AR Parrot Drone

Woohoo! Didn't expect it so soon, but nice surprise anyway for a Monday. :) The box is slim but big! Kinda knew what it was when i first saw it. Haha, delivered by USPS too, was worried that it'd get lost or something!









The set comes with the main body with the outdoor body and indoor body kit, there's a LiPO charger/balancer and one 1100mAh batt (which i know won't be enough). There's also a quickstart guide and stickers to paste on the body of the frame so that it can be detected during the AR game portions. Controller? Haha, it's the iPhone or iPad, cool huh?

Guess the only time i can take it for a spin is this weekend! Can't wait!

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! :)
