E-SKY BIG Lama 4-channel Co-axial ...

[rtfheli]

4 out of 5



This 4-channel co-axial electric heli addresses E-Sky's answer to a large size co-axial which effectively competes with the Exceed Blazing Star and the Walkera HM 53, HM 53#1, and HM 53#8

Pros:
1. One of the bigger co-axials under its class which can be flown outdoors under 5-10MPH wind conditions
2. Plenty of room to upgrade this to a twin brushless motor system
3. Can be upgraded to a better landing gear and standard size battery tray
4. Can be modified for a tail boom and separate canopy.
5. R/C LED Lights and Flycam2 can be added on
6. Blades are interchangeable with the Exceed Blazing Star/Walkera HM53, HM 53#1, and HM53 #8.


Cons:
1. The two 370 carbon brushed motors have thermal fuses on them. During flight as the motors heat up, thermal shutdown can occur and the heli wil spin out of control in Mid-air causing a possible crash.
2. The heli uses a thin non -standard 11.1v LIPO. This can be remedied using the Super Skids 400 landing gear system and battery tray.
3. The canopy is integrated with the whole heli. Once you get into a crash, you need to replace the whole thing at about $13-$16. This integrated canopy is also almost always sold out. Get the separated tail boom and canopy mod.

Dear rtfheli,
How did you set up the brushless system?
How do you modify for separate canopy and boom?
Thanks,

Vince,

You can get the twin brushless kit at www.rtf-heli.com -- Look under the E-SKY BIG Lama Menu for both mods.
