Hehehehehe, preparing to invert
I am ah pek and very slow. Have some inverted flight training in sim but not progressing much. Plan to master in sim then only do that with real heli, I think crashing heli from inverted flight very hurt one, both to pilot and the heli ....... |

If that motor really so efficient to use so little power for a 500 size heli, I would not consider and buy straight already ....... |

kiasu = people who cannot lose
you love your heli, thats why u worry if you crash it my belt cp always had hard landing because of the belt too loose i tighten it up again and again, but it still loose, and i couldnt find where to buy that part with 4 screw holes to tighten the tailboom part... what is the part name? i crashed it because of this again, mange to hard landing but all the part remain no broken a few times before this crash. but that day i flew it too high, dont know if the shaft is bent, but the gear is worn down d feel disappointed with this heli, no money to repair.. but going to repair it anyhow by the way i got esky BIG LAMA green color for sale anyone interested please let me know rm350 price firm brand new |

No, I don't really love my heli but I just love my money ....... huahahhahahahah
the belt loose because the tail boom loosen up and slip into the tail boom block? If that's the case there might be a super cheap solution. Some of them they will sand the boom's end to lock tight in the block but I found it not so effective and makes it more slippery. What I did last time was to put some transparent tape at the boom's end, the thickness you find out yourself but I only tape 1 piece around the tail boom. Now I think you can lock the tail boom back to the block without the belt first. Then try to pull your tail boom out gently, if it works for you then you may put your belt back. It is very hard to show you how I did but I think you will know once you started this mod. *** Test properly and handle carefully so that you don't break anything *** Hehehehe, I don't have this issue with me so probably I think it is not the heli's problem ..... maybe you should try to ask the previous owner if he knows anything about this This post has been edited by daddoo: Nov 24 2010, 09:07 PM |

yalorr .. crashing and repairing more than flying is NOT GOOD at all
u need a heli that is consistent and flies well so that u will not crash it so easily btw .. mr shock if u wanna FPV i see u asking the kwai lohs and the told u to dump your 2.4 radio .. hahahaha u can still do 2.4 laaa .. just dont use 1.2-.13 coz of harmonics intereference 900 or 5.8 is ok ... preferably 900 coz u can set it to around 1G to not interfere with GSM phones but u will have to learn to make those DIY good antennas and patch properly i am now installing the pan and tilt into plane ... hopefully next couple of weeks can test test coz this weekend got new plane (another ZERO but different make) to maiden .. hehehehe |

Main gear? No .... unless I crashed and stripped it ........
You should learn to repair on your own now ... it's cheaper and more effective way to go. Just stay at the spot where you feel comfortable that I would say. Perodua kancil is economical so you can't ask too much from it. Everyone also know that BMW's car is more comfortable but different people has different need. |

i can only see the BEVRC link ... is there another link that u supposedly put ah ??
the BEVRC setup looks good .. abit pricey but still good and lots of good comments ok ... here is the quick shortcut to FPV and frequencies PROs and CONs i have done alot of reading the pass 2 months on FPV and radios and antennas etc etc assuming u are keeping your JR with dsmJ -higher frequencies can be easily blocked by obstacles like trees etc imagine u are at a CLUB .. u dont hear the high frequencies coming out ... u just hear the low frequencies (BASS) mostly ... u get the rough idea laa that is why the RCG fellas all telling u to throw away your 2.4 if u wanna FPV -there is this thing call harmonics (like guitar chords) ... the frequencies tend to have this 1/2 wave and quarter wave thing which is quite pronounced ... enuff to kacau your other frequencies so imagine 2.4ghz .. half wave is around 1.2ghz .. dont use 1.2ghz lorr .. 1.3ghz should be ok no probs -if range is a problem then 1st consider modifying/upgrading your receiver antenna b4 increasing your transmitting power there are quite a few threads by IBCRAZY in RCG on how to DIY your own antennas ... try with those stock whip ones 1st ... is not satisfied then can experiment -antennas are directional ... the higher the dB the more directional it becomes (unless u just UP the POWER without changing any antennas la) the OMNI (the whip antennas) have the best all round wave propagation but lacks the range unless u UP the POWER ... so alot of ppl tend to mod to the inverted V and/or upgrade receiver side to patch or other antennas what i would advise u to do is ... get the BEVRC set but go with 1.3 instead of 5.8 laa ... eventually u will wanna zoom down and do low passes and maybe cut thru trees etc etc (i know your taste la) so a 1.3 setup will be more suitable for u ... hahahaha on the viewing side ... get some cheap goggles 1st (i am doing this) for around usd150 delivered or u can use any monitor with composite/RCA input i noticed the BEVC set does not come with camera ... u will need one too try to get wide angle lenses cams if u have managed to read this far and understand what i am talking about ... then u are ready to commit ... hehehehe the kwai lohs in RCG abit RICH in their talks coz USD is ez for them ... we have to pay 3 times more than what they pay ... so theings are not expensive for them Added on November 25, 2010, 4:12 pmgood reading for basic FPV knowledge http://www.rcexplorer.se/page14/FPV/FPV.html This post has been edited by QiW: Nov 25 2010, 04:12 PM |

The distance of wave propogation is not only decide by frequency, it will be decide by its amplitude as well, for example if the volume is loud enough you can hear both high and low frequencies but of course this time the low one will be stronger.
So the conclusion is if your 5.8GHz system is very high power (which consume more energy, more battery), it will do the job as well. |

ok ... 1st of all
this one IMHO only laaaaa get something CHEAP .. that BEVRC oso not bad .. not too expensive then u will need a monitor or goggles ... this one u will have to decide your budget .. i am using CHEAP GOGGLES .. less than USD150 delivered to my doorstep my system is the HK 200mW 900mhz .. it comes with camera as well so i just make do with this .. basically i have everything i need for BASIC FPV total cost .. USD200 only this one is to see whether i will like or go any further into FPV the amplitude/power of the Vtx is a factor for range .. but the heat and size of the higher power Vtx have to be considered i have read in RCG the heat of high powered Vtx alone killed the Vtx my plan is to mount the full system onto my CLOUDSFLY ... then somebody else will be viewing the goggles while i fly the plane normally i will check with him how good the reception range etc then i know how far i can go and whether or not to do some DIY upgrades apparently with proper setup .. a 900mhz 200mW system can go 1-2km easily ... this is what i read at RCG laaa ... but thats with patch antennas etc etc |

