yup...I'll surely will......

also not to forget to sand the edge of your carbon fiber frame. If it is too sharp it may cut your wire .......

dunno bro...but mine feels smoth already out of the box......or...is it my hands.... .......well no worries mate.....I sanded already

i oso sanded mine where wires go ..
take your time ... build nice nice ... a properly set up heli is a much nicer heli to fly and learn on

yup..nw going turtle speed on build......just finish the head section (later some pics of it).....next the frame. 1 question : to setuptesting the servos with the tx ......is it safe if I just connect the Lipo to the ESC to the rx then to the servos?....

yup ... that is ok
or u can use a 5V batt plug direct into rx
either way oso no prob ..

cannot see anything ... hehehe

uuupps

3.5km for me on sunday ...
recorded in low res .. rendered to even smaller file causing some color blocks

Did u mod ur 8fg tx and rx?
Can go up to 3.5km with the stock one?

100% stock standard T8FG with R6008FS receiver
transmitting in multimode - 2048bit res

at 3.5km rc signal already starting to get intermittent .. if go further i am sure will lose signal .. but my video oso quite bad already at that distance
unless its a fringe dropout where i go further more it will get better ... might wanna try go further next time and see what happens .. hehehe

Hi all,

After one week of playing with my esky lama v4, i found it very hard to fly outdoor even it's a bit windy (my bad skill).

I would like to know which upgrade should i go for if i wanna fly it outdoor? Are the following part necessary for flying outdoor?
- Xtreme ESL403 Graphite tail boom
- Xtreme ESL402 Landing skid
- Xtreme ESL505 Pro 180 Motor

Which shop in KL area has rc helicopter accessories for esky lama v4 and reasonable price? Would like to ask them to tune my heli also.

You can only upgrade to a better heli to fly outdoor instead of just upgrading the parts.

mr daddoo is correct
the lama is not meant to fly in windy conditions ... even fan blowing in doors will create problems for that heli
instead of upgrading parts .. i suggest u fly the lama until u can fly under tables chairs etc etc ... make sure u are in full control with the nose pointing away from u and pointing towards u hovering ...
after that if u still wanna go into the more serious aspect of rc heli ... prepare some budget for it ... it will cost quite a fair bit

ahoi mates,

in the middle of ccpm setup here guys.....which swashplate type should I choose (futaba 6ex opt: 1-S, 3-S or 3-E??)........

3-S (120 degree CCPM)

yup .. page 28 of your instruction manual clearly states 3-S CCPM .. hehehe

% for Ai, El and Pi??........also do I need to input any value for the swash to throttle mixing (SW-T) now?....centering the servos now....not connected to swashplate yet..

just set all the 3 swash mixes to +60% or -60% ... u can then experiment from there to suit your feel
make sure your servos are in correct direction ...
ie, when u move aileron left/right only the 2 "front" servos move but in opposite direction of each other
when u move elevator front/back the 2 "front" servos move same direction with each other but opposite of the "rear" servo
when u move throttle stick all servos move up/down together (provided your pitch curve is already set up)

then u make sure your swash mixes are in the correct direction
ie. when u move right aileron swashplate should tilt right ... forward elevator swashplate tilts forward
if u move elevator forward but swash tilts back then just -ve the swashmix value of elevator if it is +ve and vice versa
same goes for pitch and ailerons

do not worry about throttle to swash mixing ... leave it alone

but before u connect all the stuff u will need to input all the correct stuff into your radio 1st ... swash mix ... pitch curve .. these 2 are the ones u need to set up your swash
