I know for 2008 you can buy the king II with a 2.4ghz radio system.Thats the only difference I am aware of.

Status: offline 		hi everyone. i have a question about my HBK1 and seeing how this thread is more updated than the original HBK's, i wanted to ask it here.

i'm using futaba 7CH remote. i have 2 1500mAh 12C batteries and with those it hovered fine on stock motor. once i accidentally switched to idle up when i was putting the remote on my car seat and didn't realize it and had no idea why the heli suddenly wanted to attack my car's interior. so i had to hold the blades still and unplug the battery while the heli was at full power. needless to say, this little exercise resulted in semi-burnt out ESC. the heli would spin up, but couldn't take off.

i then upgraded to esky 3800kv with 10t and esky 25A esc. i kept all the throttle and pitch curves the same as before and really nothing else has been changed. now, however, the heli refuses to stay in the air. it'll take off a few inches and then go back down and pretty much stay there at full UP on the stick. the longest it would hover is maybe 5 secs. it only takes off right after i use a fully charged batt, then it just stays down 10 secs later. the batteries are fully charged and balanced within +-.01V per cell. the ESC never got hot during initial testing. could it be that the battery doesn't have enough discharge current at 12C? has anyone flown on 12C batteries and 3800kv?

The main blades are ok and spin cw, but the tail moves left to right when you are in hover and standing behind the heli. Not enough head speed i think. I never had this problem with stock motor.

HB CP2 blades are 275mm same as king2 but slightly thinner (about 1mm i think), screw holes a bit smaller and should be shaved(i didnt do it yet).

We ran the stock pulleys BEFORE the 43T without much probs...just got to run 450 tail blades on the tail rotor.

Status: offline 		43T is nice to have. Recently had to go back to stock (no spares after one popped gear and ate it) And I realize how much more control it gives you.

i only have about 3-4 runs on each battery. i'll try to run it for a lil bit to see how quickly they get hot.

another thing... if i get a couple of high discharge ones, i'll prolly go up to 1800, but even with 1500 i can barely get the canopy on and even then it stretches out the holes for the rubber mounts. how does everyone use their stock canopy with long length batteries?

Status: offline 		IMO the 2400 15c is a little big for HBK2. I fly 2 2200 20c and 2 1500 15c's and like the performance of the 1500's better. THe 2200's seem to bog it down. Hobbycity dotcom has the 2200 20c for around $22. Search for ABF 2200mAh 11.1v 18-23C Lipoly on their site.

I'd get something better than the Esky 25a. I burned one out in about a month. You can get a better ESC for that kind of money.

Talk to Mike over @ ushobbysupply. He's a good guy with fast shipping and great prices.

As for those blades and motor, no idea.
