I'll add my 2 cents. Friend of mine recently picked up a Fixed Pitch Esky Honeybee at a convetion up here the other day. I was really impressed at it's stability for a FP bird. His came like that out of the box, whereas my GWS Dragonfly required a bit of work (and modification) and tweaking to get anywhere near as stable. I setup and trimmed his bird for him from the box and was hovering almost hands off on the first pack.
They all come with cheapo landing skids that break easily in the event of a hard landing, but otherwise it flew much more docile than my other birds.

If setup properly, they do fly real nice .
