Post for the weekend...

Went AGAIN to rotor at kitchener, the people there must recognise me by now! :p Anyway, went and got myself a E-sky King 3 RC copter. :p I only did that cos i told myself that i would get it if the shop had it.. and didn't expect them to!

Quite sweet this baby, it has a very solid feel to it, and access to the inner parts is easier.. uh.. the manual is so-so, typical china english... :p

Another reason why i got this is cost, for a 400-450 copter, this is cheap... the total cost is not even enough to buy a good JR or Futaba controller! :p I figured i'd get used to bashing this 6-channel first before i move to bashing a $800+ chopper!

Weeelll... no time to fly it anyway! Battery is still charging!!! : And i'm booking in for the remainder of my ICT tomorrow... so prob only next week then will i have a chance to test fly.. :)

First Post!

Well, i guess it's be interesting to put up stuff i have bought/seen/heard/eaten. Guess now's a good time as any!

Recently got into RC helis... i'm no pro mind you. My only other experience is with the PicooZ micro copter. My buddy recently got a very cool Syma S002 copter, which is a 3 channel beast compared to the Picoo... plus it flew really well!

That got me looking for a copter too (thanks buddy! :p), and after browsing through the web, i decided on the Esky Lama V4 chopper... man, i didn't know what i was getting into! Suffice to say, a electric RC chopper is a different thing altogether.

This is the Lama V4...
... not this. :p

The Lama V4 is a 4-channel co-ax copter, so no tailrotor needed. It's ready to fly outta the box, so just charge the battery, and off you go! Simple right? No way! It's pays to spend a few hours to get a hang of the controller and the four channels - throttle, rudder, elevator, aileron.... as they say... "simple to learn, difficult to master"!

Getting this is my first step to another class of choppers, the 6-channel ones......... considering a TT Mini Titan or the Align Trex 450/500... but i really gotta think carefully... expensive hobby! :)
