The Esky Lama V4 is an entry level 4 channel electric RC helicopter, that is an excellent introduction to rc helis. It offers four channel control, so it can hover, climb, descend, go forwards and reverse, and fly sideways. The Esky Lama is primarily designed to be flown indoors, but it can also fly outdoors if there is no wind. Be sure to choose a large flight area free of obstacles if you are learning how to fly.
Coaxial RC Helicopter Design Provides Stability
The Esky Lama electric rc helicopter features a coaxial design with two sets of rotors mounted on the same axial. This coaxial design provides additional stability, eliminates the need for a tail rotor, and also produces a great amount of lift. Read more about coaxial RC helicopters.
The Esky Lama’s Cyclic Pitch Aids Control
The Esky lama features cyclic pitch. This means that the Esky lama can alter the pitch of its rotor blades, and redirect the airflow from them. Cyclic pitch allows the helicopter to move in almost any direction, and is a feature found in most rc helicopters. Cyclic pitch works by using a device called a swashplate to change the orientation of the rotor disk. The swashplate is controlled by two servos, one controls the pitch, and the other controls the bank. Cyclic pitch allows the helicopter to be controlled with great precision, because it allows full four channel control. This means that the Esky Lama can use all four degrees of freedom: pitch, bank, yaw, and throttle. Learn how cyclic pitch works
The Esky Lama’s Gyroscope Stabilizes Yaw
The Esky lama includes a built in gyroscope. A gyroscope is a device which maintains its orientation in space. The Esky Lama uses a gyroscope mounted in the nose to prevent any unwanted tail movement caused by the torque of the rotors. The gyro on the Esky Lama is adjustable, so the sensitivity of the yaw control can be changed. This is an important feature, because it allows the rate at which the helicopter turns to be adjusted, based on pilot preferences. Read More about RC Helicopter Gyroscopes
Learn To Fly With The Simulator
The Esky Lama V4 includes a four channel transmitter, and a USB interface to a computer. This is great for learning how to fly, because you can practice on the computer without risking your actual model. The transmitter works flawlessly with the (free to download) Flying Model Simulator.
