To get back to the thread starter - the cp is challenging and a handful in the slightest breeze, but for not much money you get a flying helicopter that in calm conditions is a lot of fun to play around with - just don't expect too much from it. In otherwords you get what you pay for - the cp cost only 1/3 of a normal complete heli. There are countless pros and cons and from reading all the forum inputs the opinions range from it being a fairly stable and aerobatic capable funster thats well worth the money and gets even better with the available upgrades, to a squirrely little monster that spends more time broke than flying with atrocious tail hold, a gutless stock motor and high consumption of ten quid tail motors. The thing is they're all true! The question is then 'can you find a better handling more stable and controllable, yet inverted capable heli, for about the same money? - if so, lets all go out and buy one

I learned to fly with the older version of the Honeybee CP2, which is pretty much identical to the Blade CP (other than canopy). Even now that I have done rolls, loops and flips with my Honeybee, I am not tired of it. Once I even got it hovering inverted and didn't crash! I haven't got up the nerve to try any of these things with my trex. For me, the smaller size makes the honebyee less intimidating and more relaxing to fly than my trex. But I have to say the power and larger size of the trex makes it way more cool.
