a noob, but I have ZERO regrets. I LOVE THE CP PRO!
I am following my friends advice and (the advice of many in these forums) using the rads flight training post...link;
