Kevin Davies 2 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 hi Kit, yes its the esky model its been o.k a few crashes the top of the inner shaft is weak im on my third ,one crash broke the frame but i fixed it with ali sheet one of the motors has packed up im hoping to get one under warranty. if your gong to get one Sussex model shop has them at £89.99 but overall i like it its stable in abut 10mph winds, but once you lose control its gone Hope this helps Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON WILSON Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 hi guys, there is a cnc out now for the big lama ,the blade holders not up to much but the center shaft looks good, gets rid of the fragile plastic top. regards don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON WILSON Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 heliguy.com has then in stock, [as with the lama2 v3 the blade holders are not good], BUT look at the walkera chinook for blade holder spares - same as the extreme for the lama one piece ally - same blades also. and motors, check out aliciajay.co.uk for motors.

DON WILSON Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 hi guys, yes the 'big lama ' si good for a coaxial, - must be treated like one - not like a single rotor and be aware of its obviouse limitations, flys in up to 10mph wind 'with caution' its fixed pitch after all. I am waiting delivery of the artech md500, any body got one? read not good reports so far, but am schepticle as it says out side but we all know' with caution' so just hopeing these people are treating it like a king or belt cp/trex. so obviously wil be dissapionted. regards don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Hailey Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi all I my self only ever fly in flat carm conditions, and are luck to be able to fly every day of the week at some point, so I can only feel sorry that not every one of you has this pleasure, and all I can do is keep wishing for good weather to come as soon as posible for you all, we all look fullward to the day when the heli just flys totaly fine with no hitches. Happy hovering Owen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON WILSON Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 hi owen yes I can fly every day too.-- belt-cp out doors,---- or one of a selection of coaxils indoors, ---if too bad out.-- summer can't be that far away now surely regards don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON WILSON Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 hi kevin. re upgrades look at the shafts for the MD500 at blink........... they are slow but have silver shafts - metal. not the 'pink' ones of esky. regards don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Davies 2 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Don have you got a link for blink sounds like poetry, ive been on A/Jay cant find upgrades and Heliguy only seems to have ALI swash thanks Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON WILSON Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 hi kevin I think heli guy has complete upgrade, if not the esky -purple- is on ebay. cant find spares for this at blink site. must have been ebay, they are out there http://www.heliguy.com/Electric-RC-Helicopters/ESKY-Big-Lama/Big-Lama-CNC-Upgrade-Pack/ from the heliguy page Big Lama CNC upgrade pack - consists of blade grips, inner shaft and swashplate. With a purple anodised finsh that looks great and a quality that means improved stability in flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Davies 2 Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks Don found the parts wasnt looking for a kit of parts but im going to order them this week. £34 99 ive already spent £30 on inner shafts so should save in the long run.
