Status: offline 		Hi all,

I just bought this heli.
It's really good, much better than walkera 5.
It's more stable, fast, quick response and reseaonable price.

But i don't have walkera 10, so, can't compare with it.

Now, i use it very carefully, because I can't find any website sell spare parts. ~_~

Anyone can help? i really afriad it crash.....

Status: offline 		Yes, i bought this heli from ehirobo.
Also, i asked them for the parts, they told me that the parts may be available after 1-2 weeks.
So, i can't crash it in this period ^_^ .

Seems they are the first one selling this heli. Also, no one sell parts until now.

Status: offline 		Hi squadri1126,

My heli is Walkera 53 from eHIROBO.
you can check it with the following link:
http://www.ehirobo.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=82_90&products_id=3780

They said this is improved version of Walkera 10 (which is very old model, and i don't have it).


Just visit the website you provided, they don't have it and i don't think they will provide walkera 53 parts too.

Status: offline 		buacc,

looks nice.. different body material and design. Looks more durable-

the motors are the same- and the electronics are the same..at least from the description

rotors design has been changed, probably to make the flight more stable.

power supply same..

If only i could see a video of this one flying.. that would be great.. do u konw of any where it is posted.

thanks and enjoy your new bird.... I believe most of the parts you would be able to use from walkera 10 lets wait and see when they start carrying the parts..

thanks,

squadri.

Status: offline 		pklein50,

glad that you got your heli... and it is already flying out of the box.. good deal.

Yes, the wall charger that comes with the stock sucks.... the first thing i did was to get a new charger and a thunderpower 1300 lipo. Which i am still using- The stock battery is actually good but the charger just doesn't do justice to it. I still use my stock on my other heli.

I would suggest just to get a decent lipo wall charger and you will see the difference in flight time and battery performance.

I use thunder power TP425 - but you can get cheaper charger with slow charge rate of 500-700mah that would do just fine but it would just take longer time. Read a lot on LIPOS if you haven't read on it already. Never drain out completely... you will damage the cells and it might catch fire.. read a lot..

About parts have no idea where to get parts for you upgraded heli.

Enjoy... squadri.

Status: offline 		thx for all the info .. will definatly do some research on lipo batt and charger.. i figured there had to be something more resonable than a cyclic charger costing hundreds of $$$. i am new at this and would like to enjoy without going to the poor house too rapidly.. pat

Status: offline 		Hi, I just finish to fill my order to get the #10... Im really pleased to be in the oportunity to read all the post refered to the Walkera #10 here, i was betwen the chose of HorseFly or the Walkera #10... I can deny the fact that i read a lot in many forums about the HorseFly too, but it looks like here almost all the posts are to say how good the #10 fly and how to improve the fly, versus the posts about the Horsefly that have a lot of technical cuestions to solve some problems (plus good reviews about the Heli too ).

Well finaly the price, and good information provide here help to the Walkera, i have a Walkera 22D, but im really new in this (firs heli) and is really hard for me to try to fly my 22D, thats other of the reason why i chose Walkera, after many "accidents" with my heli nothing bad happend , not even a blade broke... just some parts get off but some time and care and its working great and ready to get in the wall again!

I hoppe with this one that is focused to the new incomers in the RC helis i get the practice to fly my 22D

See you here as soon i get my new TOY (as my wife use to call my Heli).

Status: offline 		I think I read some were a link to some web with Lipo batteries and good chargers... from were you get yours?

I have to replace the charger that comes with my 22D and really catch the experience about the fact to its a good idea to use a better charger instead of the stock one (performance and quality) so i will apreciate to get a good recomendation on chargers.

Thanks

FUS

I use thunderpower tp425 here is the link..
http://www.allerc.com/product_info.php?products_id=1411
and astro 12v power supply.. it is more than i need but this astro is good to provide power supply to two chargers at a time.. i use this to charge my TREX-SE and Blade-CP.

you can search for good price.. or seach something different like Celectra 1-3C charger they are both good..

take care and happy flying..

squadri.
