RE: making CPP easier to fly
Hey wsdepa,
I have to agree wholeheartedly...except I did it a different (expensive) way..I bought the DX6i for my CPP first, THEN bought a B400!! Now I have two DX6i's...
But it does make a huge difference over the stock POS that Eflite includes with the CPP. That radio leaves a lot to be desired, and is difficult to control the heli with for a newbie, no doubt.
I ended up as you said, dialing in some expo, and I played with the pitch curves to slow the very high stock headspeed down some, and it really helped tame it down alot.
There is still no substitute for a good tail, either belt or shaft driven, as you know...
The CPP still has a major shortcoming with the stock tail motor setup...
Hope this helps some too...
