Status: offline 		Well i have been attempting flight for about 4 months i can hover go forward flight n backward flight. I have a blade cp, cant say i hate it for i know this hobby is dificult. I guess my question is. Well my cp is down for the moment bend main shaft. Do i continue to fix this bird, switch to a king2 or go for the belted cp? any help would be appreacited. I also know most of this is personal prefrence.

Status: online 		I personally recommend the beltcp. The b400 is more expensive out the door and the spares are definately more expensive. the one plus i for the b400 is the radio. But if you go BeltCP ARF, with a DX6i, you have nearly the same bird.

I have seen the B400 and it is so close to the beltcp in build and parts (some b400 parts work fine on the beltcp) that it makes you wonder whether it came from the same factory.

Status: offline 		i Know what u mean i ride moutain bikes and all the frames are basically comeing from same factory just a little bit different design n names u know. I like the belted it seems nice and im a little tight on money. Will the stock radio be ok or should i just bite the bullet and save for a bit and go with the arf and dx6i

Status: offline 		im in the same boat as you pretty much, I can't decide between the blade 400 or belt cp, Im tight on money as well and cant dish out 400 on a blade 400 and then replace the servos, as many say the stock ones fail.

Status: offline 		If you do a search for sellers of the Esky (E-Sky) Belt CP then you should find them all at or around $200. I suggest you keep an eye on the esc as they can over heat. Get some spare parts like shafts and blades with the heli if you can.

Status: online 		I would recommend the BeltCP. The stock tx is flyable, and pretty decent (not top shelf, but not bottom of the barrel either).

Status: offline 		just my 2 cents If I was going to buy another King from what I know now I would buy a frame only and work up from there as I dont see many parts on mine anymore that are king parts except the frame(s) main shaft and ... hmm think thats about it now. OH wait I still can fit the stock canopy on it.

Status: offline 		i recommend you Belt-CP too. I would also recommend you to use some of the Blade400 and trex 450 parts to make it more durable.
