Default RE: CP+. IS THERE A TITANIUM SHAFT?

go ahead and stomp it, i'll buy the remaining good parts for 5 bucks! - done that twice now - i'm gonna fly this beyatch if it kills me (which it probably will, or bankrupt me first then kill me)

my nemesis is the #$%@&^*! feathering shaft (aka collective shaft, yes the 'rotor shaft' you are speaking of)) - made of lead (or soft gold considering the price) if you ask me, and the thing is drilled out and threaded to make it even more bendable

i cut, drilled and tapped a drill bit - worked like a charm until it broke the plastic shaft holder

i am making a spring steel flybar (need more paddles - the originals are now on the fp on a metal flybar made from a cx flybar)

i am using superskids cause i sheared off the whole underside of the cp+ on the truck tailgate

i can hover, but forward flight eludes me still

wind is the enemy and trim trim trim is the only way to any success

once you crash you have to stop and rebuild the whole bird

the bird is so tail heavy that the battery has to be mounted almost under the 4-in-1

the walkera 4 fixed pitch is a better bird

supposedly the cp is conquerable, and i am making slow but sure progress
