There's a trick to it. Lift the collective/throttle stick to 52-55% for a couple of seconds and release it. The heli will lift off gently. If you've never flown a RC heli before I'd highly recommend getting an RC simulator to learn how to fly at least the basics. It's very worth it as you'll progress without crashing a real RC helicopter. If you rely on GPS and it drops off you need to take full control and fly it yourself. As you can imagine 2 x 500mm blades spinning at 2000+rpm is very dangerous. The Flysky transmitter plugs right into the cable. Aliexpress and ebay have a 4 in 1 RC simulator for cheap. Cheers for your comment.

Same... pretty tough to find though, except for micro helis.

Hi Ryan, here's the link. I've painted the main rotor and tail blades plus tinted the windows on mine. There's a quick review on my channel. Highly recommend learning to fly RC helis before you fly these around. These things are very dangerous.. a.aliexpress.com/_mPINSwR

The retracts come standard on the 500 sized FlishRC Airwolf.

Would absolutely LOVE A Blue Thunder model.. My Fav Heli from the 80's.

Fair enough. The new tail blades that they send with the newer version are much quieter. You don't even notice it when it's more than 20m away. I find the heli very quiet.

@@THEMIGHTYCB Of course. All the modes are available. 1400 ATT, 1300 6G, as well as the stock RTH, GPS and 3D. Its all programmable through the transmitter menu. Stock FlySky transmitter has a 3 position switch but if you bind it with a modern computer radio you can use it's 5 position switch to have all modes available.

@@THEMIGHTYCB also no i didn't need to calibrate the compass. The latest model firmware you dont need to.

@ Awesome thanks heaps! I will program it for home, gps and ATT I reckon

@@steveblackbird That is so handy

@THEMIGHTYCB that's what I have programmed with mine. Once I'm competent with that, then 6G... and then 3D. Though on a sim I can fly in full 3D mode.. I do occasionally crash from being too cocky lol.

Back in the day when I actually watched TV. Great show

@@maximusvr46 Too easy. No mods needed for flying it out of the box. Tail blades were painted using Tamiya PS-1 white polycarbonate paint is much more flexible. Main blades were masked off so the bottom doesn't get painted. I used Tamiya TS-26 pure white with TS-16 yellow for the tips. The tinted windows are TS-71 smoke. Go very easy with the smoke.. multiple very light coats. It's as easy to fly as a DJI drone in GPS mode. Everything you see in the vid is how they arrive. Ready to fly.

@@maximusvr46 One thing I'll add.. each blade is near 500mm long.. spinning at 2000 RPM. These helis are very dangerous in the wrong hands. They're expensive but in my case totally worth the money. Personally.. get an rc simulator for your PC and practice with a 3d helicopter (the transmitter plugs right in so you dont have to get another controller for your PC or laptop...so you have at least a little backround skill.

@steveblackbird great advice thanks, which rc sim do u recommend? Is it just usb into the pc with the RC? And its recognised?

@maximusvr46 I've got a few like Real Flight, and Phoenix. Aliexpress has a setup that includes 4-5 sims in one bundle with cables and USB dongle with CD for installs. Easy setup. Yes it recognises the controller.

@@michaellui74 The flywing version is about half the size. FlishRC has weapons and retractable landing gear, where the Flywing doesn't have them.

@@riaangeldenhuys6937 Spare set of carbon blades from FlishRC. I painted them with Tamiya TS paint on top. Masked off the lower surface so its still showing carbon underneath. The stock grey blades are my spare set.

Don't forget to balance your blades after painting them too.

I appreciate you coming back to me. Thanx alot will do so.

@@riaangeldenhuys6937 I painted them using tamiya spray paint.

@@michaellui74 In GPS mode... exactly like a DJI drone. Smooth and quiet.

@@steveblackbird thank you watching you from San Francisco

Completely agree, I almost bought the Flywing version. Solid helis in their own right. After I discovered the FlishRC version being nearly double the size, Being 500 sized v's 450, The scale guns and retracts I felt it was worth the asking price. It's quite a big heli in person.

@@michaellui74 yes beginners can fly it in GPS. 3D needs a lot of practice on a sim before you fly for real. Check the link in the description. Cheers for the comment.

@@steveblackbird thank you please show how to fly just subscribe to your channel . Planning to buy one thanks 🙏

@@michaellui74 They fly just like a drone (DJI for example) easy as. Difference is you choose mode 1 or mode 2 depending on what you're used to if you've flown model aircraft before. It would be easier to find a drone channel that's more professional than I am lol. Just a heads up with this big heli. Remember each blade is almost 500mm long spinning at 2000rpm..... It can kill. Cheers for the sub!!

I plan to...Cheers for the comment!! I've ordered the light kit from FlishRC with the nav light lenses. Problem is that the fibreglass where the tail position light and the left and right position lights are, on the sponsons, is rather thick so if I mounted them from the inside there's going to be a fair amount of material removal required if they're going to be visible from the outside. That could go south very quickly if I'm not careful. 5mm straw hat LEDs. Runs off a spare RX channel.

It's got a flight controller that has a GPS mode so flys just like a drone. Though, It's a lot more dangerous..2 x 500mm blades spinning at 2000rpm with about 10hp behind them isn't for the feint of heart lol. Giant flying killer lawnmower. Flick of the switch it becomes a proper RC helicopter. I've been practicing on an RC heli simulator for a long time plus my experience from 15 odd years ago, and soon I'll take this up in 3D mode to fly like a proper collective pitch heli. Just gotta get over the fear of flying it in the mean time.