Actually you don't need a lot of tools to dismantle the parts of BCP.
I use only 2 allen key sizes, 1 hex socket screw driver (to take out feathering shaft nuts), 1 cross head screw driver, plier and ball link plier. With this I can separate all the parts into single pieces. Except the ball link plier is slightly expensive, the rest are very cheap to look for from hardware shop. If I remember correctly, these tools cost me less than a hundred. Hehehehehe, I know you will not throw away your bcp and so do I. But if you really want to do so, let me know. Don't throw away, I am more than willing to pay for the postage and ship your rubbish to me This post has been edited by daddoo: Nov 26 2010, 02:39 PM |

mostly the tools u will need is the 1.5mm hex/allen key
pliers oso i hardly use ... and maybe 2mm hex key ball links u will need coz 450 size ball links are very very tight and improper tool to remove them may damage those ball link this is all in reference to my TREX laa ... dunno about BCP but i think most of the tools needed to work is about the same |

you can make payment through paypal which is I am using now.
to apply a paypal account for online purchase it is FOC but you need to have a credit card or debit card. |

I dont want to see ur lama v3 3d. I want to see yourself invert!! Hahah.
My 2.4 is out of the context liao, my controller still able to do a good job. Those ppl asked me to dump my 2.4ghz bcoz they are talking about...going MILES with FPV. Which i dont need that. Also everyone knows 2.4 radio are way better than Mhz which what they are using, they are jealous with that fact an the only way to diss 2.4 is applying it in fpv context, coz thats the only thing 2.4 radio Added on November 27, 2010, 4:53 pm2.4ghz have a lot of use, im playing my gliders, my hk450 and trex250 with it. It has a lot of featurea, and the dsmj range is very good. If i apply this as why u shd throw ur belt cp is bcoz, belt cp still can use, but only for hovering and CRASHING. ha ha ha! At least kancil sparepart cheaper, beltcp is like kancil with bmw spareparts. Bad combi. This post has been edited by sLapshock: Nov 27 2010, 04:53 PM |

But you should CONSIDER to take a look at hobby king first ...... Don't worry, hehehehhe I won't force you that you must order from there, you have your reason and freedom. Because some of the products from there also not really good one ..... I've heard foreigner complains about the heli ...... |

Wow, the gyro cannot kacau too much ..... I put in a piece of small sponge only, just now the tail will move by the gyro itself ..... hehehheheh fortunately my orientation improved a lot .... else kena crash again .....
Added on November 28, 2010, 11:48 amAiyo, removed the sponge but still the same .... what did I do??? The tail will lost authority when I am doing a slow turn to nose left, usually I will lower the throttle stick a bit in order not to let the heli goes higher. Suspecting the tail pitch not enough because I changed it the other day, or else I think my turnigy DS480 koyak already. Also, when I am hovering tail in then if I whack the throttle suddenly my tail also lost and nose left automatically again, this time it will move about 90 degree and goes to side in hovering .... wahahhahahahah This post has been edited by daddoo: Nov 28 2010, 11:48 AM |

increase your headspeed sommo 1st laaa using the radio ..
dont use sponge ... always use good quality double sided tape ... futaba and align got sell ... 3M oso very good that nose left when u pump = pitch or speed not enuff or both |

I did reduce the throttle curve previously a bit loh, hence reduced the headspeed also ....
hehehehe, I have that align gyro mount with a metal plate and 2 double sided tape with my BCP now. The sponge I put it inside the gyro and I think that might help to reduce vibration of the PCB. I think your suggestion is aligned to my findings because for normal hovering there is no authority lost, it only happens when I am flying and turning. OKOK, thanks for the input ........ |

normal flying and turning does not change headspeed much unless u FF at very fast speeds laaa
maybe your gyro gain too low ... if increasing your gain causes wag ... vibs then have to check for vibs the higher your headspeed the more prone to vibs it becomes and your gyro becomes a factor Added on November 29, 2010, 8:28 amwhose dsx7 is this ?? http://malaysia-rc.com/index.php?topic=17655.0 selling yours or frens one mr shock ?? changing to FM as suggested by RCG guys for FPV ah ?? hahahahaa Added on November 29, 2010, 8:29 amps ... dont put TOLONG KAWAN JUAL as reason coz it will get deleted just say need $$$ or something This post has been edited by QiW: Nov 29 2010, 08:29 AM |

Hehehehe, don't take too much cintan mee oh ......... Added on November 29, 2010, 9:31 amI remember that day when I tried to center the tail blade's pitch I have reduced the pitch that will counter the main blade's torque, maybe that's the reason now my heli have lesser pitch when doing turn and not enough power to nose right .... will check again .....

my lama is still flying, but then the flying time is now shorter because the motors heat up very fast
i got roughly 4-5 minutes of flying time only, after that it just flying very low since many of you will have experience with this heli so i want to ask, the engine got A and B? or a and b are the same, u just need swap something when install to make it spin the other side? i havent buy the motor, so i want to ask how to install it? is it plug and play? and easy to install or not? and how to take out the engine hehehe, thanks thanks thanks for help |

Just mixed my A/B evenly and now waited an hour already, still look like a bit watery ..... is that because I put too thick on the plastic? I am using this and anyone? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/u...idProduct=12584 |

my FPV stuff already installed onto plane
will test as soon as my schedule allows 1080mhz (1.08Ghz) video with 2.4ghz futaba fasst .. hahahahahaaa its only 200mW stock standard .. so range and quality will be quite limited without additional mods that epoxy looks good .. normally it sets within the specified time but not fully laa .. i just leave my 15mins epoxy alone for 2-3 hours ... 20mins i leave overnite i dont have BCP ... but i heard quite hard to take out the TREX one oso i have never changed but got accidentally take out when changing main gear .. very tight but can be pushed out using screwdriver gently |

obviously u never read my earlier post or other RCG reasons
the lower the frequency the better the wave ability to pass thru or bend around object and therefore longer range higher frequencies gets blocked much more easily ... but 5.8 has very little traffic so signal is cleaner/clearer |

taking your point that lower freq have better wave quality, then why the heck people getting 1.3ghz then if 900mhz is better? whatever it is, hows the result? |

OK, 900MHz is equal to 0.9GHz .... so you do your maths here
0.9GHz --> 1.3GHz --> 5.8GHz, got it? Aiyo, 900MHz (or 0.9GHz) is actually the frequency we are using for our handphone transmission so people is trying to find a free slot for their FPV system, understand ar? |

yaa ... the lower the frequency the better the ability to transverse across and around things
the CON is that to generate the same of "power" as higher frequencies .. sort of like range .. u will need higher power for lower frequencies @ your subwoofer (low frequencies) sucks much more power than your tweeters the difference btwn 900 and 1.3 is not much .. so ppl will choose according to the legality of use in their country .. but this is BOLEHLAND .. all oso BOLEH !! hahahahaahahahaaa u will see that those selling aftermarket modules for FPV RC radio are at 433mhz .. very low ... it is actually UHF range already ... but very very good range (well over 10km easily depending on setup) |

