About My Helicopters


I have recently got back into R/C. I have 2 ESky Lama V4's and 1 ESky
Honey Bee FP Mrk III R/C Helicoptor (Comes with a Lipo Battery)and a
fairly stock Honey Bee FP built from barebones . They can be flown indoors
and outdoors on calm days. I'm having a blast flying and doing some
upgrades on them. One V4 was for all the spare parts and repairing crash
damage, but I fly it also. I've been hanging out at the RC Groups Forum,
the guys there have been a ton of help. I fly with a Spektrum DX7 DSM2
Radio and have installed 2.4 ghz receivers in 3 of the Helis. It really
makes flying much nicer. I have a ESKY Head Hold Gyro in the HB FP #1 and
looking at trying 1 in the Lama V4. By the way, The DX7 is much better to
fly with than a stock radio, I highly recommend it. I'm already thinking
about a CP Heli, Probably a E Sky King 2 Carbon addition or possibly an E
Flight Blade 400. I want a belt drive tail for sure. The bigger, heavier
Heli's are scary with there higher weight and head speeds, even the HB FP
can hurt you. (Been-there-Done-That)
