u should have gotten the V911 as mentioned many times in the last few posts ... cheap .. almost crash proof .. and flies more like a real RC heli

GP = gas powered
EP = electric powered
CP = collective pitch

ditch the 3 channel and get the 911 .. u will have 10x more fun !!!

Added on May 4, 2012, 5:44 amusually ... bigger = more $$$
and all the bigger ones u see in the market now will break something in a crash
your pocket ... u decide

yes the 911 is quite small .. but it can be flown in moderate winds outdoors once u get used to the controls

the 911 handles outdoor winds pretty well ... i tried it today
my fren was surprised to see the little thing handling the wind well

definitely handles wind much much better than the esky lama v3/v4 .. u just have to know how to handle the heli

just get the 911 .. for fun flying and learning
its the easiest thing to fly .. almost crash proof .. and very reasonably priced .. spare parts available too (if u can manage to crash it until it requires parts) .. hahahahaaha

is this what u mean ??

if u think that was cool .. CHECK THIS OUT !!!
REALLY SUPER !!! (not me la but i would love to do it one day if possible)

Added on May 7, 2012, 8:17 pmthe 1st video was captured (quadcopter) with on board camera (GOPRO) which explains no interference at HD res
2nd video was captured (plane) thru "live" transmission downlink using SD card video recorder .. this one u can see lots of interference

both flown FPV (first person view) .. just like u are sitting inside the aircraft

are u sure its the proper mode 1 ??
i am aware this 911 is only brought in as mode 2 .. u or the seller will have to go thru quite a lot of work to convert it to a proper mode 1



ailerons = tilt left/right of copter
elevators = tilt forward/backward of copter
rudder/yaw = change the direction left/right the copter is facing
throttle = minyak laaa .. hahahahahaaa

check those movements against the diagram above .. if all correspond properly then u have the proper mode that u asked for

where did u buy the "proper mode 1" ??

care to disclose the location of the shop or seller contact in serdang ?
coz i have a fren who wants a mode 1 but cannot find a seller that sells it and he does not know how to mod it himself

ok ... thanks

those are nothing ...
if u progress further into this hobby and go to 6/7 channel ccpm helis .. u will hear many many more new terms .. hahahaaha

the reason why mode 4 ... is mostly becoz those ESKY LAMA sellers just swap the gimbals over without re-doing any of the internal wiring
i oso kena like that .. but lucky i found out early when i started ccpm helis before my reflexes koyak to mode 4 .. hahahaha

google swapping modes in ESKY radios .. i have seen them swapping modes properly in ESKY radios b4 (that is IF u are using an ESKY radio la)
other types of unknown radio then i dunno

most of the TOY GRADE copters have 3 channels only .. rudder and elevator on the right stick and throttle on the left stick

5th channel is not for collective in ccpm .. it is normally used as remote gyro gain channel
if u do not use radio to adjust your gyro gain then 5 channels sufficient for ccpm heli

in the case of 911 micro heli .. there is no case of simple swap
soldering IS REQUIRED ...
if u fly futaba then no need la .. just swap springs only .. and set the mode via radio software

most of the ESKY stuff sold here are in MODE 1 ..
its all PERSONAL PREFERENCE ..

after many many many attempts and crashes .. finally did it .. hahahaha

ESKY LAMA v4 ??
hmmm .. compared to the 911 u are gonna kick yourself ..
my ESKY coaxial from years ago is on someone's roof somewhere after 2 weeks .. never bothered to retrieve it .. hehehe

metal parts = less flex = more precision in movement/control
with the v911 .. if u put that in .. it will be prone to damage from crashes coz metal is not flexible like plastic
and wit the v911 .. u do not gain much benefit at all since the gyro control is so strong and not adjustable
save your $$$ .. just fly the 911 until u are PRO with it .. then can consider going to a ccpm heli

ya ... alloy stuff always bling2 .. hahahaha
it serves its purpose better in higher precision and bigger stuff

yes ... it flies AFTER u take it out from the box & batteries CHARGED laa .. hehehehe
just may require a little trimming ..
