**No Longer For Sale** Keeping it instead.

Honey Bee CP2 6 channel remote control stunt heli + Lots of extras (see below).

I say it's practically new, because i took it out the box for it's first flight and it went up about 15cm off the ground and i landed it. Only downside was i then placed the controller on the floor and a button flicked up on the back of the controller to send it a little mental. I grabbed it before it went through my plasma tv, and my arm came worse off.

I tried to fly it again, but it failed. So.... I bought a new crystal set, a new main controll thingy (Like an ECU on the heli that the crystal sits in) only to find that i burnt out one of the servo's.

So, bought 2 new servo's and at the same time i also bought:
Training feet
Training simulator with USB 6ch controller
A set of Esky screwdrivers
Blade degrees set.

So all in all, it's cost me about £220 and i've got no idea on how to fly the blasted thing, and it's been sitting in front of my TV for the last 3 months. so i'm giving up.

Not too sure what it's worth with all the bits, but if someone wants to offer me something for it, or swap it for an RC car or even just give me some of your money, then i might consider before i try and decapotate my other arm on it's next flight.

All works fine as far as i'm aware, the blades all go round as they should - would need setting up again for the pitch and angle of the blades etc. looking for about £150?

When they say, they are easy to fly.... i think they should change that to - need a degree in flying with at least 10 years experience.

I've never flown a heli before, but rest assured - if you've not flown one before - you will crash this!

just a guide these can be bought for £139 new....second hand and crashed!? half price maybe more realistic....starter heli's try a twister bell 47 much easier to fly...good luck with the sale...might be able to shift it to a guy at work will ask him tomorrow.

you really need to practice practice practice.

Run in around on the ground with the training gear on until you get the hanh of what does what. Always fly with the tail facing you as if you were sat in the cockpit.

Its a really addictive hobby once you get hooked.

yeah - they have come down in price since i bought mine :-(

bugger it.. I'm keeping it.

Will try to get it airbourne on sat. The PC controller i've got and software i'm a whizz at.. I mean i can do the back flips and the upside down flying etc... But flying it for real is a different story ;-)

trust me mate.

Thats how I was,... then suddenly it was like a switch going on in my head and it started to fly.

Always stay in-tail flight.
