sturdy fuselage

Anyone know where I'd be able to get a more sturdy fuselage (don't care what the body style is) that would fit well onto the outdoor big lama?

I guess you are looking for a body other than an Esky body.

Like all air craft weight is an enemy. That's why the Esky bodies are so thin. I would suggest that you just order another body.

I went to the Esky's main page on the net and ordered another Big lama body. Should be here today. I could not get the red one that came on my Lama so I had to settle for the red/white/blue body.

Darthdrks makes bodies that will fit the Big Lama. But you will have to do some work to get it attached. They are not too expensive either. They are made out of the same stuff.

Ya I understand that they need to be "thin"... but it just kinda makes me angry that it is flimsy to the touch. My 3 channel has a stronger fuselage than my 4 channel... that's just not right.
Thanks for the 'vice though

I had a problem with my Lama. Caused damange to the fuse. Broke all the fittings that hold the fuse to the frame. I had to use small fuel line to splice the fittings and screws together. Now the fuse holds on to the frame better than ever.