QUOTE(ccfook2123 @ Dec 5 2010, 03:09 AM) I got it from LHS but I think they don't sell ESky parts anymore. Anyhow better don't buy from them because I have bad experience with them in the past and now I have black listed this shop.Try to find from HK/China OHS like rc711, hobby-wing. No problem to deal with them for me lah, cheaper somemore, just that you need to wait for around 2 weeks to deliver. You may also try to find a compatible main gear since the stock one is quite weak in a crash. |

Guys, i want to ask some questions. I planned to get a RC heli - Lama V4.
![]() This is the first time i get myself a RC Heli. So i am totally new in this. I want to buy the extra blades and batteries online and the questions are Is this batteries and the blades are compatible to Lama v4 : Batteries For the blades : Blades The shop that sells the heli told me to upgrade the extension - i dont know what it is called. The extension will prevent the Heli top blades and bottom blades from hitting each other. So what is the extension name called? |

The shop wants to charge me RM 40 for a main shaft.
I want to know if it is hard if i try to DIY? I don't have experience in fixing this. By the way, i notice some battery got different C. What is the different between 15C and 20C This post has been edited by genjo: Dec 10 2010, 01:37 PM |

get the most C one is price difference is not much
it indicates the current output of the battery .. the higher the C the easier it is for the batt to provide power in laymans term the shaft u cannot DIY unless u have a machine shop .. it is around rm30+ i think ... |

I think let me explain how the C works.
If your battery is 100maH with 20C then it is capable of delivering 20A of current. C is more like a constant multiplier of your rated capacity to tell you how much current a battery can provide. So if you don't need so much of current draw, you may reduce the C to 15, then it will give you 15A. Lower C battery tends to cheaper usually. |

aiyer ......... the canopy for copterX so ugly one ......
Just bought one for my bcp thought that white color is more easy to spot in the air, but the quality is not really good. Hopefully it works as expected because the stock canopy disoriented me sometimes. |

just spray it BRIGHT ORANGE like mine .. no problems spotting it in the air
maidened the FPV plane this morning .... flew it further than my normal flight path (around 200m+) no problems with video transmit and receive range using stock setup only prob is ESC RF noise .. the video goes fuzzy cannot see when i hit throttle .. off throttle and glide very clear plane feels alot heavier and drops faster when gliding will now attempt to tackle the fuzzy noise issue ... ps .. someone else was wearing the goggles ... not me .. i am flying normally and getting feedback on video reception from the goggles wearer |

Hehehehehhe, my BCP with new bra ...... nice ar?
I will paint the white canopy a bit because the white is too much and looks very plain. Maybe try to put some sticker to decorate the bra ... huahahhahahahha ![]() Just changed my ESC to 30A version too ..... not fully tested yet but works better than the stock one .... Added on December 11, 2010, 8:19 pm Qiw, I am just speculating only. The noise in your video might be coming from the motor. From your photo I have seen that the video signal will pass through the motor then only route to the VTx. So if I am right that might the source of bad video.

no motor i think .. more likely ESC coz motor resonance not high enuff to disturb the signal
on the other hand ... ESC produces much higher frequencies coz it need to sync 3 phases i will try and isolate the ESC and cam power supply and see .... |

Using another BEC?
Do let me know what's ur finding later on .... Added on December 11, 2010, 10:16 pm But I think if it is the motor it is very easy to isolate the problem. Just remove those 3 wires and throttle up. If the video still bad, then definitely not the motor ...... This post has been edited by daddoo: Dec 11 2010, 10:16 PM |

i already have a plug that can take another small batt away from the moan batt for video ... but i hope not to use coz it will add weight to the whole plane it is already damm heavy as it is now |

Errrrr, any possible factor that contribute to the running hot ESC ar?
The new 30A ESC has about the same temperature after 6 minutes flight. Gear mesh is not tight as I have adjusted yesterday, what else? Should not be the 325mm wood blade, right? |

1. get more airflow to ESC (hovering tends to heat up ESC more than FF)
2. 30A for a 450 size heli is underrated .. i running stock align 35A oso HOT (want to change but i love the align soft start too much) whichever plane u get is up to u ... those are all 3D planes which i have no experience with (not interested in plane 3D) |

Hmmm, then I think I have made a wrong decision. Previously was struggling between 40a and 30a.
A guai low in helifreak told me it is the 2A/5V BEC heating a lot so now I have stick a heat sink on the ESC surface. Tested on the ground and I can feel the heat transfer, hopefully it helps to reduce the temperature later on. |

u will still need to provide airflow otherwise the heatsink will not function efficiently
BECs oso causes heat if under load .. i am using external BEC for my PRO .. 35A ESC still hot .. hahahaha |

Guys, after a further research i found xtreme blade for my "coming soon" lama v4.
I want to ask if this will fit my lama v4? And in this package, is it they sell 2 upper blades and 2 lower blades? XTREME Blades I am not sure and needs confirmation from you all Thanks to all pro. |

according to the description ... it comes with 2 sets of both upper and lower blades
why would u wanna get extreme blades ?? they are hard heavy and causes alot of damage if u hit something with those blades spinning ... not to mention the extra stress on your motors with heavier blades the original blades are very good .. they last quite well .. and they shatter on hard impact which in turn saves u from damaging other parts such as the shafts etc |

other than the blades ... i hear EXTREME stuff are pretty good but expensive
just change to the extended shaft for the upper blades ... that will do other than that .. i dont think u will need anything else for a beginner if u fly often enuff .. u will outgrow the LAMA sooner than u think .. hehehehe |

MPX funjet is the fastest foam plane around i think
depending on your power system .. i am flying it with a 2800mah 3S estimated speed around 170-180kmh when full throttle with 4S it gets very fast and everything inside very hot .. hahahaha i am using 100a ESC .. sapac MB1 motor for u i think 80a ESC and turnigy 2836 3200kv is more than good enough considering this might only be your 2nd plane make sure u keep an eye on it coz it will disappear very fast .. totally unlike the cessna |

performing 3D is another story la of coz .. hahahahaa funjet requires only 2 x 9g servos that 2836 turnigy is quite good .. can go to around 150kmh no probs the 80a plush ESC oso no stock ... or alternatively u can use a small BEC with the HK 100a ... |

QUOTE(daddoo @ Dec 17 2010, 11:29 PM) I've seen some of them using the 60a turnigy plush ESC, really want to go up to 80a ar? How fast usually 3S can go? depending on what prop u use ..if u stick with 60a ... cannot exceed 5x5 prop a 6x5 prop using the 2836 3200kv motor draws 70a+ at full throttle on my last known setup in that configuration so 60a with a 5x5 prop will be at the limit already .. and u will have to place the ESC outside the fuselage to be safe too (for good cooling) Added on December 18, 2010, 7:32 amwith a 3S 3836 3200kv using 5x5 .. expect around 140kmh or so laaa This post has been edited by QiW: Dec 18 2010, 07:32 AM |

