Ok Peter, I got the Big Lama today and had just enough daylight when my fiance got home to get a flight in outdoors. I only took it up 50 feet or so over the cemetery, first day jitters. I'll get it up over 100 feet like I did with the Dauphin before long.
Video by Diane... I think she did a good job!

Hey again Bob,
Brilliant! I wish I had days of NO wind like that also, but I'm near Sydney, Australia (it is less than 50km to the beach) - and those coastal winds are ALWAYS blowing making controlling Big Obama (what I call him) a bit tricky sometimes................
Are you running the original Esky 800mAh battery? There is an Xtreme 850mAh one available [link=http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=80_204_212& products_id=2794]here[/link] or email Michael at USHobbySupply
Are those original blades also? I got mine from rc711 - they are just the same as what you are running - but after a couple of weeks my blades were shredded. If you fly at that site all the time your blades will l-a-s-t a very long time!
Peter
P.S. Did you edit much of that video or just post it on youtube?
P.P.S. It is a bit difficult to get Esky parts and Xtreme batteries at the moment - just be patient for another week.
