'Lama V4' blades move with throttle at minimum

[userrc]

Hello,
It has happened 3 times now, that when I try to straighten blades (with battery connected to heli and both throttle & throttle trim at minimum position), the blades started to move.
Last time it happened, both heli & transmitter were stationary on ground and I was not touching either. Blades quickly moved & stopped.

What is the problem ?
Is this a safety hazard ?

Thank You.

Yes mate it can be a safety hazard You just have to be aware of it.
My little Twister CPV2 used to do it & It's just interference of some sort. The 4-in-1 receiver can be a sensitive little bugger!
Minimize the risk by not having a mobile phone etc in your pocket & clothing that can generate static. Although I wouldn't recommend flying naked

also putting the tx too close to the heli dosn;t help!!

Thanks.
But is this a common occurance on 'Lama V4' ?
I'm concerned about heli taking off and posing health risk.

As I mostly fly indoors, transmitter is close to heli. Tx has new batteries.
Please tell why transmitter should not be close to heli ? Minimum distance ?

dont read it to litraly mate! i mean as your setting up dont put the tx right next to the heli 2' if you need a rough guide!!

I have found the same thing with my Lama V3. The blades never spin long enough to pose a risk of it taking off, but it is always worth being careful. Once the battery has been connected you should always assume that the blades could start spinning at any time. So, pick up your helicopter by the base and disconnect the battery before making any adjustments or refitting the stabilizer bar.
