Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama I think it is time that I sit back and look at a couple of the posts I made in the heat of the moment in this thread and others that may be out there. There were words written that should have been thought more carefully about before putting them to paper, er, text. In retrospect, I should have not said anything before finding out all information that may have been available at the time I said it, so I offer my appologies for any ill feelings it may have caused. I hope it does not happen again, and I am sorry for it. Take care Don and all of you, too. Don I. |

Both made some very nice flight presentations with them. They were some of the first scale turbine helis I had ever seen. They were very impressive. I wonder if they even had any FBL stabilization system on them back then. If not, their flights would be that much more remarkable! I am sure that my flights with Johns Llama would not have looked so well if it was not for the DJI stabilization system that is on board. |

Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama Your thinking now of the funfly we had at our field, winston flew his vario at that time. At the stetson club at the same time as the lama, another fellow was flying a turbine predator. |

Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama Hi Phil. You were not at this event, I believe you could not make it as you were somewhere else judging another event. I went with friend on this one. It was the year before that you had attended. I do know he made a comment saying the hotter air was reducing lift, made it sound like its under powered which would contribute to the flying. |

Do you know if he did? I think I was a that event also and meant to ask him, but I got so busy helping guys with their set-ups, that I never got around to it. |

Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama Makes my flying look good, and that is one of the reasons I'm sticking to 450 size helis. |

Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama Yeah, it made me cringe too,there appears to be a lot of close calls. But he is an older guy and kept it away from the crowd. After the event I was talking to some of the other guys about it, I was tempted to ask if I could put it in forward flight and show it off a bit. Apparently if i had have asked he probably would have. I would like the opportunity to try it out

Re: BIG Turbine powered Llama That is some of the worst control of a large helicopter I have seen since being nearly knocked out of the sky by a similar example of amateur flying. The heli may be nice but the pilot should stick to micros until he learns to fly before he seriously hurts someone. Take it away from him until he can fly it properly. Sorry, that really makes me cringe. Don |
