eSky Honey Bee 2
I've been looking into getting this, any tips anyone, opinions? Also, can someone give me a link to where I could get the dual motors for the tail?? or something that won't burn out continuously?
Also, is hobbyjapan2000.com a good retailer?

HeliHobby carries the dual motor upgrade: http://www.helihobby.com/html/skylark_upgrades.html
I ordered from Hobby Japan too and they sent me the Mode 1 transmitter which required some modification which was NOT that simple because you have to desolder the connectors from the pot on the throttle side and swap them with the other side. In addition you have to exchange the spot of the return to center spring set with the throttle hold plate. I told them I want mode 2 but....

Actually is it very simple. All you needed to do was swap the horizontal pots which come out by removing 2 screws.

Fiisrt the HB2 is CP not FP.
It flies pretty good. So far I've only had it inside, but by the second pack it was stable and hovers with not much input. I found it a lot easier to raise the throttle/pitch trim up and hover at half stick so you have a lot more pitch at full stick. When I first flew it with the throttle trim all the way down, I thought no way will this fly outside or any 3D. Now I can't wait to get it outside and try at least a loop.
I have not flown a non heading hold gyro in awhile and takes a little getting used to again.
Try it out...If it comes set up and solid as mine did, you will be happy. I got mine from RC-helicopter (China) with 1100 Li-Po and full scale Apache body and training gear for $180
Good luck
Kevin
