4S1P 2800mah 30C lipo for sale. RM155

thats super expensive ... buying direct from HBK cost less than rm100 including shipping
i have bought at least 10 ..

Dear expert, want to check with you all. Regarding the 3.5 channel toy that I mentioned earlier, the WM-196 large outdoor heli that I have. I found out that I can actually order some of the spare parts from China. My initial suspect is the motor, blade and may be also the POB board (circuit board). Going through the calculation + shipping, it will cost me around RM95 (Assuming I get one set of each). Should I do this or I should just keep this toy heli in the store and save up the money for a big Lama outdoor if I like to fly the heli outdoor?

coaxials like the LAMAs no matter big or small do not like WIND
the bigger ones like the LARGE ESKY LAMA can take more WIND la ... when u can see newspaper blowing around on the floor i think that is when u do not fly your BIG LAMA to be safe

it is not worth it to repair your heli ... it probably runs on BRUSHED MOTORS and will soon wear out again .. same goes for the other part
why ?? coz it is made for the purpose of being a TOY/NOVELTY ... not a hobby grade aircraft ... hobby grade stuff goes up much higher in QC

ic ic. So it's not worth the repairing cost then. So which heli is recommended for outdoor? Don't suggest those 2-3k one lah of cos. I am just starting this hobby and really like to fly it outside instead of inside house. (Small unit packed with furniture). Anything less than RM 500?

for that price the only option to u is the ESKY BELT CP ..
that will be super steep learning curve as u will crash and repair 100 times more than u fly
something smaller that can handle minor wind and in your price range and skill level ... go google walkera 4#6S and read up on it

Yeah, I think you can go with those 4-ch Fixed Pitch heli first. It's a class in between the coaxial and Collective Pitch heli.

The 4-ch FP heli is good enough for a beginner to learn hover and orientation.

Thanks for the advises sifus.
Now, a quick check on rcsmart does not really show any reasonable 4ch FP heli available. Any idea which of those local shops in KL having access to these?

Started with 3.5 Ch co-axial toy - small + big heli toys. Hooked, then was looking at eSky Big Lama. Now progress to 4ch FP heli.
hmmm .... am I moving too fast?

By the way, I have already got the eSky simulator. Even if i've calibrate it correctly, upon initialization and flying up, it's always tends to sway to one direction even I am not moving right or left. Just directly lifting it up with throttle only. Is that normal behavior for the simulator (I know in real life it'll sway)?

nope ... not fast at all
my 1st esky lama lasted me 2 weeks b4 being blown by the wind up somebody's roof
then i bought a 4g3 .. 2 weeks after that i bought the trex 450pro
i hovered the 450pro in 2 weeks

single rotor helis are never stable ... your SIM is telling u the right thing

Morning people. I was practicing on the FMS simulator over the weekend and realized that this is a mode 1 radio controller. The toy RC heli that I have are all on mode 2 operation. Just want to check if it's good to train using mode 1 or it makes more sense to switch it back to mode 2? The suggested walkera 4#6S's controller is mode 1 or 2?

Just wondering which mode is the mode to go.... I am a right hand writer. Does it make a different?

hi all. ever since my fake lama v3 got broken i gave up rc helicoptering for a while.

was wondering if there are any good reliable stable and affordable choppers for sale that can be flown indoors.

i see the walkera 4#6S seems popular. is that a cool chopper to start with?

whichever mode u use is a self preference ... just go with whatever u are comfortable with
the wakera radios can be configure to either mode .. same goes for futaba radios
AFAIK spektrum cannot change mode ... JR i not sure

i am flying mode 2 ...

check out which mode does what 1st ... google rc radio modes
then u can have a look .. test out the modes in your SIM .. go with whatever feels natural to u

Added on September 26, 2011, 12:59 pm4#6S is the fixed pitch variant of the 4G6S .. it is less than 12inches in length (fuselage) and excellent for indoors
and it is very stable for the size ... but do not expect to go from LAMA to that easily ... spend a bit of time with a SIM 1st
after u can hover properly in the SIM then u should be able to handle the 4#6S hovering no problems
that will stop quite a lot of bleeding from your wallet

nice. how bout reliability? i hear that it uses brushless motors and thus possibly not as likely to burn out.
would anyone know of a trustworthy dealer in malaysia which also provides spare parts?

I am also looking for the at the moment. rcsmarts don't have that ... any one here?
Alternative suggestion? Am looking for something around 500 mm in over all length so that I can do bit of outdoor flight

walkera is not a popular brand here ... plus the parts are not cheap compared to align and some other more popular brands
but u can import the parts yourself .. just keep some parts that are easily damaged in a crash ..
small helis have very small impact so most of the time u would not be surprised to find no damage or no major damage

Other than those esky walkera i think there is another choice, nine eagle. But same loh, lhs did not carry this afaik.

yup ... NINE EAGLES is another choice
i HEARD (no personal experience) it is oso very stable ...

cpmboy, where are you? you are the only one nine eagle pilot here ...........

Come come tell people more about nine eagle.

MRC lorr ... where else ... hahaha

Finally found RC heli geng here..
hello guyss~