No wonder I see people use 4.75x4.75 for 60a ESC only.
Is there a huge different between 140 and 200km/h in the sense of flying this funjet ar? The plane is around RM200 only but with the rempit-power-set we add in, the cost is more than the plane itself .... hmmmmmmm ... have to consider liao |

a world of difference btwn 140 and 200 for sure
the cheapest price currently for funjet (not the ultra) is about rm230 electronics are not cheap ... but if u plan carefully about your current batts .. power system ... u can figure out what plane will suit whatever components u have now instead of always buying new ones eg .. if u have mostly 2200mah 3S batts then u plan what planes are good for flying with those batts 1st ... then what other spare components u have (ESC motor etc) ... these will help u decide if u got cash to fling around then everything no probs la of coz almost all my planes electronics costs is more than the plane itself my funjet costs rm230 the ESC and motor cost me rm250 .. servos less than rm30 receiver rm250 batt less than rm80 my 25 size mustang cost me rm350 motor and ESC less than rm300 servos rm130 receiver rm250 batt rm120 my 46size spitfire cost me rm450 motor and ESC less than rm400 servos rm250 receiver rm250 batt rm240 all the above not inclusive of my time to build up the plane and setup u calculate laa .. hehehehehe |

Alamak, wrong estimation then. The cost to build your funjet can afford a BNF V120D02 .... hehhehehehhe
Now only I know that the funjet has no rudder one, correct ar? ccfook, what's your progress now? hehehheh can side in and nose in? |

what is F3P i oso dunno ...
mr daddoo ... u can go cheap on the funjet setup oso one 2836 2350kv motor .. 40a ESC .. 5x5 prop ... your 2200mah 3S batts so new costs to u would be the funjet rm230 .. motor + ESC rm120 .. servos less than rm30 .. receiver i dunno what system u using la .. batt already have u calculate .. |

Thanks for the info. I have seen one ULTRA just now at the flying site in PG. But too bad I have no chance to see it in the air as I went back early.
Walkera is so aggressive to capture the market I think, they have released a "Belt driven 4G6" ..... but with more power since it is using 20A esc, bigger motor and battery ...... Personally I feel like the old torque tube with a square tail boom is easier to survive and now the round hollow tube is prone to damage easily in a crash .... |

I am quite happy with my 4G6 too, it is very fun to fly but of course I think the hardcore 3D flying is very hard to do with the everything stock. The only annoying thing with the torque tube version is the weak bevel gear inside as it is strip easily in a crash. Waiting for V120D02 to drop in price then later on I can fly a small FBL ....
The newest belt driven V120 is very expensive now .... about USD350 for RTF with 2801 Pro Tx ...... Hehehehehe, now I can fly in all direction with my 4G6 but not reverse flying yet. Have you start to invert ar? |

Motor is easy to bog and I think I need to replace ........ more than 200 flights till now since February this year. |

I have increased the head speed (throttle curve) as much as possible and now my pitch is about +/- 8 for 4G6.
Battery also plays an important role here i think, because for the first minute it won't bog too much ...... so if I want to do invert that will be my best time ... hehehehe |

warbirds need not be NITRO or GASSER ... it can be electric
all my planes are electric .. bought 1 GP unit to convert to EP too conversion will be done myself of coz batts are very important .. if not power then just leisure flying no hardcore stuff |

vibrations from motor/engine etc will cause nuts/bolts to loosen
so just imagine if your nut/bolt loosen or comes off during flight what happens laa ... thats all if u locktite it then almost no chance for them to loose .. maybe try to invert the 4G6S today .. took it to work with me may attempt indoors (inside company store) .. hehehehe |

the shops u listed are open on saturdays ..
just went fly in the store ... hehehe 1st batt .. F8 and FF around .. good 2nd batt .. hover pitch pump ... reset gyro gain then FF going into invert ... FF too fast ... heli went too far .. flew it back towards me inverted ... then dunno why got this pillar beside me go crash into the heli ... hahahahahahaaa 3rd batt ... keep back in car .. huahahaha conclusion ... my dual rates / EXTENT for cyclic is too high and travel for tail servo not enuff .. and oso fly too far and fast for a small little heli damage .. ROTOR HEAD bent + blades gone + feathering shaft + possible minor main gear damage main shaft hard to tell whether damaged or not coz rotor head is slightly wobble already but it looks quite good/not bent (i already previously replaced the 4g6 shaft with 4g3 ones coz i heard it was harder and stronger but about 1mm+ short) the bevel gears oso looks and feels ok ... i turn and held the tail in hand .. does not feel like any of the shaft gears stripped so this will be my 1st heli crash since a long long time .. hahahaha dunno if i have spare rotor head at home .. the rest of the stuff i have laa will prolly change to plastic rotor head have to cut down my EXT/dual rates coz heli too damm fast when inverted Added on December 22, 2010, 2:53 pmps ... it will be hard to do setting changes with the WK 2602 radio i am using now .. trial and error case for next flight have to do some ordering of parts from chinesejade ... after i go back and give the heli a thorough check of whats damaged This post has been edited by QiW: Dec 22 2010, 02:53 PM |

Oppsss, sorry to hear that. heheheh, have to crash ur heli to share with me ur story ......
it looks like this little heli is not easy to invert ...... anyway I have a lot of repairing experience to share with u ... for example if after repair you found your tail wagging then may be the bevel gear needs to replace ..... main shaft usually I will just straighten ...... rotor head also can bent back if not seriously twisted .... Added on December 22, 2010, 2:58 pmYou may try to get the parts from myrcmart in HK too, cheaper most of the time excluding shipping lah ..... I found oomodel also quite reasonable but so far I have not bought anything from them yet ..... This post has been edited by daddoo: Dec 22 2010, 02:58 PM |

Hi guys, good to see the Plane discussion converging to RC Helicopter as well.
Nowadays I did not fly my RC Heli, the more I fly, the more to maintain. LOL. Funjet looks fun. What is the rate of successful landing? It doesn't really land properly doesn't it? |

