look at the main shaft vs swash plate from the side and from the back
make sure it is level on all angles .. adjust/turn the linkage from the servos to swash to level it ..
oso check CG and balance your blades ..
remove blade from heli .. hold and balance the flybar 90 degrees to your heli body .. it should be level or very close to level .. if not then your CG is out and heli will go towards the heavier direction

Added on February 5, 2010, 11:23 amswash should be 90 degrees to the main shaft .. so look at the swash relative to the main shaft .. not the heli body .. hahaha

hmm guys im interested to start flying heli but after reading a few pages i don't really get what is good for beginner leh? hmm any webpage to read or any good reading for starting?

Oh, so Align is actually catered for more professional users and I should expect them far beyond RM500?

If I had known that E-Sky Lama cost about RM200 or less, I definitely would have gotten it. Ish.. Now I only got a 3 ch helicopter.

Surprisingly the E-Sky Lama has no tail rotor.

most electric helis fly from around 4min to 10mins depending on setup

of coz u van play more than 30mins .. all u need is many batteries lorr .. hehehe

yes .. BRUSHED motors will die after short while
whether u let it cool down or not .. its the nature of the motor
thats why long term players go for brushless setup .. but totally not worth it for lama coz the brushless setup prolly cost more than the lama already .. hahahahaahaa

30mins >>>> multiple batteries laaaa

u eat 3 meals a day minimum rite ??
can u eat it all at the same time ??

it is possible .. but will have its effects laa .. haiyooooooo
please tell what does not breakdown or spoil over wear and tear ??
even brushless motor oso kong la after wear and tear ... i managed to kill 2 brushless motors in 1 week

For those Lama V4, are the gyro replaceable with upgraded head lock gyro etc? Or are those 4-in-1 circuit that cannot be modified?

Added on February 24, 2010, 7:48 pmBig Lama is also similar to Lama V4 but just bigger? Also having gyro right?

thank you sifu QiW.

i really appreciate it. anyway i finally can hover already after 2 days of intense practice.

regarding the wobbling, my lama didnt wobble when i apply throttle but when its start to wobble whenever i apply aileron or elevator during flying.. do u know why is this so?

Added on April 6, 2010, 7:28 pmforget to mentioned that i alrady loosen the blades, as in the blade is not tight at all.

hi cliffang83

thank you. i downloaded and read, i think it would be good if all this copied to the first page and the very first post. just my humble suggestion.

anyway i settle the wobble problem, its somehow fix itself i guess?

now i have problem with my battery compartment on my lama, everytime i land the battery will came out.

damn just crashed my heli hard until the canopy kemek! haha. shit man! i cant play in small room..iwill panick!

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

Notice at 01:25, no wind at that high meh? My house in singapore at 6th floor also quite windy already.

Not meant to argue la bro hahaha, or not to say coaxial the best or what...but i thought coaxial cannot fly that high with little wind at all

but it can.

Added on May 7, 2010, 9:05 amAnyway, anyone have any idea how to mod my lama to put blinking red LED on it?

how much is colco Apache AH-64 Coaxial RC Helicopter in malaysia? where got sell?

I wanna upgrade the battery lo, wondering if u guys can help me comment pro and con...

I got some electronic knowledge so I can wire up 2 AA rechargeable batteries and tweak the voltage to about 3.7V, with Energizer batt 2x2000mAh(1.5V AA). Theoretically this should give me 8x more juice than my 3.7V 500mAh LiPo battery... right? Weight shouldn't be an issue as I tested it and it seems to be able to carry the extra few grams.

Appreciate your inputs!

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

Ooooo you can do that? Where to buy?

my budget below rm500
i want simple one
just buy charge and fly
no need do modification

as for repairing, is it the rc will spoil very fast? lets say no crash? does it cost a lot? and what part that are normally spoil?

as for the trex clone, what do you mean by rm400 for heli? is it not including charger battery and remote control?

and sorrry to ask what is this term?
and if i buy second hand one, what should i check when i buy? thank you

lama v3 the best, bro qiw is my sifu..hehehe

as for repairing, is  rc heli will spoil very fast? lets say no crash, just normal play,does it cost a lot to repair?what part that are normally spoil?

anyone answer these for me pls, i need to know so that i will decide to really step into this hobby or not, im just a student, cant really spend to much on it

as for belt cp, may be i will buy it first and learn it later.....so i need to know repairing cost and all that
im thinking of lama v3 or v4 too, as so many of you guys recommended these 2 model

any idea which shop around kl,selangor or n.sembilan got shop that selling at cheap price?

as for belt cp, may be i will buy it first and learn it later.....

damn it oooooo...
my lama v3 broke the blade againn but still can fly

the upper and lower blade hit each other when flying
is this happen normally?
i pushed forward a little and then i push almost all the way backward, then crash.....

only need to change to longer shaft then i can fly outdoor de?

bro daddoo
mine, not this part come off
mine is clippers on the heli landing kit
so i have no idea what to do
just temporary forget bout it la
now i better play with my lama v3
crash i can repair by my own and less costly
hopefully i not connecting the positive to negative againnnnnnnnnn

after i changed to longer shaft, still blade crash, servo horns got 5 or 6 holes one, left only inner part 3 holes, so i no choice, changed both side to 3rd holes, 1 of the blade spoiled

and then i go to play again after i change the blade

this time, i crash again. the upper part (cover to hold stabalizer )of the shaft gone><, no choice la, have to change to to original shaft



changed my 1st esc at timesquare for 65
just now went to 2 shops
1st shop rm130
2nd shop rm95 i nego with him rm80, he agreed but with the condition i have to install by myself,i dont mind installing by myself because i want to learn, but  just a few screws, also count with me, wonder how his shop still can tahan till now, his price is not cheap at all, and his attitude
i go his shop to buy, but like i owe him money... really sad
and the tauke of this shop, damn sozai, he asked me how much i bought this and that, at the end he not happy pulak when i told him how much i bought, coz he is selling much much more more expensive.

shops with good service and good price are all far from me....... deng aaaaa

COAXIALS/LAMAs are good for starting ...
then i suggest u move to low cost FP helis coz those things literally quite hard to damage unless u fly straight full speed into a wall laaa
when u can do all orientations with the FP then u should not have any problems with a CP already
leave the BCP alone for the time being

if u are still crashing the LAMA then the learning road is still long ... whack the SIM kow kow !!!
