Helicopter workshop

Unread post by KrasherJack » Thu Mar 26, 2009 12:11 pm

Greg and I were helping a fellow aspiring heli pilot out today, at the "Heli spares store" ..when it was suggested an evening workshop (tune-up, swap shop, spring alignment" might be a good Idea. ;)
Perhaps an evening prior to Spring startup, at the findley Centre might work out.
If there is any interest, maybe we can convince Al senior, Greg, Et Al ,to attend, for some spring Heli tune -ups, alignments.
If there is any interest , please post a note, and I'll see about booking a location.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm all in. I was thinking maybe Dad would let us have it at the shop some evening.

Hey Dana,

I have a battery tray if you want it. Found one in my spares box. Also, did you try to re-program your controller like we talked about?

Did you guys have the Heli night, Jack?
Which one would you recommend between the CP+ and the CP Pro 2?
Rick, how do you like your CP Pro... is it the 1 or 2?

I can get the Blade 400 PnP at Errol's for the same price as the CPPro 2 at GH. I have been reading that the 400 is a good heli for a beginner with the settings adjusted( turned down).
Any thoughts?

Andrew


ps Jack, the CPPro2 is also rated as a 3d heli.
