Status: offline 		Hey guys....i've been flying the Blade cx2 for alittle while now and i think i've outgrown it.....i need sumthing that can fly outdoors in light wind now. I'm in jamaica so i'm goin to have to import it and want one that parts are available and cheap and doesn't give alot of trouble or has defects. I've been researching some Fixed Pitch Single blade helis and would like to hear some feed back as to which is the best one to get; taking quality, parts availability, parts price, upgrade parts availability, upgrade parts price and basically which one is jus more durable and the best heli for the money. i'll jus list wat i'm interested in and please feel free to comment on them from your experiences.

The first is the Radio Control Esky Honey Bee2 4CH Electric RC helicopter RTF which is about or jus under $100.

The second is the Walkera Dragonfly 76C 4CH Electric RC Helicopter RTF which is alittle more than $100 at about $110....this Heli's is FP but the pitch can be altered with some screws.

The third is the Electric Radio Control Walkera Dragonfly04 4CH RC Helicopter Version2 RTF which is the cheapest priced of the 3 at around $90

Status: offline 		I would buy the honey bee mk. 2

I have one, it is the best flying fixed pitch i ever flown, and it is relatively tuff

esky helis are less work to make fly well than most walkeras

Status: offline 		Ditto on that! fixed pitch is super fun without the need for tons of parts when it breaks! WAAAY less stuff to setup and really tuff! The CP's are kinda hard to get going to begin with and are very frustrating for someone who is just starting into the hobby. Even if you decide to get a really good CP, you'll always love flying one of these little babies!! (besides which, it'll give you something to fly while your CP is being fixed!!!)
I recommend the Esky version as it's the best bang for $$$ ($90 on Xheli) Spares are pretty cheap too and they do ship internationally I think.

Go to Youtube and enter this in the search (copy/paste): Honeybee FP 2 days after receving it honey bee

Cool little vid I found good song to go with it!. Shows a guy flying his HB mark II outside. Parts are interchangeable with the EF Sabre and I believe the venom Night Ranger II (which is just an upgraded knock-off of the DF4, which is a knock off of the.......ETC)

Good luck!
