Hello I was just wanting to know where you guys purchased your esky stuff. I see most is overseas. How was shipping. How long did it take. None of my local hobby store carry esky stuff. I would like to buy one but dont like the idea of waiting a long time for shipping of parts. Hopefully someone can tell me some good news. Thanks

I use www.helidirect.com for all the non e-sky upgrades.
www.jaghobbies.com for the cheapest prices on e-sky original parts.
My latest adquisition

Another vote for Jag! No shipping confirmation, but the package always arrives before I start wondering where it is. I wish I could say the same for all vendors. For non HBK2 specific parts I like readyheli and helidirect.

Same with BPHobbies, no notice but usually 3 days from coast to coast!

what would be a better heli to buy, the honey bee king 2 or the belt cp. It will be my first . I want to start small before I invest in something big.

well if its your first time flying, i would recommend a FP or co-ax heli.. but if your set on a CP.. probably the king

a few weeks ago my son-in-law each purchased a E-Sky CP. After I quickly crashed mine we agreed to stock up on spare parts. So I placed an order with X-Heli. The total of the order (not including out of stock items) was $255 plus shipping. I waited 6 bus, day to receive the order. The shipping receipt listed $227 orth of parts and my credit card was billed for $227. But I only received $74 worth of parts. Since the recept of the order I have emailed X-Heli 3 times and called them once (that's a joke) to resolve the problem. The best I have received is an email telling me that they will contact me ASAP. However, they have emailed me twice to confirm that I have received the shipment. In each case I have explained the problem and requesed them to contact me. I have entered a dispute with my credit card company and refused any payment over $74. And screw them for the shipping charges. :clappp

Does anyone know a place in the Elgin Illinois area that sells E-Sky Belt CP parts over the counter? I have ordered parts from X-Heli and they are slow and the screwed up the order. I have purchased parts from Hobby Town in St. Charles ILL. over the counter but they don't handle E-Sky they handle E-Flight but some of the parts interchange. So far I can't find anyone that sells E-Sky parts over the counter in my area. :thumbdown:

Haven't seen it, but before I started seeing all these other heli sites like HeliDirect, i used www.hobby-lobby.com

Xheli is fine if they get your order right. Otherwise they are -painful- to deal with.
I've bought many things from BP Hobbies and could not be happier with them. Lots of stuff in stock and very fast shipping.

Never had a problem with Xheli, god knows how much money i've spent with them already on both full setups and parts for multiple people..
Alone RTF Belts i have ordered 7, not to mention parts.....

Oh...btw...all that work I did setting up my Belt perfectly for the guy I sold it to....even went so far as to get that rate gyro setup just right, and tail servo 'just right' so it would hold a nice nose forward hover.
...he didn't even get it off the ground. Flipped it over and beat itself to death on the maiden flight.

BPHobbies, HeliDirect, and Ka-Planes are my Favs for Esky parts, but I find that for my HBFP's, if I do somehunting of other sites (ones that don't carry Esky stuff) I can find some really cool parts as well as interchangeable parts, I know that can be done with all helis but its a little harder for the HBFP.
