Principles of Esky Honey Bee FP V2 RC Helicopter



I like toys from Child, All kinds of Rc Helicopter toy is my favorite.Let me introduce you to my one of the toy___Esky Honey Bee V2 RC helicopter.
The Esky Honey Bee V2 RC helicopter features good performance for superior strength,stability,controllable flight and durability,which are favored by the fun flyers all over the world. Honey Bee helicopter is designed with beginner in mind,has been completely assembled in factory,you can enjoy the pleasure of flying after fixing the battery. CCPM(collective cyclic pitch mixing)system can ensure the helicopter do various skyways flight perfectly.
The Esky Honey bee is billed as an RTF helicopter (Ready To Fly, for those not in the know) which means that in theory all it should require is a quick charge and off you go.Naturally being a bloke there was no need to read the instructions so I just plugged the battery into the beast and off I went.It very quickly became apparent that this is definitely NOT an indoor toy, in fact it is not even a toy at all come to mention it.
Obviously what's the first thing you do when you get a toy helicopter? You got it, stick on maximum revs and see what happens! That's where this thing went from 0 to lethal in less than a second. It looked so innocent sat on the floor till I whacked the throttle up then I seriously began to fear for my safety. The downdraft from this thing was amazing considering the size, what looked quite small in the beginning now seemed relatively large once the blades were spun up, and what a noise! To put it into context; have you ever seen hypnodisc on robot wars? Now imagine that but flying uncontrollably around your living room at head height, brown pants moment I think you'll agree! I ducked for cover as the beast ploughed straight into the wall, slid down, and proceeded to have what looked like an epileptic fit on the floor. My first venture and already a broken part (albeit minor and not detrimental to operation). "Ah" I thought, "probably better off outside".
This time I was dead careful, I slowly increased the throttle until it was very light on the ground then applied a short burst just to get it in the air and out of the ground effect (this is another thing I learned, after experimenting trying to get the honeybee to hover in my kitchen it would constantly drift to the left no matter what controls were applied. After a bit of research I discovered that it's something to do with the way the air flows when the rotor is so close to the ground that makes it act in this way. Hence the term 'ground effect'. The only way you can get the helicopter into a stable hover is to quickly apply the throttle in a short burst so that it rises out of the ground effect to about knee level where it will become more stable.)
The principle behind an electric helicopter is a good one and I admire what Esky have tried to do by creating a cheap offering but to me the build quality was a bit lacking, only very slight knocks would cause something to break which means the novelty wears off extremely quickly.
I saw Esky Honey Bee FP V2 in the rctopshop.com shop and Bought immediately,Interested friends can look at,I'm sure you'll like it.
