yaa ... alot of ppl say HB FP is the cheapest way to start single rotors coz crash oso not ez to spoil and parts are not expensive

well ... according to orang puteh rc sites .. the small little heli i have could possibly be the hardest one for beginners ... i should be crying liau .. hahahaha
what to do ... i wanted something i could do indoors

who knows ?? maybe i MIGHT buy a a honeybee ... dunno FP2 or K2 laa .. hahahahaa
crash at least not too hard to get parts locally ... but K2 parts i know not that cheap

if u wanna get the FP2 then i might get it oso la .. at least got ppl to fly and learn with
but beware when going into higher end shops to ask about ESKY things ... u will get that funny look one ... hahahahaa

dont want any of those COAXIAL stuff liau la ... if i buy COAXIAL oso prolly for my kid to play with ... hehehe

me bored sheetless liau ... need something to take my mind off the POKAI situation i am in ... hehehehe
see how long i can resist the CHEAP FP2 temptation ... hahaha

waa .. nice leh ... hehehe
where u go fly ??
1st or 2nd or 3rd heli ??

hahahaha ... good la ... study 1st ... enjoy later
at least u got something to look forward to after u kowtim your exams :pbe warned ... helis are not ez to fly ... do not get frustrated if u dont get at 1st
alot of ppl take 2 months just to learn HOVERING .. hehehe

get yourself a good simulator ... the one that comes with the V2 sucks .. hehehe
try realflight or reflex or aerofly etc etc ... much better than that FOC sim that comes with the ESKY
practicing on the simulator not considered playing with heli ma rite ??? hahhahahaa

cannoy expect much lorr .... free one ma .. hehehehe
and totally unrealistic

try and get those ahem version of the good ones la .. hehehe

heli now taken apart and waiting for stuff laa ... not flying for long time liau
the parts i looking at damm kow expensive ... can buy the HBFP over at least 1.5 times liau ... hahahaha
so wait wait abit lorr .. POKAI liau maa

thats why i am tempted to get a HBFP to screw around 1st ... hehehe
but according to uniquexme the ESKY parts costs more or the same as a copterX ... i oso saving up for 450 heli ... maybe copterX or something else dunno yet laa ... hehehe
oso need to save up for a nice TX maa ... TX itself oso cost more than 1k liau

HBFP comes with stock ESKY 4 channel TX one maa .. hehehe
this one can simply hentam crash oso not so heartache ma

copterX kit is rm600 ... add electronics to heli ... another 300 or more depending on whcih ones u choose .. add tx/rx another rm1k+
batts and charger another 500 at least ...
u count laa .. hahahahaaaaa

FP is a 4 channel ... FIXED PITCH
CP belt is 6 channel ... COLLECTIVE PITCH

tamau la ... save longer and get something better
read alot of forums .. ppl who went from ESKY to ALIGN or COPTERX were amazed at the improvements
i know ESKY is cheap .. accordingly rm850 shop walk in price for the belt CP V2 .. but ..............

save rm2k go get the copterX with good TX will be my choice laaa ... hehehe
in the mean time ... have to learn my super micro heli 1st coz if i can fly that then i can almost fly anything liau ... hahahahahaaa

yaa .. u are very correct ... alot of ppl who are now flying ALIGN etc etc prolly started from ESKY
me included !! hahahahaa

now trying to fly this little thing which is still not too expensive yet ...
need to learn this small thing .. need need need .... $$$ for parts oso

that place in times square still got ma the when i went there couple of weeks ago ... rm350 only .. hehehe

ya ... grafitti was the shop i saw on the 6th floor at times square
honeybee FP was quoted rm350 by the ppl there ..
