This E-Sky Honeybee CP2 Heli was sent to me to fix, restore, and fly.

[@ohozo7292]

Breaks my heart they don’t make these anymore , would love to buy another one

[@NightFlyyer]

Yes. They were affordable fun. Thanks.

[@rpcltd9876]

I had a Hummingbird and a Honeybee helicopters. They were some of my first. Took a lot of skill to keep them in air. I spent more time repairing then flying. I think you could fly most anything, a true gift.

[@NightFlyyer]

Hi Ray, That is very kind of you to say. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[@halleffect1]

Mr. Herbert, so glad to see you enjoying the RC hobby again. I have no idea how it feels to lose everything, but I'm sure it's devastating. But this just goes to show the man is greater than the material things. We can always get more stuff, but the talent, skill and motivation comes from within.

[@NightFlyyer]

You made very kind remarks. Thanks very much. I appreciate that. A person just cant give up!

[@CertifyThis]

This was my very first rc helicopter I got years ago and it was you mister nightflyer who helped me, always answered my questions and was patient with me and thank you for that

[@NightFlyyer]

Wow, your a long time subscriber, and I thank YOU for that. Hope your still flying.

[@CertifyThis]

NightFlyyer I have come on hard times and had to sell my rc collection but hope to return to soon but I still watch ur uploads as they come in. Love em and keep em coming.

[@blackbart8451]

I believe you could fly a 2X4 with a motor, blades, receiver, and servos on it! Anyone who flies heli's would know just what a fantastic pilot you are in being able to fly that little heli around like that! Great job!

[@NightFlyyer]

Thanks very kindly Rodney. That is nice to hear.

[@joshcofreros]

I thought it was just only me having hard to control this heli... but I'm not a great flyer anyway. Good video gives me good memories working on this heli.

[@NightFlyyer]

Many many folks wrote to me telling me they had trouble with this heli and why I made so many videos to try to help them. Thanks for the comments and be well.

[@SueBobChicVid]

I LOL'd when you said you checked your own video on how to set it up. You are, and will remain, a great resource for a lot of people - including yourself!

[@CoolKD2005]

Nice to see your getting back in to things Herbert. And great to see that there are so many generous people helping you out to get your vintage and other models back. Just takes me back when you do older stuff. Makes me want to get a flybared heli again. Just love the mechanical head mixing compared to the simple construction of FBL rotor heads and electronic tuning. FBL flies more precise tho. Great video :)

[@BLThackrey]

I think everyone who watches your fantastic videos would consider you a godfather of R.c . here's to you and your cold ( yet hyper talented ) fingers ! I look forward to seeing your other subscribers donated nitro helicopters . All the best as always from Scotland sir , Barry

[@NightFlyyer]

Thank you Barry. I appreciate that.

[@ricardopr54]

Glad you are back flying! 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[@DutchRC]

Excellent job at getting it to fly at least half decent sir Herbert :) Allways good to get some mre history insight as well offcourse.. Thank you! Cheers & keep the, coming :)

[@NightFlyyer]

I appreciate your comments. Thanks very much and Happy flying.

[@combatbuff]

Thank you for all the hard work bringing these videos to us, keep them coming bud, I have learnt a lot from you over the years.

[@NightFlyyer]

Hi John, and thanks so very kindly for your comments. I appreciate that.

[@brownscountryliving748]

Are you still working on these helis?

[@NightFlyyer]

Working? No. I have one that is flyable but I fly more modern helis now. I did make a newer video a few years ago as the rx mixer in the honeybees are hard to find a working one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp3PfYlrodioaKs

[@cup_and_cone]

Great video, thank you. I want to say, I originally found your KZbin channel years ago searching for Honey Bee videos (probably 8 years ago by now)! I learned to fly helicopters by hovering a Century Hummingbird fixed pitch in a 8x10 room for a few months. Despite the frustrations, I definitely feel like a better pilot having learned the way I did: heavy nickel batteries, underpowered, AM radio, terrible peizi gyro, constantly adjusting linkages, etc. Totally different than today's electric assist everything where it flies for you.

