Very interesting that you actually got into ground resonance once you landed. This is a rare phenomenon with three blade rotors but when it happens on full sized helicopters the pilot needs to immediately add collective and power and get the machine up off the ground otherwise it will bounce and shake all to pieces. There are several videos on KZfaq of this actually happening and it destroys the aircraft and sometimes injures the occupants. Nice job on the build and the flying!

I have flown RC helicopters for about 25years and in my opinion the turbine Lama is the ultimate. Many thanks for this video.

Thank you very much for your kind comment, which I really appreciate. cheers, Horst

Love the way the 'pilots' shake around at the end!!

Thank you for your kind comment. A more realistic flight you will see at the second flight (with some slow motion maneuver).

Vielen Dank für Deinen lieben Kommentar, Christian. Viele Grüße, Horst

Many thanks for your kind comment. Such a huge model helicopter is something that you definitely want to to see in real. This is something you will never forget.

Thank you Tim. It's always a pleasure to read your comments. Cheers, Horst

Thanks for your kind comment. Oh yes, Harald is a skilled helicopter pilot.

Many thanks for your compliments. Much appreciated !

Thank you very much Mario for your great comment which I really appreciate.

Merci pour votre excellent commentaire. Je suis heureux que vous aimez la vidéo. Cordialement, RCSA

Thanks for your nice comment, which I greatly appreciate.

Thank you for your kind comment.

Loved the shaking pilot and passenger

Many thanks for your kind comment. Have a look to the 2nd flight, which is even more realistic. Best regards, RCSA

Thank you very much for your comment. Flying 3D helicopters are very difficult to capture on video. I like the scale RC models. They are easier to capture with the camera, because they are not so nervous in the air :)

Thanks for your comment. This was one of the very first flights with this helicopter. I'm sure that the vibration issue will be reviewed and solved very soon. btw. I'm only the guy behind the scene ツ

Thank you very much for your kind comment! Greetings from Germany

Thank you. Yes, the vibrations are very high at start-up and shut-down. This video was taken at one of the very first flight of this helicopter. The vibrations has been eliminated. Best regards, RCSA

Many thanks for your comment. Regarding the price you should follow the link shown in the video description. I'm only the guy behind the scene ... sorry ツ

Muchas gracias por tu gran comentario que realmente aprecio.

Not just a fantastic visually appearance, this heli also sounds like his big brother - what a great work (and - of course - pilot)... ...fantastic done, really fantastic done!

Thank you Peter for your kind comment !

Wow,what a lovely machine. I have worked on Alouette and Gazelle helicopters and this just sounds and looks like the real thing. It even shakes on the ground like the real thing!

"Shake it up Baby"! That is an awesome bird!

Herrliche Maschine und großartiger Maßstab wie Fliegen! Experten (Bauherren & Pilot) den ganzen Weg! Ich habe diesen Beitrag sehr genossen. Vielen Dank! Magnificent machine and magnificent scale like flying! Experts (builders & pilot) all the way! I enjoyed this post very much. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your compliments, Tony. I greatly appreciate. Best regards, RCSA

Gorgeous model, beautiful photography!

Unglaublich! Wunderbar! Sie sind ein Meister des Modellbau und Modellfliegen.

Magnifique machine !!! ... et Valais - Suisse et leurs personnes me laissent toujours enchanté. Mes félicitations par le travail ici démontré. Thank you .

never been a fan of the lama, not rc, just the lama in general but when a rc heli is this big it has to be admired no matter what its based on and i love the little details in the cockpit, that little mobile phone in its holder is cool ha ha i think the pilot in the right seat needs to lay off the drink though, at 2:22 you can clearly see he has the shakes lol

thanks

Nice looking Heli, great to see a classic scale heli.. Big Thumbs Up..Tim

Beautiful build and nicely flown - a lot of someone's life went into that project !

Nice flight Friend, you rarely see someone with this size of heli making a beautiful flight. congratulations

Thanks Dave !!!

Amazing. I love it so much. Thank you for sharing.

Did the original one also shake at the start up like this one? ツ Thanks 4 watching !!!

Absolutely amazing machine! Congratulations on a great build.

perfecto los detallles, enhorabuena

Beautiful machine and so well flown

Thank's Bob. Yesterday late afternoon I've been called from the airfield to come there with my camera. So I had the opportunity to film two flights of the Lama. This one was the first flight. The second one I'll not show on YT but it will do a DVD for the pilot and his crew. I've seen your Lama video and I remember that it was a pre maiden flight. I'm looking forward to see the Lama in action again. Best regards, Horst

Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt !

