A word on the SIM. I have yet to purchase my first heli as well, but since ive been looking, i know that some of the helis (including the Honey Bee 2 CCPM) have a SIM included, and also include the radio for the heli but have a cord that connects it to the computer for the SIM. So youd be using the same controller for both SIM and Heli.

As i said, this is only what ive seen and im not a pro on the topic, but this seems like a great idea to me. plus the fact you can get all this, a collective pitch heli, the battery, a charger (crappy one ive been told) and training gear, all for about $170 new on ebay.

it seems okay to me, but maybe someone else knows more about this product.
but if your gonna spend 200 on a SIM anyway? maybe this is alot better move?

UPDATE: There is a dealer in Cali that has a deal on Ebay now for the Kit and its $136. Add $35 shipping costs in US.
Hope this might help? If you need to search "Honey Bee" under toys and hobbies and it should come up.
