hi delta whisky, which version flybar you got ? I believe the v1 is thinner than the v2? some times the 'casting' needs to be opened up a bit and it will fit the bearing ok. but nice to know there may be a prob. regards don

hi kim no, BUT........................... you need to be able to fly to set it up mate, these are designed for scale etc with flybarless heads, google radds for flight training, it will save you a lot of dosh, there is no short cut to flying helis, only the long, hard, expensive, route we all took I'm afraid, get a fixed pitch  - df4 or esky honey bee, they are good trainers and cheap to repair, easy to setup. reagrds don

hi birdy, are you using the stock tx? if your throttle is 'jumpy' it could be a 'dirty pot' these are made cheaply and some 'dust up' quickly - its like the volume control on a radio - try some 'wd40' or similr to 'washout' the throttle pot. as for the light on the 4 in 1 going red that is usualy a sign its getting 'full' signal. as for blades, they need to be 'perfectly balanced' to avoid 'vibs' and can be out of ballance straight from the packet, odd blades rarely match - they can when you acumalate a few odd ones - :-} regards don Edited By DON WILSON on 31/05/2009 23:17:28

hi guys. your ok with the 'black hawk' , 'hkh 450' , or the 'hk 450' they are all plastic head v1 trex frame v 2 trex compatable. I got the 'HKH 450' and have just gone flybar less with it, cheap but nice frame, if setup properly its as good as a rex!! at £30+ you wont get a better frame, even if you do as I did and throw the head etc in the spares box its still cheap. the tail main gear tends to slip on the shaft so swap that out for trex and the screws are crap so need a align or similar frame screw set. but yes its good here is a vid while playing with pit and th curves for the flybarless head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ggdWl6AV50   still playing with the curves no extra electronics just a good tx :-} regards don Edited By DON WILSON on 31/05/2009 23:01:52 Edited By DON WILSON on 31/05/2009 23:04:25

hi kevin that sounds good to me regards don

hi kevin. the 53Q blades  are ok but not any better than the origionals.  waiting to see if the xtrem people pickup on this and turn out some harder blades   regards don

HI KEVIN. i HAVE THE BLUE/SILVER AIRWOLF ONES but alas the blades are no stronger than the origionals. regards don

hi kevin is that the origional blades? my silver and blue 53Q blades seem ok in doors, not tried them outside yet. where you get yours kevin? regards don

hi kevin. yes the airy blades are terrible, the 53Q blades are the same size as the lama, got mine todat , flexible like the airy but seem stronger, did chip one today in front room but on a chair leg at fast headspeed . look good too , going to cut some down for my w38 chinook try them on that, they dont hardly flex at all in flight even under hard liftout but sound good when you do that you will have to put a note with the next purchase saying NO airy's. actualy they are not the 53Q blades but the airwolf ones.............     regrads don   Edited By DON WILSON on 01/04/2009 02:08:37

hi kevin http://www.rcmods.co.uk/hm-5g4q3-z-02-main-rotor-blades-i609668.html  bought from them befor seem ok, cant remember what thier del like but says -   If your order was placed before 3:00pm (Mon-Fri) it will be dispatched same day.  -   main rotor diam only 408mm not 450mm so about 20mm shorter - depending on the size of the blade holders. they are 5mm too long for my walkera 38 so can go there if not enough lift for the lama, but seems the big lama has stacks of lift with origional blades so should be ok with little less, just more head speed. so we shall see , regards don   Edited By DON WILSON on 27/03/2009 22:21:37
