Optional Brushless Main Motor Power System Installation and Setup
The Blade™ CP Pro’s separate 6-channel FM receiver and 3-in-1 control unit allow you the option of upgrading
to a brushless main motor power system, without the need for difficult modifications or a new radio system.
An optional brushless main motor power system can provide added power and/or duration when compared to
the stock brushed main motor power system, and is an excellent choice for those interested in maximizing the
performance and aerobatic potential of their model.
Note: When installing a brushless main motor power system, we also highly recommend the
installation of an optional heading lock type gyro to help maximize performance of the tail due to the
added torque and performance the brushless main motor will provide.
We have tested a wide variety of motor types, in a wide range of Kv (rpm/v) values, and gear ratio combinations
in the Blade CP Pro. While many combinations offered a noticeable improvement in power or duration when
compared to the stock brushed motor, we found the following recommended power system combination (and
required supporting accessories) to provide the best balance of added power while also maintaining good flight
duration when using the included 3-cell 800mAh Li-Po battery pack:
