Belt Cp V2 Simulator

I got the E-Sky Belt CP after I had had my for a while and having had the (which wasn’t fully mine) for a while also. I was feeling cocky after flying my Lama (another e-sky product which was just brilliant) and having logged something like 20 hours on the Blade 400 I thought for the price this just was too good to pass up! I had the 72mhz one. They have a newer V2 version like the one I show here in the picture.When I got this I was pretty green with regard to my flying skills. I could do some forward flight but still really having some issues with hovering and keeping it in one place. It comes RTF (ready to fly) with just a need of a charge of batteries and you are good to go. Mine was more smother and a tad bit less touchy than the Blade 400 to fly.

The controller is pre-programmed and although you have some tweaking I quickly changed out the Rx for a Spektrum one for my Dx6i. The gyro that came with mine was a bit wonky and didn’t hold the tail as well as the one that came with the Blade. I bought the hop-ups (metal head) that were for it and didn’t see that much improvement over the plastic parts. I did fly this one for about 6 months off and on, getting better at my skills.

I did replace the gyro with a Heli-Max heading hold gyro which helped the tail some. I haven’t flown a V2 and my experience with the V1 wasn’t really all that bad. For the price it is quite a package. But there is just something ‘missing’ that I can’t put my finger on that makes it a little less polished or refined maybe over a Align product.If you are on a budget and want a 450 class heli already pre-assembled, this is really not a bad gig.

The V2 has new frame, new head, new design, new electronics & new gyro. It should be quite a bit better than the v1 and it just looks cooler now. Check out the vid below for more infoI sold my Belt CP to help fund the which was a loads better heli but alas not RTF.

Electric RC Helicopters are one of the fastest growing sectors of the radio controlled hobby worldwide. The motor holder is a plastic plate screwed into the frame that well adapts to various size pinions. I wonder why E-sky did not make this aluminum to give it a better hold on the motor and give it heat-dissipation property. The battery bay is one of the main problems I encountered. There is limited space in which the battery can fit into.

An 1800mah li-poly cell will be snug but for higher amperage batteries like the 3E's 2200mah, it will never fit-in. If you plan to use higher capacity lipoly-packs, better use packs made by Thunder Power or if on a budget, the Dual Sky lipoly-packs will fit in nicely. Just make sure that the weight distribution is balanced since there is only limited space to move the battery pack around the bay.The head design is similar to Walkera's DF60 or the Esky's King. The Plastic head design has its flybar on top of the blades. I really am not sure on the advantages of having the flybar on top but I guess having it there has some amplified control on cyclic.

Its like simple physics. The longer the force arm on the fulcrum the less the amount of force needed to move the object. Well, since the flybar is considered as the disturbing force that produces movement on cyclic, the farther it is on the CG (center of gravity) with regards to the main shaft, the more amplified the forces react. But I have tried both the standard flybar at the bottom of the blades and the one on top, I really don't seem to find any difference on its flight patterns.After a halfday of building I have finally finished the Belt Cp. The links were set correctly by the factory and need only some slight adjustments based on my preference of flight, but it's good to say E-sky's BELT CP manual (included with the kit) is well-made and detailed.

Building a CKD Belt-CP will not be a problem. Testing the Belt-CP for the first time is a different experience; I cannot compare its flight patterns to Align's TREX 450XL. The Belt-CP has its own distinctive feel that I've felt only on this heli. The power on collective seems to be very good but lacks a little on cyclic control.

Overall, control is quite good for an all-plastic helicopter. The ball links were just right and fit. Not too loose yet not too tight, and binding on the links was not an issue either. There were some binding issues I encountered with the tail assembly belt system and the one-way bearing, but as time passed and break-in period was over, it does get loose. Weight seems to be on the heavy side so it gets most of the Amps from the power packs. But weight also gave this helicopter good stability in hovering.

The 315mm wood blades included with the kit seem to hold well even with a 4200Kv motor plugged into it. But a good pair of 315 CF (carbon fiber) blades will surely make this heli move faster and more responsive in cyclic commands. For a full 3D-capable heli which can match other helis on its class at a fraction of the cost, this E-sky Belt CP is a good starter heli for those who want to enter the hobby. It is also a full-competition heli with modifications using after-market parts.Suggested upgrades: Carbon fiber blades, metal head and tail assembly, Carbon fiber mainframe with aluminum inserts. The Belt CP is one good heli to have. E-sky seems to be on the right track on creating good quality low-priced helis that will surely carve a share on the market.By:Originally Posted At:( )Republished with permissionComment form closed due to spams.
