| I have had my HB King II for a few months now. I bought the 6 channel off of ebay and flew it for a while until the brushed motor went out. I then put a brushless on it, Berg receiver, and added a GY401 and the Futaba 9650 to it. I know that is a little heavy but I had them from another heli. The heli flies great right out of the box. After I changed over to the new controls, I had some adjustments, but I got it flying good quickly.
Actually I had a Century HB 3D Pro before this and just could not stand that helicopter. I could not get the vibration out (I think it was from the tail shaft drive) and I could not get the blades to track. I have a Century Raven 50 and it works great. But something went wrong with their 3D Pro. I wrecked it and could not get parts for 2 months! The fit of many of the parts were poor and the construction was weak!
The HB II is very sturdy. I was trying to loop it the other day and lost control of it. It hit a branch. I cracked the blades, killed the main gear, and the feathering spindle. Other than that, it was ok. The HB 3D pro probably would have been destroyed. Parts are cheaper than the HB 3D Pro too.
I have had an Ikarus Pro, a TRex 450, HB 3D Pro, and this HB King II. Out of those helicopters, I have to say the HB King II is the best.
