Honeybee King 2. Repair, tips, comments, & flight.04:33

One of my subscribers wanted me to fix his Honeybee King 2 Helicopter, so he sent it to me. This video shows what I found wrong. The only thing wrong was just that it was not set up properly.
First of all, let me stress that a lot of these so-called upgrades that sales people talk you into are useless. You will see why in this video.
2nd, the Honeybee King 2 is not a good heli to learn on.

Again, I say Learn on a VW, and if you never crash it, then you can buy the Porsche.

Most people also think they are more coordinated than they are with helis and find out the hard way in labor and parts that it would have been better to learn on something easy to start with, not a full blown 3-Dimensional Stunt flying helicopter.

Most people expect a delicate, lightweight machine to be able to withstand all kinds of abuse.
Remember, real helicopters cannot take any crashes either, so I dont know why you expect an 18-ounce machine to be indestructible! It is best to get lessons from an experienced pilot. You would not go jump into a real helicopter and expect you could fly it right away, so dont expect that with a model. It takes years for the majority to simply hover reliably, and gyros do not do exactly what you think or read that they can do.
They are simply a crutch.

I hope some of these tips help you decide and give you some insight and hopefully you can learn better.
Thanks for watching, please subscribe for more and happy flying.
