  • HoneyBee King2 success al last !

    Finally ! got my HB King2 to fly right at last ! its been a long road but i've finally cracked it !

    Took it to the field to fly today, it flies perfectly ! just my dodgy flying thats crap ! Got some good high speed dives, distance & height on it too, just flying out into left and right turns, very lazy ( really lazy !! lol) eights ,flying leftside on, rightside and even tried a bit of dodgy nose-in !
    loved it , absolutely loved it ! its amazing how much your confidence gets boosted when your heli is flying well !

    The last time i flew it, it cut-out 30secs into the fight, dropped out of the sky and wrecked itself. re-built it last weekend, this time soldering a wire onto the boom and running it to the motor mount screw, this seems to have cured it ! This little heli has been a right money pit since i had it, granted i've learnt a hell of alot from it, rebuilding and upgrading, what started out as a barebones cheap side project, nothing original remains of it now ! sports moto head, extreme carbon frame, skids, king3 blue canopy & fins, 3rd boom, purple tail upgrade with king3 tail pitch slider,Hitec hs55 servo's, Esky brushless motor, standard wood blades, spektrum 2.4ghz
    Been running it on Esky 1550mh batteries, get about 4'30sec, not great, however tried align 1900mh today, wow! what a difference, 6'30secs !

    So i'm well pleased today ! it flies better than my blade 400 , which at the moment has tracking issue's ! put 4 batteries through it yesterday. My Raptor 30 won't start , think i need a new glow plug. So slightly frustrated, i was pleased with today.

    Just thought i'd share it with you all ! LOL.

    Stu.

        Good news about getting the king going, I have had to do the same mod, running a wire from the motor to the boom.

        I love the little king once it is all upgraded, but it does pick up speed very quickly

          I was shocked at how fast it can go, really quick and agile, i got the sports moto head on it, don't know if that improves it so much ? but it was fun chucking it around ( for a novice anyway ! lol)

            Congrats! I started with HBK2, also had to do plenty of adjustments and admittedly gave up. Brought a Mini Titan and discovered the joy of flying! This gave me the determination to persist with my HBK2, and low and behold, this weekend it was in the air! I have seen other mentions of wire to tail boom? Can anyone advise on this mod?

            Thanks!

              I stripped back a piece of thin guage wire, loosened the motor mount screw & wrapped the bare end of the wire around it, tightened the screw to hold it, traced the wire & tie wrapping it to the body on the way so it wasn't loose flapping around, then scrapped the boom to bare metal & soldered the other bare end onto the boom. that seems to do the job.

              hope this helps & happy flying !

                  it stops sudden & unpredictable cut-out or failure of electrics caused by static built up from the tail/ belt drive, i,e it suddenly drops out of the sky with a thud into the ground = bust heli !

                  a worthwhile insurance device !