Vous ne devez pas être envieux. Il ya beaucoup de travail et d'argent dans ce modèle. J'admire ces gens et je suis heureux de voir cette belle hélicoptère.

Outch !!! Beautiful scale helicopter and very good pilot !!!! i love

Very nice! It could easily be a prop in a movie - very realistic! And great flying!

Traumhaft schönes Modell, fantastisch geflogen und ein suuuper Video. Gratulation! Mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. Danke für den upload.

The design and the engine are really magnificent, my congratulations

Thank you for sharing this great video of a beautiful machine! The detail is absolutely amazing. Now I must know. Why would anyone come here, look at this great video of a beautiful RC helicopter that people worked very hard on and kind enough to share, then give it a thumbs down? If you don't like it then just split but don't be a shit head to the guy sharing this with us. Great helicopter, impressive! Much love and respect from Colorado USA.

❤️❤️❤️❤️👍 I like it very much. And will follow you forever❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Absolute Spitze...poetry in Motion...

Beautifully built and flown!

Thank you Janusz !!!

tout simplement SUBLIME. J'en suis jaloux tant c'est beau.....

Brilliant, a pleasure to watch.

that is one amazing model..... the attention to detail is fantastic,,,

Beautiful scale flight. Very nice.

Great heli and good flying skills.

beautiful,superb flying that thing's rock solid

Fantastic! Really.....just amazing.

Behold, the father of all RC heliscopters! :) Once again, excellent footage...

That is a truly beautiful model

superbe modele et super pilote. Bravo

Besten Dank !

Beautiful machine well flown..thanks.

Wow if I started watching this video after the heli was in the air I would have thought it was full size with real pilots. Very nice detail work. What an impressive flying machine, GOOD FUN

That is one sweet setup!!!

DAS nenn ich Modellbau-Kunst und Modell-Technik vom Feinsten! Gratuliere dir zu diesem traumhaft schönen Modell! Gruß Matze

OMG what a remarkable piece of engineering you guys know what you are doing its so good to see this sort of stuff out there. keep up the good work you guys. : )

simplemente espectacular!!!

Such a beautiful model. Its hard to tell it from the full size in some shots. well done.

Awesome helicopter! I always wondered if this giant scale heli could fly with me inside :-)

Thank you!

Magnifique !!!!

Thank you John! Sorry, but I really don't know if the canopy is a part from the kit or if it's self made. I will ask the owner of this helicopter asap. Best regards, RCSA

Thank you. I do like much more the kind of scale flying ツ

hello sir the helicopter is cool tho can you please let me know the engine you used in forming the helicopter? and what type of engine one can also used.

Un trabajo espectacular,,como lo construyen con tanto realismo?,Ke valor tiene un proyecto asi??

WOW Simply Beautiful!!!!

Many thanks ツ

marviless job you must be prowed man it still has issues with vibration i see mayby mast bearings to far apart . or maby a bit more head speed but what a fantastic achievement from a very tallanted man thankyou

Outstanding.

what a nice work hard

Amazing...... Please let me know how you moulded the clear cockpit canopy ? Many thanks :D

Exactly the same I was thinking when I saw this helicopter for the first time.

ESPECTACULAR

Beautiful!

thats a big thumbs up great job

Helifantastic!!

Thanks. After you lose sight of the helicopter ... it's too late for any control :) The range shoud be around 1 mile or so.

Pure magic !

Un aparato impresionante, como me gustaría poder trabajar en uno de ellos. me gusta pilotar-los pero mas me gusta el mantenimiento de las maquinas.

shou de bolaa parabenssss j. aleixo brazil

Awesome level of detail. I don't know the real thing, but the is dedication. And I believe that 3D it a good aspect of rc, it take extreme skill to fly like that ( plane or heli). Its a fun way to fly and in planes it is like an art. 3D is defined as flying just below stall speed.

Muito bom Show de bola é muito legal mesmo baccano vídeo

realy nice flight real one congrat

This is awesome. Great work :)

Awesome video, thanks for sharing it. My question is, why were the pilots shaking so bad when you powered down? Is there an issue with the blades being out of balance? I noticed a wobble in the blades when you throttled up before you lifted off the ground. Thanks guys.

Have the rotors been fully balanced, and have the angles of attack been completely equalised?
