Whats going on this is my other hobby....



You've seen my other blog where I speak about thing's like God,Trucking,cool cars n guitars a mix of everything, the twist is this, here I only have one thing on my mind and that's rc heli's the other blog is truckn4jc.blogspot.com I currently own a little chopper called an Esky Honey bee King2 it's electric powered Collective pitch the whole nine yards cabale of 3D flight.



The Pic on the side is what it looked like stock configuration, there is a number of things that can be added overtime or right away for that matter like the first forewarned prob I ran into was an burned up ESC or (Electronic motor Controller) this was a wakeup call on how potentially dangerous these machines can be, the reason is the stock motors i-e: 370 brushed are junk and so are the esc's, almost all pro's either break-in the motors right away, and change the esc's or do both at the same time, I did end up changing motor for a Brushless 3900 KV with 25amp esc plus I added a Head Holding Gyro unit to replace the stock rate gyro.


My final version has all the above plus a cool burgundy color and matt blk. for the canopy windshield, you can see some cool pictures of it and other owners ships at rcuniverse.com I have found it to be a great site for forums, and info from beginner to extreme pro.
