Hi to all seniors.... I am actually very new to helicopter..... But I am very keen in trying out... I knw among Honey Bee there are a few models.. and as for controller there are a few version like

35mHz Mode 1 (Throttle on right)
35mHz Mode 2 (Throttle on left)
40mHz Mode 1 (Throttle on right)
40mHz Mode 2 (Throttle on left)
72mHz Mode 1 (Throttle on right)
72mHz Mode 2 (Throttle on left)

How do I knw which is suitable and or shall I say which is suitable.... pls advice me ...

40mhz or 73mhz should be find. Infact 35, 40, 75 all dont make any diff.

But the only problem is, which one do u want ? Mode 1 or Mode 2 ?

Mode1, throttle stick on the left.
Mode2, throttle stick on the right.

Most of the people in singapore are all flying Mode 1. But i fly Mode2. You look for some flying buddies lor, if most of them are flying mode 1, then learn mode 1. So they can teach u how to fly all that easier.

why don't look for a 2nd hand trex? is much more better then HB...

[AceViperX]

Ya of course!!! Who in the right mind would fly with the collective in the opposite sense?!

It is that real helicopter fly similar to mode 2 ?

[ammo]

Mode of flying is all up to personal preference.

Only point to note is that should you require help from any flyer which involves flying your heli,eg setup, you are limited to flyers on the same mode as you are.

The good news is that there are more mode 2 flyers around nowadays so it's not so bad

[ethinger]

While back home (cambodia) am stunned by how many people are interested in helis...
anyway they all just starting out almost at the same time...
MODE 1 flyers here can't fly as of yet....
MODE 2 flyers have been hovering for some time....
my cousin switched from mode1 to mode2, he said it was so much easier...
for me, I planted my feet too deep into mode1 to switch to mode 2 would take some time not to mention more crashing

[Helicopter]

I crash less often now on mode 2.

Perhaps we can start another sticky thread (but dunno where) to state who on mode 2/1, and if flying plane or heli so that advice can be seeked from them?

[genexis]

search around your area for flying kakis. check out which mode they fly, and follow them. Easier for you to get help.
