Andrew Oldham Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hi I am new to the forum I was gifted an esky honey bee cp3 a while ago but never had a chance to get it out the box until recently i was reading the instructions and checking it over and before I new it I was putting in batteries and playing around. I thought I had made sure the throttle was all the way down but after I turned the actual helicopter on it sprang into life while I had hold of the skies and before I new it I had let go and it went crashing into my TV unit it continued to rotate for a few seconds then just stopped. I will be honest and say i have no real knowledge of how rc helicopters work but even I can tell that it's not in good shape. Both front and rear rota are broken as well as the smaller blades on the front. And a small chrome strut that eppeared to be attached to the main rota has also snapped off. Also I have also been made aware that because of my misshap my main circuit might of been damaged. I do get there may be some that will want to shout with there fingers which in part is understandable but please know I am genuinely asking for constructive advice not criticism Many thanks andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello Andy, This is generally a pretty friendly forum but it's not particularly helicopter orientated although there are a few who take an interest. The usual advice would be to seek out a local club or enthusiast and get together with them to guide you through those initial stages - not something that's currently an option! Spares seem to be available (e.g. here) but I think that you may get more meaningful help from those with relevant experience if you post some pictures of the damage.

Colin Carpenter Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I may have flown one many years ago in my indoor club . I don't have fond memories ! RC Universe have some information , but if you wish to learn to fly a helicopter , then a club is the way to go. If you want to go alone then a Blade Nano RTF is he the way to go , and you an fly indoors at home. Lots of online support too.
