I picked up a blade CP + on tuesday, and it's my first heli! I've been flying planes for about 5 years, and i'm starting to get into heli"s. I have FS 1 and flying the CX was to easy, so i decided to skip it and go straight for the CP.
AND I LOVE IT! Helis are so fun, and i'm having a blast. My first flight, i bent the spindle =(. But a quick fix, and i was back in the air. I've had about 6 flights since with no incidents, and its alot of fun. I feel really comfortable flying with it pointing away, and i'm practicing on the sim alot with it faceing toward me.

I'm wondering when does a roter blade become so bad that i need to change the blades. I have a piece of tape on each side because of rips, but they look fine. Also, is it ok to cut of the end ( just a little) to each side?
Another thing i'm wondering is what the difference is beetween the CP Pro And CP +. On more thing. If i used a thunder power 1325 3 cell 11.1V, would that burn the motor out? I notice that my motor is considerably warmer to the touch after using my thunder power VS. the stock, but the owner of my hobby shop, (perry, aeromicro), says its ok. What do you think. Any tips??
Thanks,
Zach
