Default RE: My 1st flight CPP

Thanks mrasmm and Truglodite.

Hellion, most people hate and think the CPP is a total ripoff, cause all they do is crash it. You already flown yours and seem to be very happy with it. The covering on the wooden blades on my heli was coming off during flight, so the best thing for me was to remove the covering and find an alternative. If your like me and all you wanna do is hover and simple forward and backward flight, then you don't need the covering on the blades. Like Truglodite says, if you have a brushless motor and intrested in 3D flight, you may wanna avoid useing the non-covered blades and insert the carbon fiber blades or re-cover your stock blades for strength. As for the tail of the heli not staying in 1 place, you may need to purchase the Heading Lock Gyro to keep heli steady, otherwise it will yaw left or right. The Locking Gyro will also burn your tailmotor up much faster. I went the cheap way and did without the Locking Gyro and correct the yaw with the radio sticks during flight.

Truglodite, I never saw a weight in the blades and never knew they had weights. I guess they were already installed.

Happy Flying
