After so many days of browsing the net about remote controlled electric helicopters finally I ordered one from Hong Kong.
I always wanted one, but never had it on the top of my wishlist.
So it was until last week when one of my collegaue bought a small Mosquito RC heli into the office and I tried it.
You can read some review about it here on Slashgear.
It's a small 2 channel rc heli, which is easy to fly and it's a very good start to step into the "world of rc helis".
This experience gave me the final push so I started to look for a bigger one to buy.
After reading many-many reviews, blogs, videos on Youtube I decided to go for the Lama, which they say is one the best 4 channel electric heli for beginners, easy to fly but it really needs a lot of practice. So let it be!
For aesthetic reasons I ordered an E-sky Lama V3, I just love its shape better then the V4.
It's a newer version with 2.4G remote control and digital servos.
I thought I let you know: these "machines" have been developed so much in the past few years, if you were looking to buy one: this is the right time! And they are cheaper then before, you can get a Lama on Trademe for around $150.
Finally here is a very good video about the Lama V3:

UPDATE: it's "almost on the way as I had a little issue with an online shop in Hong Kong:
Paypal vs. credit card payment vs. fake online shops
UPDATE #2: Finally I've got a Lama V4 and it's great!! I am still learning how to fly, but so far so good.. :)

Got to recommend dealextreme.com for the Lama and other helis, about $NZ110 including shipping for the Lama.
