Love all the helicopters, great you're reviewing them.. There are just 2 questions:1. If I buy a product from lightake.com for example, there's free shipping. I live in Holland. When the product arrives in Holland, do I still have to pay costs for the travel inside Holland?
2. Not by all products stands that they send spare parts, does that really mean you don't get any spare parts or did they just forgot to mention it?
@jaholma I really don't know if they pay any shipping costs that are imposed within another countries borders unless it is included in the initial shipping calculation.
Their weren't any spare parts with this one but it was a prototype, the rotors are very strong and unlikely to break unless you crash hard and don't turn off the power to the rotors.
the manual has a complete list of spare parts but availability depends on how popular the aircraft is.
"the transmitter is mode 4 meaning it's controlled almost exactly like a 3 channel helicopter but their is an extra channel of control on the left stick for left right motion."
*there
So, the right stick controls right/left yaw, and the left stick controls right/left pitch? That's weird, and must be super-confusing to those of us who have experience with hobby-grade 4ch helis in Mode 2. Please keep us updated if you find a change for that!
@theimacman It really is a pain, I'll need the aircraft to turn quickly but my brain's in 4 channel mode so it ends up rolling and the feedback loop in my brain that tells me it should be spinning gets information that doesn't make sense so it really is disorienting.
I'm probably going to need to get a better RC guru involved before I find a good solution.
I have a dx5-e and a few e flight transmitters but I can't get them to connect so they may not be compatible.
its like V-22 Osprey!

does it actually matter how many channels it has? i thought the # of channels was the # of aircraft you can fly at once
TheMokamola 2 months ago
@TheMokamola channel refers to how many things you can control on the aircraft.
the first channel controls up/down
the second channel controls spin left/right
the third channel controls forward reverse motion
the forth channel controls left right motion.
A 2 channel aircraft can only go up down and spin. a 4 channel aircraft is fully functional.
Some 2.4 GHz transmitters can be used to control multiple aircraft, but in the old days they used to switch crystals to change frequency.
