  • In this video my daughter flys the FW450 pretty much all on her own! GPS can be very helpful for a kid or someone who never flew a helicopter before.

    It seems she really was interested and she was having fun doing what you said and trying a bit of her own. They grow up fast is an understatement. I can't help but think how different it would be for her as a mom teaching her son to fly instead of his dad.lol your good people and hope life is good for you.

      She is really interested in the helicopters. I tried to get her into flying airplanes and she wasn’t that interested but with helis She really is. Thank you! I appreciate that. I try my best!

    Awesome to see others getting their baby girls out. My daughter is 3 and she loves coming with me. Hasn't flown a heli yet but she's started on the DJI drones ❤

      I was a year younger than your daughter when I started in this hobby! If she likes flying the DJI, you should get her one of these flies almost identical.

    She did a great job 🤘you can tell right at the beginning of the video she really wants to fly it lol good to see you trying you get to her to practise the basics though I really wish I had gps to learn with would have progressed so much faster come to think of it I didn't even have stability mode at the time hope to see more vids tracking the progress like this

    • @westhobbiesrc8051
      @westhobbiesrc8051  7 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! Yes, she definitely wanted to fly. She wanted to do circuits, and I had to keep telling her to practice, hovering lol GPS is great for this but at the same time it could hurt as well. Your brain will rely or get used to that when you let go of the sticks it automatically hovers in one spot, and as you progress further in the future, it might make you have to relearn controlling the helicopter in micro movements. When I learned I didn’t even have a tail gyro!

      ​Very true about the gps but a great Heli along with the FW200 for getting the hang of thins I just bought my first hobby grade Heli in over a decade went with the Goosky Legend S1

    I'm no expert, but from what I've seen on other channels, you need to wait for a certain number of satellites to connect before you can take off or use GPS mode, again from what I can remember you need quite a few satellites connected, perhaps as many as 15, which can take 2-3 minutes.
