Hi Karen,

[lamagirl]

thanks...
We went to the model shop again yesterday & saw a lovely Robinsons R22....But the guy said i'd be better off with a cheaper version of the trex,but my partner has the trex 450se he said i can fly.....
I will fly my Lama today.....

Karen....

[Whirly-Girl]

Scale helis sure do look pretty! But I agree, master that Lama that you have and think about what you want to upgrade to next. Start checking out what kind of scale bodies will fit. It might make a nice winter project for you to do one yourself (or with your partner).

I love "winter" projects out here in California...

Okay, I'm ducking the snowball from Leslie right about now. :glasses2:

[leslie]

Very funny Whirly!! We got slammed with another Nor'Easter this weekend past.

Cheers,
Leslie

[Whirly-Girl]

Bummer!

You "need" a business trip out here and get some warm flying in with me!

[lamagirl]

I flew today for the the first time in a few months,due to looking after my mum as she had Lung Cancer & wouldn't go into a hospice.She died on the 27th Feb....She had a go at Christmas at flying my heli bless her....Anyway i done pretty well today with flying better than i expected.......
I was nervouse as i haven't flown for a while but it was so good to be flying again..... :D

Karen....

[Whirly-Girl]

Wow Karen, I'm sorry to hear about your Mother's death. I hope you're family is doing well.

It is good to see you out and doing things like hobbies. Keep at it!

Hey, take a picture of your bird and get it posted!! :hug:

[lamagirl]

Thanks....
I have got pics of me flying & 2 vids but don't no how to get them on the forum though?? they were taken when i first started flying the heli at Christmas time....

[ClayK]

You can add them to the thread just like you added your picture. You can add pictures to your gallery by clicking the "My Gallery" link up top in the site menus. From there, upload your pictures.

[ClayK]

Just asking, but is that picture on that wall to the right, the stone one, a copy of a Mac desktop?

[lamagirl]

Thanks clayk for your help.....

The pic is from IKEA,it's a set of three,it's just pebbles as far as i no......The pics either side of that one are sand,so i wouldn't have thought so for the price we paid for the set......
Why do yuo ask?? :)

Karen.....

[lamagirl]

Hi ladies,
I've just flown & hit the fridge/freezer....
We r waiting to sell it,it's stood in our dinning room in the way of serious learner flying....
I've just done 3 blades in cos of it...bloody thing......

Karen......

[lamagirl]

Up till then i had a good flight..... :D

Karen....

Welcome lamagirl, I was tempted to get a lama myself, but the cost of spares is high here isn't it. So, I bought a Blade CX2 from the States - you can't get 'em here for some reason. Spare rotor blades from America are about 1/4 the price of UK spares (except you gotta pay shipping, but its ok if you get a few sets at once).

I've seen someone modded CX blades to fit the normal blade grip style of mounting, thus saving the cost of expensive blades. Maybe if you show us a photo close up of your Lama's head I could see if the cheaper CX blades could be cut to fit your Lama - if so ordering a few packs of upper and lower main blades form Readyheli could save you a fair sum........

See if you can do a vid of your Lama in flight - if you go to the Blade CX forum you can see my CX2 vid of it whizzing around my front lawn. :D

[lamagirl]

Hi,spare parts in uk for my Lama are pretty cheap...
Blades £5 a set
Battery £15
Landing skids £5.....etc...

Karen.....

[Rick Rotorhead]

Wow! that is good value, my boy has an 'Easycopter', (also a CoAx rotor setup) and the spare blades for that are £12 for the set of four!!!!!!!

[FlyMyAssOff]

Thanks....

I like how father x-mas is checking out your rear end :)

[rbort]

Father Christmas...oh man that is such a British term and so funny! :lolol

-=>Raja.

When I started out on a Blade CX2,,, I wacked the refer 8 or 9 times. Landing on the Bar took a while.. I think the the strangest accident I had was, Rusty My Jack Russell terrier thought he was King Kong,,, Jump about 4 feet,,,,, bit the tail and ran off with it. he came in the room wagging his tail. He must have he saved me a vary large mesquito that was attacking me in the Kitchen..
