Blade CP+ for Sale - SOLD!

About a month ago I decided to try another of the Blade CP helicopters. Fortunately, I was able to pick up about where I left off with my other Blade CP a few years ago. This time, I was able to gain some proficiency in nose-in flight and fly around a bit. My plan is to sell the Blade CP+ and maybe move up to a larger scale helicopter.

The Blade CP+ has only flown in my basement, and has never been in a crash. The tips of the rotors got a little dinged up from hitting a floor support post, but that's it. I had bought a crash kit that included new blades, so I put them on for the sale. Also included is an extra set of flybar weights that have been installed per the instructions to dampen control response a bit. They can easily be removed. The entire package is in like-new condition.

The picture below shows what comes with the Blade. Not shown is a spare main rotor shaft that I bought "just in case." Click on the photo to a larger version.

Airplanes and Rockets - Blade CP+One other thing. While making an adjustment in the rotor tracking after replacing the blades, I went to bend one of the pushrods a little and snapped it where the threads begin. The picture below shows the repair where I overlapped the two broken ends, wrapped them with fine copper wire, tinned, and soldered them together. The joint is absolutely of high integrity, and the Blade flies perfectly with the repair. I held a NASA soldering qualification certificate at one point in my electronics career and know how to make a good joint.

Here is a very short video of its last flight before being packed back in the box for shipping.
