This article basically tells you what parts you need to either upgrade the CP to the CP Pro, and what parts you will need to downgrade the CP Pro to the CP.



== Upgrading the CP to the CP Pro ==

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1110B EFLH1110B] - main motor with a 9T pinion (required for the higher lipo voltage) $10

or

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLM1950 EFLH1950] - 9T pinion for the stock motor (you'll also need a pinion puller to change this out) $2

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1132 EFLH1132] - main motor heatsink (atleast one, but two wl  fit) $3

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1131 EFLH1131] - tail motor heatsink (atleast one, but two will fit) $2

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1170 EFLH1170] - Bell Hiller mixer upgrade kit $25

or

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1171 EFLH1171] - Bell Hiller Grip set $10

and

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1172 EFLH1172] - Bell Hiller mixer arms and pushrods $5

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLC3105 EFLC3105] - 3s balancing lipo charger 800mA $23

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLB0995 EFLB0995] - 800mA 10C 3s lipo battery $38





''Optional - needed for a full change over, but not to get the just of it''

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1147B EFLH1147B] - symmetrical main blades $16

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1031 EFLH1031] - 3 in 1 Control Unit (Mixer/ESC/Gyro) $45

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1036 EFLH1036] - 6 Channel Rx $25

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1046 EFLH1046] - CP Pro Tx with idle up (3d mode) throttle curve adjustment, and remote gain (requires an add-on gyro like the g90) adjustment (or whatever else you decide to use channel 5 rotary knob for) $55

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1312 EFLH1312] - grey CP Pro canopy w/decals $13 (yellow one also available [http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1313 EFLH1313])



'''Total Cost w/out Optional Equipment''' = $83 to $101






== Downgrading the CP Pro to the CP ==

Basically all you are going to need is the CP Blade grips, unless you also wanted to downgrade the battery for less power (could possibly be easier to fly)

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1162B EFLH1162B] - Hiller blade grips $8



''Optional - needed for a full change over, but not to get the just of it''

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1147A EFLH1147A] - flat bottom main blades $15

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1061 EFLH1061] - 9.6v NiMH battery pack $17

[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1125 EFLH1125] - 9.6v NiMH charger $8

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLH1110C EFLH1110C] - 10T main motor (if you down grade the battery you will also have to change the main motor pinion to a 10T) $10

or

---[http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFLM1951 EFLM1951] - 10T pinion for the stock motor (you'll also need a pinion puller to change this out) $2



'''Total Cost w/out Optional Equipment''' = $8





== Conclusion ==

Basically you can see that it is worth the extra $30 bucks to start out with the CP Pro and downgrade it to the CP, rather than start with the CP and upgrade it to the CP Pro.  Starting with the CP Pro also makes it easier to go with a separate gyro and/or brushless, and gives you another channel on the receiver for remote gyro gain (requires an add-on gyro like the g90), or whatever else you want to use it for.