FUNJET is not aimed at the beginner but it has the basics for a beginners plane
it is not a beginner's plane coz it too fast and twitchy for beginner to handle landing is not a problem as long as u have big enuff space |

because I was advised to take GP if want to go for a new heli .... but I am still prefer EP because I don't see a point to fly GP from my point of view ... hehehehhe so I want to find out the battling between GP and EP now ..... I have heard that the GP engine u need to service the parts from time to time, cost high or not? |

with GP ...
u can more consistent power thru the whole flight possibly lower cost for nitro fuel if u dunno how to take care of your lipos but .. u must know how to tune your engine be prepared to carry lots of equipment to the field (pump starter etc etc) |

ohhh, any idea how much current 3 ESky digital servo + 1 turnigy DS480 servo can pull?
Just connect the battery and leave my BCP do nothing, my ESC gets warm after 5 minutes ..... maybe this is why the ESC is hot after flight .... ccfook, can you try yours and let me know if it is the same? A guai low in HF told me my BEC is stressing too much since it can provide 2A current only .... This post has been edited by daddoo: Dec 29 2010, 09:43 AM |

hi all sifus,
Have been trying to read thru all the postings starting from v2, but the 129 pages of info + with all those external information from v2 just clogged my brain, so I finish v3 instead. Anyway, I have been wondering how it feels to control a RC heli, have been wanting to get one for a long time dy, and now I finally decided ... I am looking for: 1. RC Heli that can use for indoor as well as outdoor, indoor for training first, then outdoor for the real thing .. 2. can do more stunts with good precise control so that I won't get bored so fast with only up, down, left, right ... 3. easy to find spare parts for repair and upgrade, and of course hopefully not too expensive on the parts 4. What are the other things that I should take note before deciding on which heli to purchase. I am basically open to anything since I have not much clue about this hobby and I have not decided on anything yet. Cheers. |

this is a SINGLE ROTOR heli ![]() most coaxials comes with a radio controller which are not programmable those coaxial sets mostly costs around rm200 or so depending on what model u get these are in between TOY GRADE and HOBBY GRADE but u will not be able to fly it outdoors IF there is WIND or BREEZE ... even soft breeze on the other hand .. collective pitch single rotor heli (CP) can be flown outdoors even with quite strong winds fixed pitch single rotor helis (FP) are quite limited in choices ... some comes with the radio controller but these can still be flown with slight breeze outfoors if u opt for something like a CP to start with it will be extremely difficult and frustrating due to the nature of the heli always wanting to crash coz u cannot control it and u will spend lots of time and $$$ to repair it and u will need a radio controller most probably coz most reputable CP helis do not come with it this is a budget radio controller ![]() since u have stated u do not wanna go over rm1k in your starting budget the choices will be quite limited these are what u can get for CP helis http://www.rcsmart.com.my/webshaper/store/...roductItem=5048 http://www.rcsmart.com.my/webshaper/store/...roductItem=4971 http://www.rcsmart.com.my/webshaper/store/...roductItem=5004 http://www.rcsmart.com.my/webshaper/store/...roductItem=5053 for coaxials/ FP helis these are the common choices http://graffititoys.com/Helicopter4Channel.html but be aware those FPs and coaxials will have a lot of trouble with breeze outdoors to summarise COAXIALS ~ rm200 >> damm easy to fly but no wind conditions FP single rotors ~ rm300 not easy to fly but its closer to CP characters and can take small wind CP single rotors ~ rm1.8k onwards .. damm hard to learn but can be flown almost anywhere depending on size once u master it only CP helis are capable of doing inverted stuff such as flips and rolls as well as other advanced 3D manuevers FP helis are able to do minor aerobatics with much skill coaxials just floats around and probably will teach a little about orientation remember u still have to budget for batteries and chargers as well as repairs costs ESKY is not my 1st choice for helis but since u are on a limited budget they are the only ones available UNLESS u are willing to buy 2nd hand stuff |

Hi .. thanx for the answer and this is good stuff ...why not copy-paste some of the info and put it on the first post of each version? just a suggestion, this should help reduce noobs question for beginner like me ...
For beginners like me who stumble upon this kind of thread will definitely want to start reading from post #1, but may not continue till the end due to the vast number of pages/posts. i.e 129 pages of v2 .. I stopped at page 20+, paiseh. anyway, back to FP and CP ... how do I differentiate it from the physical checking? or from the specification? Coz I am planning to go check out Dragon Mart, a mall just for selling Chinese products and goods, I've seen many shops there selling those china made RC heli ... wanna do some survey and comparison, before I go to the real RC hobbyist shop. Added on January 16, 2011, 2:34 pmFound the following information about the FP vs CP: http://www.helifever.com/fixed-pitch-vs-collective-pitch.php so now I know how to differentiate..

Just dont get beltcp. You will regret. Play 1 time crash, buy spareparts (hard to get). Fix...play and crash, buy spareparts, fix again crash and keep in store bcoz no money to buy spareparts. Dont believe? Ask ccfook szabo.
Added on January 16, 2011, 4:36 pmBut last time i advice this guy, told him dont buy bcoz he will crash it and keep it in store bcoz spareparts is expensive, but got another pro-flyer tell him, just buy ( he himself cant do anything with beltcp except hover and crash) So this guy bought beltcp, and love his belt cp, complaint on where to get spareparts, crash and keep it on store. This is based on true story. Hehehe. Fireman works 1day 2day off..so got alot of time. This post has been edited by sLapshock: Jan 16 2011, 04:36 PM |

Hard to say lah, there was also a pro-flyer too, complaint on the Trex 450 Pro and gave very very bad comments but keep on complimenting on HK450 heli only.
I don't have 450 Pro before but from a lot of persons, they all quite happy with that heli actually lah, nothing to demand based on the price pay. Same to BCP actually, just check from the discussions from foreign forum, like helifreak, heliguy, I think their opinion is more neutral. Follow your own preference sweeann and survey more to make your own decision, dun just listen to non-sense ....... huahahahhahaha |

just buy a honeybee FP if u feel like a challenge
if u are just trying out whether u will like it or not .. then a LAMA will do fine and cheap a BCP is a matter of taste and budget ... most with higher budget will tend to avoid the BCP but some have succeeded to a level with it and some have failed everything is entirely up to u ... but if possible go to a flying field nearest to u and talk to the ppl flying there for more personalised advice and guidance |

i didnt recommend BCP cause it is not a good heli for beginner
if you buy BCP, you get what you paid for, if you expect more than that, just go for other heli, i dont know why BELT CP popped out..... just like, if you buy proton, you dont expect Mercedes feel remember to buy 4 channel at least as SIFU QIW said, buy honeybee FP if you like challenge, go for ESKY coaxial if you want a reasonable price heli, good performance heli that worth its price to me,not forgot to mention, ESKY coaxial heli quite durable, easy to find spareparts, upgrade parts with reasonable price and very stable too im a newbie too, so together we can learn, come to this thread always, BADDOO and QIW is always here to help Added on January 17, 2011, 4:15 pmi didnt recommend BCP cause it is not a good heli for beginner if you buy BCP, you get what you paid for, if you expect more than that, just go for other heli BETWEEN, i dont know why BELT CP popped out.....

