PostSubject: E-Sky dropping some models?   E-Sky dropping some models? I_icon_minitimeWed Mar 18, 2009 3:18 pm

I read a thread on RC Groups last night that stated that the Honey Bee CP2 was being discontinued, and that the HBFP would stay in production for a while and then be replaced with a new model with improvements such as a stronger frame, etc. I was tired last night and didn't write down the information as to where I saw it. I could't locate it this morning. The information supposedly came from an E-Sky rep. Has anyone heard anything about this?

first I've heard of it but it makes sense to me, I'm not a fan of the HBCP, kinda cheesy as far as CP's go, I'll send E_Sky an E-Mail asking too, but it takes them like a month to return e-mails. :mailboxempty:

Yup CP2, king 2 and belt cp are being discontinued, due ti the release of the king 3 and belt cp v2, ESky released the KOB (King of Bird, lol) and big lama as additions to the coaxial range.

We've been waiting for 3 months for spares for king3 and V2 but still no sign, Esky hmm not for long.

Almost all belt cp v2 and king v3 parts are the same as on older models. But the belt cp v2 feathering shaft is longer and the tail assembly is bit different. On belt cp v2 thats almost all mechanical changes from belt v1. I don't know about king 3 because I don't have it.

Heard the same. The E-SKY HBFP 35Mhz and 72Mhz will be discontinued but the 2.4Ghz will be fine. This is good as parts will since E-Sky just slaps on a 2.4Ghz Tx/Rx.

Walkera is also going to discontinue the Walkera #4

Exceed is also going to discontinue the Exceed Falcon 40.

The reason is that they want to introduce a new fresh product line and a reason to also increase prices on this hobby. I think they should just slap on a 2.4Ghz Rx/Tx. Why re-invent the wheel other than increasing the price by introducing new products that are less sturdy IMO.

wait, thats what KOB stands for laughing013

as far as ESky parts, this happens every year, most companies in china (including ESky) close for a week because of the chinese new year, this screws up everything as far as spare parts goes here in the US. The parts will start showing up soon but this is just how it is with stuff coming from china.

But what exactly are you looking for, maybe I can help you find it in stock?
