Status: offline 		Hi all, Im ordering a CF frame for my Honeybee FP.

I was looking at a Tail Belt Conversion kit on HeliHobby and was thinking as to wheather it would be possible to mount that onto the FP honeybee. The original HB had problems with being Tail heavy but im guessing the upgraded fibre frame will help that.

I guess the advantage will be to get rid of those tail motors that are always burning on a bad landing.
It would be an issue with getting a servo in instead off the tail motor.

Would i have to ditch the 4 in1 and put in a esc and gyro?
Anything else i havnt though of besides CG and lifting weight?

Status: offline 		Ah cool THanks mate, Just what i was looking for.

The guy at my LHS said it might be a waste of time and told me to get a Deacent CP
But i allready have 2 CP helis and thus have no real need for another.
So that extra hundred $$$ is going into my HB FP upgrades.

Wrapped my round a tree branch yesterday and pretty much totaled it.
No sense in buying the flimsy airframe when i can get a durable one thatll be better for pattern flying.

I was looking at the Conversion Belt Kit and was wondering if it will end up fitting the FP fibre frame or wheather i could get the new
King II fibre frame and drop in the Rotor Head and Gear set.

Maybe ill do some more digging but,

Will i need a more Peppy motor
and will i have to replace the 4 in 1 and hook up a gyro to the rudder servo
or will the servo just go in plug n play so to speak.
