#rc #heli #flywing
i have been flying helis for 35 years. You never stop learning but it's worth the time and effort. Most people try and give up. It just takes time and dedication. I learned on a 40 sized nitro fixed pitch heli. it was so much harder than whats offered today. We had no flight controllers and tail gyros were not very good. Thanks Brian and camera crew for the great video content.
Thank you Brian, and yeah, back in the day I had a CP1 (or one? cant' remember exactly, but I THINK it was a Blade ~ 17-18 years ago) but it was SOOOOOOOOOOO hard! Yours would have been a ton harder to learn on.
...oh, yeah, and also you're welcome. We love putting up this content, and so long as people keep coming back, we'll keep putting it out ;)
Mine arrived today!! She did her maiden flight in 30mph winds!! She did it!!! ❤️
I just ordered it with 3 batteries. Bigger and more expensive than I am used to. My favorite helicopter batteries are like 15 bucks. This ones batteries are like 50 bucks. That's a difference. Lol. What am I getting into 😅
You are an amazing demonstrator and also having a same talented cameraman. Hats off.
My personal opinion on any GPS helicopter. If you are a plane guy that just wants to mess around with a helicopter, it’s great. But! If you truly want to be a helicopter pilot, I highly recommend staying away from them. They can teach a lot of bad habits, and especially if you want to learn 3-D, you start getting used to the auto 3-D with the sticks being the right direction as regular flying, and you advance to a bigger helicopter later you will have to retrain yourself all over again and you at that point are not truly learning. I’ve seen it quite a bit, guys buy and fly the FW stuff then go buy a Align,XL, SAB and so on spend thousands of dollars and destroy it in 30 seconds because they have no idea what they’re doing as they learned with the auto 3-D.
I have mixed emotions on the subject. One thing I learned is that you can't stop technology. The first thing I did was get an RF simulator around 2003-2004. I did that for one year before I even considered buying a machine. My first machine I built myself, and then it was checked over by an experienced heli guy. I also took paid lessons from him on a buddy box for a summer. He was like, "Are you sure you've never done this before?" At that time I was flying Thunder Tiger, and I had a Raptor 90SE with 9CHP, a YS.91, and a Hatori pipe. I then got an Align 450LP after a long break. Then I got back in with an M2 EVO, and then I just picked up this machine last week. It is odd going from a GY601 to an Align MiniGRS, to OMP's self-stabilization, and now to FW's GPS. The good news is that you can take this off of GPS, and it is quite the machine in 3D mode. I would love to see what this could do in the right hands. For some reason, people have amnesia when it comes to the fact that GPS can be turned off with a switch.
I'm definitely "a plane guy who plays occasionally with Heli's", and I do feel MORE in control on the Spektrum heli's, like the 330S and 230S, but this heli is FUNNNN still... I wonder if the bad habits would be worse for someone with a little less experience???
WestHobbiesRC I can agree with the bad habbits, now with that said you can change the flight controller in the software to work just like a Ikon would, being that when inverted such as down is up and up is down. Factory settings are not that way. So if you want to learn the normal way you can. Now with that said I have major hand injuries a long time ago that made me give up my love of this hobby and now I have bad nerve issues in the other hand but with this hardware this allows me to fly again. I'm not a stick banger I just fly casual flying and enjoy it. All my helicopters have the H1 unit in it, my SAB 570,500,280 Trex 550, 450, Roban 600 Blackhawk, Roban 700 Apache, 600 Funkey Airwolf, 450 size MD500 with a scale 5 blade head, Roban 600 MD500, ETC I only have 14 helicopters in my fleet for now but they will have this unit in it.
On a side note I do love your videos on your builds and they taught me some short cut or ideas on my builds.
@@BrianPhillipsRCBuongiorno ho il modello FW 450 v3 ho calibrato la bussola ma ho notato che l'elicottero non sta fermo si muove sia a destra che a sinistra. A volte si abbassa da solo. Non so da cosa possa dipendere, e risolvere il problema.
