First time that I opened the tail. Replaced the tail rotor shaft with a straight one (from J.P. Twister 3D Storm), replaced the main shaft, removed the flybar and ordered most of the missing parts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fast-lad.co.uk\/\">from the UK<\/a>.   <\/p>\n<p>Some days ago I ordered parts for my Walkera DragonFly 4 and included a pair of crystal oscilators in that order. Crystals from Walkera are not expensive but there are not many frequencies to choose from. So now that I have 2 crystals which fit together I undusted my very first helicopter, the Walkera (Coax) Lama 5#4 to find out that  it still flies. Of course VERY stable compared to the others. It&#8217;s a nice sunny day, not much wind so I tried the stunt that I planned to do almost since I have this little heli: start in the livingroom, fly through the 0.9 x 1.1m window (4th floor!) and come back.<br \/>\nI did it &#038; succeeded. It was very exciting and fun. outside there was some wind: the heli went right , then left , then up, then down &#8211; and for some seconds I did not see it &#8211; I had to do some steps to the window to look out &#038; down to see that it was still in the air. Then I climbed again and flew back inside.<\/p>\n<p>In the evening I flew the Piccolo in the garden. No tree-hitting this time. One unplanned trick: loosing the complete landing gear during touch &#038; go in the grass. Landing gear ? I dont need it for flying \ud83d\ude09 It is so loose after all these years (I bought the piccolo is 2nd hand)<br \/>\nThen I tried flying backwards (tail first) which worked quite well for the first time. I started on my right side, flew ca. 10 times from the right to the left and even did 2 (backwards) half circles.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I started to repair the Blade400.