Please watch out that most of the 3.5ch heli from China is using Infrared. Should be those you have seen, those are considered toy-grade rc heli so if possible go for at least 4ch heli using RF to control. I think it is more fun to fly. I have one 3.5ch heli at home but it is not flyable anymore, it uses AA size battery to charge up from the transmitter.
I am agree to you that Trex 450 Pro is sexy but you have to pay a little more to play. The price of the heli is not really expensive but that's only for a heli, you need to get your own Tx/Rx, batteries and charger separately, tools to build the heli as well.

Was looking at the T-REX 450 from rcsmart, the one selling at RM1350 Super Combo set also din come with TX/RX, right?

If possible the TX should be compatible with for Simulator, so that I can get familiarize with the same TX. Another question, normally no heli comes bundle with simulator?

To get all in a package I think only Lama has ..... including simulator.
ALIGN T-REX 450 PRO Super Combo - it only include just the heli and electronics. For example, servo, gyro, ESC, motor and the kit. It does not give you any other things. So for this combo you have to buy your own Tx/Rx, battery and charger. Remember that T-Rex Pro and T-Rex Sport is not the same but both are 450 size. If want to get a economical Tx/Rx you may want to consider what Qiw has recommended, should be Futaba 6EX. |

Yaloh, 450size heli cannot b seen clearly after 100 meters approximately.
Those 550, 600, 700 dun know can go how far. But I think heli is not for flying far, it is more for 3d nowadays. |

But I also thinking about the location, originally I though of driving into the desert and fly it from there, so even if crash also at least not hard ground, but read somewhere it is not advisable to fly the heli on dirt area, as it could get into the mechanical part of the heli. So I guess I will need to think of a place to fly once I got the heli.

most of the time i just fly planes .. occasionally i do take my heli out most radios can go beyond 1.5km line of sight in perfect conditions ... our eyes cannot even see a normal car that far let alone an rc plane or heli interference and lock outs are a totally different story |

Anyhow, my BCP I think can see properly around 50m with the white copterx canopy, it's big! Added on January 20, 2011, 10:42 am Sweeann, if financially allowed then of course go for trex ... The tx I think u should get 7 channels because if u fly GP heli then will need that. Of course, six channels still do the job nicely for EP heli.

How much is the difference for a 6-channel and 7-channel?
By the way, besides the following online stores: graffititoys.com - http://graffititoys.com/ContactUs.html rcsmart - http://www.rcsmart.com.my/index.asp mymegastation - http://mymegastation.com/t1/home.php Any other that I missed out? I mean local malaysian stores. |

Price is not the same, hehehehheheh.
It's simple actually lah, you have 1 more channel for control from 7ch compare to 6. I think 6ch usually come with basic feature and if the Tx has more channels then it will be quite complicated inside. other than that you can also look for hobbysportz, rcdreamz and so on but some of the LHS selling quite expensive ..... |

hobbytech ... hobbyworld ... rcsmart
3 of these LHS are in amcorp mall PJ there is another couple of hobby shops in times square which i forgot the names already ... one o them is a KYOSHO distro it is best to buy the best radio u can AFFORD ie. if u can stretch your budget to buy a 7 channel then buy that ... if still can go higher then buy the higher one i am using the 8FG .. this has all the features i need for the time being and the near future that i can foresee .. around rm1.3k |

I am using walkera 2801 pro tx. Hehe, as a newbie this eight channels tx is more than enough to me. This is a budget radio system so it may be slightly different with those branded like futaba. For example, the travel adjust for rudder servo in heli mode is used to set the travel speed. but in airplane mode it is used to adjust travel limit/angle.

http://hobbycentre-uae.com/index.php And look what I found in Dubai: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=544GSRt4NLU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21DnRIMGrok&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUAG-zEj3AQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMXnq8aT4Kw I wonder are they still active on every friday as those post was at least 6 months back, haha, if active, I sure dun mind to drive up there and check them out. Added on January 21, 2011, 1:46 pmAnother question, is Walkera worth to look at? Heard they have Walkera in Dragon Mart, so going there tonight to check it out ..

So far I have only one micro heli (120 size maybe) from Walkera, the 4G6 and Qiw has the 4G6S.
To be frankly I am happy with this small little heli but it is harder to learn compare to BCP, one thing good is that it is more durable in a small crash. I am using this heli as my trainer heli to learn new flying style. The cost to get one of this RTF is not cheap though. Also take note that micro heli usually hard to survive in windy condition, the bigger the heli the better they handle the wind. This post has been edited by daddoo: Jan 21 2011, 04:08 PM |

Stay away from walkera or esky beltcp, u will eventually keep it in store after a few crash. Less spareparts and expensive. Stick to trex or trex clones, parts are everywhere and cheap.
Added on January 21, 2011, 6:58 pmYou might want to join malaysiarc for details, they are far more experience and i bet none of them reccomend beltcp as it makes your learning curve steeper. Ask qiw he used to fly beltcp then change to trex. The rest dont bother. I saw one guy keeping their heli in store, i bet he will never fly his beltcp again, he even have the chick to put his trash on sale, lol, what a joke. Anw its all personal preference lah, if u wanted something to fill up the store or thrash, beltcp, period. If you think you want to enjoy rc heli, trex or trex clones. I played trex, clones and beltcp, the latter ones are thrash. Added on January 21, 2011, 7:05 pmForget to mrntion KDS is a good brand too. Anw, visit the link below, u get better advice than u could get frm here. http://malaysia-rc.com/index.php?board=13.0 This post has been edited by sLapshock: Jan 21 2011, 07:05 PM |

i have never touched a BCP b4 ... except for maybe in the shop touch see see .. hahahahahhaa
its easy to say dont this and dont but everybody's limitations are not the same .. so choices are made according to their limitations why work in SG travel up and down when u can work in malaysia for example ?? cannot make a living in malaysia ?? thats a sort of limitation but its different for everybody and their reasons we can only try to pass on our experiences to others .. thats all i have NEVER FLOWN a BCP but i have fellow flyers that says its a POS and i am know they can fly pretty well so i just pass on the word the final choice is always dependent on each individual and the choice may not be the same for everyone ... |

