no one said the FP was easier, thats a misconception, the FP is just as hard as a cp, the difference is, the FP is A LOT cheaper to learn on because they dont shatter when you crash. A cp blade scuff can cost plenty to fix in new blades, spindle, possibly a main shaft, down time, re-set up. etc etc. An FP you pick it up straiten blades and off you go again, they dont break as easily as a CP...
