Way to go Bugster!!!

I don’t know why, but I was surprised to see it was FBL. Bugster did your contact mention if it was going to be a RTF or just a barebone kit like the ESky 900? If it’s like the 900, Esky still might not have their own 3axis unit.

He's just seen this pic and has promised more details as soon as he gets them.

Though I'd put money on it being RTF in true Esky fashion.

HELIHANKSTER · 02-08-2012, 11:27 AM

Okay cool, guess we have to wait and see. Here I was thinking that I was done with Esky helicopters…looks like that might not be the case. Wonder if this new FBL head will fit the old Belt CP…hmmm.

Im with ya Hank and I remember the HoneyBee Cool pretty well. Was a total flop and they quickly stopped production.

Wow, wouldn’t that be something, if Esky comes out with an FBL 3axis system and what would be even more spectacular would be a fully programmable Esky transmitter to go with it. Sure the quality and performance might still be questionable knowing Esky’s track record, but just the fact that they are upping their game and trying to come back and compete with Eflite and Walkera would really be cool to see.

Yeah the HB Cool didn’t do well. I can’t remember, did the Cool come out after the original King or did they both come out about the same time?

Viet-Lama · 02-10-2012, 02:46 AM

Pretty sure it was King then Cool and that reject brought on the King II

HELIHANKSTER · 02-10-2012, 06:01 AM

Okay VL, Now tell me how you really feel.

If Esky is trying to come back and does bring out the Prince and Cool 2, hopefully they will be a better (fingers crossed) helicopter than their predecessors.

Oldladypilot · 02-10-2012, 08:21 AM

Besides improving the quality of their products, they should have a "Name our new heli" contest.
"Cool"? "Prince"? Come on!

Steemo · 02-10-2012, 11:13 AM

Complete new range should be named Esky Wasp .........

krashking · 02-11-2012, 01:07 PM

Introducing the all new E-Sky HEAP! comes complete with garbage bag to toss the tx into! And easily accessible rx, so that it may be replaced with Spektrum. And of course all the familiar substandard electronic components all of us E-Sky fans have grown to love! Will keep us all busy in the shop upgrading everything. Yes heli addicts, the all new HEAP will give you months of frustration figuring out what components to buy & replace! And as always, the initial cost of the all new HEAP is half the price of other helis of the same class, but after all the necessary upgrades will end up costing three times as much as a quality brand heli. Thank you for looking at the all new E-Sky HEAP!

Love it KK !
Where and when can I purchase a couple?

Oldladypilot · 02-13-2012, 08:39 AM

Truth in advertising......finally!

boykintom · 02-13-2012, 06:02 PM

OK, I'll agree with a lot of what KK says on this, for the most part he is right. But how many of us would be the pilots we have become (whatever that is) without the tricky, temperamental Bee to train us? I love my 2 Bees; neither have more that a couple of original parts left, but they taught me how to fly and how to repair them to keep them flying, and I won't forget that.
