ESky HoneyBee FP V2 Beginners Guide Part 1

[petey3005]

Hi guys, iam looking for your expertise as to why my honey bee V2 starts rotating at full throttle as soon as i connect the battery even though the controller is turned off, and the only way to shut it down is to disconnect the battery.its pretty dangerous as u could imagine. Any help would be much appreciated.

Very honest and helpful video, thanks. Lots of people think they're just going to buy a mini copter and fly it all over town on a windy day after 30 minutes of learning time. This is a big-time challenge hobby for the dedicated and that's one reason it's so cool. My opinion is most people should start with a cheap $30 copter and learn to master it in the living room (like the Syma S108G). Then if they still think the hobby is cool they can move up.

What's a reliable site to purchase this helicopter atm? Almost everyone's out of stock for a while now.

[nuttcaze]

@coontakintei - actually, I think you should get the Walkera V200D02 if you want an FP to learn on before going to a CP heli. But if you think you're gonna stick with an FP for any length of time get the V200D01 as it has a longer life span and is more powerful but costs considerably more, and thats why I recommend the D02. Besides, FP's are mainly trainer helis anyways.

[coontakintei]

@nuttcaze Thank you for the suggestion. Is there a particular CP you have experience with, that you can highly recommend? I believe you praise the Eksy 600 as an amazing kit, but is there something a little more simple?

[chowmonkey2002]

@nuttcaze I got the Walker V100D01 as first real FP. Is pretty difficult to fly after my 45 degrees flybar FP. Would it make sense to take the FP2 on the side for more stabile in the garden hover practice?? The Walkera is pretty agile. Maybe another one is a bit more "slow" ?

[tacos4u632]

what is TRN-> switch do????? ive been clicking it forever and the heli just jumps for a split second and goes back off, nothing really happens so im wondering wat its for

[zhred]

@tacos4u632 the trainer i think is if you want someone else to connect that persons radio with yours. So he can take over the controls using his radio if youre about to crash :)

@tacos4u632

You have probably already found this out by now, but just in case you haven't, the TRN switch is the Trainer switch. The Honeybee v2 comes with a flight simulator cd which you load onto your computer, and a cable to connect your controller to your pc. When the Training swich is on, you can fly your virtual Honeybee using the real controller, but the controller is not transmitting and running down the batteries. It just gives you a head start before flying the real model.

i have recently bought 1 of theses as my old honey bee deid ( as in the receiver caught fire mid flight and fell from a good 30ft up and spun it self to bits) just to any 1 wanting to start flying is take your time as is it takes time to master .. to repair my old heli it would of cost £195 just to rebuild it so it can be expensive but i would recomend the honey bee v2 as its great value for money .. and thi video has some great tips ...

[zhred]

Thank you so much! i wish i had a buddy like you man :D i have now bought the Honey Bee :)

[BootiDaddy]

[rgvkiwi]

Thanks for the video, very helpfull for my first heli. Cheers

[Qwerty1233210fwdfgg]

You do really nice videos.

Good job !

[RidinBlueAndWhite]

I was thinking about getting this for my first 4ch single rotor heli. I have heard little bad on it, but one thing I did hear is that the tail motor burns out after a while? Is this true? And if so how often does it happen and how hard is it to fix? Thanks!!

[toppgunn99]

hi im interested in gettin into the hobby and i wantd to know what would be better for a first helicopter a 3ch co axial or the Esky honeybee v2

[jgriggle]

I'd suggest a honeybee v2 if you're serious about getting in to rc helis. 3ch coaxes are lots of fun as toys but the controls are a little different to 4 & 6 ch helis. This means that you will have to 'unlearn' everything you learned on a 3ch if you want to progress to a 'proper' heli. I'm learning on a honey bee v2 and it's great, I'd recommend it to anyone. Buy training gear - dead cheap and pays for itself after your first crash. And you WILL crash! Enjoy and good luck!

[Agarmantes]

@toppgunn99 A 3ch co axial would be the easieest copter to fly. Gaz up and it flight "alone". It's good to get the basic with it if you don't have a simulator. I have started with a co axial. But you will reach the limit of the Copter pretty fast.

[heberorozco]

@toppgunn99 the Esky Honeybee of course because then you'll get bored of the 3ch helicopter and you 'll want a better one

[Rickolition]

I was wondering if i should start on a 4ch fp heli or a co-axial. i have a 3ch co-axial and its too easy. i want something challenging but also something i wont grow out of in a month or two.

[alexmain13]

I'm totaly geting it.

[YupHio]

nice, i'm getting one this christmas, i'm getting bored with my co-axial mcx.
