I had originally decided to get a honey bee 2 off ebay because it seemed like a good heli in my current price range, but now I also see an E-sky Phoenix on eBay. Just wondering whats the difference between the two and which is better.

This doesn't answer your question but check out hobbyJapan2000. They sell the eSkys cheap and shipping only take 2-3 days. I've ordered from them a few times.

They list the different models so maybe you can see the difference there.

HTH

i found [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5965363097&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1]This Phoenix[/link] on eBay. Just wondering if anyone had bought from the seller before? The phoenix looks pretty much like the honey bee here... in fact some of the pix are of the honeybee. i just don't know if the "phoenix" has a quality worth that price...

I think the "phoenix" is their own branding. The same eSky on other sites do not seem to have the heat sinks. ...I could be wrong.

i dunno, but i like that it comes with 2 Lipo batts, and the heat sinks, etc... that'll save me from buying a second lipo and the heat sinks, which i had planned to do already anyway.

Go for it!

People on this website have said that hobbyjapan is a bad dealer. How is it really?

That phoenix does look like the HB but it's more expensive. I would just get the best deal.

I've ordered from hobbyjapan2000 twice with no problems. Both times I got my order in 2 full business days. I ordered a Honey Bee and K-27.

got an email back... the phoenix is the honeybee, they just include different canopy decals and different extra stuff...
