I have to say, I really enjoyed this video. I liked watching the flight in a scale fashion. All this 3D stuff is somewhat interesting, but scale flight really looks impressive with this bird. Congratulations.
@trexinvert It does that very nice! I just install the Hellicomand HC3 Extreme and we will be doing as soon as the weather gets better some nice new maneouvers!
That has got to be the smoothest flying rc heli I have ever scene. Love the sound of the turbine. I tried many times to fly rc helis. Sever thousand dollars of repairs later. I can only keep one aloft for about 30 seconds. Then I crash. I have tried electrics and nitro, but I never had the money to try a turbine powered one. 9ft main rotor, no wonder it is so smooth.
The only thing that'ld make this RC bird more realistic to scale, is a 3 bladed rotor head just like on the real Lamas! Other than that, it still looks COOL!
Is this the biggest RC helicopter you've ever flown? How does it compare to a .60 or .90 sized nitro helicopter for control? Also, how much difference was there between this head and the flybarless head? thanks! (looking at the XLV mechanics with the Jet Ranger fuse)
Yes! this is the biggest RC chopper that I have ever flown. It flies like a dream with the 2 blade head as well as the 3 blade head. The filling of flying the heli is a lot more heavier.... the machine is about 49 lbs.... so it doesn't respond like a 3D machine at all.... more like the response of a scale ship and crisp..... you have to anticipate the use of power.... there is pleanty of power. The sounds is awesome and once you have tried it will be very hard to go to a 90 size.
Thanks for the reply. I am looking at buying the Vario XLV with the Bell Jet Ranger fuselage from East Coast Vario. Thanks for reassuring me that it isn't extremely hard compared to a .90 size. I have been looking these varios machines all year!
Hi everyone! im looking for videos and pictures of 1/4 scale cars and buggies. i would love some feedback on channels, videos and 1/4 scale sites to look into..... any other 1/4 remote controle hobbies also wecome.. Please reply on this comment here or on my channel... thankyou and god bless. :)
Very nice Lama scale heli , i read that you updated this one , ill wait to see the completed version , i am into a club off Alouette II and Lama friends , so welcom to the club . you have my 5 . you can see some off ore helis on my site. good luck and till later.heli59
This is an old video but the lama already has a 3 blade system and she is flying even better.... also no holes on the side of the exhaust so now is 100% scale. Once I have a new video I will post it. Thanks!!
I see in another video that it has 3 blades there....

Is there another video of this same aircraft where it has three main rotor blades? Wasn't sure if it's the same heli. Cheers.

Hello Gonzalo,
I am building a Lama like yours. Is it worth to build in the HC3 Extreme ?
