Hi ' guys , i've been learning to fly with a Honey Bee , fixed pitch , but here in the U.K. we generally have small houses and not much in the way of indoor halls , sport complexes or the like to practice. Combine this with what seems like perpetual rain , or wind , or both ! and the opportunity to fly outdoors is also very limited . I think frustrated is the word i'd use . With all this in mind i've gone and bought myself a Mini Pred 3D V2 . i'm told this is an upgraded version of the Falcon 3D only for the U.K. market (apparently we're very fussy ?). My thinking being it's bigger ,( so apparently more stable ?) and is capable of flying outdoors with light winds . Do you think this is a wise decision , or am i bighting off more than i can chew ? I'd be greatful for any thoughts or tips .

well if its an exceed heli you wont be happy
exceed heli`s are just not good performer`s

It's by Art-Tech and distributed in the U.K. by Century UK Ltd . I get the impression you think this is a bad idea my friend .

honestly yes its the heli not the type

i have had 2 art-tech heli`s and i hate to say this but they were pure junk
ive had exceed heli`s too they to are pure junk

if you want a good 6channel collective pitch heli under 300 us dollar`s id get the esky belt cp v2 alot of good reviews on this heli

im not a fan of heli`s brand that i buy 2 different style`s of and they all turn out to be a total waste of money
e-flite
esky
walkera
align
seem to be the best for qaulity for a budget flier
now this is only MY opinion which comes from many trial and error`s and lots of reading
if you want to spend all your time rebuilding a heli, then get the exceed and art-tech crap.
but me personaly will never buy this junk again
i dont care if its a 500 us dollar heli for 50 dollar`s you`ll spend 3 times the heli`s worth just in repair`s and in repairing faulty parts. its just not worth the hassel
if you notice al most all other heli`s are knock off`s of these heli`s
all most all others, so lets dont get into well this heli`s is this and that heli is that I SAID ALL MOST ALL OTHER HELI`S are knock offs of e-flite,walkera or align

Nothing wrong with it... I have a V1 that copes with anything that has been thrown at it.
Just be careful with your setup and it'll be all good.
Don't trust the RTF thing because they just aint.
Best bet now is a decent TX, your going to be limited by the supplied TX although they are slightly better than E-Sky.

Enjoy your V2 and don't forget to keep your batteries warm with our weather atm.

Seems like we are divided on my choice . Your opinions are appreciated . Suppose i'll soon find out for myself and many repairs later !

i really hope you get a good one
in this hobby its easy to get mad and just throw your hands down and say forget it
but with a GOOD heli, you`ll want more cause it`ll get very adicting
after 4 different heli`s i was all but out of this hobby. i went to my local rc shop and told them what i was looking for in this hobby.they said then i`ll want this heli (blade 400),i said are you sure cause if i get this thing home and have the same problems im comeing back to kick someone`s behind/butt.

they said trust me if you want a very good beginner to advanced heli then this is the one you want. so i get home charge the battery while doing the preflight tunning, put battery in and a year later im still flying the same heli.
i only upgraded the servo`s
now thats how I put a VALUE on a heli

Thanks for your advice Buddy , i agree that if you make poor choices to start it could be soul destroying . However , i'm a determined sort and although new to all this i'm in for the long haul with help from guys like you because when you do get it right it feels fantastic then push your boundries a bit at a time ! At 46 i feel like a kid again , Yahoooo !!!
