Here is a 3D proformance of the Blade CP Pro 2. It seems as though the tail holds very well. Here are a list of some of the updates to it... (Look to the right side of this (http://www.e-fliterc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=thisEFLH1350) page for the video)
1# N60 Tail Motor
2# Direct Drive Tail
3# More Powerful Main Motor
4# Spektrum RX
5# Bell-Hiller Mixing
That't about it. You can see that I am pretty excited. I can't wait to get a few.

they are going to have to make alot of improvments on the flyability of the CPPro to make it a decent bird. the DD tail is still going to blow the motor with any little strik, I would go with the 400 before I bought another CP. The 400 weights more had a better rngine and flies like a dream compared to the CPPro.

The first one blows, I don't see any reason why this one will be much better. My suggestion would be to skip it and go straight to the B400.

looks like that new main motor might actually be worth a dang, the stock can motor sucks. direct drive is definetly better that the N30 gear drive. hopefully the bigger motor will live longer.

I just seen it on the website and came here to see if any talk about it yet. I am sad to see they still using a motor for the tail, you would think with all the upgrades people did to the first one they would went with a belt drive on it. Personally I loved my blade cp Pro, i had 40 flights on it w/o any trouble untill the my uncontrolable twitch started going on and could not figure out what was wrong with it..now i have a CX and its fun to play with sometimes.
I would love to own the blade 400 but its double the price and I wonder how good it is compard to the new 500 trex.

same old cp they just included some of the upgrades with the kit and a direct drive tail. i would bet u still have to replace the tail motor every ten flights just to keep the tail holding properly.:thumbdown:
Looks cool, i'm in. I like micros since they are safer and i'm able to fly around in my small back yard.

Good point about safer, but still not a toy. can be flown in smaller area's.

Make no mistake, the Blade cp pro can still lay a hurtin on you, you get hit in the face with those blades, you will be sorry. I got a blade cp pro from my wife for x-mas last year, i was very disappointed personally. smashed it to pieces the other day, its not worth fixing. A previous crash wiped out the 3n1, which is what caused its demise Saturday. flew around a little bit in front of my house, tail went nuts, and i buried just b4 it went through the rear windshield of my wifes car.

looks like a dream compared to the old CPP I bought a year and a half ago, it's got about $200 worth of upgrades over the old one at least.
