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'!!!

Owning both, I would agree that the hb cp2 is the better choice. But not ALL parts are interchangeable. Also the eflite tx does have a charge jack.

Really? I heard it didn't by numerous people. Not ALL, but the majority is.

I agree but the included charger didn't work. Anyone else had this problem?

Just my personal observation I find that the Stock Blade CP has a better rotor head than the CP2. Im flying a both helicopters but Im opting out the CP2 rotor head and going with the BladeCP heads. CP2 frame seems to be more fragile(around landing gear points) and so does the rotor head parts. I like the CP2 maingear over BCP. Another thing I find that is lacking is the stock blades on both helicopters. Im finding that the Hummingbird blades are excellent.
The setup I perfer goes sorta like this:
Electronics: about the same (either will do)
Frame: CP2 Best I think overall although may be slightyly more fragile
Motors: about the same
Blades: Hummingbird CNE227 flat bottom (Semi Symetrical)
RotorHead: Stock BCP
Batteries: Lipo 3s 11.1v 1300Mah-1320Mah (helidirect's 19.99 specials)
Doing some experimenting this is the setup that has really worked best for me. Easy to adjust and smooth to fly.

The CP2 has the bell-hiller mixer, which makes it more responsive, I guess it all depends on the user. I reccomend the super landing gear, really worth the price.

Heres the issue im running into, I have the cp2. It uses most of the same parts as the blade. Except the frame. The servos mount diffrent and the frames are totally diffrent. And I have tried tons of places online to get a replacment for my broken frame and they are all on back order. they have been on back order for like 2 months now. if anyone knows where i cna get a frame from please let me know. thanks
