How I set Up the HBK II

------------------------------------------------------

I have a King 2 that I bought from Nuttcaze that I just cannot get used to. It is intimidating with the high head speed and is so responsive that I can barely use my finger tips to move the sticks. It just seems to be all over the place. I guess it's just me, but it just sits around not being used.

Anybody ever try 305/315 rotors on a King2?

anybody tried to change the boom of the king2 to 12mm? using the stock frame?
pictures on how to?

don't worry about it, it is being discontinued with the release of the King 3

shame really as parts are not interchangeable but they have addressed the major flaws of the King2.

I don't think its possible to run the bigger blades or bigger boom, not with out major mods. It would be easier to buy an EXI 450 kit when they're on sale and tranfer all the parts from the HBK II onto the EXI.



I can't remember, did they fix the tail pitch slider on the new one?

Fixing the tail up on the K2 is really easy. My tail now has sooooo much power it ain't funny. It really works GREAT now.. very easy too.
As far as the blades go. I'm building up a HBK2 that is, hopefully goin be a KILLER..
Don't ask I'm doin it, guess cause I can.(got lots of $$$$$ invested it)
So I ordered a set of Mav. 305/315 just to finnish it out.
I'm really very anxious to see when it done.. I'm gonna post the build pix when done. I really love the HBK2, It is a tough peice to fly though. I think its true what I've heard bout being able to fly a fence post once you can fly the king..

Wow, I need a second job, luckily its getting warmer and that means I get my part-time job back doing landscaping for my boss at his hotels, then I'll really be able to buy a few more toys

I just ordered a King 2, I realize it's being discontinued but I wanted an upgrade from my blazing star. Am I shooting myself in the foot by not ordering a King 3?? Very new, I've only been flying helis for a month now....... any advice appreciated. Thanks!

the HBK II is a good heli and you can still get all the parts for it so no worries there. If anything I would have recommended a 450 size heli but the HBK II is cool and cheaper to repair then the 450's.

simple 12mm tailboom mod, i just drilled the stock holder with 12mm drillbit, installed belt cp tailboom and box

hello,
on nuttcaze's site i saw that i need to change te connectors from te stock battery into deans connectors...
i am a beginner(have a lama v4) and i am going to get a king 2 and belt cp v2
but why i need to convert those connectors? and how do i need to do it?

i already thq you

Hi reaz
You don't need to change these connectors if you will use stock setup. You will need to change them if you install brushless motor

yeh i know thats why i asked how cuz i am going to change to brushless xD
and a hobbywing 40a ESC

Then you will need to change the connectors because stock connectors will not hold many Amps. But also you will need to change the battery, because the stock battery is very weak.

hmm what battery do you recommend? if i use a brushless motor (3100 or 3900) with a 40a ESC? and how do i need to change the connectors?

You can use this battery: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12822
You will need just to re-solder the connectors

can i also use this thing if i buy a better battery? http://www.rc711.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=30&products_id=648

hmm ok tnq very much
i need a lot of information about these 2 helis xD
eheh 1 more thing... is the feathering shaft for the belt cp/v2 the same as for the HBK II?

nope, the V2 uses a completely different shaft

oh ok, atleast they have the hardened feathering shaft for it.
little offtopic... but is the v1 and v2 feathering the same?
in my Country they only have those under the catagory ''Belt CP'' and not under ''Belt CP V2''

Belt cp v1 uses the same shaft as king2. Belt cp v2 uses the same shaft as king3. So the belt cp v1 and v2 uses different shafts

ah ok ty, you guys here are very helpfull
now my problem is solved.
they have belt cp Fshaft en that i can use on me king II
and they have king III Fshaft and that i can use on my belt cp v2

Hey dudes, Got the King back in the air!!! I forgot how much fun this thing can be, Now that I can fly it's a lot more fun.. Anyway thought I'd put up a pix..

WOW!!! That is wicked king FD