[@NightFlyyer]

You got that all right. It's all part of the learning curve and for sure we have come a long way since then. Be well and happy flying.

[@scottfirman]

Having the ability to fly those early helicopters was a trick. My brother was also into the early nitro helicopters he called them whirling blades of death and recalls running away as an errant chopper decided to start blowing in your direction. I didn't get into them until recently so I missed all that. He has several early models yet. I told him he could have them.

[@NightFlyyer]

Haha. That is funny. Thanks kindly for the chuckle.

[@samiabbasi4278]

Hello, I LIKE YOUR VIDEO,PLEASE I HAVE A QUESTION : FOR THE HELICOPTER E-SKY 35MHZ WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM RANGE ...I WAIT TO ANSWER ME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@NightFlyyer]

Thank you kindly. Well, I have 3 old honeybees including this one, and they are all on 72 MHz, not 35, so I don't know. Range should be at least 1 mile even on lower Mhz. Thanks again.

[@chasingwaves11]

AWESOME Job Dave ! , Dave 2 years ago i picked up an old DRAGONFLY FLY flybar HELI from a friend , looks just like the one your flying . same jst plugs and all lol .. its pretty neat how it was made, there's not much to it lol ..

[@NightFlyyer]

Yes , simple is easy to make. Hope yours flew as well or better. Thanks for the comments.

[@4thGloryMonday]

as always thumbs up and great vid mr. herbert

[@NightFlyyer]

Thank you kindly sir.

[@seakingtube]

fly, crash, repair , fly again was my routine on this heli, but I had lots of fun with it 😃

[@NightFlyyer]

You weren't alone. Thanks for the comments.

[@seakingtube]

NightFlyyer What I like about this heli is, its easy and cheap to repair. Giving me more flight time and being kind to my wallet...lol. I have subscribed to your channel for more than a decade. Mr Herbert Sir! you had always made everything in your hands look so easy to fly. l am looking forward to seeing your next video 😀

[@papadewey221]

Dave, Great job getting it working. Vincent

[@NightFlyyer]

Thank you Vincent. I am happy I was able to make it fly for you to see. Thanks again for sending it.

[@MrAlansage]

This is great I was just given one of these 2 weeks ago and as of yesterday have it flight ready hopefully lol

[@NightFlyyer]

Hi Alan. Thanks for the comment and I wish you success and happy flying.

[@NAVYABHAN]

I was wondering if you build,and or repair R/C Helicopter's? Forgive me for asking if you don't,or are selective about what you repair,but I "NEED HELP!"I have a T-Rex 450L Dominator that I don't have the knowledge to build correctly. It has the Beast X MicroBeast Plus. I also have 2 Trex 450 Plus Helicopter's that need help if you are so inclined.

[@highplainsdrifter2120]

I have a old heli-max novus n125 CP. It is near impossible to fly. That was when small helicopters were hard. Anyways I have lots of others and this one just sits. I would like you to have it. Would like to see how you handle this little pain in the ass. Tell me how I can send the CP 125 to you.I would like to donate.

[@NightFlyyer]

Well, sir, I never had one and really am not fond of fighting little, twitchy, hard to see helis at my age. Big ones are better, but I appreciate your confidence in me. I don't have any experience with the Helimax and I hate having to chase down parts to make them fly, if they are broke. Folks have been sending mostly models that I had, but were lost in the fire. But if you want to take a chance and send it, my address is in the description box. Thanks for the kind offer.

[@ROKKOREX]

i have an old carbon fiber mikado logo 14 you can have also an american helicopters mantis from the 1980.s if you want them you can have um i cant afford to make them fly again. thanks.

[@NightFlyyer]

Wow. Thanks for the offer. If they are wrecked, I may not be able to afford or even find parts either. I would like the Mantis for sure, but parts are also scarce for that. Even If I called John Simone, I probably could not get parts as his building burned down when a full size airplane crashed into it, so his production of the Mantis stopped.
