First of all. WOW, what a price!



I paid over $250 including shipping to get my CPII from the US distributer. So for what is accepted as the best value for money stabilizer it is amazing



As for the unit, it is ok. I found it really frustrating to fly with. Even with stick priority at maximum, the CPII would still try and control my bird when I was moving sticks at hover, this makes a lot of simple turns trickier.



Awesome for learnign to h

Lo mejor que hay en estabilizadores , yo tengo 3 en mis helicopteros y son parte escencial ya que los han salvado infinidad de veces de accidentes aun que ya tengo bastante experiencia no lo he querido quitar son como un seguro para mis aparatos cuando pierdo perspectiva o me deslumbra el sol de inmediato los prendo y en menos de 1 segundo el helicoptero esta en hover esperando a que yo decida mi siguiente movimiento, si hubiera 10 estrella sin duda las pondria!!!

have not tried it yet, only play around with the programming unit. It came with the AAA batteries. The sensors are pretty small. They look bigger in the picture.

Fitted to a JS90 nitro heli, works very well. When the CPII is active the fell of the heli is a little off putting due to fighting the CPII. With the unit off and 7deg angle set it works with the pilot very well and you don't really notice it in the back ground but when you let the sticks go it sits in a nice hover with slow drift.
VERY VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS!

The FMA4 has to be the best training system,it gives the novice the confidance to fly
Works as advertised and easy to set up
Had a first time novice flying by himself imediately
And it is great for landing assist as it holds the aircraft on course while you reduce throtle and presto a perfect landing
Best thing ever made for rc flying

Got this for a new build HK 600.Fitted on tail boom on the horizontal stabilizer platform. Used HK ST-FOAM-DB, Peel-n-stick foam tape. Got it all mounted and set up. Read the manual which all made sense save for the trim and angles setup which required a couple of reads to sink in. After about 9 cautious hover and trim episodes had it pretty much set up then the main sensor popped off the mounting foam about a foot off the ground and that nearly caused a disaster but I was able to get down in one piece. Have since fixed the sensor with cable ties as well so its not going anywhere the boom does not go first.

Took it out today and it flew and stabilized as advertised. Now it is a matter of adjustments (CPII and flying style) until I am happy with how it works. So far so good.

Tips
Trim out fully before you fit
Firmly attach the sensors, cable ties for total security and test on the ground with hand heat for correct reaction.
Ajust gyro gain if setting through CPII until you are happy.
Ajust CPII gains to eliminate any nodding etc similar setup for gyros to get a solid non wagging lock
Ajust trims to get a stable hover as required (each flight ?)
Start flying and start adjusting stick priorities until you are happy.

All in all looks like a good, solid heli saving product.

If you are going to fit yourself you will at least be able to hover tail in and trim out before you can