Well, maybe i mistaken it for zhnme. But i remember clearly in the old thread that you qiw discourage me from getting beltcp, that was in april last year when i was with lama v3.
Well, things are otherwise now, lol, wonder why. Anw, things are different here compared to the old times in the old thread, newbie post acting sifoo really irks me, guess who. Well i may seem against newbie getting beltcp bcoz of the steep learning curve that they had to go through, but look at those who deny facts? How much had they progress? I only remember one keeping it in store and another one only hovering. Yeah, thats the magic of esky beltcp v2. While i maybe flying only clones and align trex 250 (sold my trex pro coz i prefer my hk clones) and look where am i progressing now? Hovering??? That was in june last year mate. I bet i am still hovering or searching ard for obsolete parts if i bought belt cp, early june last year. Have fun guys, just dont advice newbirds the wrong things which i see alot here. eg: but to learn hover, i say you buy a 4 channel one first dude, if its a 4ch fixed pitch heli its acceptable but hovering 4ch and hovering 6ch is totally different. u can only learn orientation with 4ch! BE DETAIL or REFRAIN yourself frm advising newbie the wrong stuff, they did not intend to fill up their stores with rc heli's. Happy flyin! Ciao. P/s: to mr qiw, if u r referring to me for your concept of nt working in msia bcoz of limitation is totally wrong. its nt tht i cant make a living in msia, its bcoz u nd to google: opportunities.

to make myself clear, did i say im a pro?
i did mention im just a newbie just a few post before this hohoho, i just dont understand why BCP came out in this topic, everyone in this hobby knew that, you almost always get what you paid so you paying a rm600, want to get rm1500's feel? as i said, STUPID! you can see how stupid some people are, they comparing trex with bcp >.< i can hover BELT CP V2 at second flight or 3rd flight without myself knowing this i dont have simulator for your info i only trained to hover in small space with lamav3 with all trim sticks messed up that was how i learn to hover if we dont have the right to share opinions, this is not a forum i was just sharing my experience, to have 1 things done, not only 1 way slapshock said newbie cannot share experience, will miss leading others newbie have someone to guide you, the best if in person, you will save a lot cash, learn to repair and trim the heli by your own you expect to crash if you step into this hobby, its all depends on yourself how many times you will need to crash until you are AS PRO AS SLAPSHOCK, he just said he is a pro, so i assume he is pro la QIW and DAddoo also suggested me to buy sim i think thats only for you after you step into 6 channel la 4 channel almost flies itself, no need sim la^^ none of us in this forum suggested SWEEAN to buy bcp, i think all of us adviced to avoid this if got budget trex is reliable choice if you want 6 channel 4 channel esky, walkera best choice as the parts easy to get |

yes ... i do not recommend the BCP at all to any 1st time or even 2nd time heli buyers
the repairs and upgrades for it will prolly cost u more than an ALIGN ... just to make it fly like an ALIGN or the ALIGN's capabilities just have a look at mr zhnme's BCP ... upgrade/mod this and that but in the end still end up with 450PRO ... and u must have the skill and know how to mod too |

i just got cb180d
tested it on the spot i received it after i fully charged it to make sure its working woot! flies just like an co-axial after i tuned the linkages only when you lift it, it act like 6channel, tilt a little bit more then co-axial even much stable then big lama when fast throttle but forward flight, is a little slow, just like coaxial or the most a little bit faster, because the swash plate only can go to 45 degree-of course u can do some small mod to make its forward flight faster, but im now comparing original out of box one |

QUOTE(QiW @ Jan 22 2011, 02:03 PM) yes ... i do not recommend the BCP at all to any 1st time or even 2nd time heli buyers hehehe.... There is lot of gaps between belt-cp and trex. Some of newbie maybe won't know it but for my case; I have to mod it as my skill demand for it. As for QIW, he knew that I always fly in 3D mode. Due the low durability of stock belt-Cp, I need to mod it so it can accept my flying style for some period of time before I'm changing it to another heli. Either way, as I know and maybe others know also, durability of belt-cp is not as expected. As for most of the part is quite easily broke due time, flying skill, and our precious fingers. The mod I have done for my belt-CP is only change it's electronics, change the main rotorhead and tail system. Others were the same as stock. Such as linkage system. I use full set dragonus head coz the swashplate is the same as esky except it's much more better in cyclic management. I have lot's of fun and knowledge from Belt-CP though. It teach me more on technical stuff and requirement for each type of flying skill. I hone my skill from belt-cp quite alot. I'm learning in hard way. I know the limit of Belt-CP and I tried to push it as far as it can go until it broke into two pieces after one hard tictoc stroke in Shah Alam. After change it to Trex Pro 450, my skill became more transparent due the agility of the trex itself. the repairs and upgrades for it will prolly cost u more than an ALIGN ... just to make it fly like an ALIGN or the ALIGN's capabilities just have a look at mr zhnme's BCP ... upgrade/mod this and that but in the end still end up with 450PRO ... and u must have the skill and know how to mod too Yes, I have spend alot for Belt-CP (my previous is King 2) but the knowledge I've gain from it is priceless. Either way, for me, it's depend on the person itself. As for QIW, I have flew quite numbers of flying session with QIW and he knew how I fly. Lastly it's depend on how deep is our pocket; will be the judge of everything. I'm still in intermediate class in heli flying skill. |

not all items ... some items can get for quite good price compared to the advertised price
thats why i buy my planes mostly from LHS .. some thru OHS IF the LHS do not have what i want but batts and electronics cannot beat the prices from HK kaaa .. hahahahahaa mr zhnme already outgrow his modded BCP ... and ALIGN has became really affordable compared to few years ago as he has mentioned ... the TREX is more transparent so if your fingers and thumbs not so good then maybe the TREX will show it more apparently laa ... hehehehe |

Belt-CP is good heli to restrain yourself. As the user know the limit and he will only fly within the limit. once he turn to align or other good heli, the user will exceed the limit double. heheh

When I flying Belt-CP, I already do the hurricane, side tictoc, reverse inverted circle, half piro flipping (not piro-flip). The very first inverted hover I've done is with King 2 and using stock esky brushless motor & esc, stock purple gyro, and stock radio. Quite hard to do that time but manage it.Hehehe, I have upgraded only a KDS800 gyro and Turnigy DS480 tail servo.

hi all,
sorry for the late reply ... was busy with work anyway, bought 2 heli .... 1x small 3.5 channel coaxial heli to be fly inside my hotel apartment 1x 450 size aslo 3.5 channel coaxial heli to be fly outside Just got them last week, so far only practice the small one in room, no chance to test the big one yet. Why 3.5 only? coz the price difference from 3.5 to 4 channel here is quite a lot, so try with 3.5 first lor, even crash also no problem... here dubai everything also expensive ... Anyway, the small heli seems not so difficult to fly wor ... I got all the basic commands working, up down front back ... just that it is not so stable hovering ... I mean probably the TX/RX not so sensitive or what, I push up a bit of throttle it goes too high, I push down a bit, it goes too low, so I have to keep pushing up and down so that it doesn't hit the ceiling and doesn't hit the floor ... I will be back during CNY. QiW ... u flying in Tun Hussien Onn? I wanna see how u fly ler ... I will not be bringing back my that bigger version of heli, but probably will check out a Align 450 here in KL. By the way, whats the main difference of a 450 Pro and Sports?

