| Re: please vote on what heli to buy First off you need to decide where you want to fly and what you want to learn.Those heli's are both fixed pitch one of the harder types to learn and better suited for indoor flight but if you have never flew a heli before I would not try flying in the house unless you have unbreakable and inexpensive things in the house other wise you might be in trouble.Larger more heavy heli's are easier to learn with but can get expensive to repair after crashes and you will crash.The best way to start is get a simulator program like Great Planes G3 and learn with it,no repair bills when you crash and nothing broken in the house,after that get a good heli not some cheap stuff like the one's you have listed and a good radio and go from there that way you will have maxamized your learning power and your cash flow and not wasted either as you would if you start with what you have listed here.Also two motor heli's are famous for going through tail motors very fast because they cannot withstand the high rpm needed to run the tail rotors for long periods of flight.You can count on changing burn't out motors after every two hours of flight time a real cash drainer and spirit breaker. ![]() |

| I have heard that the Esky Honeybee has better electronics than the Chinese Dragonfly and is easier to hover. The GWS Dragonfly is better quality than the Walkera(Chinese) Dragonfly. A lot of people mistake the Walkera for the GWS as they are almost identical-the difference is in the electronics. I have a Walkera because I can buy 2 for the price of a GWS.I like my Dragonfly because it is the least expensive way for me to get into helicopters until I can move up to a more advanced machine. The Dragonfly is also less expensive to repair after the inevitable crash! |
