this BCP is using all my separate electronics from my spare parts assortment. I bought that airframe only kit, it did come with motors so I only had to scrap the DC main motor , Im still using the stock DC tail motor.
please dont judge me by my wiring , its a bit untidy .

Hey steve28
What brand is your airframe? I have only seen the CNC and that one does not come with motors or anything else.
Or if anyone else knows please PM me or leave a post thanx..

The airframe is the Blade CP , Its the airframe that comes in the
"almost ready to fly" kit , all that was included was , the airframe ( including rotor head , base plate , tail boom and tail motor mount , landing skids and legs ) , main motor , tail motor
it didnt include , TX RX , speed controls , gyro , revo mixing
i already had all this stuff so it was perfect , the kit cost 99 $ CAN
Since I posted these pics I have upgraded the swashplate to aluminum and upgraded the head to the Bell Hiller Mix head , it makes a difference , more agility.
Oh and I almost forgot Carbon Fiber main blades . this was all in the 48 hours .

ah , the landing gear thats right , what I did there was I removed the original skids and got some aluminum pipe from the LHS they had a bunch of small diameters , I bought I think a foot of the stuff , I just bent the end and drilled a couple holes to fit the legs and glued the legs into the holes using CA , the legs are original carbon material and the rest of the frame is plastic .
i was flying this heli today , first flights with the new CF main blades , after I adjusted the tracking the heli flew smooth . this BCP is becoming almost more fun to fly than my T-REX ( cost is a bit less , and its less sensitive ) .
I havnt tried stall turns with my T-REX but Ive done em on this BCP
