Esky have captured a impressive following in the last few years with there line of RTF Electric Radio Control Helicopter Line.

I purchased a Esky Honey Bee King 2 bare bones kit. I went this method because i already had all the components available to complete the helicopter.

My only past experience with Electric Radio Control Helicopters was with the Eflite Blade CP. Although i learned to fly a radio control helicopter with the Blade CP. I did not have much luck with upgrades to make it a stable and reliable platform for my intention of having a scale micro helicopter.

The King with its belt driven tail, fitted with a brush less main motor and head holding gyro fits my purpose quite nicely at about the same cost as a Blade CP.

I was pleasantly surprised by how stable this heli is for its size. With a main rotor span of 25 inches, it is still small enough for most indoor venues. Or for learning to hover in your garage or basement. In my case i have 10′X10′ clear space in the basement that allows me to practice any time of day or night oblivious to outside weather.

The Esky Honeybee King 2 has been a great investment and learning experience for me in the Radio Control Modeling Hobby.

More on the King when hobby funds permit, the addition of the scale bits.
