A friend graciously gave me his old Walkera Lama co-axial heli and so I was able to fly again. This is a sequel of sorts to the original "Extreme E-Sky Lama House Tour," but with a different heli. The Walkera lacks the rotational speed of the E-Sky, but makes up for it in stability and motor power. I'm using an old battery and I can tell it has a little more punch to it. There isn't a big difference between the two though; I'd recommend either.

I went with classical music this time around so YouTube hopefully doesn't remove the audio again. Note the dogs watching the heli in flight. You might remember the lighter-colored one from the other video, but she has grown up a bit.

Anyways, enjoy!

  • Could you make a video where you show how to tune your lama. Mine just flies right when I try to adjust it. Also if you have tips for us amateurs ?

  • @traustitj

    I'm guessing you've tried to trim it out? What do you mean by "flies right," like laterally, maintaining heading, OR spinning to the right. They are caused by very different things. Unfortunately I feel like a video won't really help get it flying right because there are so many things that could be going wrong. There are other vids/text descriptions out there about servo length and 4-in-1 controller adjustments.

  • @traustitj

    The following info might help: For a laterally right issue that can't be trimmed out, you'd have to adjust the servo arm length that connects to the swashplate. Carefully pop off the arm off the ball connector of the swashplate, then carefully screw the metal piece in or out depending on which way you need to go (sorta trial and error). For a spinning right issue, you have to mess with the 4-in-1 controller pots. I can't remember the details, but you can find info online.

  • @traustitj

    In terms of tips; get the metal head replacement so you don't have to worry about broken plastic parts when you crash. Practice hovering tail towards you, then moving, then nose-in hovering, and then everything else. To get good, you're going to have to take risks and crash. I crashed a million times before I got to the point where I am today. Cut the throttle if you're fairly sure you're going to crash. It will save your blades and motors.

  • Hey Vega2614 - another cool vid. Poor little Walkera lama with the missing tail piece and skids though!

  • Good to see you back again! ;)
