Anyone here own both? What are the differences between the two? I know the CPP has the hiller mixer, Li-Po, symme blades, aerobatic motor with heat sinks, reverse pitch RX system. Just wondering how close I am to having a CP-PRO with all the mods I've done to my CP.

Crashcrash,

Yep, I have both. CP and CP Pro. The Pro give you the options to go to a brushless motor and a Head Holding gyro. And what you mentioned. The CP doesn't have the options to go brushless or HH gyro. The CP has a 4-in-1 controller and the Pro has a 3-in-1.

Thanks. What do you feel are the positive points and negative points of the CPP. I have a CP, and I'm hovering quite well but haven't moved to tail out hover as yet because of stability/control problems that I haven't figured out yet. Got parts on order that may correct this and I put a new 4-1 on but probs are still there (Li-Po/ running a stock motor issues I think). I also read that the CPP is more difficult to fly. Tell me the compairsons...what do you think?

I own and fly both, I honestly believe the CP is harder to fly.

The superior cyclic response on the Pro makes it much easier to keep steady in hover, I think.

people say that flat bottom blades are easier too but it's the other way in my opnion. Semmetricals seem to be more responsive in my book. I shall ponder the CPP as my next heli (got to at least get the CP working right).

Thanks!

Crashcrash,

Pros and cons of the CPP. That's a tuff question to answer, I started with a CX to begin. Then the CP, it was a handful for me, but once I understood the importance of the mechanical setup, everything fell into place. At first, my hovers were all over the place, now, I can do that in a 1 foot square all day. But it took me a long time to get there, alot of patience and alot of broken parts.

Anyway to your question, the postitive for the CPP, as I mentioned in a earlier post, the ability to upgrade to brushless motor(about $100) and a head holding gyro(another $100), the negative, Hmmmm, can't think of any. It really depends where you want to go with this hobby. If say in a years time, you want something a little bigger and more powerful, stay with the CP for now and get a Trex 450se down the road. Wish I knew then, what I know now, guess it's all part of the learning curve.

What kind of problem are you having with your CP, maybe I can help.

I upgraded to 800mha Li-Po's, it yo-yo's, it drifts, the tail motor constantly whips up and down in speed. I may have a bad main motor, so I ordered a 370/heatsink combo. Everything else including the 4-1 is NEW. I won't know for sure until I replace the main motor. I can hover it and when I apply more power for a 3 ft + hover...it goes nuts with the tail motor whipping, the yo-yo, and it's all over the place (hard to hold it in a 3ft square area). Just gotta wait for the motor upgrade.

Have you tried to adjust the gyro on the 4-in-1? I know that has to be adjusted when you switch to a LiPo. It sounds like the gyro is going kind of crazy. Just a thought.

Why and how does the gyro need to be adjusted when a lipo is added?

According to "experts" when you switch to Li-Po's, you've gotta upgrade to a motor that can handle it. Also, the stock motor has 10T pinion, and the 370 upgrade has 9T pinion. I put a new 4-1 in thinking that was the problem, nothing changed...still the same probs. I know how to set the gain and proportional to optimal settings and if all is going fine and I don't push it, I can hover pack after pack with no problems. After I change the main motor, all that's left is the TX and servos that is original on this heli. Hopefully I can gain some stability after I do that. The servos appear to be functioning fine.
