RE: Someone please explain.......
IMO... the Lama3 is a great starter heli.... To find out if you want to stay in the hobby and to teach you orientation. I wouldn't spend any coin blig'n it out. You won't get the bang for the bucks. Save your money.
If you are going to stay in the hobby, and I'm betting you will, then saving your money will be for a better heli. One that you can learn further on. I actually bought my Lama3 after I bought my King2 to help teach me with the orientation. I love my K2 and sure like my lama.
But this is only my opinion...
happy fly'n