As a heli pilot that flys planes from time to time, I think this can be a good steeping stone/tool to get someone introduced into the world of helis. They never had this stuff when I learning. The only concern I would have is when it comes to that invert button. When your in full control of a heli without that, the controls are different and I can see someone picking up a bad habbit that would cause a silly crash. But come on guys, this is super cool and I bet it could still lay the smackdown in the right hands! Keep up the cool videos Brian🚁💨💯
Agreed, it's basically a drone but gives you the feel of a heli
yep - 100%
@@BrianPhillipsRC to add to this when you are in the software you can change it to professional and it will make it like and other flight controllers out there.
You and your camera crew are absolutely amazing. I just got a helicopter for the first time and it’s the army helicopter and I have not flown it yet but I look forward to it. I am scared to death that I’m gonna wreck. It may be a little prayer before I fly lol😂
450 SIZE to me has ALWAYS been the ULTIMATE small heli! Wish more companies made 450 size helis , especially SAB!
Phillips I got mine and I love it
So glad you did - what a heli!
Brian; A year or so ago I wrote to you all excited about this GPS heli to share it with you, and you responded that you weren't at all interested in a GPS heli that is so easy to fly, that it can pretty much fly itself with GPS, and that you like flying things that you control, and would find a GPS heli boring. (I don't remember your exact words, but I think I came close) And here you are later, all excited about, and flying the exact same GPS heli that I told you about! But it's OK, I love all of your flying video's, and is a great joy to see you excited & flying this GPS heli. What made you change your mind about this same GPS heli I told you about a year or so ago that you weren't interested in at that time? You sure are having fun with it now, awesome to see. Recently the V3 came back in stock at Motion RC, and here on July 8th. 2023 I just ordered the white one. I plan to use a Li-Po with more capacity, I love Thunder Power "Pro Lite X Series' 25c because they are a top quality Li-Po's and they weight quite a bit less than other Li-Po's. For example, their 2800 weighs the same as, or a bit less than all other 2200 Li-Po's. For 4S, they offer a 2700, a 3300, a 3850, a 4400, and a 5000 But I don't know how much extra room is in the battery compartment? You say you are using a 4S 5000 what brand? My plan is to get my new Fly Wing 450, then see & measure the battery compartment, so I can order a higher capacity Li-Po from Thunder Power RC. Motion recommends 35C but I've found the Thunder Power 'Pro Lite Series' with 25C is plenty, I talked to the owner of Thunder Power, and he said some Li-Po mfg's overstate their actual C ratings, and that their 25C rating is a least that and usually a bit more, and are honest C ratings. And their 25C is the 'continuous discharge rate' and has 'Max Burst Discharge: 50C' Since I won't be doing any high discharge rate flying, I think 25C would be fine. Their next higher ones are 55C. Glad you are having fun, and thanks for another great video, am very excited to get mine in a few days... : )
yes, I don't care for the GPS flying mods, IF they don't work, as we've seen back a year or two ago. I DO however think they've moved the technology forward so much that it's actually working well now, BUUUUUT, it's still not like flying a Heli. I admittedly use SAFE when flying heli's and probably will for some time, as I get my legs under me, but for the moment, if they keep improving the technology, and implementation, I'll be the first to support it ;)
One issue I've found, and personally experienced, is when things go sideways (literally, and figuratively) the cause of the problem can be VERY hard to find. I think the answer to this is redundancy, and more redundancy. When this is all worked out, there's no doubt, in 10 years we'll be flying around on "drones" and all that Jetson's type science REALITY we're looking forward too!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the reply Brian, on July 14th. 2023 I received my new Fly Wing 450L V3. Looking forward to flying it soon. Again, thanks for all of your awesome video's, much appreciated.
A lot of these comments are drone, drone, drone, horrible learning tool, etc. Phillips, you're only highlighting one component of this machine (an important one, but one nonetheless). The FW software provides a lot of parameters in sport mode (head speed, swash gain, swash expo, roll rate, agility, etc.), and there is a switch to put this into 3D mode. I have one, and I can assure you that with a 6S battery and all parameters fine-tuned and maxed out, this thing could hang with the best of them. The minimalist design may lack the sophistication and sexiness of an OMP M4 or Goosky RS4, but only an extremely small percentage of pilots would be able to tell the difference.
