Honeybee King 2 brushless upgrade,hint
Well, since my stock motor took the obligitory "dump" after about 1 hour of flight time, I upgraded to this brushless(see link)
http://www.esky-heli.com/brushless-m...1-pr-2664.html
This motor is GREAT, and I have no complaints....much smoother performance than the stock.
My hint or tip if you will is to do the following,
TAKE THE E-SKY STICKER OFF OF THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT
On my second flight(after about 1 minute) I started to hear a high pitch whine, followed by a load pop......
I thought I had blown a belt, but it was just the sticker coming loose off of the brushless motor,violently!
No damage done....just had me worried for a split second[]
Hope this helps!
Here is a video of my HBK2 (before the motor upgrade)

That's a great sound I did'nt know what I broke until I saw the sticker all streched out on the ground. It just gives you another chance to pre flight your bird.
P.S. That information is in the tuner thread I ignored the info and found out for my self.