@@steveblackbird sounds like fun and a lot to learn 🙂

@@StingraysVideos Thank you for sharing. I can definitely see why you have that many. They really are at another level. Flish as a company are run well. Their aftersales service is sensational.

@@steveblackbird Totally agree!

There is a little trick with H1 unit. If you put throttle at 50% (center) raise to about 52-53% hold for 2 seconds then return throttle to 50% it'll do a super slow take off.... as you say yours doesn't rocket off as other H1 Helis but if they do then that little trick works flawlessly. The FW450 Is one of these rockets! Link to this trick in use on a fw450 v3..... ua-cam.com/users/shortsSyfawol-KC8?si=ZbNxC94WYQzVKYHR

@@Tucker_T Thankyou for the tip!!! I'll give it a shot next time I'm out. My sticks are spring loaded to centralise as I didn't want a ratchet to contend with when finding the centre so it'll hover steady and not drift up or down. The Fly Sky TX has fairly weak springs than what I'm used to but lots of sim time has me much more used to it.

@steveblackbird I use radiolink at10 II on my flywing helis (good enough) I too took out my ratchet and added a spring to my throttle . Mainly because that take off trick works best with a spring loaded cyclic (throttle). Also in gps mode you need sticks centred to get a stable hover, for those reasons I added a spring. As you raise stick from centre (tiny amount) hold for 2 seconds then release stick back to centre (50%) a little trickier without the spring loaded throttle.

@@Tucker_T You are a legend!! Thank You!! I did the 52-53% trick with the collective and it worked perfectly today... Was very happy with how it slowly rose up!!! Very scale looking... unfortunately I forgot to hit record on my camera and only got a short vid of a hover with my phone lol. Epic!!

@steveblackbird Awesome!! Can be a little fidly but once you get it once it's easily done.... great little trick isn't it! I hated it when my fw450 took off like a rocket to a set altitude, so much better this way 👍

There is no link. Parts are extremely difficult to find. Try Ebay and lots of patience. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Thank You Luke. You won't believe what's coming next though...A Brand new in Box one from Japan!!!! Soon as it arrives I'll video it!!! Really excited!

Generally the wobble is caused by having TSM turned up too high. I generally run TSM at about 10-12%. Its well known that the steering oscillates at high throttle when turned up. The shimming helps it turn in a little sharper and hold a straight line better at high speeds. Hope that helps.

@steveblackbird5174 thank you for the response!

Thankyou for watching and your fantastic reply. Awesome! It's a tragedy that they get so brittle. I recently bought a Marui Ninja and the plastics are still very flexible. Shame that the Tamiya ABS is so hard and brittle in comparison. You're going to hate me but.... I've changed a few of the decals already on my shelf queen and the runner (Damaged decals) TBH they look wonderful. Story behind MCI too...all good news.. I bought a set of the MCI Avante 1988 decals but the colours were quite dull and washed out especially the yellow. I sent Nathaneal an email with some pics, and he sent me out another set and they were 10x better. The yellow was deep and vibrant. Actually matched the kit ones. I think the Porsche 959 set was the same. Really hard pressed to tell the difference except the gold stripe...It's not as faded...Now that looks perfect. Yeah I changed the originality and I did think long and hard about it but a few were set crooked too. That drives me nuts lol. They actually came off easily too. No damage to the body and I removed a little paint from where the engine intakes were as they were originally masked off incorrectly. (You can see the white/blue line is wrong) It's as per kit now. I'm on leave atm so if the weather behaves I'll take the 959 runner and the Ninja out for a quick spin. Thank you for watching!!!

@@steveblackbird Yeah fella, Tamiyas plastics were always the most brittle..... which only got worse with age! But the 959 was notoriously bad even back in the day when it first came out..... I was forever breaking wishbones and hubs on my one in the eighties! Of course, parts availability was superb back then, with well stocked model shops in most towns..... something that is pretty much extinct now sadly. A lot of the 959s issues were down to its size, being 1/12 scale, the arms and hubs were not beefy enough to handle the various screws and pins that went into them, especially under load. Many would crack simply by the screws entering the component! Marui and Kyosho used far better flexible plastic that has held up very well to this day. I've restored many vintage rc cars from the eighties, and the Tamiyas usually just fall to bits as you disassemble them!. Any plastic parts that don't break during the restoration will soon also break within the first few drives..... that's where re release models come in handy as a source of brand new genuine and identical parts trees. Vintage kyosho plastic parts are very rarely broken, and last many years. Sounds like you done well with the decals, and great service from MCI by the sounds of things. I can fully understand why you went that route. I've had bad experience with repro decals many times in the past, and was never happy with the reproduction ones I used on my shelf queen 959 (I only used the gold and red stripe, the rest of the original ones were OK) It bugged me every time I looked at it- The gold stripe was totally the wrong shade, and way too thick! I've since managed to source an original new old stock genuine decal sheet and have now replaced the gold and red stripe on my shelf queen one..... But boy they were expensive! Well worth it though to finish the car off though. The reproduction decals on the runner one are AWFUL..... but I'm not so fussed about that one as it gets a beating whilst driven anyway! I bet your two look amazing on the shelf next to the gorgeous Avante.... I must build my Avante's and Egress one day, but with over 30 cars I'm fast running out of room!! All good fun though! 😉 👍 👍 👍

Traxxas X-01 will do 100mph out of the box. Arrma Felony 80-85 mph with 27t pinion. I've hit 100mph with a 32t pinion. You need very good quality batteries 100+C and feed the throttle on slowly. You'll need a long smooth road.

I'd never seen one here in Australia. Absolutely frothed over it as a kid. The Samurai is another beautiful buggy too. Even tougher to find!!