its is not hard to play 3.5channel heli because it is hovering by itself
but to control it to specific place you want, its harder than 4 channel ^^ |

I mean probably the TX/RX not so sensitive or what, I push up a bit of throttle it goes too high, I push down a bit, it goes too low, so I have to keep pushing up and down so that it doesn't hit the ceiling and doesn't hit the floor ... I will be back during CNY. QiW ... u flying in Tun Hussien Onn? I wanna see how u fly ler ... I will not be bringing back my that bigger version of heli, but probably will check out a Align 450 here in KL. By the way, whats the main difference of a 450 Pro and Sports? 3.5 channel is only a toy, 4 channel full control heli, but 6-channel is professional rc stuff. Big different from each type. 3.5 = - even your children can flew it for first time without doing anything on the heli or radio. - one time buy. no spare part as i've known. - mostly claim to be full orientated heli but the only it can do is up down piro. forward, backward, side is depend on environment. 4.0 = - Need abit setup and training to fly it. - Some brand has spare part such as walkera or esky. - Got all surface control from up down forward reverse side piro - Good stuff to learn and get use of flying orientation. - also not a toy. be wary the blade can cut through paper; which mean ur skin easily. 6.0 = - Need a lot of training and crash is unavoidable. - Most 6 channel heli have spare part available (depend on the LHS) - Need precise setup. - Capable to fly inverted and any hard core 3D (depend on skill) - Not a toy. The headspeed for main rotohead exceed 2000rpm. Even mine is about 2800rpm. |

Wow, don't know what would happen if a 700 size hit you ... It can drag a toy car with a person sitting on top.

I think so, the blade can totally chop your hand off.
My nail hit by a 450 size tail blade before, then got bruise already and that moment only 1/3 throttle only. Hehehe, so this is not really a toy ...... must take it seriously. |

So far I know realflight, reflex, pheonix can use with our normal radio like futaba or JR or spectrum. The only thing is the cable and setup.

Went to "The RC Shop" in BTS, had some chat with the boss there.
Was thinking of getting a Futaba 8FGH + R6008HS + with the *ahem* Flight Simulation CD for some practicing, then only get the ALIGN 450SE when got enough practice, maybe will try plane too if I like it ... What do you guys think? |

Hi All,
I am charging my Futaba 8FG now ... there is a light on the adapter, permanently on, but there is no indication on the Radio that it is being charge, and may I ask how do I know when the charging is complete? I could not find the above information in the manual. Thanx. |

i remove my batt from the radio to charge ... just in case
who knows what can happen ... if the batt goes it is replaceable but if it goes inside the radio then who knows if the radio will be damaged normally takes about 4-5 hours when i charge it externally using the original charger now i am using lipo for my radio ... much lighter and last longer and faster charging as well ... hehehehe |

The simulator here is a piece of software running in PC to simulate the rc heli flying. Usually this simulator interacts with the real tx to gain more realistic rc flying experience. Commonly known simulators are real flight, reflex xtr, phoenix and so on.

Dear all Sifus and Pros,
I am considered a newbie in playing heli... the biggest heli i tried is Syma S031 and had few crashes caused by wind and was playing in limited flying space ( just fly in the area around 20m x 10m in front of my house)...... Recently i bought a Belt cp cx450 at a lower price and reaching within these 2 days... I read through many discussion in different forums and i found something... Is the Belt cp sooooo wild to be tamed ??? Hopefully i didnt buy the wrong heli even it's cheap... (finger crossed) Thanks !!! |

the BCP is perfectly flyable ... but it has its limitations and disadvantages
the PRO of the BCP is it is CHEAP to start get yourself a flight simulator and practice google realflight ot phoenix or reflex ... |

Hmmmm, usually when we talking about BCP it is a very controversial topic to discuss .....
Anyhow, based on my experience with BCP, it is not really difficult to tame IF you practice intensively in SIM. There is not much problem to do sport flying with stock BCP IMHO. I believe we all have a common consensus here, SIM SIM SIM .... and SIM !!!! For the BCP package u get, I think u just need to get the SIM cable to connect up your stock Tx with the PC, so far I have no problem to use my ET6I Tx with reflex XTR.

I have once bought something from them, but through courier service.
If you are looking for CB180D parts there is another option for you, try to look for jtyeap88 from lelong. He is in Penang and I have deal with him before, COD lah because I am from Penang also. |

That's the crocodile clip for you to power the stock charger from your car battery, 12V approximately. Not sure if you can do that while the car engine is on because the voltage is somewhat higher.
My BCP package did not come with the sim cable too .... |

u can dismantle the rotor head and remove the feathering shaft
then roll it on a glass table to see if it is bent oso check your main shaft .. take it out and roll on glass .. short cut would be to remove blades and then slowly spin up the heli ... VERY VERY LOW throttle only |

Too boring with my lovers already
Hehehe, it would be great if I have another lover again but situation not permitted. One of my 3S battery 'kong' already. There is a cell cannot reach 4.2V and the charging rate is slower to the other 2 cells. It happens that I run the battery for 1 min of flight time only then keep it for whole week. |

fast and beginner does not belong together ... hehehehe
if u put fast and beginner together ... that will equal spectacular crash = $$$ + time furthermore a beginner will hopefully want something that can withstand minor crashes and not too much repairing different ppl in here started with different planes daddoo with cessna slap with glider i started with a zagi delta wing all of the above can go fast if u upgrade from the recommended setup but when u apply more speed than it is supposed to have then the handling will be quite different ... for this u need to at least be able to fly much better than a beginner already ... otherwise = crash + $$$ ... not to mention the danger it will pose to yourself and others if u lose control coz too much speed and power of the above ... i recommend the AXN CLOUDSFLY GLIDER as your 1st plane (i recommend u upgrade the stock ESC to a 25A ESC) it can be flown moderately fast with stock setup ... forgiving handling and lots of time to glide and correct your moves if u lose orientation or make a mistake if u dont fly it too low (too low = 5-10ft from ground) in the event of a minor crash ... it prolly will not suffer damage ... even if damaged it can be easily fixed with some epoxy and yes ... i have owned and flown the 3 planes above b4 as for your video request .. this is quite unlikely to happen coz nobody bothers with a vid cam when we go flying phone cam u cannot see anything coz everything is so small .. hahahaha with planes u have to see and fly it in real life .. the feeling is very much different from flying helis ( i still fly and enjoy my heli) |
