Default Basic question

What should the pitch be set at on the fly bar paddles for the Honey Bee FP & is it the same for the CP2 model?

Default RE: Basic question

Thanks for you quick answer. I have mastered coaxial helicopters. I am ready to fly my Honey Bee, CP2, & Honey Bee King 2.

Am I hooked or what? I own all 3.

Tell me what is different when I get the machine off the ground compared to the tail rotor machines. What should I be doing
different as to the helicopers attitude or what it does different when I get it off the ground compared to what I would do with
a coaxial model. I've tried a little, but it's just like I started with a coaxial. The helicopter was in charge at first. I want to try
to save myself crash times. Please give me some hints or instructions to be successful. Guess it's mostly about the tail rotor
that's different?
Thanks!

if you pitch the paddles about 2-3 degrees you will have a little easier time hovering, if you pitch them down about the same it's supposed to ff better (less ballooning).

the biggest difference between the coaxle and the "regular" heli is stability. A main/tair rotor heli isnt stable, you have to control it all the time, a coaxle will almost fly it's self.
