Small RC heli

[halo34]

Ok I know I posted about being a hobby addict.

I used to fly a Raptor 30 up to a reasonable standard (barrel rolls etc.) but that was about a year ago.

Now I fancy something smaller without the noise and nitro problems and fancy the Honey Bee V2 for a quick buzz around the garden.

Anyone got any experiences with this one or should I just not bover as its not worth the cash?

Get a Blade 400, all in one package for about £280. Its a 400-450 size as the name suggests, and is great for flying out side, to big fro inside in my opinion.

i used to fly to a good standard until about 3 years ago, when i gave up, i picked on of these up last year and its great, just charge, get out of the box and fly.

Thats what I fancy, no mucking about with nitro/tuning, just get up and fly since we have a bit of land behind the house - will have a look into that one

Have fun

Have you flown a heli before - if thats got proper control set up its much harder than it looks (just been looking at sims again)

Sounds like your making progress

I remember the first time I lifted off my Nitro Raptor - it was after hrs on a sim and a little heli like that!

Think going to plump for the Blade heli this time round, it seems to be a reasonable size and quite a good package for the cash.

Well I was forced to pay off my CC bill by my mrs instead

So its clear but now I have to wait a few weeks to get one.

The CP2 looks good - can be upgraded too, but there is always that temptation to get one just a bit bigger and better
