Is the Honey Bee V2 FP an easy heli to fly after flying a CoAxial model?

Not really an easy to hover helicopter as is a bit squirrely - do you want stable hover or to try mild FF??
For a stable hover try a bird with a 45º flybar such as a Walkera [link=http://www.xheli.com/wahmcbhe2mee1.html]CB180D[/link]; or a [link=http://www.xheli.com/wahymecbai2o.html]CB180Q[/link] if you prefer the "fuselage" look

P.S. I own and fly all of the models that both you and I have mentioned.
Edit: I've just found that HeliDirect.com sells [link=http://www.helidirect.com/walkera-walkera-cb180d-metal-c-1_38_237_1216.hdx]spare parts[/link] for the Walkera CB180 series[sm=thumbs_up.gif] - as I get my birds & parts from other on-line stores out of HongKong such as Miracle-mart.com It is closer to my location and works out cheaper for shipping!

You're quite welcome

P.S. There is a thread I contribute to for the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9394451/tm.htm]CB180D[/link] also - worth a read while you wait for your new bird to arrive

In case you haven't discovered it by now the Falcon 40 is a clone of the original Honeybee! (and they are both clones of the Walkera DF#4) I'd choose the HBv2 anyday of the week...........[sm=thumbs_up.gif] It really is a great FP!
