Hello everyone,

I am new to helicopters but not to RC. I have been looking at the Axe CP. Are you all happy with what you got, the price, quality, etc. How is the quality of the transmitter?

Thanks
Hey kjelld. Personally I love the Axe CP and love it. The only thing I don't like are the price of parts. They seem pretty high compared to the Blade. I've seen main blades almost twice the price of Axe blades, and about a $26 tail motor? That seems pretty stiff. If I knew more about the options available I might have gone withe the Blade CP instead of the Axe because of that, but my LHS only sold the Axe EZ/CP, which I bought both. I learned on the EZ which was great but motors seem to burn out too quickly. Been hovering, foward, backward and side to side for about 3 weeks and now having trouble with the tail motor it seems, not sure yet. Too late, I already own the Axe, but it does fly great when things are working. Good luck in whatever you get and most of all have fun!
