Pixs Of My New Colco Lama-5

[DWJL511]

Hi Y'all

Just got my new Lama 5 last nite. Here are some pixs.

Comments:
1. Found a loose screw sticking out!? Managed to get it out but hope it's not from somewhere!
2. Although it says "Lama-5" on box and receiver, side metal plate (with logo) still says "Lama IV 2006".
3. Got a Mode 1 tx! Was hoping for a Mode 2.
4. Comes in 3 colors -- red, yellow, blue (canopy lining color).
5. Transmitter does not have any brand, although box tx pix says "Colco"
6. One 1,000MAH, 7.4V lipo batt.
7. One set of spare blades.
8. Pamphlet that talks about new features (all Greek to me)
9. Paid S$155 (eBay Singapore)

Now to learn how to fly

last lot of pixs. (Since there are so few pixs of this heli, I thot I'd post more.)

Any advice/comments welcomed as I'm totally new to all this!

Find a large but enclosed space to learn in cos such multi rotor helis are very affected by windy conditions. But once you get the hang of it, it's pretty fun to zip around with it at home.

No shipping as in I got it from a local eBay seller. As far as I know, it's just cash on delivery -- no delivery charges.


BTW: anyone knows how this Eagle Explorer compares?
Looks v nice to me:

Yes, slipped my mine.

Understand there's this ongoing debate on mode1 vs mode2. So which mode is the preferred mode for heli flyers here in Spore?

This may be your answer, some of them have switch mode oh.
Mode 1 or 2
