I have 2 hawk pros and love them. I fly my primary hawk pro almost everyday and have over 100 flights. It is very maint. free after the intermediate shaft mod. I also have raptor 50 and caliber 5 and actually feel at home with my hawk.As far as the electric...anything is possible i suppose but may be alot of work. I would look at trex 600 for electric heli of this size.

My experiance with eSky is they are a lower build quality than Century. I did an electric conversion on a 600 size, it wasn't too bad to do, but the cost of batteries is a killer. The suggested trex 600 is a six cell, which isn't too much but I hear one of the best upgrades is to go eight cell, and it's quite a jump in cost. I run two 4S3P packs and my Pantera conversion runs great, but....
the two you mention are very different - smaller electric vs larger nitro. Do you currently have nitro support equipement, do you have experiance tuning?

i have tuned nitro trucks would that help at all? well the reason why i was thinking of these two was because if heli isnt for me i could just buy an electric one. but if i start out with the honey bee king 2 and i love it i can always build my own pro hawk or buy the ultimate combo threw towerhobbies.
