you could check that out and see if that helps at all. Also with the blade you can add things like the super skids or a bigger battery pack to lower the cg and make it more stable.

The main thing that I think is it would be better to have what your LHS carries so you can just go get a part if you need to so you can just get back up in the air right away, instead of waiting some time for mail order to come. Sounds like you're leaning that way too =)

go with the cpp though instead of the cp. Here are a couple of articles I wrote that tell you why.
