Well, finally got my CP Pro in and had to get my feet wet. After looking everything over and charging the battery I took her up. I haven't flown a real RC helicopter in 3-4 years and even then I wasn't good at it, so obviosly it wasn't a good idea. Anyhow, I am very impressed with this little copter. It isn't anywhere near as twitchy as people say it is. I got off several good hovers without a very good trim....I consider it good, lol..15-20 seconds at about 3 feet.

The biggest issue I was having was keeping the tail in. At lift it was trying hard to spin clockwise then in the air it'd reverse to going counterclockwise. Just need to adjust the gain and sensitivity. I had a blast and messed around for 10 or so minutes. The blades made contact with the ground right as I was on my last hover attempt...they barely touched it, but it dented the wood and peeled the mono...you think I can still fly with the blades? Or not worth the risk? Stuff peeled off fine and the dent is on the leading edge : / Really wish I had picked up blades when I got it, LHS is closed over the weekend too......

The only thing I can comment on is that I'm VERY surprised at the power this little guy has and just how much things will move if you really want them to. The only other electric I have to compare is an Aerohawk..and well, it sucked compared to this.

They need to put a warning on the box: Do not fly this the first day you get it home. Hehe, I was so anxious I almost skipped the once over, battery charge, and manual read.
