Thanks Ray I looked at a lot of different models and brands until I found similar size and characteristics. The Walkera Lama 400D parts really worked out well. Together with the suprskids It should operate good, I hope.
No when I receive the RX from the vendor I'll actually see how it flies.. Looks good but can't fly, LOL

Nice Mod Ron. I just ordered the extended shaft and the Lama 400 Blades which are slightly longer. I'm out of the brushless motor kit for the E-SKY BIG Lama. Should be getting a new batch on or about 8/10/2009.

Hi Ronp:
I hope you don't mind, but I fixed your first post for the pictures.
Some might be redundant now. I'll leave it to you to do what you like with it.
The second post, I couldn't do much with. I'll leave it to you to delete it or not.
Those are awesome mods to your heli!
Best,
Kent

At this point I didn't opt for the motor. I saw it but being this was my first prototype on the BL I may or may not add it. Thanks for the head's up
