Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / February 2005Looking for Micro... which would YOU get?
Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter days, which one would you get? - Walkera/GWS Dragonfly - eSky Honeybee/Humble Bee etc. - Century Hummingbird - Anything else? Keep in mind, must be electric (glow indoors is no fun) and reasonably small :) Stable hover would be good I guess, to avoid hitting walls all too often. Thanks J depends how well you can fly ? I have a Esky honey bee 2 CCPM 3d and its a handful for me and I am quite a newbie I can hover in the kitchen in about 9ft by 12 ft and its quite good in a breeze but not gusty Kevin > Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter > days, which one would you get?

I'd crash into walls all the time. The tiny ones are more twitchy, no doubt about that :) J > Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter > days, which one would you get? Have you seen the Trex? Very much like a 30 size nitro ship at the sticks. I have one and I like it a lot. I also have a Protech Zoom which is also very good but is actually a bit TOO stable for me as the cyclics are very slow (though they can be quickened up). I have tried the Esky and quite frankly, it's crap. I would steer clear of ANY heli that has a tail rotor consisting of a motor with a bloody propellor stuck to it. Go for a model with a conventional variable pitch T/R such as the two I suggested. John > Presuming you'd want a small heli to fly indoors during these sucky winter > days, which one would you get?
