Some pics of the blade CP in action
Hey guys, I've got some pics of my blade CP in case anyone is looking for photos of it! This is honestly the best $220 helicopter i've seen its really an amazing little machine, i've had nothing but fun with it.
Mine is fully stock, although I did have a few rough landings so I've got new blades.
i've got some more pics here too if you wanna see em:

RE: Some pics of the blade CP in action
Polygoo...question? I have a blade cp, to balance the heli I have to pull the battey toward the rear of the frame completely exposing the battery housing. In your pictures the battery is halfway inside the canopy, is your heli balanced...obviously it looks like it flies fine....Just wondering if i should ignor balance stage in the instructions. Thank you!

North my battery on my Blade is in exactly the same position as the one in polygoo's pictures. Are you holding the heli by the flybar to check the CG/balance?
I would most definitely not ignore the balance in the manual, rather figure out why yours is apparently so far off. Have you modified your Blade in any way? Are you using the stock pack?

docpregodc, my blade is new,stock and balanced by supporting from the flybar. I just received it two days ago....still can't hover, I know it takes time to learn. All controls appear to work, but as soon as I get 6 inches above ground its extremely hard to control. The helli is stable as far as pointing in one direction, but constantly floats forward, back, left and right. My inputs on the joystick are minimum, about a dozen flights and still no luck, Thank you .

Hey polygoo,
I made the fin from 060 styream (pvc sheeting for modeling) LHS sells them.
It is supportive enough to protect against a tail strike.
Used a 3/16 landing gear strap to hold it instead of glue.Fits perfect over the stock tail boom!
Then gave it the krylon touch and clear coat.
Works well![8D]

RE: Some pics of the blade CP in action
I just switched to symmetrical blades from the stock flat bottom. Now in a hover my heli leans to the right. Why is it doing that?
