Well, after much debate and mind changing I finally decided to get me self a
Hornet II. Then came the wait as I realised it hadn't even been released!

At last today it arrived, probably the first one in the UK:o) So now to
build it and see what it flies like?

Bloody small these things though!

Philip,

Please report how the Hornet II is to fly. I'm flying a Mille and a
voyager and is planning to get a indoor heli.

What motor and batteries did you buy? HH gyro?

A good indoor heli or stay with the G2 for Winter, thats the question

It comes with a Speed 300 motor so I'm using that for the time being and a
standard 700ma NiMh pack. The gyro is a CSM HLG200 (head holding) and the
servos are the HS-50's.

I'm tempted by all the upgrades, brushless motor, Li-poly's, metal head and
tail gear box, but bugger you can spend a fortune on these little things. In
fact I could do a fair old upgrade on me R 60 for the same money!

So I guess I'll just fly it standard for a while and then see if I fancy
ploughing some more dosh into it:o)

Phil Martin.
