This could well be the bargain of the century if we can acquire one shorty. Priced at just £23.95 and being 18.3" long it looks extremely good value.
Are initial assessment is this could be heavily based on the expensive E-Sky Lama V4 retail of around £90 plus. We hope to buy one then test it at a local R/C model group against the E-sky model. Then fit the upgraded motors by Extreme to boost the performance to greater than the E-sky. Our estimated cost of Helicopter + modifications will be less than £40.
Also note we use the E-sky Lama Extreme upgrade motors to upgrade other helicopters such as our Double Horse 9100 with incredible results. The Motors cost less than £10 each.
Update: The Helicopter has arrived and is now under going tests. The initial thought is this is a very good helicopter. Build quality is excellent and performance as expected.
We have finished testing and have given it a 9/10 for price and performance. The lift is very good and we have added some extra wing onto the tail blade which has given it a great burst of speed.
ReplyDeleteOne problem we encountered was a break in a main blade. Replacement blades of the same specification are impossible to find. At first I feared it was a write of however I have now been able to locate and purchase blades that will work with it. They are slightly smaller but the motors run faster with them matching the performance.
If you have this helicopter and need blades please email me and I will happily supply you extra's for a reasonable price.
Our modified versions will also be available to sell shorty, again email for enquiries.
