scantheman,
I am considering the lama too, but for an extra £50 you can get the blade and I can get the parts from my local model shop.
I think I will go with the lama but will sleep on it.

I was thinking the same except you said it and i thought it

scantheman,
I have just purchased the lama v4 from here
I used this seller the other day to buy my belt cp and it was delivered within the week.
Regards.

Hey you got that cheap , only thing is,did u check it was a UK charger, and i noticed on some american models they have the throttle on the other side of the controller, not sure if it matters, unless you get too used to it and need to re learn when you move onto a bigger helo.

GJ thou, i love that little helo, im sure you will too.

[cambs flyer]

The Lama will be cheaper to learn on with the rota bulk packs you can purchase off e-bay.

There won't be any flying change between the BCX2 or the Lama 4. only the way they communicate between the TX and 4 in 1.

I love my CX2 but in hindsight I may have gone for the Lama what with the blade cost and all, but after weeks of flying practice you don't hardly have any blade strikes and £115 is still cheap, but the spare blades aren't.

Either way you can't go wrong mate if you want to save a few quid, and buy plenty of spare rotas, a few spare shafts and still be under budget for what the BCX2 comes complete buy the Lama 4 and enjoy happy cheap "while you learn" flying.

As said before if the bug grips you, you'll wanna move up to something bigger in a few months, but if you do your next purchase needs to be the Phoenix flight sim.

GHod,

You have a good point there, I have emailed the seller for info, I hope not or it will be going back
Regards.

[scantheman]

The esky lama looks good and has a great price tag....but i have also noticed the honey bee king 2 but this has a 6 channel radio....would this be difficult to learn on??

Why is there so many different ones to choose from

Ghod,
I received an email from the seller advising me that it the transmitter is mode 2, which is good news.
scantheman,
Let me know when you receive the heli and what you think of it and I will do the same.

I hope I am allowed on this forum to advertise my blog.
