thanx for clearing that up for me, i saw the ol;d no 5 and saw the no 10 and came to the conclusion that mine looked closer to the 10 then the 5 version but now ive seen your photo on the left (the box is the same as mine) and now im sure i have the new version no 5...
ive emailed ehirobo and luckily as the Chinese new year is being celebrated it wont be processed till tomorrow earliest !
ps,,,have you ever had trouble with the rx,mixer unit with wakera no 5 helis ?

Status: offline 		hi jez33,
your message still makes me sweat about the 'actual" model no. you've got!
DON'T just go by the box!! since different distributers have different boxes for the products!!!

**1. Can you post a picture of your heli for me to take a look? OR
2. look into the spare parts page, tell me the item# (eg. hm005 or hm010...)
3. measure the spreaded main blade diameter, should be 13.5 inches for the no.5,
and 18 inches for the no.10 AND as what I've pointed out, the no. 10 one has a dummy
turbo exhaust thing on the back!!

**I posted 2 boxes here, the deep blue one is for NO. 10 & the green one (Last pict)
is for NO.5

PLEASE CHECK IT OUT BEFORE THE SHIPPING GETS STARTED!!!!!

good lucy.

that fast but it happens frequently from a low-end manufacture.

Status: offline 		hi there,

I would like to say sorry for introducing a hobby shop - ehirobo.com to you guys,
since I've found a major communication problem with those guys!!

1. they don't speak English at all (they're in Singapore), all email are misunderstanding,
eg. I ordered 6 parts 3 weeks aga, but 2 items were on back-order, then they shipped out whatever in stock first.
A week later, I ordered some more parts again as a 2nd separated order, we both agreed that they would ship out my 2nd order together with the 2 back ordered items of the first order in the 2nd shippment once everything were available..
But a email from them today saying that "You should combine the order if you want us to ship all parts together!!
WHAT A HECK!!

2. snail shipping to the wrong place, I live in Toronto, Canada, they sent to Vancouver, Canada,
still don't know where the parcel is now!!

hi micropotato
ive found myself that their english is a little basic i supose as they have asked me to simplify my questions.but theyve often been helpful in the reply given back..i still havnt ordered from them just yet so havent experience their post/shipping system yet ! i did a bit of searching on usa ebay tho and i think i can get the parts im after for my no5 v3 lama..
would you bolieve it tho i have another more basic lama no 5, 27mhz (think its from walkera,if not its a chinees copy) and i put the battery on the wrong way again with a battery that has a dodgy conector. as with my walkera no 5, v3 its blown up the ecu board. troble is i dont think i can get the board for a 27mhz machin...

Status: offline 		hi walera 10 team..

I have been flying walker 10 for about 3 months.. no major mishaps.. yet.. but my battery which is stock 2 cell lipo seems to be dying in 5 mins or so.. or max 7 mins.. i was wondering has anyone tried 3 cell lipo 11.1 volt because I know those motors 370 series are a hog when it comes to sucking up the juice.. has anyone seen any posting regarding 3 cell for #10 any feed back would be helpful..

thanks guys..

Status: offline 		Hey! I've gone through 3 shafts since I first bought my Dragonfly. My wife was getting pissed at me, so I went on ebay last night and found an outer shaft for only $10.99! Im a little skeptical because this person also sells clothes and ebooks, but the price is right! So I bought one. When it comes I'll post again and let you guys know if its worth a crap.

Heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6036465288&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT


Do not delve in the affairs of Dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Status: offline 		pompedo,

I went to their link.. the part seems to be fine.. and it should work fine.. but the weirdest thing with that seller. is that this is the only part they sell.. man.. you are good in finding parts for #10.

let us know how goes it.

I bought my shaft from that same link on ebay when they had it up for $11.50 last week. I was also skeptical when I saw it. He was selling blades as well at the time though. I got them in like 3 days. I know I might be seeing things but, that shaft they sent seems to make my #10 fly smoother and more stable. I was planning on buying 1 or 2 more just to keep in stock. At $10.99 I dont see a reason not to.

Status: offline 		can somebody answer my question,
I bought a receiver PC board for my walkera#10,
it's a 72M one & marked with # 72.79M on a crystal inserted into that board,
but my exsiting crystals come with the heli (bought from other shop)
is 72.87M, so I don't know if the board will work with my existing 72.87M crystals
or even I replace the 72.79M crystal (on the board) with my 72.87M one to match another
72.87M crystal inserted to my transmitter???
