RE: BIG LAMA
pgroom... tips??? besides practice... ummm... more practice I suppose... lol...
What kind of footage are you trying to get... In the end I think, correct me if I'm wrong, you want to be able to get a pilots eye view when ur fly'n... yes\no?? If yes then it comes down to sort of imagining you are in the cockpit of the heli... orientation visualization... phew!! say that a few times fast... Fly'n the heli comes almost second nature after you've trained your head and thumbs to do the right thing... the downside of the Lama is that it only really teaches you orientation at best... if you want to switch over to a larger heli later then you'll have to relearn the stick movements because the co-ax doesn't fly the same as the cp or fp's...
but... having said that not everyone wants to learn to fly to the same level as everyone else... for example I prefer scale fly'n over 3D... so I understand where you are coming from...
happy fly'n
