Hello all,
I am new to the forum. I currently have a Honey Bee FP V3 with a Neon series Guru-Z frame. I am considering either converting the HBFP to belt drive tail or building a custom fixed pitch from the ground up. I did notice also that Guru-Z no has the 3mm collective head. I have also considered creating a ground up custom micro collective pitch.
Bring on the suggestions.
I would also like to see examples from everyone's builds. And, if you don't mind, could you tell me the process required to convert to the belt drive if I convert the HBFP.
Thanks,
Joe

Joe, I have a HoneyBeeFP and built a Guru Neon frame, added 12mm belt tail kit, added Telebee gyro, added [GE38H]3900kV Brushless motor and ESC. I also use Xtreme fiber blades that are shortened by one inch on each end. It flies great. It was lots of fun gradually adding modifacations. I would not build a collective pitch on this setup. I am beginning to build an EXI-250 collcetive heli. It has much better head gear and is a stronger machine than anything from Guru. have Fun, Vince

Thanks Vince,
I did see the EXI 250 kit and am considering building a 250 and 450 identical to each other. Just something fun I guess.
Did you get a new receiver for your HoneyBee or did you remap the HBFP receiver? I noticed on mine that it actually has 6 channels on the receiver but I'm sure it isn't mapped to use it for what I want to do.
Sounds like you have a couple pretty cool helis there.
Do you have any pics or vids of them?
Thanks, Joe

I plan to use my Futaba 7 radio set that has heli programing. I think that you need a heli programable radio set. Vince
