OK, I guess I'm going to flaunt my ignorance - once again.
I'm having a ball with my new LAMA V-3 (great flights) but noticed it dropped a foot now-and-then. I think the transmitter's antenna may have been pointed at my helicopter. Is there a, 'dead spot,' on the antenne i.e. if it's pointed at the helicopter?
Can the transmitter's antenna be modified for better signal transmision? I also have to wonder about the helicopter's antenna - and made some dumb posts about this. It came with a good length of antenna wire, is this because you NEED that length?
Are there any radio experts out there who could suggest the best way to cut the wire - and join it to a rod-type antenna? Or not; what is the best way to handle this antenna? I've wound it around a toothpick and stuffed it (minus toothpick) inside a plastic tube, is there an advantage to winding your antenna in a (sort-of) coil?
So:
1. Can you improve on your transmitter's standard antenna?
2. What's the best way to get the best reception with my helicopter's antenna?
I've read about flybars coming off and one guy said it happened in flight. My guess is that he was pulling some tough moves and the blades collided. But this seems to be an issue - or is it? I see all the aluminum up-grade parts and I've had a good look at my V-3 but can't really see how the mast and all the fiddly bits disassemble. If I can figure it out I'd like to do it as, for one thing, the flybar does seem to be vulnarable to coming adrift.
The 4in1 can cook if you have a power-on crash, but I have read that you can put a fuse in the wiring between each motor and your 4 in 1, would like to hear about this. Has anyone done this?
This is a lot and perhaps I should have made seperate posts, but I'm learning.
Have a great day guys.
