Honey Bee King2
I am a new heli flyer. I have flown fixed wing R/C for 25 years an am comfortable with aerobatic planes.
I learned on my “FMS” and “HeliSimRC” software (both free) with a $20 USB transmitter box from Esky (EK2-0905A-2).
I also learned a lot from my Esky Coco Lama v3 (EK1H-E012A-35) (coaxial double rotor heli).
I bought a Honey Bee King2, thinking that it would be a SNAP. Wow was I mistaken. It is much harder to fly. I burned out two standard brushed motors and finally installed a brush less motor (Esky and Esky 25A controller – EK5-0080). I also tried 3 gyros before I realized that my tail rotor control was too stiff. I had to drill larger the holes for the ball links to allow the tail to have full movement of blades.

I retrospect I would have been better off to buy the ESky Belt CP RTF Kit $199. I think that the tail rotor problem and fix would be the same. Blade balancing is also very critical and the balancer from Heli-Max (HMXR4855) works great.
I like my Lipo Alarm (FS1196) from Flyingsport.com too, as it prevents my lipo batteries from being discharged to deep.
Of course, you could get a Align T-REX 450SA ARF Electric Mini Heli, which will avoid some of my difficulties but then you will also need to purchase a heli radio at extra cost.
If you plan to fly helis you have a real project ahead.
Luck,
