Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Helicopters / March 2008co-comanche
I own a blade cx-2 and enjoy it alot. Does anyone have an e-sky co-comanche? Ive seen them on e-bay and they look pretty cool, but why are they so much less expensive than the Blade? > I own a blade cx-2 and enjoy it alot. Does anyone have an e-sky > co-comanche?

The tail rotor on the Co-commanche is for aesthetics only and serves no function during flight. in general, esky products are cheaper than their e-flite counterparts. (it's e-flite who manufactures the blade) one of the chief reasons for this is that e-flite is an american subsidiary company, which distributes its products to local hobby shops across the country. when you pay extra for the blade, you're paying for the shipping and distribution costs to bring the helicopters over from china. when you buy esky helicopters, however, they're direct from hong kong. another thing to remember is what Kevin R meant by one being a cheap copy of the other. having owned and flown and crashed both, i honestly can't vouch for the validity of such a claim. the blade has broken just as much as the lama. they're as equivalent as they come. article that talks about the co-commanche: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lama_v4 > it helps to remember that the co-commanche is essentially an esky Lama > V4 with a cooler canopy design.

I have great experience crashing my blade. I kind of have become a Blade Mechanic, having changed almost everything on it at least once. I was looking into the E-Sky beacuase of its cheaper cost, maybe I would have something to crash while I'm waiting on parts for the other. From the link that you sent, it seems to me that they are just about equal in function, and from looking at various sites and e-bay, quality as well. Anyway, thanks for the reply and the link you sent. Rich > it helps to remember that the co-commanche is essentially an esky Lama > V4 with a cooler canopy design.
