Good Choice?
 

Im new at flying Rc helicopters but very into it...im about to by the ESky Honey Bee 4-Channel RC Helicopter FP Pro.
is this good choice for beginner and is it ok to fly outdoors?

You know the old saying, you get what you pay for. From what I have read, those ESky Honey Bee helis aren't much of a helicopter, a lot of people seem to have a lot of problems with them.

Micro helis aren't a real good heli for a beginner, they are very unstable. People do learn with them, but it's not easy. Micro helis are not much good for outdoors, especially if your a beginner (there can't be any wind at all), micro helis don't like the wind.


P.S
If your really plaining to get into the heli hobby, you should get yourself a good simulator (Reflex, G3 or AFPD). They are a little costly to buy, but they will save you a lot of money in the long run. If it saves you from one good crash, it's paid for itself.

Get to be an expert on the simulator and you can fly any helicopter you want. The guy that bought my Tiger 50 had practiced everyday on the sim for 6 months. We went to the field and he took off flew it around and landed. We took the train gear off and he was off again. He has never crashed it... yet.

I would not agree with the above post. Small, electric, Micro-Helis are too skittish, and touchy for a beginner to learn on. I speak from experience. A beginner will become discouraged quickly with a cheap micro heli.
Bigger is more stable, more expensive and more fun.
It's of course personal preference, but I didn't like my $200 micro-heli after it turned into a $500 heli from all the crashes. And not to mention, the all in one electronics on those things don't work well at all... unless you can rip them apart and move them to different places on the machine.
The receiver will get interference from the other electronics, and make your micro want to do some really blood pressure raising things..

Just myopinion... from experience.
