Ok, I did not know. It's not problematic on the FP2. I can feel it cutting off and land fine if I don't push it. If do push it then it is still ok because the FP2 can take it. However, I do see it might be a bad idea to use it in the King.

The thunderbird 18's cutoff can't be changed. It's a hard stop. You want a soft stop which you can't do on the thunderbird. It's really designed for planes and not helis.

Jibrilhas, Most likely the heli just never took the pack down to cutoff point. I know that on my Blade CP I would never hit the cutoff on the ESC because the heli would stop hovering at 10.2 volts which is above the cutoff point for the esc. This is possibly what you were seeing and just always managed to get it down before the actual cutoff.

You can use the ThunderBird 18 with the King. If you like to fly to the end of your lipos though make sure you are good at autoing

The Thunderbird series has soft cut-off and you can dissable the brake. But you dont have all governor modes for heli.

Yup your right. I could have sworn it was a hard cutoff but it is a soft one. Probably not a big deal then for use on the heli. Just need to be aware that when power starts dropping it's time to bring it in.

Hi Lostsoul, at first I want to put a CC Thunderbird 9 to the tail...

No need for all gov.mode setup there... I asked Bernie at Castle Creation..
You`re right Thunderbird are mostly design for plane, but...

I don't know if the King really needs all that advanced governor mode setups either. I think you can easily get away with a simple controller like the TB18 on this heli. Just gotta watch the cutoff.

I will probably go with a CC Phoenix25... and maybe sell my Himax2015-3600 and Phoenix10... and maybe my Cp2.

what about this combo:
I don't know anything about the brushless motor,,,
But the esc is a 35A !!! YOU will never see that kind of amps on the King,,,, maybe 18A max....And I don't have any idea what kind of tooth pinion you would use... with that motor. And would the pinion match up with the main gear on the King ????

**Now doing Forward Flight And EASY 3d! And having a Ball !!**

I have a cc35 on my king, youre probably right Its overkill, but I was using a 10A on it and it fried, the cc35 was spare parts so I threw it on there. Its beter to have more than you need than less.

Drew, it is the air-frame + a motor, you need a radio, RX, ESC, battery and 4 servos.

Hobby-Lobby sells it RTF for $300

http://www.hobby-lobby.com/honeybeeking.htm

It may not come with everything installed but it does come with everything you need. The quality of the parts is sketchy though:

The electronics in the package:
Receiver is ok...
speed controller is ok...
gyro is not very good...
servos seem to not be to good...
lipo is ok...
transmitter is ok but you really need a computer radio with this heli...

It will definitally get you flying but you'll probably begin upgrading components pretty quickly.

Hi L0stS0ul, what battery you use with your King, mah and discharge rating... I think some of my Cp2 pack has not enough power with this small but heavy heli..my cp2=365g, my King=500g
