[Adityav95]

Nice!

[klaudetka]

głupi film nawet nie pokazał jak lata

[janocik29]

cienko nagrane ale morze być

[roberthipp3]

Very helpful, I own this bird also, thanks!

[KillerKabel]

Very good video.

You could have included the maiden voyage video in this video though.

[Mattsplat1975]

Very well made. I was thinking of buying this heli and you gave a me a really great idea of what I would be getting. I am very impressed not just by your video but by your obvious knowledge on the subject. Thank you very much for making the video. This was very helpful.

@Mattsplat1975 ВАУ

[MacQ2309]

well done!

-you didnt record video with calculator, thats good

-you put camera on tripod. i hate handshaking and unboxings with one hand...

5/5

[geyser463]

this is not a review. its more of an unboxing

[joeycool12]

@geyser463 you got a point

[SvenOkonomi]

I got to say, thats one of the nicer reviews ive seen here on youtube. Considder doing this for a lil on the side. Offer it to some RC producers and see if you can get some samples if you show this as a example of how you review. Most of em love a bit of PR.

[madpuri]

Intelligent kid! well done boy! one of the nicest videos i have ever seen on utube!!!

[ful77]

how much??

[TommyStokke]

Nice work "Finless boy" cool vid !

[coolkylling]

how did you get the canopy off?

[UKrocketeer]

there are two carbon rods with rubber tubing on them that you pull off to take the canopy off

[0oDenniso0]

maybe you can help me? im a beginner, and my heli spins to counter closkwise...

i tried adjusting on the transmitter, no good...

then i took the body off to adjust the "gain" and "proportional" i maxed them both clockwise still spins around... HELP =(

[UKrocketeer]

try checking if both motors are spinning at the same speed, change the potentiometers, gain controls the gyro sensitivity

[0oDenniso0]

potentiometers, gyro sensitivity??? well the gain screw is maxed clockwise, also is the proportional screw...

[UKrocketeer]

read the manual, that is very helpful sometimes. but it doesnt help that it is in engrish

[UKrocketeer]

yes, this is the point of this design of helicopter, i learned to fly on this helicopter

[zhotdune]

Hi aurora2k..Well what do you know, I give it a go after FMS training..ha..ha..ha..Although­ I can fly it well in FMS but not the real thing. Probably it is me at fault (having cold feet and less patience) not the helicopter, It's keep moving forward and back and very hard to keep it to hover. Really hard. For me I'm not lucky enough in less 20 minutes, I damage all the blades, body and undercarriage. Probably

model helicopter is not for me, I'll try model EP plane next.

[speedstakerguy]

what is the canopy made of?

[UKrocketeer]

it is made of thin plastic, it breaks easily if you are not careful, so it helps to have spares on hand, or just make a tail boom so you don't need to replace the tail canopy, plus it looks cooler and saves you from getting the tail canopy

[speedstakerguy]

K thanks. im guna try to look for a tail boom and canopy upgrade on ebay if i get this heli..

[UKrocketeer]

the only thing close to an upgrade you will find is another canopy, there are no canopy upgrades unless you find a different stronger canopy that will fit

[speedstakerguy]

i found a few Lama v4 extreme upgrades with tail boom and a different canopy for it on ebay

[speedstakerguy]

hmm nvm i cant find it now lol

[reaz09]

hi, i am a beginner and i am now flying with a 2ch picooz, and i want to buy a lama v4(it have 4 ch= means better control) but what is that kirstal thing for?

and the LED voltage indicator is that for the transmitter or the heli?

1 more question xD does it also have a voltage indicator for the heli?(i dont want the heli crashing hard)

[UKrocketeer]

the crystal is for the frequency the helicopter operates on, the voltage meter is for the Transmitter and there isn't one for the heli, you will know when the battery is low, the helicopter starts to take more throttle to make it go up and eventually will not fly and you can hear the motors slowing down.

[TohWeL]

want this heli!

[zhotdune]

Hi !, I got mine for about a couple of week now. But I haven't dare to give it a try, I still learning

the FMS simulator and get feel how it supposed to b controlled, is this do any good?

