Newbie here with the Blade CP Pro. Have flown the Blade CX2 for about 6 months now and having a great time. Have since upgraded to the CPP and it is a hand full. Some questions, I have the G90 Gyro installed and the super skids and training gear. Working with Radd's program.
When you folks talk of changing to ther head, is that just changing the Blade grips only? Also, you mention of moving the servo arm link in 1 hole, how do you really now when and if you get the swash plate level? Remember I am a newbie, this is all foreign to me. Right now as I bring my CPP up to hover speed the helicopter wants to tip to the right side, why is that? The tail is locked in with the gyro so I don't have to worry to much about that. Like I said, the CPP is a handful compared to the Blade CX2.
Appreciate any input!

yeah, I put together that article so that people would know the difference between the cp and the cpp and how to change one into the other. And yeah you only need the hiller blade grips to downgrade. To upgrade you need the mixer arms and the bell hiller grips.
As far as your setup, this is what I would do disconnect the servo links from the swash, move them all in one hole one at a time. After you are done with that, give all the links one twist clockwise (it's easier to do 2 half twists). That will make the swash pretty much as level as you have it now. Disconnect both motors and connect the battery. Put the heli in idle up and go all the way up and down on the throttle and make sure it doesn't bind. Also make sure your blade pitch is pretty close to 0 at half stick throttle and half trim, and that should do it =)
