I normally would start a thread in the forums to talk about a new plane...but since my blog is empty...I figured I could discuss my 'mystery' ship so I don't bore the regular forum readers out there.

What we have here are the spare parts from an Esky Honey Bee. It flew just fine the first month or two. After a few crashes, she stopped being user-friendly. I probably spent more money on blades, motors and rotor parts than the cost for the copter itself. After the last crash, I yanked off all the electronics and hung the "shell" in my son's room.

I've got a perfectly good radio, receiver and two micro servos...not to mention the 400 size motor. A ton of Dow Fan Fold Foam has been sitting in my garage for over a year and some new Midwest foam has been on my mind for the past month. Now is the time to dust off the kitchen counter and put knife to foam and get cracking.

...as they say, more to come!
