Blade CP Pro or Esky Honey Bee CP2...

[Sgt_BF_Gunner]

I've got a T-Rex 450SE and waiting on delivery of my Raptor 50 Titan...

I still have a hankering for one of the tiny guys... A Blade CP Pro or a Honey Bee CP2. CP2 comes with a 11.1 Lipo 1300mAh!

Anyway, LHS guys say stick with the T-Rex, these little guys are too twitchy, not enough head speed, etc. I think they are pretty neat and would like to tinker with it and maybe improve my hover/flight skills.

Can you ever have too many heli's???

I think that if I can fly one of the little guys, my T-Rex will be that much easier and my Raptor will be even better.

Honey Bee is about $155 and CP Pro $249. Heck the RTF Honey Bee costs about the same as ONE good digital servo.

Are these helis toys, or a "micro" addition to a nice heli fleet?

Thanks,
Gary

I think there are the same heli based on this info (http://www.4-rc-helicopter.com/index.php?action=artikel&cat=5&id=81&artlang=en). I have a blade cp and it is good

I had a HoneyBee CP2 for a while. I thought it was an amazing value. Like any heli, you can tinker with it and make it fly better. But buying an RC heli that is complete, and aerobatic right out of the box for under $200 was almost unthinkable to me.

Only if some of them tend to get jealous :mrgreen:

Honey Bee is about $155

Do make sure you're getting the collective pitch version (mine was the CP2).

Honey Bee ESky or Honey Bee FP, these are 4 channels helicopter. Honey Bee CP2 is the 6 channels one. So when you compare the price, make sure you're comparing the same product, CP2 is 6 ch and it is more expensive than the 4ch one. The price is about US$ 140 - US$ 180 range. The 4CH one should be around US$ 100 - US$ 120. Try to search around

I'm almost sure the one I had was the Honey Bee CP2, made by ESky. It did have collective pitch.
