Status: offline 		Ive been in r/c for along time, pretty much the majority of my life but that was onland r/c such as 1/10, 1/8 racing truggys, buggys, monster trucks etc... I picked up myself a new JR XP6102 Transmitter with 4 new receivers. My question is what beginer heli would you reccomend that doesnt have counter rotating blades? I was looking at the Axe CP, Rotofly EX, Axe CPv3, HoneyBee, HoneyBee King 2... Im looking to spend around $200 or less.

Status: offline 		I suggest avoiding the helis that have a motor driven tail. But if you really want one I'll sell you my Blade CP+

The honey bee king 2 is very nice for the money. Since you already have the radio you can just buy a "bare bones" version of it + brushless motor (stock brushed motor is worthless), ESC, gyro and servos. I think you should be able to keep all that under 200 and it will fly much better than anything with a motor driven tail.

There's also the Belt CP which is similar to the HBK2 but a little bigger and will be more stable. With the bigger brushless motor + esc I'm not sure if you can keep it under 200 though but you can get the RTF version for right around 200 so I don't know, maybe it is doable.

Oh ya, and batteries, don't forget the batteries

Status: offline 		I plan to go brushless with it and slap a nice 3s lipo in it right after I buy it. Ill need to learn how to control the power though.
