| It took me awhile to realize this is probly e sky favored sight but I have to tell you that there is some just plain good other stuff out there. I still have the walkera lama 2, it has been flying every day since I got it Ive crashed so hard and so many times I can,t count and it still flys good, great control, great for learning nose in flying and does very well outside, I to like to mess around with heli,s and work on them but it,s nice to be able to fly and learn new things without having to rebuild sub standard stuff, I by other heli people standards don,t know much but what I do know is after awhile when you bang your head of the wall long enough stop it, it hurts, try something else, and buy the way I just got blades for my honeybee of another stock fp heli and they are very good set up is better flight is better more lift smoother flight. I don,t know iam just trying to help the people that have to go thought that sometimes very hard learning curve. Just my opinion! Pat | |

| You're right. When I got started back last October, I had 2 Walkera 5G4's and a Colco Hughes 500. All 3 were nice little helis, especially the 5G4's. I personaly wouldn't recommend starting out with coax heli's, because they just fly differant, and are kind of expensive. But that is just me, and lots of people start that way with great results.

| Hey, I dont favor Esky products. I think nuttcaze does. It doesnt matter to me what you fly. I only have one esky heli, the esmart. I am really here because of Nuttcaze. He is an inspiration to the hobby. | |

| You guys are right nutz is good for the sport he,s not afraid to try to help and work out the grey areas for us, there are alot of some would call experts that would never dream of putting it on the line, because at the end of the day you can,t teach what you realy don,t know I was just trying in a nice way that you can cross heli ranks for better parts and some interchange, like the blades from a certain heli that fit fight on the honeybee and are stock and not much money, like say 11.00 dollars with shipping and are realy good, and the little coax heli i figure within reason nose in is nose in, but again that,s my view.

| yeah I'm a big ESky fan but believe me ther are quite a few ESky products or parts I'd like to see disappear, first on my list - those damn 25A ESC fire hazards, next on my list - HBFP 4in1 and "Brushed" 370 motor, wtf are they thinking still offering this set-up on the new V2, lol. But there are alot of things that ESky could improve and prob will, but hopefully sooner rather then later. I think my biggest gripe with ESky is the lack of quality control. I know most of the stuff they make is ok but there are far too many parts and helis making it through quality control and thats screwing with their rep. But the real reason I like ESky helis is that they give the average person a cheap way of getting into this hobby. And with the E-Smart (especially since its a kit only, no questionable ESky electronics here ) it shows that ESky can offer helis from beginners to advanced all without costing a fortune. I do want the E-Smart to be refined into a true 3D heli, something that I can take to shows when I get better, the E-Smart is a heli you really grow into/with. I think it represents ESky the best. Who knows, one day I may be selling the E-Smart kit myself But don't let that stop you from giving your opinions or experiences with ESky or any other heli. My opinion is my opinion and I try to offer the best advice I can but its always a bit different for everyone so all it input we can get for others the better | |

| I agree the esmart is by far the best way to get into the bigger heli.s, but use new people to the hobby have alot to learn before we try to build a esmart, your vids make pretty fool prof, but still it take,s a while before someone like me is ready, even my self that has his own biz, ex airforce in advanced hydraulic,s and aveonics, plc training and all that other stuff has to study the vids and read about all the components before Iam ready to build one, but it will happen, I just wish that there was some way to just blanket the heli hobbies, with like your web sight, kinda like read this sight and you get a code and then your are allowed to order, ya I know Iam just full of it but just think how many house wives and girl friends could once again venture out of the bath room with out fear of serious injury, thanks for what you do it helps alot!
