RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO
Hi Guys,
Pictures of the super-skids finished. (on the Pro).
Never liked the white antenna lead from the receiver, I used a black magic marker (wide tip) to color it black. Also, the antenna tube.
Then to top it off, I used some black sewing thread to tighten the antenna to the skid. If you look reallllly close, you can see the raps about 1/4 inch apart. Another 5 minute job, but it makes it look alot cleaner.

alex k,
Small world, every thing comes via ups. I expect one Monday too. Main frame, blades, main gear and some other stuff. With the price of gas, sometimes it's cheaper just to get it online.
Happy flying,

RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO
Hey nice job Choppersrule. That really hides the antenna. I had to really look close to see it. Do you actually run your antenna through the tube?? I just wound mine around it from 1 end to the other but I like yours more because you dont really see it at all.

Commander_Bob,
Yep, the Pro is an awesome little bird for the price. Takes time to get the feel of it, as you know.
Glad to hear the training gear is off. Makes a lot of difference doesn't it.
I'm a slow flyer, back yard stuff. I've got about 30 flights or more and no, yes, no mishaps with the Pro. Oops, one broken blade.
See pictures of the super-skids I put on tonight before and after shots. Look cool and very sturdy.. This is version 3, I have version 2 on the CP. The version 3 is much better and worth the extra bucks.
You can fix almost anything with tape.

Only takes about 10 to 20 minutes to do the change over. Depends on if you get the assembled version or kit version.
I'd sugguest to get the V3 skids, yep, a little more expensive, but well worth it. Much more sturdy and has a bigger battery tray.

RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO
WOW, i learned a lesson, DO not tighten any scews on the blade lol. other night i went over everything went out to fly today and it was like flying for my very first time on a simulator. lol
My blades were to tight and i had tighten the lil screws under the main rotor bladed and the top screw above the head, wow it was vibrations really bad, i put everything back where it was and its fine now.
The book tells you ZERO about maintenance, so what do you need to look for? just make sure none those screws are going to fall out? but are supposed to be loose.

RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO
Night prowler,
The V2 or V3 skids are easy to attach. Take off the canopy, remove the existing skids. The super skids comes with everything you need to install on the heli, even a new battery tray. The super-skids actuall screw into the already existing holes the the stock skids push into. That simple. As far as weight, they do weigh a bit more, but doesn't effect flight, actually, with the little bit of extra weight, the CP seems to be a bit more stable. Also, it doesn't seem to effect flight time. However, I never let my batteries run that low anyway.

RE: E-FLITE BLADE CP PRO
Night prowler,
Maintenance: Yes, make sure that all the screws are tight, except the blades of course. Make sure the 2 screws that hold the tail motor in place are tight. The paddle blades tight, fly bar weight, servo arms, main shaft collar. One thing a lot of the guys forget is the spindle, that's the thingie that holds the blade grips to the center hub. Just remove both main blades and take two allen wrenches and check for tightness. I just went through my heli two nights ago, and the screws for the spindle were 2 full turns loose.

so you have to take both blades completly off to check them others right! I had seen them and thought that was the only way to get to them.

Yeah iknow about the motor screws and all, So should the screw in the very top of the rotor be tight? tight as it will go? cause that one and the 2 tiny ones on the side under that were little loose so i tightend them also.
so you have to take both blades completly off to check them others right! I had seen them and thought that was the only way to get to them.

If they get to loose, it will cause a ton of vibration. If they loosen all the way, the blades could actually fly off. Don't want that to happen. It's a maintenance thing, it only takes a few minutes to check everthing, a few more for the spindle shaft.
Pays off in the long run. I check mine after every few flights.

You're on the right track. Tighten 'em all. And the spindle shaft, yep, take off both main blades and make sure they are tight too.

it had vibrated before if i didnt have it on level ground cause of the training balls.
Maybe I should try again, but with everyting back a lil loose its fine..
I am new and not sure of names for everything sorry. none of the screws were loose loose like goign to fall out they were just not tight as they could be thats all.
i was figuring the small tiny ones on the controls when you move the main rotor blades left and right the plastic that the screws are holding on moves, maybe that tells you what that part is called?
i figured they needed to be a lil lose so would move freely?
Edit: looking at the Exploded view page in the blade book it shows the screw i am talking about as #75 witch calls it a pan head screw.

I apologize, I keep forgetting that the Pro has the Bell-Hiller grips and that pan head screw #75 should be backed off about 1/2 turn. If totally tightened down. The Bell-Hiller linkage wouldn't be able to move. If you're still having a bad vibration problem, generally, the blades are out of balance, a bent main shaft, or blade tracking is way off. One time, I corrected a vibration problem by moving the fly bar weight in about a 1/4 inch. Try that, move one in, if it's worse, move it back and try the other side.

I apologize, I keep forgetting that the Pro has the Bell-Hiller grips and that pan head screw #75 should be backed off about 1/2 turn. If totally tightened down. The Bell-Hiller linkage wouldn't be able to move. If you're still having a bad vibration problem, generally, the blades are out of balance, a bent main shaft, or blade tracking is way off. One time, I corrected a vibration problem by moving the fly bar weight in about a 1/4 inch. Try that, move one in, if it's worse, move it back and try the other side.

Night Prowler,
Also, check the mesh between the main motor and main shaft gear. Check the main shaft gear for any worn or missing teeth.
