Well gave myseld Blade CX over Xmas and learned all basic flights, lots of parts, upgraded to aluminum parts and of course now dont crash. Can do 8s, nose-in hover etc and almost "looped" CX outside in the wind! Now moved on to HB CP2 which I rec'd last eve. Flew it in garage and WOW! Loud, and with training gear have to use full throttle to hover 4". After 4-5 flights was able to hover for a few seconds. This collective pitch is a great challenge. Was reading about Sticky Collective issue and wonder if thats why I need full throttle to hover?

Changed the washer order on blade grips "sticky collective fix" and thing now flies like a charm. Hovers with training gear on at 1/3 throttle. Such a simple fix but what a difference!
