Right. E-Sky Lama V3 is suitable for beginners but the price on that website seems not right. Too expensive.

rm180 is too expensive ??
can suggest where to get cheaper ah ??

You know how much I bought Lama V4 one year ago?....RM350 lor......

RM180 consider very cheap liao.....

lama ugly la... look like old heli design... Lama design banyak lama oh.. nowdays all kids wan apache style lol

wah makin banyak org main heli skrang eh..bagus2...

guys pls read the whole thread especially when sifu QIW thought me playing lama 5mths back..now i can invert with no probs already...

how much budget and stuff
should i prepare if i wanna join this hobby

for starters very cheap oni... RM50 buy a mini heli from sg wang, see if u like onot... then maybe RM150/200 for a basic 3.5channel small heli about 12" length one, practice in the field till pro can control edi...

then go serious, start with 6channel i think RM400 onwards to 1.5k also got

i kena poison alrd

Not just 1.5k ... the price range for 6 Channel CCPM heli is very wide ..... if you kena poison be prepared to shrink your wallet unless your wallet is super big lah

I am one of the small wallet victim ......

Added on October 1, 2010, 8:13 pmDepends .... cheapo 450 size around RM500 and it is Ready To Fly (RTF). But recommend to upgrade charger and buy more battery. Standard 6 cell charger around RM200 and 3S 2200maH battery around RM80 each.
So at least RM780 already. Once you crashed the heli you will need to replace parts ..... so expect at least 1K to spend first ....... but definitely not enough ....

So far I have spent a few k in few months hehehehheheheh to me that amount is a lot already
This one still not crashing into airplane. Bro Qiw i think more than 5 digits, true ar?

my total repair cost for the 450PRO is less than rm400 so far ....
buying NEW STUFF/MODELS is not considered repair/maintenance costs

as it is the same with everything .. if u fly the same thing too long .. it will become BORING and repetitous .. so it is very normal to buy new stuff to fly and get a different type of FEEL

the closest thing to real RC on a budget is the ESKY LAMA series or something similar .. those rm50-80 stuff is just for u to have fun for a couple of weeks

for starters to get poison ... not expensive .. less than rm200 to get the ESKY .. rm100 to get a few more batteries
then how u go from there depends on yourself .. it can be on a budget of less than rm1k IF u source around for 2nd hand stuff to more than the costs of your car .. all is up to u

i saw a few models from mymegastation's website..
Lama V3 ARTF - RM99.90
Lama V3 RTF - RM159.90
Lama V4 ARTF - RM99.90
Lama V4 RTF - RM159.90

wuts the difference btween V3 and V4, ARTF and RTF versions?

Oh toooooo bad, tried some sim with plane and now I can't fly well with heli in sim already. So worry tomorrow I will crash my real heli again.

megastation all out of stock ... so cannot consider as VALID lor .. hehehehe
when new stock come in maybe got new price ??

no need to worry la .. as long as u still fly the heli occasionally sure no probs one

RTF is Ready to fly, ARTF is Almost Ready to fly. ARTF come with heli and radio controller nia. Battery, charger etc....not included.

anyone in kepong ah, where you play heli or airplane?

i am in cheras area
daddoo i think is in PG
mr slap the fire expert is in JOHOR

Yes, you are right. I am in PG island. Lonely flyer .........


Is that normal if I do pitch bump a few rounds then my tail cannot hold? There is no problem when I just bump once, but if keep bumping by pushing the throttle up and down, then at the end my tail will drift a lot. Might be my finger problem but if it is not is that possible?

Qiw, have you sold your king2?

king2 long ago sold already
the only heli i have with me now is the 450PRO

mode 2 pumps are rudder/collective on 1 stick .. possible for finger to have moved rudder ... mode 1 should not have prob
all tails move .. its just a matter of how much and how frequent only laa

lama v3 is ugly, yes. but buy a v4 and slap in a Comanche fuselage and you'll have an awesome looking flyer.

Ooooo you can do that? Where to buy?

But those cheap heli can only fly up & down Need something better than that to play with
