Status: offline 		I have a Honey Bee FP and the parts keep breaking. The paddle control frame conection balls keep breaking off. I havent been able to take off without them breaking off. Are there any Honey Bee FP aluminum upgrades that I can put on it? This has been so frustrating and I havent even flown it more than 3 seconds before it lifts off and banks left and forward at Mach 6.

You can try gluing the balls back on with CA then wrapping the break with thread then soaking the thread in CA, it works good but wont survive another crash.
It sounds like your completely out of trim or out of balance if it's shooting off in some direction. The FP and really any micro with skid to the left when you lift off, the trick is giving it a burst of throttle to get it up over 12" off the ground and then slowly applying speed to lift it up higher, you will however have to compensate a little for the ground effect as you lift off.
Make sure your FP is balanced and that your swashplate is level.

It does sound like you definately have a trim problem. What I would do is with the training gear on get the heli so it is a bit light on the skids and it doesn't lift off, make sure to do this in no wind, and trim the heli so it doesn't move around too much. It will have a tendancy to go to the left, so don't trim all of that out, or when you get out of GE or about 2 to 3 feet in the air, then your heli will really want to go to the right.

It sounds like you could use some setup though. Also before you do that to get a rough ballpark, level the swash plate, so perpendicular to the mainshaft, in all directions
