So I had to replace the tail boom,straighten out the fly bar,replaced the main gear,not to bad to repair, all considering.The only thing is that ,it seams that there is alot of power going to the tail motor.I have to turn down the g90 quite abit to keep it under control.
Any ideas?

what do you mean turn the g90 down ? as turn the gain down cuz the tail would wag ? and also might i ask why the heli was on your roof.. i tryed to land on my roof one time.. never again.... is your rudder trims correct.. with a freshly charged pack id have to trim the tail down by moving the rudder trim lever to the left. then as the pack wears retrim by moving it to the right a few clicks at a time.

Well I was trying to hover this thing and it kinda got away from me when a gust of wind came along and took it.I was doing pretty good untill,I kinda freaked out and lost sight of it when it went infront of the house.i cut the throttle and it landed on the roof and rolled of.
I have had this heli for about 4 months and I have the g3.5 sim.I aable to hoover various models,tail in nose in.With the cpp I dont think that I will be ever able to learn to fly because I cant get it to hoover worth a crap and alway chasing after it.
I know that it isnt all the heli fault,but.I think that I am going to try a trex 450 and see what happens.I have put enough $$$$ into the cpp that I could have paid for one buy now

If you trim the cpp right it will fly steady enough to do some good flying, so I would give it a chance and try to get it set up right before you spend any money on a T-rex.

No worries man, when I first started flying my CPP I though the same thing. I fact I remember talking to my brother and telling him "dude, this thing cannot be flown. It is just too uncontrollable"
Now I can keep it in a motionless hover for...well I'm not sure how long, but long enough for me. LOL. My CPP is heavily modded now but I could hover it really well even when it was mostly stock.
Keep practicing and put in the time to get your heli set up and dialed in and you will be hovering that thing in no time. OH! and never belive that guarbage about eflight setting up your heli for you at the factory. I got mine out of the box and it was totally out of wack. Only thing that was done was the blades were balanced.
