Honey Bee CP3

Not sure if anyone posted this already...but the CP3 is out

http://www.esky-heli.com/

It looks cool and nice colors. Esky states that it has a new "super 370 motor" and the rear looks bigger also.... If they are bigger and better then they might make a good up grade for the new V2 or even the old V1

Well, I will find out soon enough.....I ordered it on Friday!
I will try and make some videos for everyone.

Yeah, it looks very nice in the photos! But I think it will not fly as nice as it looks

Yeah, I doubt I will get much 3D out of it. But the FPV2 is such a good heli, a faster version of it can't be bad.

Alright keep us posted, also looks like the frames are the same, so maybe the tail suports and fin will work on the V2 also.... Man I can't wait till we get good parts suport for both. It will be fun to swap parts over to the V2 and have a little super bee that looks almost stock and won't break the bank either

ohhh tell me that sweet black canopy may fit with the HB FP V2!!!

Man, the look is so cool!

I am sure it will fit

Well, it has hit US soil. I should have it in my hands in a few days.

Save your pennies!! I have been flying the CP3 for a few days now (crashed twice with minimal damage) and it is very hard to control. The 4-n-1 just can't get the mixing right. When you try and rotate to the right, it starts off slow and then catches up, which put you into a spin. I wonder if there is a way to modify the tail to a belt driven tail rotor....

This or this should do the work! But these conversations isn't cheap
P.S. From the first moment I doubted that cp3 will fly very good

Yea..I should have known better. But I such such fun with the HBFPv2. I emailed esky-heli to see if they would do anything about it. If not, I will convert to the belt drive. I guess all i really need is an ESC and a gyro. I have an extra servo for the tail. Maybe a more powerful motor too.

So, I am thinking about making some upgrades...

Gyro - http://www.hobbypartz.com/60p-dy-1017.html
Motor - http://www.hobbypartz.com/alpha-370--1200kv--brushless-motor.html
ESC - http://www.hobbypartz.com/topro25aelbr.html
Frame - http://www.heli-fever.com/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=1992

What do you think...worth it?

looks like u can convert a hbfp v2 into the hbcp v2

Everything looks OK, except that motor has low KV. RPM will be too slow for heli. Better buy this motor

I don't suppose I can get away with just adding a Gyro? I may just keep the frame, use the tail motor and just add a Gyro. If I need to add other parts....I guess I could do that too.

Yeah, you could just add gyro, but still tail will not be very stable. Of course differences will be big