[UKrocketeer]

FMS helps with learning the controls, how to takeoff and land, aerobatics etc. Yes FMS is definitely good for traing and having fun

[UKrocketeer]

look on google for xtreme blades they are a life saver

[rckid99]

Dude we just want you to fly it! we dont care that you can reuse the box. plus you should have goten the silver like me

[king2fan]

hi, you helped me decide to get this heli after seeing your review.cant wait to get it in the mail.

[995423998]

I got one,thats nice.but er..i have no experience , so the heli break on the ground

[Flap1987]

very nice

[vvyrda]

I do believe I heard you say that the reason that it's so stable is because the counter-rotating blades counteract the torque. ( 4:15 )

Torque?... wow

Don't post reviews unless you actually know what you're talking about.

[TheAlmightyTyrone]

where do i get the Xtreme blades and the upgraded head from?

[UKrocketeer]

if you go on RcGroups in the multirotor helicopter section there is a thread with all the upgrades that you can possibly imagine

[TheAlmightyTyrone]

is it good for flying indoors and outdoors??? i am planning on flying it in both but i want it to be able to maneuver inside well.. and is it built sturdy for example if i run it into my wall will it break?

[UKrocketeer]

if you get Xtreme blades and an upgraded head you will be fine it is meant for indoor flying check out my flying video

[TheAlmightyTyrone]

is it good for flying indoors and outdoors??? i am planning on flying it in both but i want it to be able to maneuver inside well.. and is it built sturdy for example if i run it into my wall will it break?

[macgyver112]

pretty expencive.If u buy this from DX this cost $104 with ems..so it's free shipping

[rolgarcia1]

hey does the transmitter really tell you how much battery has the heli left or is it just lights turned on

[UKrocketeer]

it is the battery for the transmitter

[macgyver112]

No,u can only see how much power u got left on the transmitter,so u can't see how much battery u got left on the helicopter.

[RCdude13]

hvere did you got it from? can you please write the website to me

[0oDenniso0]

what do you mean? im pretty new at flying heli's...

[crossmotto]

how much is it and where did you get it

[UKrocketeer]

listen to the video in the beginning of the video

[0oDenniso0]

hi i need help!!! my heli works fine except for this... it tilts to the right every time i wanna fly! i maxed the elevators but it still tilts... (not spining, tilting)

[UKrocketeer]

like it hovers but the helicopter hangs to the right?

[poolattendant]

red led indicates low transmitter baterrie :)

[rolpie]

um u guys, my helicopter's 4ch transmitter's LED voltage indicator is always red, does that mean the batteries in the actual transitter are low or the helicopters bateries are low? and also the batteries are perfectly fine, i tested them out on my 360 and it says theyre full. Sometimes my helicopter works then it just stops, sometimes it randomly spins really fast. This isn't for beginners, this is bullshit, it didnt even come with a warranty.

[roflcopter105]

yeah esky are not very reliable

[qwwqqe]

i have a question..

that transmitter, does it have a port or some sort of connection so i can connect it to my computer and use it to play the flight sim?

[UKrocketeer]

yes you there are loads of them on ebay the cheapest i saw one was 4 dollars and 4 dollars for shipping but they are all from honk kong so i don't know about shipping time

[qwwqqe]

alright cool! coz i have flight sim on my computer, i wanna start learning how to fly a non-coax heli. well $4 and $4 shiping, they might as well load up the box with anthrax!

LMAO

[UKrocketeer]

LOLZ, good luck on learning on a non coax heli! i need to fly more if i want to get summin like the blade 400, better start practicing and saving my money!

[cfreire31]

Hello!

Helps me please. Is the tail of my Llama V4 always going round of the left for the right wing, as I must do stabilizing on air?

[UKrocketeer]

have you read the instructions for trimming the lama so it doesn't spin? that will help you you can use the trim knob on the transmitter and if that doesn't work you will have to adjust the potentiometer inside the helicopter

[RCSuperPowers]

Wow, you really know your stuff! Great review, very helpful. - Dave

[UKrocketeer]

Thanks, you have really good videos too they are just awesome.

[0oDenniso0]

i got my lama v4 today, but i never flied succesfull yet. its bacause when i try to take off it tilts to the right. not spinning. it tilts. so how do i got it away?

[UKrocketeer]

i would try trimming it with the trim knobs on the transmitter and if that does not work read the instructions again and take the canopy off and check that the swashplate is level in all directions and change the length of the pushrods if necessary i would also check the servos because i had a similar problem on mine and the servo was broken, good luck!

