Default HB CP2

On your HB CP2, what do you break when you crash? Ive done searching, and the answer is just too confusing. Im a beginner and i dont know what i should get extras of. I know i got a CP heli, but im going to fly it withoutchanging pitch, until i can hover and fly around. I want to know what probably will break first. Keep it straight forward, and somehow specify what breaks the VERY most so I an get more than one. Thanks,
Jeff

Also are there any upgrades i should get?

I have broken my landing skids and sheared the pin that ties the head to the main shaft. Also have damaged the main blades.

Usually what breaks first depends on how hard the crash was. For additional spare parts I'd get main rotor blades, tail rotor blade (And tail motor if applicable) tail boom, landing gear skids, rotor head, fly bar rod, main rotor shaft, swashplate, and control linkage. It's hard to tell what will will actually get broke first, so it's a good idea to keep all these additional parts handy. Because it is possible to break all these parts in one crash. A good thing to do is, everytime you go to the hobby store just pick up a few parts everytime you go. And after while you'll have a lot of spare parts.

When buying my cp2 (few weeks ago) i ordered spare main and tail blades...but spare motors would be a good idea, unless u have access to a local store where u could get em.
So far i've ruined main blades only...i'd say these are a must !!

I've damaged my main blades and the rotor head set pitch arm. Parts ordered online take a few days to arrive, just check with the vendor to be sure the parts you need are in stock first.
