OUCH - looks like a total loss! How did you manage to spend $400 in 2 weeks on your CP Pro?? That's two brand new helis!!

Total Loss - No - $400 to repair - Yes. Basically the only thing left good was the engine, muffler, and servo tray + all my electronics. The only thing I didn't find was my secondary receiver for my AR7000.

On the $400 for cp pro parts - It was like head part here and there, lot's of blades, a frame and boom kit, more blades, carbon blade upgrades, umm main gear, servos - Just about everything - Hell I even burned out a 3in1. Mind you I was getting like 15-20 flights a day on it running 3 batteries and 2 chargers - Flying day, and spending nights flying under s street light. I would be up till 4 am flying.
