eSky E500 canopy issue

Its starting to look like a military helicopter but I still need to find the small item decals. I may just have to buy a plastic model to get them. When its done I'll put it on the E-500 which now has a Lama Canopy on it but will soon be a Military Lama or something like that.

A new Lama arrived today. Got for what I thought was a good price so I couldn't say no. But this thing was really bad right out of the box. Finally got the wag out of the tail by adjusting the gain. And I got ost of the left spin out by adjusting the proprotional as far as it would go. Still have to add a little exta right rudder on the trim button. Its flying pretty good now. I think the front motor is a tad bit weak or something. No matter though my plan is to replace the motors on oth when I get home. I'm gonna use the ones Tombo told us about. For 26 bucks a set what the heck.

I've been running these same motors since Sept 2010. The're still working fine. I'm confident that they will outlast the stock motors by a healthy margin.

I sorta got lost looking at motors. These 12 teeth gear motors are the ones you recommended? It'll have to wait till I get back off the road but just planning ahead. Do the blue heat sinks fits these? Thanks for the help.

I just realized that I could probably use a extra set of blade grips that I have to make a blade balancer. I'll try it when I get home. I hate being on the road away from all my toys.
