Default first post...please help guyz..

hi all...

After having read some forums and lil research into this i have decided to get a e-sky honeybee cp2 as for my first helicopter. "(have been parctising in fms simulator for a month)". I know some say that for a beginner a blade cx or lama or picollo would be good but the thing is i cant just keep on buying heli cause am restricted to my budget so for me its gonna be a one time shot. Also i reside in india and finding a decent r.c heli is like finding ghots out here...hee hee...so i have to depend on online internet stores and bear extra charges for shipping+custom duty of 35% on the total cost of the heli. Well as am in india i had to find an online store located in asia(probaply near china and stuff) cause shipping would be low from there, and so i choose for this site hobbyjapan2000.com. As you guyz have a lot of experience regarding crashes and spare parts to own i am thinking to order these spare parts along with my cp2..kindly see to it if am missing something imporatant that i would be needing.

1.li po battery 2200mah
2.one set of training gear
3.tail motor
4.main motor
5.2 sets of tail blade
5.heat sink for both the motors
6.fly bars
7.skid set
8.2 sets of plastic rotor blades
9.pitch gauge

this is what i have thought of ordering along with my cp2..as i know a very little about what parts generally get damaged in a crash it would be a great help if you guyz could state the parts that are important and not in my list.

other things i would like to know...

Is my decession correct for buying the cp2 ?
i am going to order for a mode 2 model transmitter..is it correct?
will the 2200 mah battery be too heavy for the cp2?

Lastly has any one had experience with hobbyjapan2000.com and if anyone knows better online stores which are asia based say hong kong, china etc..cause its near to india and shipping would cost less.

hoping to get some help here...
regards
