Cool Re: Which one to buy.......help?

The Honeybee has a better radio and is more stable but the 22d does have gear drive tail which will save on tail motors.The Walkeras are known to have poor quality servos so the Honeybee might be a better buy even if you have to get extra tail motor.

Re: Which one to buy.......help?

well you should try to go with CP that will allow you to grow into your heli. with FP you'll never get out of just basic hovering and perrouets (not quite sure on the spelling of that one) now if FP is REALLY what you want then go with the dragonfly #4 it's the BEST deal on a FP heli you can find. Now for that you'll want a brushless tail so with that upgrade it should cost you $110+ for the #4 and brushless tail, plus if you go with a brushless main as well you can get much longer flights. if you get a li-poly as well well you'll be flying for around 30mins. in all that's around $150 minimum.

How was hobby4less? I ordered a copter from them over the weekend, still haven't received any confirmation and they won't email me back.

They were fast for me, less than a week. Shipped that night. You will probably get it before the tracking number. All went fine except they cheated me the training gear mentioned in the description, and never answered my e-mails. So, all in all, I'd have to give them a 6 out of 10, because their customer service stinks.

Yeah, mine finally came today. No tracking number, no training gear. I'm pretty sure the battery charger isn't working either. I sent them alot of emails, they finally emailed me back once.

That's sorta funny that they cheated you out of the training gear also, we'll it's not really but....... How come you say the charger doesn't work? Hey, at least you received an e-mail back, I never even got that. What did they say?
