I want to buy a 4 channel Heli not a Coaxial . There are so many choices ! Can anyone recommend from experience which brand and model to purchase ? Thank you

I would Recommend the Esky Honey Bee V2 http://www.xheli.com/4ches2grhobe.html

guess how much i crashed my honey bee fp v2. nope you guessed wrong. 6 times in a row and most of them are not that  soft but not hard. 6 times in a row and nothing broke. 6 times in a row and it still fly's like a dream come true. go straight ahead with this heli, no other will match it and durability and performance. don't go cp only fp.

Walkera CB180D, from Xheli. When they have them in stock! (Must be a popular item, eh?)

i've heard it's a heli stable as a coax but is very fragile. also the hbfp v2 might be better to learn at because it handles like a real heli.

Great question.  I have had the pleasure of flying both the 2.4 Ghz E-SKY HBFP V2 as well as the 2.4Ghz Walkera CB180D.

If you are a newbie beginner and don't want a 4-channel Co-axial, then get the 2.4Ghz Walkera CB180D.  Its new design gives the single rotor FP heli the flight characteristics of a co-axial.  There are NO Blade striking since this is a single rotor heli. 

Below is the heli flying modified with a direct drive carbon brushed motor.

read page 4 then read page 3 on the hbfp2 issues. if you want a fp heli that files beautifully out of the box, the 180Q is for you. it is not fragile and is quite tough. read the recent threads on it with the utube videos attached, or you can get the hbfp2 that flies like a real heli i have both..................up to you
