Ah, my helicopter can't climb high again and requires severe trimming to fly straight. 2nd time this problem occurred. Don't know what has been damaged. Should I send for repair again? Lol..

Or should I get a new Esky Lama v4. Perhaps it lasts better for extensive use?

Guys, recommend me some helicopter, smaller than esky lama, durable, readily available parts, good flying time. I think I want to fly indoors already and get a really durable helicopter. I'm disappointed with mine

CB100 cost more than 4#6? What are their price in local stores? Available at mymegastation?

Since the single rotors aren't that leisure-friendly, what coaxial option do I have? I want small helicopters because it would take less impact in crashes. I'm confident with myself but sometimes other people fly my helicopter.

Mymegastation still shows Back Order for Esky Lama for months

My helicopter is back to action. I just got the battery replaced, for the second time. Apparently on daily hardcore training, it can only last several days. On casual use, it just lasts somewhere like a month. Why is the lifespan of the battery so short?

Does Esky Lama's battery die very quickly?

Ok, I'll try not to overdrain the batteries by using timer. The battery is only 500mAH. Quite hard not to overdrain such small battery.

Added on May 2, 2010, 8:57 pmMaybe it's more than the batteries. I can only lift off about 3 feet for 5 seconds and it will stall. Maybe the brushed motor died. So many things to replace. Flying 2-3 times a day is excessive work out for the machine?

I give about 15 minutes break minimum because I only have one battery and I had to wait for it to charge. Getting brushless for cheap helicopters like Esky Lama isn't worth eh?

Yes, it doesn't take too long to charge my 500mAH batteries. Unless I fly kao kao to fully discharge them, which isn't good.

Got my helicopter repaired replaced. Something is wrong with the speed controller. The seller was busy with other customer and so he gave a new set of helicopter and transmitter. Lol. No random people shall fly my helicopter this time.

I download Esky FMS but didn't manage to run on my desktop because of Nvidia flickering issue. Hard to fly using keyboard

Oh, how to?

How much would that be? lol.. Can I use the Tx for Esky Lama also?

I wished to get 6ch helicopter for some 3D flying but all of these helicopter are very big. Once crash, I have to pay a lot for repairs. Can mod Lama to 6ch? Haha..

Lol.. Aiks. There's no small helicopter like Walkera 4#3 that can do 3d? I want something of low maintenance cost. Greedy person.

I don't think 4#3 can do inverted hovering. What I meant was to look for something small like 4#3 or 4#6.

Belt CP for RM251! That's cheap isn't it.
