I don't know anything about the Eagle 50 so I can't comment on it. But I know both Esky Honeybee CP2 and Esky Honybee FP. They are both good heli. If you have no experience before, try the FP - durable and easier to fly but both are good heli. Esky Honeybee CP2 is marked out of stock on Xheli. If you like Esky Honeybee CP2, check out the BPhobbies - great service.

As Eddie said, try the Fixed Pitch helis first if you don't want to try a Twin rotor one. The FP have slower head speeds and the crash damage is far less ($$$) in the early days of heli flight ! They can take a lot of crashes with just the landing skid damage.

Let us know how you get on !
