I wanna get into a rc club competition But the heli I currently use cannot fly 3d, its a walkera #4.

Answer 1

Personally, I say they are all reliable and able to do 3D. However, you were to ask, which between the 3, I would personally pick the Honey Bee King 2. That is a better one, especially since it comes with an aluminium case and you could get a 2.4Ghz radio with it. Also, I have tested these helicopters at an airfield once. The ESky Belt CP had poor handling and something fell off the heli during flight and made it wobble... I forget what it was, but I think it was one of the swashplate links? (This was possibly from pilot repairing error than product error) The Walkera Dragonfly 60 is cool. I have never tested it, but have read people have good experience with it. My flying buddy has one and he never had any trouble with it as far as I know. As for the Honey Bee King 2, I flew and landed safetly during the test flight. Great helicopter.

Now personally, I have went with the E-Flite product line. I started with the E-Flite Blade CX and stuck with the E-Flite models since. I got the Blade CP Pro and it flies wonderful! great 3d helicopter for only $150 now. (From what I read on the e-fliterc.com site) When I bought it, it was $220... darn... but yea... If you want something even more cool, get the Blade 400 ($469.99) or wait for the Blade CP Pro 2 ($219.99) to come out. I am reading very good reviews about both these helicopters. I hovered the Blade 400 once outdoors and it is amazing. The Blade CP Pro 2 will be similar to the Blade 400, except it is smaller, no belt, no rear motor pitch, and no super skids. Does have a nice 2.4 Ghz controller though! and along with that, a nice heading lock gyro! amazing! Anyways, those are my recommendations to you. Happy flights!

Answer 2

You mean remote control, you had me going, Ive flown a Bell & an Enstrom & held an Iraquois (Hu1E) Huey on station I prefer the Enstrom you get a really good feedback & you can flick it about a bit it makes you feel safe I'm too old to get a helo licence now.but put down your models & take up a big one,keep on flying!
