Here is one I'll bet no one has asked.

I have been flying(?) coaxials and am looking to get a fixed pitch 4 channel. Any suggestions???
Also thanks for the videos - VERY HELPFUL- keep them coming.
I am from western Canada (Okanagan Valley) new to helis. Used to target shoot but injured shoulder at work sent me looking for a new hobby... retired now so I don't have any time for hobbies REALLY! I have this list on the side of the fridge that keeps getting longer - no matter how many I get done - Can't figure it out but I think it may have something to do with my wife
Take Care - thanks again - let me know what you think for the FP

An Esky Honey Bee Fixed pitch is my recommendation. Inexpensive, a great trainer, inexpensive and readily available parts, tons of how to info available and tough as nails. Get one that comes with a lipo battery and use a training gear for first few flights.

Look under the 4 Ch fixed pitch section of this forum at the Honey Bee Fixed Pitch sticky and you find all the info you need.

I too vote/suggest/recommend the E_Sky HoneyBee Fixed Pitch.

Best trainer available

I tend to agree that the HoneyBee is the one I should get but am I missing something or???
Several Sites - Latest Nitro Planes show Yellow version at $89. and White version at $79.

Am I missing something or is the only difference the canopy colour?
I can always paint it....

KA Planes has them with lipo batt for $99.95.

Both yellow and white at Nitro show LiPo batteries...still don't know why the price difference.
Dave

Don't know, but it's a good price either way for an HBFP with a lipo.

xHeli.com has the 2.4Ghz version with a LIPO and LIPO Charger for $109.00 - http://www.xheli.com/2eshobee4rch.html

That's a better deal. Get them while they still have them.

They have been sold out for a few days... but thanks for heads up.

I think not, but I am not 100% sure. About 80%

Apparently, you can have a 2.4GHz Tx from Futaba, Spektrum, and JR. They all work using 2.4 Ghz technolog, but are interoporable in general. It is safer to get the same RX's for the one TX you have. For example, if you have a spektrum dx6i, your should get the same AR6xxx Rx's. It's a shame that these companies don't communicate with each other, but then I guess they can't charge the ridiculously HIGH prices. Competition is coming. Walkera is already offering low end 2.4Ghz DSM technology, so these top three bad boys might be feeling the pain especially in this worldwide recession.

A little side note of useless info. Have a NOMADIO four channal ground radio it I belive passes info at 120 bits a second spektrum does 60 bites a second. I can go in to the TX and put it in short buss mode slow it down to spektrum spead and then it will bind with a spektrum RX. told you usless info for most part. Just unemployed trying to share my limmited knowlage
