Besides the lipo, I was using non-Esky servos and I may have been using a slightly longer flybar (don’t remember anymore). The motors and mechanics were definitely stock though. I’m currently flying a heavily-modded King and a Trex 450SE that I use for aerial photography.
Takes about an hour to charge and flies about 10 minutes on a pack (which is about as long as I’d want to fly anyway). It’s stock except for the use of a 2s 910mAh LiPo battery instead of the stock NiMH pack.
I love my FP and still fly it regularly, even though I have a King and a HDX450 now also. I’ve also had a CP2 and a Blade CP Pro, and I do NOT own either of them anymore. They are a little more powerful, but they’re pretty squirrelly in the air and much harder to repair/tune.
I’ll fly my FP in any speed wind NOW, but it definitely gets tossed around a good bit and I wouldn’t recommend it until you’re fairly good at FFF.
LOL that’s hilarious. My wife doesn’t get a big hit out of being with me when I fly, but I don’t push the issue and she’s at least OK with the idea that it’s something that I enjoy. The key is that she has an equally expensive hobby (horses) that makes no sense to me, so we get along pretty well.
And if you find a diamond-crapping heli, please let me know.
Nice flying. I’m currently learning my Honeybee CP2…it is a hard ass…
You’re lucky to have a girlfriend/wife that hangs out w/ you when you fly. My wife wouldn’t help video my helicopter even if it was crapping diamonds out it’s tail rotor!
nooooooooo dont ven try u will blow up ur li-po!!!! u need a special li-po battery charger.
Just wondering if you can use the stock charger to charge the lipo battery?
nice flying.

wow, nice flying. was the hbfp 100% stock? (besides 2s lipo) what bird are u flying nowadays?
The FP is 4 channels.
is it a 4ch or a 6ch honey bee ?
I let my wife fly my Lama which was a mistake. Now she wants her own!
no, I soldered on new connectors. (I used Deans Ultra for compatibility with my other models, but they’re way bigger than they need to be.)
so,wen you bought the li-po was it the same plug on it to the 4in1 unit?
Yes (2s = 7.4V) BTW thanks for the kind words.
is the lipo 7,4v?

I’ll let you know about the diamonds….
How do you like that Honeybee FP…how is it in the wind 10mph or so?
