Default RE: Wheeeeeeee.......... Blade CP!

ArrowNaughtic,

Old Chopper here: I take it by "Senior Members checking back in!" , you mean the guys that have been around awhile and not us guys like me that are "Senoir Citizens" LOL J/K

I'm sure you can tell by the correspondence between the BOB's, that all is okay and we are a tight group of people. Always willing to help the other guy and trading stories too. Concerning the Eflite CP's, speaking for myself only. I had the CP and the Pro for over a year, in the beginning I had no help and wasn't aware of this or any other forum. So for me, it was extremely frustrating and very expensive just to get my first good hover and later some Slow FF. Yada, Yada, Yada (Seinfeld) I've had a slew of different helis over the last two years. The best was the Trex 450, however, I found that it was just to much for this "Senior Citizen" to handle. The old hand-eye coordination thing is creeping up on this guy. All of my Blade and Trex equipment is no longer with me[&o], on to better homes. As you know, I found the HBK2, a little bigger than a Blade and little smaller than a Trex. It's very docile for me and am having a great time with it.

As time goes on, we all change our likes and dislikes, nothing wrong with that at all. Whether it be helicopters, motorcycles, cars, boat or houses. Even your favorite snack, mine is potato chips and oreo cookies. We humans are a strange breed to say the least.

I for one, certainly understand your love for the Eflite helis, they are fun and very easy to work on. Stock up on parts..[sm=wink_smile.gif]

Tracy, take care and have a ball.. Tell Jacki the Chopper said Hi.

Anyways, I have been reading the thread daily and all I can say is wow guys! This thing is just out of control! We have adopted some new members into the Band of Brothers and seen some of the senior members checking back in!
I am wondering though............. I don't see as many questions about the Blade CP/CP Pros posted as much as we did like even 3 months ago. Is the Blade CP/Pro losing the market share and people are moving on to newer helis? I know alot of us have moved on to different brands and different sizes but i just don't see as many new guys posting about them. I for one am concerned there are getting to be more negative posts about what joined us all together.......... Eflite CP's! I know i for one will always have a place on my heli shelf for them, even when i run out of parts and they are no longer available.
