Here is a link.

Advice is free, right? Well, xheli has had many issues in the past with unhappy customers. They are labeled "F" with the BBB.
The eagle is a rebadged walkera 22E. It can be a fine flyer, but the head is easily damaged. Also, be advised it will only work with the stock tx( or a walkera programmable)
For the price, if you can afford to crash it some, I would say it is fine for a "backpack" heli. Just something to take with you when you go into town, and may want to get a quick flight in.
What are you flying right now?

I am flying a worn out Honey Bee. I am pretty sure it is the V1. It has been through a lot but I think that the skids are weak on it.
I seem to break skids even when I dont seem to put it down that hard.
Thanks for the advice and one thing is for sure I look forward to advice and an very thick skinned. You will not hurt my feelings.

Any ideas on my next heli. I really would like something that is pretty stable out side and something I dont have to drop a ton of cash into. I dont mind spending money to upgrade to make it better, I just dont want a money pit.

I would recommend a Honey Bee King II (about $150 RTF) or a Belt-CP (about $200 RTF). A must-do upgrade on the HBK2 is a brushless motor and ESC, as the brushed motor it comes with doesn't last longer than a few flights. The Belt-CP comes with abrushless motor & ESC.

Others may have other suggestions, and all suggestions are of course welcome :)

I agree with the honeybee k 2. I've had my hands on one for a little while and other than the brushless upgrade I did'nt like the tail blade grips(to loose on the blades) the trick I found is using the tail blade grips from the esky belt cp on the king2 using its stock tail blades. Worked excellent and got rid of the slop. Tail authority was much better!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I read somewhere awhile back that walkera stands for " Walk in Era" no kidding! I say don't walk RUN!! But seriously, i've had a few of the're machines and the little walkera36 is'nt bad with good electronics and alot of tweaking and modding. I'd give them a 31/2 out of 10. But if thats you're thing, then more power to ya.
