Learning to fly (and crash) eSky Honey Bee RC Helicopter #1

2 Friends with nothing better to do than try and fly a Honey Bee remote control helicopter. It was a bit late in the evening and getting dark but that's not the reason I was no good.

I practiced with a couple of 4ch indoor Helis and a 4-6ch simulator for a week b4 I took the bee cp3 and blade 400 to the park.

Very big park + almost no trees = good

I find the best way is to get it UP (25m) right away from the ground and just relax - you can recover these no matter what so long as collective is good and you have altitude + keep your cool.

That being said - you will still crash at some point. I do.

@cyanideisabitterpill Good advice. Good luck with your flying.

love the camera guy's laugh

[johnsoncp13]

@JetFlyyer His laugh was the main inspiration for me uploading this video. Yes, it makes you laugh yourself doesn't it?

sucks big time ...i dont like the HB V2 ...

i guess if you try the coaxial you will be more better in hovering

[johnsoncp13]

@akoundal Thanks for the comment. I remember this evening like it was yesterday. The good thing about these helicopters is they are good for learning the basics as crashing is quite cheap compared to some of the others.

oh my.  you should never land backwards the the tail support got caught in the grass

[akoundal]

@johnsoncp13 yup i have brought spare blades as i know that they will break for sure learning from my first coaxial, still i was able to get howering and control from the coax way faster then fixed pitch, looks like it will be a while b4 i get used to the trims on these , but for sure wont be buying any fixed pitch anytime soon, its going to be big lama coaxial again :D

it hard to control it especially bell cp...

u need to train on a good simulator before u try to handle six channel..
