Hello there everyone. Newbie here. I trying to fly my 1st heli. Its called a Honey Bee 2. I bought it like few weeks ago but i can't go full time so i barely managed to keep the heli in 1 spot (not even a hover yet).

The HB started acting a lil bit wierd lately. It tends to spin counter-clockwise as if the gyro isn't working anymore. I bumped the tail here and there few times and i thought its because of the tail gear worn out so i changed it. but it doesn't help.

So is it the tail motor then? T__T 3 days no practice already. hope you guys can give me some tips. thanks ^__^

You can try post some pic of it... it helps to identify the problems...

honeybee FP2 or king2 ??
if it is the FP2 then your tail motor prolly kong liau
if it is the king2 .. it could be your belt slipping .. gyro dead .. gear mesh on tail shaft bye bye .. or u accidentally reversed the gyro direction

Its a FP 2. The other day i saw the tail motor base..like abit came out. I pushed it in, it still can spin. I confused on gyro setup as well. >__>

i think once u fly planes your helis MIGHT be white elephant la .. hehehe
very addictive oso leh those planes .. the most addictive part is u can fly is far away and fast .. if heli straight cannot see orientation already unless u flying 700 size .. hehehehe

shock flyer too much for u .. u might wanna try to start with something that is ez to land coz landing is the hardest part of flying a plane
i suggest high wing plane

You can try flying the coax blade heli... such as ESKY Lama... cheap to buy... easy to fly but can't fly outdoor... there's some forums out there...
Such as: RC Group, RC Group Malaysia, Malaysia-RC, etc... icon_idea.gif

hi..i just started this hobby too and damn it's addictive. i started out with a colco 4ch apache and now flying an esky dauphin/comanche too. i'd say these coax are pretty good for beginners or someone who just wants to fly stuff but don't want to get too serious. pro's and con's between these 2 models?

colco's apache:
+ more stable than esky LAMA due to its weight
+ body is more durable
+ looks way cooler - you'll be proud to fly these things cool2.gif
+ compatible with some of esky's parts
- parts are hard to come by therefore hard to upgrade too
- no simulator included
- hard to dismantle

esky's lamav4/dauphin/comanche:
+ interchangeable chasis/fuselage - you can swap the chasis/fuselage laugh.gif
+ parts are easy to get
+ easy to upgrade and dismantle
+ full package with simulator and stuff
- chasis/fuselage are made of soft plastic, easily dmg
- kinda light, so it can't withstand too much wind

good to know i'm not the only beginner here laugh.gif thumbup.gif good luck on your 1st hover.
