Default RE: BIG LAMA

Sorry to be a pain, but I have no idea what a Sig Seniorita is? Do you have a pic?
I've only been into helicopters for three years now - started with a Walkera #36 - upgraded it to brushless & separates - could just fly it - totalled it trying inverted one day starting at 60' - there is a pile of twisted plastic in the back of a cupboard somewhere! Decided to downgrade to a Walkera #4 (and another just for parts) and learned to fly.................... Wow, what a buzz it is when you finally "get it". Got into x-rotors over 1 year ago 'cause one of the guys at work had a go at my DF#4 and asked if there was anything easier to fly - and it just snowballed from there! 8 guys at work now have a x-rotor. Ev'rything from a Lama3 to Dauphins, heaps of Lama4s (both colours), an airwolf, and a AH-64 Feral Beast. Mostly 4-channel (one guy went for a 3 channel "toy"). Mostly Esky. I put up a large parts box that people just help themselves to after crashing their heli - AUD$5 for most parts aint bad I say. I get helis that have frustrated the previous owner and strip them for parts - or buy in bulk from HongKong - or go on ebay & bid cheaply midweek - as you guessed, I'm not in this for the money![sm=shades_smile.gif]
But I digress...Has the weather improved enough to fly your BOL (Big Outdoor Lama) again yet? [BL used to mean Brushless]
Also do you think that these [link=http://www.walkera-parts.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1992]Walkera 53 blades[/link] fit the BOL or are they the size of Dauphin/Lama/CX/Robin etc ???? DON'T KNOW FOR SURE! Have never seen them in person.
