RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

As long as all my birds are in the air I usually fly a pack (10-12 minutes) through the HBFP and the Belt CP each day at lunch. Then on the weekends if the wind is mild I'll fly two packs through the...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hang in there. As you get more stick time with the 450 and get more relaxed flying it, the training that you did on the FP will be invaluable and becomemore evident. It's hard to tell at first, but...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Chuck,
I haven't designed one yet for the main motor, but it is on my to do list. Are you looking for one to fit the stock motor or the Xtreme 380?

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Chuck,
I did allot of testing on motor temps and used a few different devices. The best I found was the Fluke Ti25 (http://www.tequipment.net/FlukeTi25.html). It's a thermography imager which...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Guys,

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Peter,

I hadn't tried flying the King 2. It seems a little more docile than the...

Hey Peter,
I don't have the Hidden Mountain landscape. Where did you get it?

I recorded a flight with the radio on. When I played it back I couldn't believe how much stick...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey again Peter,
I was just looking at the picture ofyour Walkera. What am I looking at? Where are the flybar paddles? I see the short flybar and weights, but no paddles. Interesting!
On another...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Trevor,
I'm on my second 380 right now. When I got the first one I ran it with a 9 tooth pinion, then switched to an 11. I thought it ran better with the 11. It still had lots of power when I...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Chuck,
That was a pretty brutal crash! Ouch... I know what you mean about the sweaty palms. Same thing happens to me.
Lately I've been getting my parts from Heli Direct. They have quitea bit...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

I agree with Dave. The first time I spooled up my Belt I thought it was going to fly apart and kill everyone in a 15 ft radius! Once you get used to the aggressiveness and get her dialed in...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Peter,
I took your advice and bought three of those FOB cameras. For $13.00 each, I couldn't pass them up.There are some web sites out there selling them for$99.00 each!
I plan to put one on...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

I've got some HBFP video that my wife took during our Thanksgiving campout. We were goofing around and wanted to see how much weight the bird would lift. Once I get it edited I'll post it. It was...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Chuck,
I was reading about your motor heat problem. Two other things can make your motor run hot. Cold solder joints on the motor and failing brushes. I did allot of testing with the DD tail...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Guys,
I've tried both the EZ and XP blades. I'd say that if you're just getting into an FP, the EZ would be a good investment. But if you've already been flying on stock blades for awhile the...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Hey Peter,
I looked at the link you sent. That's a bummer because I also have the other version. In looking at the new central head design it looks like they're leaning toward a CP head. The new...

RE: New Honey Bee FP V2

Ya, no kidding.
I'll tell you, if they don't get it right on the money with this design it will bind so badly that the flybar won't be able to move freely. I'd be interested to hear from someone...
