I agree with the wooden blades (taped on the leading edge the last three inches), extra set of flybar weights and the gyro. However, the very best way to make the CPP easier to fly is to buy a B 400 and a spektrum reciever and convert the CPP to fly with the DX6i that came with the B400. Dialing in some expo and the other features of the DX6i makes an incredible difference in how easy it is to fly and control the CPP. I feel like I got two new helis with my B400!
