Howdy Boys,
This guy will eventually hurt someone if he keeps this up. I know from experience.
When first learning I put my Syma S031G into my right leg. I had a couple abrasions, that went right thru my jeans and long johns, didn't cut my pants which was strange but cut my calf in one spot, and a couple more abrasions, and about 6 large bruises on the side and back(I kinda turned as it was coming at me, and it hit me on the side and back of my RH calf)
I should have took pictures but I didn't.
This T-day I wanted to take my B450 to the church gym that I was lucky enough to be able fly in, but thought about the the Syma incident and knew I would be distracted by half a dozen people.
I decided it would be too dangerous and took only the 120SR.
In retrospect, I am very happy with that decision, the 120 was even hard to fly with 6 people talking to me.
They are not toys, they are helicopters that can and do hurt people.
Flying them that close to a crowd is totally unacceptable.
Just MHO,
Kyle

Yea Kyle, that guy is totally irresponcable (sp).
Hey guys, little help please. It has been a long time since I did this. Does the rear motor (upper blades) go on top or bottom of the brick on a lama? I can't remember anymore. LOL
Lee

Hahaha, never mind. I got it. Must have done it too many times in the past. I just did it on automatic. LOL

Got er done on auto-pilot did you? GJ lol
Kyle

Yea, well kinda. Motors worked fine. I found another problem tho. Gotta rip it all apart AGAIN. Dang it. This was why I shelved my copters. But, when they fly, they are great. hahaha. Just hate having to take them apart soooo many times to get them right.

A friend here on RCG is sending me the two screws I need to fix it. Thanks buddy. I was gonna have to drill out my outershaft to get it right. Now I will wait to get it. I tell ya, I can get pretty sick of working on these copters. But, I get a great joy when they are working properlly. I have four that sit on the shelf just wishin to be in the air. But, they are not what I enjoy to fly. I would rather relax and enjoy a flight ever now and then, than to always be in pucker mode. haha. Pucker mode is ok every now and then. Just not always what I am looking four. Lee

A person has to love to mechanic to fly helis for sure. The most tempromental things I have ever encountered:
Computers,two stroke engines,helis,women!
Kyle

Haha, try playing a violin!!! Talk about sensitive and tempromental. Hardest instrument I ever tried. Lee

Playing a violin? How hard can it be? You just blow into the hole, right?

haha, that is a recorder. Like a flute, or a windpipe. A violin has four streengs. A fiddle has four stranngs. Get it? hahaha

If I could offer you guys CF inner and outer shafts for the lama v3, v4, cx, 2, and 3, would any of you be interested in buying them? Just wanderin if there is a market for them. Lee

NO no Silly Bird, you hit them with those wooden sticks! It is one of those preeeecussion instrumeeeents!
Kyle

Well, then I just hope you dont forget to plug it in, before you try to play it

Trying to find how to replace the mast with the xtreme extended upgrade, any help available appreciated.
Also, the top rotor doesn't turn, not an issue with the motor - it turns if I pull the mast out a half inch...
thanks

An ukelele has four strings, does that mean you can fiddle it with a drumstick?

Just stringing you up Lee.
