I really appreciate all the input.

I have narrowed the option between 2 similar if not the same helis, but I am still on the fence between the blade cp and the honey bee cp2.

Blade cp (price 189$ shipped, out of stock ATM)
- doesnt come equipped with bell/hiller
-possibly has better quality control over the Esky


Esky cp2 (price 188$ shipped, in stock)
-equipped with bell/hiller (i know this makes things extra sensitive, but also gives room for growth)


It has been said that parts may be easier to find for the blade cp at your LHS, but I do most of my shopping online anyhow. I suppose for emergencies this would be a beneift as you may need something fairly quick. I am leaning towards the Esky cp2. What do you think?
