Flight No 1

Today i received my blade CP. I took it out of the box and looked at it for 2 hours. I looked in details every part to see how it was built and stuff. I have to say they are pretty nice little machine.

After much examination i put the battery in the transmitter, installed the training gear and took it out for a spin. I never flown heli before so i knew i couldn't do much with it, but i was under the impression that it would just lift off and hoover by it self. I was wrong... the little thing lifted about 3 feet in the air and started to spin out of control. I then pull the throttle down and it slammed into the ground. No damage, lucky me.

From then i decided to just let the main rotor spin just enough so it would not leave the ground to discharge the battery (like it say in the manual).

charged the battery for 2.5 hours while i was surfing the web to find any tips and trick to help my fly my new toy.

I found a couple of very useful post in different RC forum.

This guy made some very nice instruction video on how to setup your Blade CP before flying it

If you have a Blade CP, add yourself to this ... I'm the one in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec (Canada)
