Biggest you can afford I'd say a 500 size would be perfect for starting. Very stable. Thats the route I took.

[james and]

was thinking of a 500 new or used ?

[james and]

not alot of used 500 about

[Rich23]

There has been a few on ebay and a nice one on the bmfa classifieds recently. They seem to be going for £325 upwards depending on what comes with it.

This one seems good

[james and]

looks ok but already have dx7 so used is better for me would you say ??????

[Rich23]

If you bought that one you could sell the futaba radio gear and then buy a spektrum receiver and sat to work with your transmitter. It comes with a lot of spares, batteries and a charger to get you in the air.

[ShaggyRS6]

Maybe get that and sell the Radio futaba. Although there is always something better that will come along Just keep an eye out.

[james and]

will do thanks

Sorry but that just not true. Sure, it's no stick banging 3d machine but it's perfectly fine to learn with. I learnt to hover in all orientations with a v1 Honeybee and then used it at the field a lot too.

What you want for learning is something cheap so that it doesn't break the bank and worse still, put you off the hobby altogether. I am not saying it's perfect but they are fine to learn with. A 500 is fine but the downsides are the costs of crashes and setup, although you will need to learn the latter at somepoint.

I used to bounce my honeybee all over the place, most times, straighten out the blades and off you go again.

Thank you all for your tips

Look at the honey bee king 2 or the newer king 3 mate!! mine is great and is teaching me lots about set up!! and flying of a 6ch heli!!
500 will be expensive to repair i was just looking and the canopy is £50

[james and]

Will take it on board and have a good think about it all
