Default RE: Trying to decide on a RC Helicopter

I was told by many people that the CX2 was "really easy to learn on." Thats great, but my number one problem with that was that I wanted a heli that would give me a challenge and continue to do so for quite some time into the future. The second problem is that once you have the CX2 down and you do finally make the move to a collective pitch heli- IT IS A WHOLE NEW BALL GAME! Flying the CX2 is nothing compared to flying a CP(So I have heard). So why make the move? Why not just stick with the same thing?

I bought originally a Blade CP Pro- fully areobatic- figured I would get there in a year or so. It was a mistake. The CP is always needing changes- tail motor, main motor, snapped tail boom, blah blah blah. The worst part of it all was the the replacement parts were expensive as hell!

I recently made the switch to a HoneyBee King 2. I HIGHLY reccommend it! It is very cheap to repair, and it is very reliable. I could buy two sets of woodies for the price of one Blade CP set. If you are looking for a reliable and stable heli, I would recommend the HBK2 to you.

I hope this helped- if you want more info PLEASE do not hesitate to PM me- I am more than willing to help out a fellow newbie!
