cpmboy now only active in MRC .. hehehe
here no kaki already ...

normal lorr ... lots come and gone .. hehehe

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

MRC lorr ... where else ... hahaha

hello ... small little group we have here but we try to keep it alive .. hahaha
where do u fly ?

we dont call rc >> toys anymore
nowadays the power in an rc aircraft is enuff to give u serious injury .. hehehehe

Small helis flip so fast that its hard to see.
I tried to invert my 4g6 and it went over so fast that it was hard to see.
They oso suffer power to weight ratio prob. Small batts always suffer with power & big batts with AUW.
So flight time vs power thing. If lessen the solo weight sure can flip better but fly lesser minutes la. Hehehe

oooh ... could just be the settings
faster swash mix ... but dunno can re-prog or not since all these are mostly RTF together with radio

elevator and aileron mix in swash mix will not bog down your motor .. only the pitch one will
so increase the elevator and ailerons mix for faster response and movements ... that is what is required
nothing to do with pitch ... unless u want your heli to go vertical super fast la then u will require higher power setup

aiyoo ... so little throttle ? can the heli fly at such throttle ?
if cannot fly then bog until die oso nvm la
only when flying ... the force based on pitch is so much on the motor that cyclics becomes (like u said) negligible already to bogging effect .. hahaha

Added on October 5, 2011, 5:53 amcpmboy ... try to get someone to look at your blades for tracking (at your current skill level later u confident already then can do yourself already)
doing it yourself maybe end in bad result .. hehehe
however the align CF blades i found no tracking and balancing needed .. may not be the same case la of coz

yup .. i did that ... as per finless
gives a little more anti torque travel for the tail blades
the other logic is .. your tail is almost always countering torque of the main blades .. so pulling the push rod is better than pushing it coz pushing will cause FLEX .. and the small little thin pushrod can bend quite easily if the guides are not in strategic positions
mine has been modded to use CF rod instead of the small little thin push rod ..

ball link distance was as recommended by finless too .. hehehe
arm position was subtrimmed to center as much as possible while linkage was adjusted to give a little anti torque on the tail blades
the tail blade ideal pitch (in theory) for hovering is about 8* anti torque .. so try to get that as close as possible while center 90* on your servo arm

no need to mod so much or even anything one laa
many just fly it according to manual out of the box and not face any problems ... hehehehe
so just finish up your build and enjoy

most of the fellas in helifreak programs the ESC 1-2-2-2-3
i did that oso ... flew it til today no probs
