The Cypher 50 is CCPM only so to use a co-pilot you would need the ccpm version....

It does not have the option of mCCPM only electronic... (see my PM)

At present the cypher I would say is better to learn on and more stable than the r50, but the head damping and pitch range is a bit limited for 3d use..

Upgrades are available to increase the cyclic range and stiffen the head for 3d, I have just fitted these to mine and will be testing it again soon (weather and time permitting)...

The only downside I can see of the cypher at the moment for learning is the lack of LOCAL spares backup, but Cyberheli carry them all and can turn them round quickly..

Good luck

The head block is longer above the flybar so the flybar carrier does not touch the blade grips at extreme cyclic travel... you can now get 9 degrees which is way more than you will ever need for 3D...
