Default RE: Esky Belt CP or Esky HoneyBee FP for a beginner


ORIGINAL: whagen01


So I ordered a Belt CP from Ebay, and am waiting for it to arrive from China. Cost was $195, incluing extra main/tail rotor blades and training kit. I'll see how well that "slightly easier to fly" assumption works out. But hey! I've found out that xheli.com stocks repair parts for the Belt right here in the US of A, so I don't have to wait as long for them!
So far I've spent $225 on simulators, and at around four times that on helicopters and repair parts. Now I'm searching Ebay for upgraded radio parts. And the journey is only just beginning! The addiction has started! Hey little boy, the first one's FREEEEEEEE!
xheli is not the best place to buy, poor customer service and very little communication. helidirect, ushobbysupply and ka-planes all carry esky parts.
