I have compiled a small guide to show you the comparisons and cost-effectivness between these two micro helicopters.
We'll start this off with the E-Flite Blade CP, and show you how much it costs to get it up to the Honeybee CP2, which is cheaper and has better features.


E-flite Blade CP - $220.00
370 Motor w/9T 0.5M Pinion - $9.99
Symmetrical Main Blade Set - $15.99
Bell-Hiller mixer Upgrade - $24.99
1000 mah 3 cell 11.1v lithium polymer batteries (2) - $60.00
E-sky Li-po charger - $30.00

TOTAL: $360.97


E-sky Honeybee CP2 - $180.00

TOTAL: $180.00

As you can see, the Honeybee CP2 by E-sky is clearly more cost effective. Numerous users have commented on E-sky parts being hard to find. A majority of E-flite Blade CP parts are interchangeable with the E-sky Honeybee CP2, making it truly the better value. The transmitter paired with the CP2 is also better. It features a built in charge jack, and the Idle up switch is located on the left side of the transmitter. This is a huge feature over the Blade CP, as all quality radios feature the Idle up on the left side. There has been accounts where users would upgrade to a larger helicopter coming from the Blade CP. They mean to switch it into Idle-Up, but accidently flick the wrong switch as the controls are different. I hope beginner and advanced flyers alike looking to purchase the Blade CP will go for the better value; good luck and keep flyin'!!!
