RC Helicopter for sale

[DRFT_240sx]

devious17: well i would agree the lama and the blade cx( if you got it there) is a nice stable heli to fly indoor , no outdoor as a gust of wind will send it to oblivion. those multi rotors heli are good to hover around like a toy cant do much FFF or things like that.

well, I'm not in KL so i really don't know whats available in the market and how much is the price for it.

But i think you should get together with cooldube , the esky honey bee cp2 is a very good helicopter to start with. I started mine on a E-flite Blade CP , collective pitch birds , a lot more potential to grow with though you might get frustrated at first with the squirelly effect due to the fact that its not a head holding gyro that comes with it and it has a separate tail motor. if you have a little higher budget I will opt for something a little bigger like a mini size helicopter , *MUST HAVE* shaft or belt-driven tail to have more tail authority over the full bird.

I know in shen-zhen which you can order from Malaysia directly online as i asked the CEO , there is a heli called a Art-tech Falcon 3d. Lot's of good review on how tough the heli is , no electronic glitches from the stock parts that came with it , super stable with the head holding gyro and lotsa power from the brushless motor that is included. here is the website if you want to get in touch with them

http://www.art-tech.cn/english/index.asp

this stock heli is capable of 3d maneuvers too if you are an experienced pilot with a video here.

It's gaining lots of popularity here in US and once it's on the shelf within 1 week it's out of stock again. here is some review on it as well

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4436222/tm.htm

i think you could get it for a way cheaper pricce than the price brought into the US market which is RTF for $299 directly form art-tech. thats a really RTF kit with nothing to change.

cause before this i was considering other heli like walkera DF36 which is cheaper and looks good but the stock electronics are junk which glitches a lot and needs to be replaced hence the price will add up more than what you thought initially.

if you just want something fun to throw around , esky lama. awesome indoor flight. or something cheap to crash then the walkera 4 is good , dont expect long air time and stability from this micro heli and with the stock batteries and motors its quite *ahem*.

well good luck , hope this will give you an idea of whats to come.

Getting into the heli waters is a super addiction. *ask me how i know about it* =)

 

[DRFT_240sx]

oh i had experience with blade cp , esky HB CP2 , blade cx .. mostly micro but then after that am into slightly bigger birds no nitro though , those are expensive to crash.

so my shortlist after reading a heck lots of reviews from user and seeing people fly it on the field. I came to think

1.) esky honey bee King * really stable in stock parts* shaft driven heli
2.)esky honey bee cool, a scaled up version of the king
3.)esky honey bee belt-cp , still new in the market
4.) walkera DF36 , 60 , and 62 *quality parts but badly put together* , lots of people complained they cant get into air because of the pitch on the blades not adjusted properly stock wise ( cheap labor in china) , bad vibration ( due to radio glitches) , but if you replace you own electronics then it's all good to go and can fly as good as the big boys

5.) art-tech falcon 3d , at the moment with 30 owners feedback . this is the most versatile , tough and glitch free stock RTF helicopter in the market *usa that is*.

so if under 1k , i belief you can go with the esky honey bee cp2 , slap on the training gears , balance the main blades out . check the radio and fly ahead.

if anyone need more hints , websites to help out how to start in heli . pls chime in and i will post them =).

cheers

Gracias Drft_240sx, That was a lot of info and thanks

I tried out my friends lama 4 bought at RM375. Cute lil bugger, first flight was realy exciting but of course with the help of my friend, managed to hover for a while then suddenly my friend shouted "dont go near the wall!" but before I could think why the heli got sucked into the wall and kapow!

I think I'll go get the Lama IV in order to keep frustration at bay.

 

[DRFT_240sx]

yea multi-rotor are amazing stable but lacks in maneuvarability. it's a good indoor heli nevertheless =).

hope you enjoy your new bird =)

V4 lama is not from esky. Would u want to buy without brand toy??? If i, i woundn't... better buy got a brand type, so that u can buy spare part to replace the damage one.. For esky V3 lama & esky honeybee cp2 got spare part selling every where.. Price for esky V3 lama around RM390 to RM599 & for esky honeybee cp2 ( wooden blade ) around RM550 to Rm1200. If you want, maybe i can get it cheaper price. But u need to PM to me. For beginner, you should buy V3 lama first... When u r pro in lama then u can upgrade to honeybee cp2... It's really fun playing it.. All this video, u can download from www.twf-sz.com

[devious17]

anyone want to sell me their heli? hehhhee

I got an offer for a RTF Lama V4 for RM370, I didnt know that the V4 isnt from esky.

cooldude, if you have a secondhand heli for sale let me know. Now I have to find a buyer for my mtx3/GS SUT to supplement my new found joy.

I just dont want to repeat my mistake of buying an HPI as my first GP kit with the heli. Need to do more homework.

