what honey bee is this?
Im getting a heli for free from a friend...its a honey bee thats a few years old........would this be the fixed pitch model?
I think it went for about $200 new when it just came out.
How hard is it to fly compared to a blade cx?

RE: what honey bee is this?
Hi minitman,
If it is simply named the esky honey bee then yes it is a fixed pitch helicopter. This helicopter has been around for a long time and lots of other companies have made versions almost identical to it. It is a fairly easy entry level helicopter that does come with it's problems. The technology used at the time was not the best when regarding the tail motor control and gyro function. You will find setting the gyro pot and tail function to be frustrating in the beginning as blade cx did not use a tail rotor for control. Also this helicopter does not accept lipo batteries if it is more than 4 years old which means you will experience a reduced flight time compared to others.
Overall though this heli is very easy to get used to and learn to fly if you have arleady flown and counter dual rotor heli. It's all a matter of wether you get a lemon or that very special all working honey bee.
There are several different heli's using the same design and parts (also if you break them you could look to these for spares)
