There are a few places that do, ushobbysupply does I think (I'm sure he'll see this thread sooner or later and reply) and helidirect and bananahobby also do.

I checked out the sites, looks like banana hobby is the only one that has them in stock,

Any other places to get the RTF Belt cp? Im trying to find a place that will take paypal payment as well.

Yup, RTF's hard to find right now in the US. I have ARTF (brushless, esc gyro, servos) right now, but your not looking for that :>
HBK2 RTF?

I did search google, xheli came up as the cheapest, but I dont trust them, they always mess up orders.

Thanks druss, i saw on the bottomn of the page only credit cards listed, but in checkout, there is like you said a paypal option, im going to wait for ushobbysupply to pm me before i decide where to order from.

Anyone have a good experience with bananahobby?

As a side note, bananahobby has the belt cp carbon fiber edition arf in stock, the only one out of 6 online stores I asked that did (even the ones in hong kong were sold out).

Seems that bananahobby may not be the best choice, more like the worst. I'm going to see how my order goes before I make any final comments. Sometimes it's hard to make a decision when there aren't that many choices.

Unless I've got the model info you're looking for wrong, raidentech claims to have them in stock as well.

Cross country ups 7 - 10 days unless it was sent priorty? I think thats what they call it? You should have a tracking number on the order or sales slip ( for the shipping ). If nothing else call ups and kindly B***H a little

The site in hk says you should be able to track on the US sister site ( USPS ) but it dont work! Ill wait 3 wks then Ill let my dist. have a peace of my mind! Sometimes it gets hung up in customs [:@] Seems that only happens to my shippments [:@][:@][:@][:@]

I've had shipments from hong kong take anywhere from a week to 6 weeks. Depends both on what shipping method and customs (sometimes the security part takes longer if they see batteries or wires...).

Also, I detest UPS, I can't stand them, even the UPS delivery guy who brought my last shipment to me told me to use USPS or Fedex.

Fedex and UPS are merging, they are going to call it FEDUP

i haven't had any trouble getting things from overseas, but i have wholesale accounts with all the places i deal with they tend to take care of businesses better then consumers. I think the cheapest i have seen the Belt-Cp RTF was $169 (i think)

I right clicked on a picture on raidentech to see the properties (looking for the date), and the picture was actually stored on the xheli.com web site. So I checked out that site and did the same on one of their pictures, and it was actually stored on the grandhobby web site. It's one thing to copy someone else's pictures to put on your web site, but to actually leave them on the other site and just link to them, stealing their bandwidth, really seems overboard. My guess it that these sites are somehow tied together. The sites even have a very similar look. The shipping on xheli was 2 or 3 bucks cheaper, though.

I'm considering a new heli for my personal use (not that I actually have time to fly it). I thought I'd try the Honeybee King 2 (about $157 delivered), but now I'm considering the Belt CP (about $205 delivered). I know they're totally different size helis, but the Belt CP also has a brushless setup for the extra $48. It may also have HH gyro, and I don't believe the King 2 does. Does anyone here have experience with both of these?

I have both heli's. Like them both. I did start with the assembled kits, and not the RTF, as I already have my Radio of choice.

I did just recently help someone setup their HBK2, with stock radio gear, and it flew great. (after my fiasco with my HBK2 (my stupidity)), she now flies great. Just a little bigger than a BladeCP, but more stable.

The BeltCP is much larger, same size as TREX. But i feel that it is a better bird than my old trex. Maybe its me, maybe its my setup skills have gotten better, but its much more behaved than my TREX ever was.