 

[kapster]

cooldube-i was asking drft_240sx where he is from la.

can you get art-tech falcon heli also?esky and art-tech,which 1 better?

 

[DRFT_240sx]

the art-tech falcon 3d is great man. Seriously can be up to par as a t-rex in terms of stability .

and with flight log of 30 flights with stock tx and the kit , and 3 major crashes. just straighten back everything out , it's still a stable heli.

for the price of a art-tech rtf it's hard to beat though you could put up an esky honey bee for almost the same performance but that will cost you like $450usd and above for the honey bee where as the falcon is 150usd cheaper rtf.

i would vouch that a s agood beginner helicopter , since new comers tends to crash more and a tougher heli will protect their wallets =) and frustration.

learning heli is a steep learning curve and you've got to have patience. to fly , crash , fix and fly again.

i'm malaysian but in US studying right now , if you plan to carry this in your line of product it's a great way to introduce r/c helicopter to new comers at a great price since the first thing that comes to mind is a few grand for a nitro heli.

and this electric heli can sustain 15-20mph winds.

yea i own one falcon 3d , trex and a blade cp. i've seen people fly the esky , its stable but need quite a lot of money to set it up to be a great heli like the walkera.

the best among all in a rtf kit to be stable is a honey bee king , right out of the box without much adjustment can have a stable hover. of course pilot skills have to count too , so practise on your simulators man =-).

would like to hear and see all your heli's too.

yea the falcon 3d SE is sweet bling for that bird. i't just came out though =(

 

[kapster]

DRFT_240sx- did you buy spare batt for the falcom 3d?are u using the stock batt or aftermarket ones?

 

[DRFT_240sx]

i got a 2100 thunder power aftermarket lipos for it.

so do they sell the falcon heli in kl too?

 

[kapster]

I think i'll be carrying the falcon heli in penang.any 1 interested can contact me. stock coming in in 2 weeks time. price would be around rm 800,mayb slightly higher pending shipment n customs charges. I'm buying those spare li-po from art-tech. 11.1 2200 mAh for rm 120.great price but i wonder how it performs? will update when i get the stuff.

 

[DRFT_240sx]

rm800? wow thats cheap man great price for the se

 

[kapster]

update....wrong info given earlier.The model i'm getting is the Falcon 3D. The Falcon 3D SE are more expensive price would be around RM 1200 like that. so I'm getting the Falcon 3D first.

 

[kapster]

DRFT_240sx- you said earlier that the e-sky is stable but need alot of upgrades to make it as good as the walkera. you means out from the box walkera is better than e-sky?

i have some concern on the shaft driven tail of the falcon.Many ppl told me that belt driven would be better.whats your say on that?

I can get esky heli as well, the Belt CP and the HB king at just slightly above the falcon 3D price. this is because the belt CP doesn't come with electronic.have to purchase separately.

Lets say if the HB King,Belt CP and Falcon 3D is at the around the same price,which would you take?

 

[DRFT_240sx]

well in US not a lot of people tried out the belt cp so not much comment on that. the falcon 3d is as stable as the HB king but lot more larger in size. the HB king is a shaft driven tail as well.

super stable , yea there is a lot of debate on belt driven and shaft driven , the main thing about the horror in shaft driven is when the old shogun used to have really bad shaft driven tails thats why everyone say stay away from them. where as the HB cool and HB king both uses shaft driven tail and they are super stable.

if u're able to get the falcon 3d and have spare parts support for it , i think it will be a great beginner heli. no electronic glitches so whatever and there is so many people that tested it which praise it a lot.


and you got me wrong , esky is stable out of the box with the HB king , the walkera is a good heli but crappy electronics that came with it , always overheat and have radio interference which is bad bad bad. unless u replace all the electronics on the walkera's heli like gyro,esc,motor,rx,tx then it could be a better heli.

just my 2 cents =)

so which heli u bringing into malaysia? my friends dad are interested but dont know on spare parts availability.

do they fly a lot of nitro there? do they even have trex?

 

[kapster]

I'm have ordered both falcon 3d and esky's belt cp to try.scheduled to arrive mid october together with the neccesary spare parts, so your friend's dad dont have to worry . i sell spare parts too.

no doubt the falcon is much easier as it comes RTF.the esky only comes as ARF only,no radio. so i'm buying art-tech radio to fit inside esky's belt cp, hope that it can work.
its gonna be hell alot of work but its gonna be a good thing to learn. the belt cp is slightly bigger and heavier,blade diameter at 680mm and weight approx 670g.

most guys fly nitro in penang,i'm not sure about kl.not very sure about trex.might have ppl flying it too but just i havent came across 1 yet.

 

[DRFT_240sx]

no problem , keep us updated what you have in your inventory.

where are you based at? hope you'll test the belt cp and the falcon. =)

cheers

 

[kapster]

i'm from penang.will update once the stuff arrive.
