Status: offline 		Only reason why I ask is because I'm thinking about buying a Esky Belt CP. It was either that or a HoneyBee FP and the HoneyBee looks like it has a lot of parts that'll break rather easy. What do you guys think?

Status: offline 		Joey, have you ever flown a single rotor heli? If you crash a FP most of the time nothing breaks unless it's a big crash, If you do need parts it's maybe $10 and 30 minutes to fix. If you crash a CCPM it will break because of the higher head speed and its $20 minimum in parts and an hour and a half minimum to repair and setup if you know what you are doing. The comments on the CCPM all come from what I have read (remember I don't on a CCPM). The comments on the FP are personal experience.

Status: offline 		Joey, checkout "Struggling with single rotor basics" thread here on RCU. Those guys have gone thru what you are asking about and have much more experience than I do on this subject and are flying the exact heli you are asking about.

Status: offline 		Hey Bones, what I'm getting from that is there saying in most cases it's eaiser to go CP than FP. They claim that you get too many "delays" and "twitching" from a FP due to the fly bar and Tx. I would just hate to spend the money on a new FP heli and have to put even more money into making it last. The Belt CP give me belt drive, brushless smoothness, and a bigger lipo. I think I'll just make the jump to a nice CP and take my time learning to fly it. It's all about the learning experience with this hobby. I really like my Lama 3 but I feel that I've gotten as far as I can with it at this point. But thank you for hooking me up with that thread. I'm going to read more into it tomorrow and ask a few questions on there as well.

Status: offline 		Hey Joey,

For the money the Esky King 2 is a really nice ccpm heli right out of the box. I personally have one myself. I did find that I dont like the stock gyro(rate gyro) so I replaced it with a GY400 gyro(no longer in production), its a rate and headlock gyro all in one and you can switch between the two modes from the TX. I flew it stock, flies good. But have since upgraded to all aluminum and carbon(except for the frame). The carbon belt cp is a really nice heli too, a customer of mine has one and let me fly it, flies great!!! .

Hope this helps in your quest for a new heli!!!
