I use a Hitec Eclipse7 with mine. I think it should be set to neg. shift.

Hey Gary, what does a guy gotta do to get together with another guy from Maine, and try to learn to fly his King?

Got a question for you all. I've just got a Lama on mode 2, throttle left, but I'm not sure it's doing what it's supposed to do. In the instructions it says for Mode 2 the left hand stick will also make the Lama lean left or right if you give (if left or right imput). It also says the right hand stick (if given left or right) will make the head change direction i.e. directional.
But my Lama is doing the opposite. Give it some left on the left hand stick and head turns i.e. the heli spins on its axis (directional) and the right hand stick is the lean?
I think the instructions are wrong actually, but I would like some clarification from anyone else with a Mode 2? These Chinese instructions are a bit of a joke in general.

Hello, That sounds correct. On the left stick, there are two functions essentially. 1.) Up or down 2.) Yaw Left or Right. On the right stick there are essentially two funtions as well. 1.) Roll Left/Right. 2.) Pitch For(down)/Aft(Up).That covers all of the Axis of flight. The reason the heli rotates left or right when you move the left stick from side to side represents yaw. In the absence of up/down stick movement, only one set of rotors will spin, this is how the heli carries out yaw control(differential torque). If you move the same stick slowly up, but not side to side, both sets of rotors should spin equally and the heli will begin to take off. The right stick controls Roll(Lean Left/Right) when moved from side to side, and when moved up/down the left stick controls Pitch(Lean forward(down) or backward(Up)). Just as in an airplane, a coordinated input of yaw and roll are used to make a turn. However in an airplane, pitch is used only to go up/down(excluding aerobatics), while in a heli, pitch controls up/down while moving in flight, but while hovering, pitch controls forward/backward movement. It sounds like your manual is in error. Good Luck. -ccpmheli
PS You can hold(carefully) the heli in one hand and introduce stick movements to see if reacts as you expect it to.

The Lama took a dive last night into a muddy field from about 40 ft. Been raining before so it was pretty boggy which broke the fall but I have now got wobble. Took it apart as much I could and think the main outer shaft is slightly bent. Firstly, does anyone know how to get the main shaft off - got the inside one out and all the blades off but the main shaft seemed to be stuck fast? Any advice on how to get it out really appreciated. Also, does anyone have any tips for getting it back to (almost) straight. I know this is a tricky job so any tips welcome.
Thanks in advance!

I'm ordering some spare parts for my Lama v3, but the store I like to buy from carries mainly v4 stuff. I know that most of the parts are interchangable, but one thing I'm not sure about is the swashplate. Ka-Planes carries EK1-0571, but other sites list EK1-0319 for the V3. Are they the same thing with different part #s? Thanks.

Hello spiderhole, Hobby-Lobby should have them, and anything that can fit in a 4"x4" box will ship anywhere for $2.99US.

spiderhole

Yes, but they don't have half of the other stuff I need. Ka-Planes has it all but the swashplate (unless the V4 one will work)

Im new to RC helicopters and saw a great deal on an esky lamy for $79 with 2 lipos and charger from a hk shop. Problem is it is mode 1 and 35mhz, for that price do you think it is worth it, or should I find the proper 72mhz with mode 2?

Hi Ericke1

I know that Xheli.com has a large assortment of coco heli that would be a great buy! Check them out

same here mate i also have a lamav3 and the throttle glitches seem to happen when i do a lot of hover but i have yet to find why. had a look in the tx and all the solders looked fine, same in the 4-in-1. lately the glitches have become more "pronounced" as well in the sense that the drop of the lama is bigger than usual and the "catching time" is longer. i am thinking maybe a motor is on its way out.

take care.
