E-Flite Blade CP Pro FS

[ride1226]

the blade cp pro

heli has no more than an hour and a half on it. probably not even close to that. i have two 800mah lipos for it along with the eflite charger. it has some highly dinged up carbon fiber blades on it right now from my other blade which is now gone. i have a brand new set of wood blades which will also be included, i think i also have a spare spindle as well. the heli itself has the version 3 superskids on it which are awesome along with the dual tail motor mod to add a better balance, fix the issue of blown out tail motors, and adds more tail authority. adds some bling too as its alloy and blue. will also come with some training gear. heli is rtf. just set the pitch (pitch gauge included) charge your battery and take to the skies. transmitter and charger and everything needed are included.

price....make offers. looking for money mainly to put towards my cars.

i do accept paypal but please add the 3% fee.

my stuff is always exactly as described and well taken care of. you wont be dissapointed. thanks for looking all!

I am a new member here for the simple fact that more heli people come here than to where i have it also listed at. Been a long time member of one18th.com under the same user name with nothing but good feedback. if youd like i can also give you my ebay feedback. like i said my stuff is always just as described. hard to sell a heli on a car forum so thought i would give here a try. thanks all.

[ride1226]

not much of a market for these i guess? anywhere else i can put it up besides evil-bay?

[speedfrek]

What are you wanting to get out of it? I can make a low ball offer but I would rather you start.

[ride1226]

well...its pretty much new...with the upgrades...so i was hoping getting around 200 shipped for it. i dont really know the heli market like i do the car market so i dont know what the value is on these. like i said its literally new. will just need to be tuned to be in the air.

[wichmanj]

they are 200 new. I might think about it for 100

[ride1226]

if thats all im gonna get out of it id rather just keep it. hoirzon has them for 220 new. 100 is way too low.

[ride1226]

Would definitely consider a trade for a sim. Dont have time for this heli currently but could use a sim to get me back in shape for when summer rolls around. Hopefully get my hands on a rex to fly.

[ImNix]

if thats all im gonna get out of it id rather just keep it. hoirzon has them for 220 new. 100 is way too low.

thats pretty much all you'll get for it though. i think 150 would actualy be REALLY pushing it...

[ride1226]

id be willing to throw in some cash for a sim then. i think trading this heli off for g3 would be an ok trade if i throw some cash in itll even it up. what you guys think? really wanna get a nicer bird this summer now that i found out there is a group that flies every weekend just 5 minutes from my house.

[skunkworx]

You don't need a 'better' heli, the one you have is perfect. You just need to get it set up right. Send a PM to Buildem336 or Dieselracer and they can let you know what you need. You'll basically need to get the same stuff as the Rex anyways, so if you get all the parts and decide you still want a rex, you can do a straight swap over.
Put it this way, those guys can fly circles around me and my Trex, so it's all up to the pilot. Besides which, what've you got to lose? $100? You're better off just keeping it.

[ride1226]

im just not a fan of this chopper. its really not very stable with much of a wind. i am gonna keep it and go out to fly this weekend with all the heli guys. basically im gonna get something 450 size and more durable and stable. but id like to get rid of this for a sim which would be perfect. im not worried about spending money to make it all brushless and all that good stuff to make it fly better. to me its not worth the cash spent when eventually im gonna get another bird anyways.

basically what it comes down to is im gonna go fly this weekend. get it all set up and some time in the air. then id like to trade it for a sim...or im just gonna keep it as a back up heli for when i get my new bird.

[skunkworx]

You would be a big fan if only you could see what it's capable of!
It's cool though. Your decision after all, but it couldn't hurt to ask around if you do decide to keep it. Just thought you should see this before you completely rule out the BCPP in favor of the Rex (perhaps because you feel it will work better?).
This is Buildem336's BCPP in action;

Getting a sim will help out lot, but you don't have to get a super high-end one. Check out the Phoenix flight sims. Most people seem to like them more than the Realflight. Good luck!

[ride1226]

how is FS One? thats what i currently have offered to me.

as for that blade....he definitely gave that thing a work out. i just dont have the cash to throw all that stuff in there plus pay for repairs while learning everything i need to. thats a nice heli though for sure.

and as for your location....san diego? im located in valley center. i heard there is a group that flys here every sunday morning and one of them has a nice blade. is this the guy by any chance? id like to come out to check out everyones flying.

[skunkworx]

If you don't have the money to pay for the BCPP stuff, you'll be almost $500 MORE into it getting a Trex! You'd be better off learning on the CPP, then getting a T500 or T600. I'm not trying to harass you into either one (I own both), but the CPP is just way more cost effective and they fly exactly the same. Just my $.02 :thumbup:

As to the FS1, I'm not very fond of it. I have the G3.5 which is really nice(most people use this one), but it eats up memory, so you have to have a decent vid card. But then again, just about every sim will need a decent card. I'm not sure about what all is on the Phoenix, but I like the G3.5 because it has a heli trainer on there that will teach you everything you need to know up until you get into some really psychotic 3D. Personal preference plays a big role in that decision.

The pilot in the vid (Manual) flys up in Vista, which is just a short drive up the 15 or 5 near the Vist Courthouse complex. They meet every Sat/Sun when permitting. No AMA req'd, just a bunch of guys hanging out. You should go up sometime and take your heli with you. They'll get you all set up in no time flat. They have an on-site parts guy to boot in case you crunch it while practicing.

As for the Valley Center, I'm not quite sure where that is. (In Mission Valley?) I lived all over in SD, but I moved to AZ recently. I go back and visit as often as possible though. There is another group that flies in Coronado, right next to the bridge at Tidelands park (I think?). Both groups are just tossed together, but people always show up. The good thing is that everyone is there to help and would be more than happy to assist you.

If you still have the heli, and it's in good shape. I'll trade you my copy of realflight 3.5 for it. I loved it, but had to get the upgrade to 4.0.

[ride1226]

i still have the heli. was offered fs one for it but would much rather get realflight. so if its a package deal with transmitter and everything is in good shape consider it a deal. give me the details and we will work the trade out.

skunk...valley center is right next to escondido. maybe you know where that is. i know where vista is....little bit of a drive but not bad. also about my bcpp its not the money issue of upgrading to the rex this summer that will kill me its all the constant parts and downtime that kill me with the bcpp. where as the trainer i can just hit reset. i also dont have the money to dump into it to make it brushless and whatnot to just desire a heli thats a bit bigger. id def love to come check out some flying so stay in touch!

[skunkworx]

No problem dude. The sim will be perfect (very smart move!). If you are considering a bigger heli in the future, I would definately go with the T500 because it'll be a lot more stable than the 450, plus most guys want a bigger heli not long after getting a 450 anyways. You'll get there eventually. :thumbup:

You can watch all sizes in action if you take the trip over to Vista (they fly everything from the micro sized DF52 to the T600), so it's a really good experience even if you don't know what you are going to get. No need to ask permission to go, just show up an introduce yourself as one of the 'Freaks! Take care man.
