RE: THE NEW BELT CPV2
You found the obvious differences in the landing skids, canopy, flybar paddles, vert & horiz fin colors as well as the upgraded gyro. However there are more changes.
The belt cp v2 has slight differences in the head & tail components than the original belt cp. I believe only a few parts were modified on the head...such as the flybar case, the flybar control arm, center hub and control arm. THe tail is where most the differences are such as the tail blade clamps, tail rotor blade control arm set (EK1-0408), tail rotor blades & the tail L control arm (EK1-0425). I may have missed a few parts but those are the changes that I can tell. Not owning a belt cp I can't compare it to the newer v2....but I bet it's probably hard to tell the difference in flying them.
I totally agree with the comment on ESC it is junk and heats up too much....I should just upgrade it instead of wondering when it'll flame out on me.
But the belt cp v2 does share a ton of parts off the older version.
