RE: Rocket Assisted Takeoff
Looks like you need a bigger wing? The picture was clear. I have flown a Miss 2 electric and had some decent flight times about 10 minutes but I get lines in my camera. Seaya Scott.[8D]

RE: Flight video with T-Hawk and Pure Digital P&S
The Camera seems clear, but it is hard to watch, maybe shorter flight with a touch and go will be the trick? [;)]

RE: 22E high elevation flying
Hello if you want out of the box results take a look at the Counter-rotating sytle choppers. Take a look at my gallery or hobby Lobby has some good vidios on a Co Co lama. I bought one and have had many flights with out a problem, in the vidio the fellow lays down the controller that sold me! Seaya.[;)]

RE: Just got my 22e!
Hey Guys I bought a counter rotatin Walkera and flew it as soon as the battery was charged up. Soon I was doing table landings, it did glitch once in the air and fell about two feet but did recover. I have never used a sim and fly almost every day now, it seems that you can not be shy with the power and don't move the sticks to fast. I even let a friends kid about ten fly it in the living room and he did pretty good but had a bouncy landing.[:)]Seaya

RE: Walkera 22e for a Beginner?
Hello I like the counter rotating blade stlye choppers, I have two Co Co lamas and they fly great, I bought them online for $ 98.00 plus shipping. Take a look at the add they have at Hobby Lobby, when the flyer was able to put down the controller on a table with it hovering that sold me. Also I have flown outside and it will climb almost out of sight. But they do not have to much forward speed, they make up for in handling. All I read about is the other brands with battery and other problems but for me I have almost a hundred flights indoors this winter,and very little damage if any. Take a look at my gallery, Seaya.

RE: Dragonfly 5-4 Yaw trim set to Max
Hello I am no expert, but my coaxial chopper did the same thing. I did notic that once I ran thru a battery pack and moved all the positions back and forth it did stop spinning from side to side and I gained control of the trim, instead of all the way over now it is just off to one side. As I fly it I do need a little trim adjustment for about the first two minuets then it changes to the middle. Seaya.

RE: walkera 36
I have some experiance with coiled wires, and most of the time leave them in that nice little bundle that they come in. What I think is happing is the battery changes voltage and it will glitch, always at the wrong time. Try this :charge up the battery and run the total time the unit it will last and have someone hold it over their head. You can do this a couple of times, and build confidence. Next move it around and see if it will glitch near some thing to try and identify and othe power surge or what ever. Once I was driving a boat in a river and they had an air show, only after a jet went overhead did I lose total control over the boat and it crashed into a drainage covert on the othe side of the river. A few minutes later some how it emerged with the bow busted off and hanging to one side the gas engine being pushed foward was at half throttle, but I did have some rudde control. So I think some times it is a outside interferane with a weaker signal, and sometimes by making the antenna longer your father is thinking it will have better communication with the radio. Seaya.

RE: Walkera 37 (it wont fly!!)
Hello I am not sure what you got going on with the power, but what I have done in the past when something is brand new I have someone hold it over their head and run a whole battery thru it. Then recharge it and do it again, this way if it glitches you wont crash and it gives you an idaea of how long the battery will run. Also it is supose to be good for the battery. Seaya

RE: My First Walkera Dragonfly #4 review
Hello Yes I agree Walkera has some nice choppers, I have two Walkera # 5-3 counter rotating blades and two of the Co Co lamas, they are so new nobody writes about them. I have about 50 flights on both Co Co lamas with no problems execpt when I table landed one time after about four rum and cokes. The only thing was the balance beam cracked off. I did find a couple of glitches on the servos of walkeras, but did not crash. I think it was because I ran the whole battery down in flight and was getting low on power, about 15 minutes worth. My friends come over and we put a dollar bill under a landing pad, with one flight try and land on the pad, best landing wins, most of the time it is one of the Walkera's as they hover better. Seaya Scott.

RE: Walkera -New Camera
I have been flying the Co Co Lamas and sold one to my brother in law. The Walkera is a few bucks more but is slightly stronger I think because it is more like rubber. The Co Co lama is quieter and seems to rotate with full trim, so you have to feather the stick. But they are pretty fun to fly I think for the $. Seaya Scott

Walkera -New Camera
Hello I am flying a Walkera 05-3 counter rotaing blade helicopter. When I bought it online I purchased a small camera with sound, can anybody tell me if I can hook it up to the li-poly battery? I thought that was why it was offered at the same time as the helicopter. [image][/image]

Walkera New Camera
I am trying to figure out if this small camera will work inside the counter rotaing helicopter? I am new to indoor flight but I can hover and table land it. The camera will work on a 9 volt battery, can I wire it to the Li poly as it has a voltage of 7.4. I will take off as much weight as possible to the camera. Also I have a small switch I was planning to use inline. Red positive Black negitive. can I try this with out damage to the camera?[image][/image]

Walkera New Camera
Hello I have a Walkers counter rotating electric helicoter, It flys pretty good indoors. I have about twenty flights on it and can do a table landing. When I bougth it on-line I also picked up a small camera, the camera works on a 9 volt battery but I think it can be wired into the nose of this small chopper. I was wondering if any body has mounted or wired it to a 7.4 volt Li Polyas I am ready to cut the cord off and splice on a small switch. [image][/image]

RE: WHICH HELO TO BUY?
Hello I just bought a Co Co lama on line from E hobbies $98.00 plus shipping. and realy like the conter rotation. It was real friendly to fly inside but I did crash into the snow out side and now waiting for parts. But while it was working it was great, so I had to order another. Type in Co Co lama on a shearch engine and check them out I think it is a good place to start.

Co Co Lama
Hello I bought a Co Co Lama and flew in indoors for about twenty ten minute flights. Then opon taking it out doors I went to full throttle and it really took off! After comming back down to hover the top inner shaft tip broke off as well as the stablizer bar. I have ordered some parts from Pinnacle as the parts seemed reasonable but the shipping seemed steep. Did I over drive this modle or mabey I stressed it prior?

RE: E-SKY LAMA 2 THREAD
Hey I was Flying my Co Co Lama out side and is was doing great then all of the sudden Black Hawk Down in the snow in my back yard. It seemed the inner shaft top broke off and chipped up the blades with the counter balance swinging loose. I did order some new parts from Pinnacle Model Co. with another CO Co Lama. Is this a good company to deal with parts? Do these Small Copters just break or did I fatigue the parts before as I did chip the blades once on take off. I did fly it indoors at 15 Minutes times for about a total of 20 flights. I also did put my company name on the rear tail and seemed to steady it while I hovered. Any info on this little guy would be helpful.