[mxf7010g8k]

i was wondering what is the crystal?

[UKrocketeer]

you mean what frequency?

the crystal is the determines what frequency the radio operates on, different crystals have different frequencies.

[mxf7010g8k]

o thanks im thinking of getting one of these are they really easy to fly?

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

ur like a nightflyyer wanna be right?

[UKrocketeer]

kinda but not exactly his videos are awesome though

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

i was just joking around, but yes his videos really are awsome

[alikill]

Lama V4 rocks!

[snifferfox]

i got one of eBay and it just started to fly on its one or should that be crash and i dont know why it did it.:(

[ManitoN]

I couldn't see FMS simulator in the box ? And USB cable to connect pc to transmitter ?

[UKrocketeer]

for the FMS flight simulator?

if you bought the controller you the antenna is replaced with a USB connector, and you download FMS for free online search FMS In google and it will be there

[fishypaw]

IMO FMS sucks. get Aerofly or RealFlight 3.5. with RealFlight you can download a Lama free from the swap pages.

[RacerLamboMurcie18]

agreed! aerofly is the best

[bbjsw10]

Good review. I have the CX2 you should love it alot of fun. Just be ready to become addicted.

[UKrocketeer]

thanx, i was originally going to get the Blade cx2 but it was too expensive for my budget so i bought this a nice alternative, just as good with out the 2.4 ghz

[bbjsw10]

Yeah pretty much the same thing alot of the parts will interchange. I got the CX2 because I fly in different areas and didn't want interference. Your Review reminds me of Nightflyyer's reviews.

[UKrocketeer]

thanx alot, this is one sweet helicopter!

[yourworstnightmare51]

Hey, Cupcake! You'll have to show me that soon! Eh... can't come to school on Wednesday actually, srry... *grrrr*

[14cyproit14]

very nice review, i enjoyed it :D that helicopter looks very nice, glad you chose the blue :D and hope you get great fun flying it, all i no is the twin duel rotors are very good for stability, im sure that heli will be very stable, and good price for it, ive seen that for £120, which is over $200, u are lucky :)

[UKrocketeer]

if it is that much in england, i don't want to know how much the E-flite Blade Cx2 is!

[14cyproit14]

its £124.99 lol

[fishypaw]

got my Lama V4 for £52 ($104) 2 weeks ago from Hong Kong, only took 5 days delivery to the UK too. :OP

[14cyproit14]

wow lol, ima gna save and get :D hehe thanks for tellin me :D

[UKrocketeer]

sweet deal very close to mine it was $100.07

[UKrocketeer]

that is about $210 dollars then it is $190 stock here!

[fishypaw]

Very good but what are you wearing on your head, is that you flight helmet, Biggles? ;O)

As the other guys said, great heli. let's see you flying it now. :O)

[UKrocketeer]

it is a kind of beanie with pieces over the ears and with tassles, great for the winter time. flight video might come this weekend.

[fishypaw]

cool, i look forward to it. don't mind my hat comment btw, i like it. if you wore goggles with it, it would look like an old WW1 pilot hat though. ;O)

[UKrocketeer]

lolz i have been looking for those goggles everywhere and i can't find them they are so cool!

[fishypaw]

search for pilot goggles on ebay, they have them their. i am tempted to get some to wear when i'm out on my motorbike. BO)

[UKrocketeer]

lolz you should do that with a silk scarf that's what my dad did when he had a motorbike!

[fishypaw]

... and shout 'chalks away Ginger' every time you drive away, lol. ;O)

on a slightly more serious note, it's not a good idea to have a loose flowing scarf on a motor bike, if the worst thing happens you don't want a scarf to get wrapped around the wheels etc. A famous actress died in a similar way when her scarf got caught in the wheels of her old style Bugatti. :O(

[NightFlyyer]

Fantastic Job. I cant wait to see you fly it. Is that an Acromaster airplane in the background? That is nice too. 5 Stars.

[UKrocketeer]

actually that is my fathers pirate Extra 260 with a supertigre 3000 in the front!

[dre200182]

you are a very patient person. when i got my lv4 i ripped the box open n was up up and away.great heli tho aint it.hope to see you in the air soon

[UKrocketeer]

i messed up the first time i was unboxing it i didn't get far into unboxing it when i messed the video up so i effectively unboxed it twice!
