Default LAMA V3 (I Don't Get It)

Okay, now I know before you first fly your Esky Lama V3 you have to fix the Gain a bit. I did that, the problem that I don't get is that while flying the heli is going straight but then after a couple of minutes later, the heli start it's right turns again. If I move the trim it don't help. If I hold the stick to the right a bit, I can control it.


Bottom line is, what else do I have to do to it. I don't wanna keep messing around with the gain all the time.
Just want for it to fly straight

hrm, that's kind of a hard one. That happens because of the volt drop in the battery and the motors are going to work at different efficienies at different rpms as well as the main rotor blades because of the wash from the top blade to the bottom blade. you want to tune it so that at the start you are towards the left side of the rudder trim (usually 25% or les), and by the end of the flight you should be on the right side, 25% or less. If not then you might need to look at the health of your battery (200 cycles max if you take care of it properly), your motors (good for 10 to 20 hours if you get a good one, if not they can fail in as little as 3 or 4 flights), the heli's lube condition, and a few things like that.

good luck =)

Well the heli is only two days old. Plus I just found a post about the problem that I have. It's about the proportional that I have to fix a bit. But for now, I have to wait till Monday to recieve my new blades. I ordered the Xtreme Blades. I broke all of my regular blades. Little by little I'm going to upgrade my V3.

Xtreme blades are definately a good upgrade. GL with getting your heli in the air
