But surely there must be a (much smaller) list of good points?
Admitedly I am looking at the very low budget end of the hobby and will probably never want to progress to bigger models.
Its one of those hobbies I always fancied having a go at. I used to race rc cars in the 80's when they were popular. Never really wanted to try planes, but helos really do interest me.

Helicopters are the spawn of the devil Of course it could just be that I've tried flying helis and I'm shite at it

Give me a fast plane anyday. I can throttle back and mooch around just chilling and then give it the beans when I want an adrenaline kick. Helis need constant input- definately more of a challenge but too much of one for me...

And it's true that it has been blooming windy recently so it's all a bit hypothetical until some good flying weather turns up. I'll fly in any temperature (-10 up to 30s) but my flying stops when the wind gusts are much above the mid to high teens, it just stops being fun.

good luck with the honey bee. i had one for a giggle and they are a nightmare to fly even for an experienced pilot. way way too twitchy for a learner. Get a raptor or you will have a real hard time learning. been there done it got the t-shirt base ball cap shoes and jacket. the raptor is the way forward. if you are dead set on the honey bee the first thing you need to do is dump the gyro and put a decent one on it or you will never have a chance of achieving stable flight and being a learner you wont know if its you or the setup.
