You should be ok. The Belt CP is just bigger size rc heli than the King 2

You will like how stable the bird is over the king. one thing on the belt is the feathering shaft they are soft if you do one blade strike it will bend so if you have a miss hap that the first place to go before flying again. The main drive gear is weak right wear the one way bearing it it will crack their most of the time if you hit something. rest of the heli is good the head has got play but not nothing that bad. I started with the king 2 good heli and went to the belt cp and a new TX and the radio was a god sent from the stock one went with hitec 55 servos.
one note on the Belt CP it do's not have a rock soled hover i think it has to-do with the slop in the head and the oring are on the soft side it has a good forward flight and ween you go and turn give it a nose up and it will not dive on you. But a good cheap heli.
On the hovering I just got in the RC heli a year ago i went to a fly in and i could not in no way hold the heli in one spot it would wonder on me so i let a guy at the fly in fly it that has flew heli for some time and he could not do much better. so if it wants to go left to right you will have to-do some head work to make it rock soled.
hope some info helps

All I do to the belt CP's we sell is to rebuild the head and file the brass bushings on the control arms to lessen the slop. I also resize the ball links too. I also balance the flybar paddles, the flybar is measured with a digital caliper and then we add some flybar weights to tame the heli. Also we change the servos to HS 65's and suggest to the customer to later on upgrade the swash plate to a metal one. Also if you are just hovering, move the servo links inside about 1-2 holes towards the center of the servo arms.
