CP Pro - Warning! - Ball Joints!!
Hi,
I'm new to the forums here. I just bought a Blade CP Pro and just noticed (after 3 batteries of flight time) that
the lower ball joints on the fly bar links are not connected - the ball is not in the socket
. I did some pre flight checking but totally missed this. Luckily the geometry up there pretty much traps the ball and socket close enough so it still functions - kind of. This is definitely a big oversight by the assembler, and the test pilot at E-flite. I just wanted to share this observation so other owners could check for this.
Enjoy!!
