EK012 ESky "Co-Co Lama"

You can fly it because it has two 13-1/2” main rotors that are co-axial and contra-rotating on the single shaft. This torque canceling design makes Co-Co Lama stable and flyable on your very first flight. Even acomplete newcomer to helicopter flying can fly this at once. The helicopter is 14-1/4” long and weighs 7-3/4 oz. Co-Co Lama is complete and ready to fly and includes a 4 channel 72 mHz FM transmitter, a 4-in-one mixer/controller (electronic gyro, mixer, motor controller, receiver), two motors, two servos, 7.4V, 800 mAh Lithium battery and Lithium battery charger. Charge the flight battery, install 8 AA batteries (not included) in the transmitter and fly it.Even though it rarely breaks in crashes, Co-Co Lama comes with a complete spare set of main blades, and we stock spare parts and aluminum upgrade parts. Instruction booklet provides some helpful tips about the basics of radio-controlled helicopter flying.

Co-Co Lama is not a flimsy toy -- it is an extremely well-built and well-designed radio controlled model helicopter. The 72 mHz radio, the motors, and servos are hobby quality products that will provide many hours of service. If you ever wanted to fly a micro electric helicopter but were put off by the difficulty of flying a helicopter, Co-Co Lama is for you.

My stabalizer bar on top keeps coming loose on High rpm flights. If i keep it 1 -2 feet off the ground, its good. I fly 10 - 20 off the ground, it comes loose, and well... u could imagine..... :censored:

Where can I get a manual or something to guide me through changing the CoCo parts with aluminum?

My old V1 Lama seems to be getting tired. It's not keeping altitude for as long as in used to, and the battery is getting warmer during flight. I got a new battery and it was better for a short while, but it's starting to do the same thing.

What should the current draw be?

Can I lube the motor bushings or other parts?

Try in the Multi-rotor forum. All your answers about contra-rotating heli's can be found there.

As I recall, the amp draw for the lama was about 5 amps max at full throttle. If your heli has the 180 can motors the best you can do is to replace them. Brushes and bearing are not replaceable/fixable. They are designed to fail. :)

Bearings may be bad also. Bad bearings induce a higher amp draw. The 4n1 may be going bad. Could be that it is none of the above and the battery charger that came with the heli is not properly charging the battery.

I recently purchased this helicopter, charged the battery, turned on the transmitter, plugged the battery into the heli and everything worked just fine. I got it about a foot or two off the floor of my living room and then turned it off and put it away until the weekend. Now when I turn on the transmitter, the red light keeps blinking and doesn't stop. Isn't it supposed to stop? I tried connecting the battery again anyway but I get no response. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, or if something is broken. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary
