canopy paint peeling off kow kow and cracked abit ... i using those fluoro paint for better visibility thats prolly why paint dont stick well
other than that .. heli is healthy as a cow

Added on January 26, 2010, 9:49 amtail drift abit quite common with the 4g6 .. afterall its a 4n1 and not a standalone gyro so performance will have limitation
but once u start FF and doing stuff for sure u will not notice the drift liau .. hover hover of coz can see the drift la .. hahaha

Great 1~

flight time for the xeon FP is MINIMUM 7-8mins .. after 8 mins i still find 11.2-11.5v in my batts .. hehehe

I just realise that your FP body frame from is different at the place for lipo...

this FP batt placement is BIG HELI style one maa .. hahahaahaa

I guess I am addicted to rc heli now. I bought a cheap coaxial heli a few weeks back and now so exciting and planning to get a stable heli.

Probably I could afford for rc heli 1k below but I am from Penang and don't know where to get my toy ...... any idea?

You can get from LHS... such as RCSMART, HOBBYSPORTZ, MYMEGASTATION, my-rcflyin.com .. they have online store... or you can view malaysia-rc.com for used heli...

your budget is just about enuff to get u the FP i just SOLD (pending funds transfer completion)
futaba 6ex or a dx6i brand new ... and about a rm400ish heli .. hehehehe

unfortunately anything else is way beyond rm1k or even 2k .. for the exception of a belt CP which i totally advise against unless u just wanna hover
the other alternative would be a king2/king3 which is IMO a much better heli .. except the tail boom is too small .. hahahaha
king2 is slightly smaller than the belt CP ... costs slightly less than the BCP .. cheaper batts
both using the stock radio which does not help at all ..
radio is one thing u cannot save on .. buy the best u can afford

slowly build up your stuff ..
start with a good radio ... this helps u do adjustments and tuning which u WILL appreciate
then look around for the heli of your choice

My new 4g6 canopy~~


Attached thumbnail(s)

mprasm's paper fold it up ??
not bad at all ... but i would choose brighter colours for visibility ..

Ya... it's paper... that's the brightest color available... the stock 1 even worse (Black in color)~!!

This is white/red~~ so better.... i found 3 design, and this is the brightest 1....

Hey, QiW

Where did you buy your 4g6? How much is that?
Can you do a stable hovering and 3D flight with it?

i dont have a 4G6 .... yet
i heard LHS here selling rm1k+ laa ... totally not suitable for u coz u can so far just fly the LAMA coaxial
if u get the 4G6 u will crashing until your tears dry laa ... repairs bills will be so sky high u will wished u never taken up this hobby ...

get a SIMULATOR 1st ... then practice in the SIM .. after u can hover well in the SIM then can consider the 4G6 .. CONSIDER ahh .... does not mean u can definitely fly it even after u can fly in the SIM ... hehehehe

and YES ... u can do 3D stuff with it IF u have the SKILLS laa

edited for surprise purpose .. hahaha

Shh~~ suppose to be surprise...

need me to edit my posting or not then ?? hahahahaa

83 & 87 ... nice young couple la u guys ... hahahaa

Have to edit~

But where to get the simulator?

there is supposed to be a simulator that comes with your ESKY LAMA .. that CD thingy and a USB cable
otherwise just search for rc flight simulator using google

OK. thanks for the information.

Currently surveying on the Align T-Rex 450, it looks great while it is not more than 2k but looking at the size and its capability, it should worth a try

But the headache part is you have to assemble the heli yourself, any sifu here did this before? Any extra tools and screw/nuts needed?
