The E-flite® Blade® CP Pro 2 has just taken the RTF 3D micro electric helicopter to the next level. It's the industry’s only fully 3D-capable RTF micro heli that performs aerobatics like backward hurricanes and piro flips right out of the box. Loaded with incredible features and an unmatched level of out-of-the-box 3D performance, the Blade CP Pro 2 is a 3D machine to reckon with.
The high-power 370 main motor offers brushless-like performance, while the direct-drive N60 tail motor and G110 heading lock gyro offer incredibly locked-in tail control. The included E-flite HP6DSM 6-channel transmitter features full range Spektrum™ 2.4GHz DSM2™ technology, that, along with the factory-installed Spektrum AR6100 receiver, provides the locked-in, interference-free performance DSM® is known for. A 2-in-1 control unit offers complete control of the main and tail motors, while three DS75 digtal sub-micro servos deliver precise CCPM control of the Bell-Hiller mixing equipped rotor head.
From its feature-packed design to the level of quality and performance, intermediate to advanced pilots will enjoy testing their aerobatic skills on the Blade CP Pro 2. Never before has so much 3D aerobatic capability been available in an RTF micro CP class helicopter—right out of the box, no additional parts or upgrades required.

Ok, this may be a toy - but it is a toy that requires some Adult supervision. Like a jet ski or a 4 wheeler is a toy. My CP pro 2 flys pretty well - it is twitchy compared to a larger helicopter, but this just sharpens your skills! I'm still getting my all directional hovers and forward flight down, but the Pro2 has really helped me advance my skills - I can fly it in my back yard and its very easy to plug in the battery and go. If you can hover in a simulator this is an excellent introduction to the hobby as it is the cheapest way to have fully capable 3d machine. Also - it is very convenient its small size means a smaller flying area is necessary and the battery pack charges in about 90 minutes (buy an extra!). It is really amazing what E-Flite has included in this package for the price: HH gyro, 6 channel transmitter, servos, speed control, receiver, charger, battery pack, etc... makes you wonder how much they rip you off when you buy the parts separately.
Stay away from Horizon Hobby which owns E-Flite

If your a little bored in your life and wish to threaten the lives of those around you; then I suggest you pick up this Helicopter.
It had the most annoying habit of going into full speed rotation with the modified carbon fiber blades just aching to cut off body parts. A fine piece of engineering if your looking for a meat cutter or a deli slicer. It could be rather novel if it was controllable, which it isn't!
So anyway the unit fried with that fine smell of burnt silicon wafting through the fun fly arena. On the table a foot away in zero speed position sat the radio all alone with no one at the controls. Well no one that is aside from the built in gremlins from Horizon Hobby. It created quite the stir at the fun fly which was attended by fifty or so dedicated fliers who were all quite horrified to witness Horizon Hobby's version of Norman Bates from Psycho.
There were ten highly skilled R/C pilots who witnessed close up the event including the owner of a hobby store that sells Horizon Hobby's products. He assured me that based upon what he witnessed that they would want to determine the problem due to safety concerns as well as stand behind their product and replace it. Oh, they didn't.
Since it fried the fine upstanding folks (sarcasm) at Horizon decided they couldn't tell why it fried. Did they call the Hobby Store owner for his input? No! Maybe they called some or any of the other witnesses, since they refused to believe me? No they didn't. They just told me that it was going to cost me more than the helicopter costs them just to repair. Oh, plus shipping and the cost to ship it to them in the first place.
So if you want to endanger your friends and family members be sure to buy this or other fine products from Horizon Hobby. Besides most of the fliers that I talk to don't recommend this aircraft or others in the Horizon Hobby fold anyway. Buy T-Rex, Align, Beam etc. You'll be happier and your friends will be safer.