So it IS 6S capable?!??!?! That's CRAZY!!!
And, I do think this is the best FW we've seen yet, and does make me want to do the BELL and the HUEY badly ;)
P.S. M4 coming very soon....it'll be our little secret ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC correct the v3 can take a 6s pack. Keep in mind the Huey and 206 are working backwards. Those are V2.5. They don’t have the GPS which connects to the CCPs BeiDou system. I would highly suggest doing the calibration dance before flying both v2.5 otherwise your going to give your audience quite the video 🤣🤣🤣. The v3 adds this along with a lot of other differences that for some reason FW doesn’t promote.
Also the correct order to start the heli is put it in GPS mode first then hold both stick down and out for 3 to 5 seconds then let the sticks go and the flip the switch for motors to run. Also with the 5000mah battery you should get a 20 min flight.
yeah, we tried a few different orders, and she seemed to work once we got it right ;)
that would be a great FPV platform because if you lose your video, you can hit RTH and not worry so long as nothing is between you and the heli. Very efficient on battery compared to quad copters also.
Love your reviews. Just became a patron. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Thanks!!! Hope you got our message, and glad you're with us Sleepycbr!!!
Thank you great review
You're very welcome, and JUST now seeing you're one of our new members!!! Very sorry, but learning the TOOLS to find your comments first here on UA-cam.
Omg. So amazing 😂
Great video, I can so relate when you said basically you do silly things when you get too confident. I crashed my 450L V2.5 yesterday doing something stupid like trying to fly in between trees. Lucky for me not very much damage. I flew my V3 this morning and thought twice before I tried something dumb (haha).
FOR SURE ;) But that's also what keeps your blood flowing - if it was too easy, it wouldn't be as crazy fun!
Brian Thank You for doing a review on this Heli that a recommended a few months back. Fly Wing is working on a quick disconnect 0n/off for the main roto's. Don't know the release date yet.
I have my eyes on the Huey and the Bell!
You guys are fantastic, I end up with the military version army I have not thrown it as of yet I’m chicken I just have to read through it and be brave enough to give it a shot. Anyway, you guys are awesome.
Would be nice if they offered it with scale bodies, especially one big enough to hold fpv cam inside. Scale fpv heli flying would be great with this thing, especially assuming you can flip it back to auto mode at any point and have it rescue you.
I think you can get them too - I want one ASAP ;)
blade 230 S the ball links do pull off ,while flying , then the heli will dive bomb in the ground , be careful it does not hit the flyer or a window .
Very nice Brian thanks
This is very cool.
Very cool Brian. Good thing Camera Crews eyes aren’t killer lasers cause you’d be a goner lol
LOL - Killer lasers!!! I'll have to tell her that one!
Ya... It's stop, down and out for 5sec, then run after status goes solid green.
LOL
Great video. Your enthusiasm matches mine for this new FW450 v.3. Please test the new "altitude recovery" feature available in the newest v.2.0 software update for the FW450 and tell us what you think? (This feature allows even us old guys to practice in 3D mode without fear of crashing. Keep up the good work!)
Hey Brian. Don’t really care for helicopters,but wanted to show support anyway. I’m holding out hope for the EC1500 re release soon.
What is this ec1500?
@@rafaeltorres2886 Eflite EC1500 is a twin motor 1.5m airplane released about three or four years ago, that was discontinued.
I don't know when that's going to happen. Wish I could share, but I don't even know at the moment.
Hell yea! Iĺ put that dude in circles and video my get togethers and won't even have fly it. Just keep an eye on the time. 🤣
Having trouble downloading the software --- The files are always empty --- ANy advice
Wish I could say. We didn't have that issue, but not sure what's going on. Can you try from another machine?
love the video but sad you was too far to see inverted
Thanks, and sorry about that. As I'm getting more skilled in the heli arena, I'm trying to be a bit less far away ;)
Another great video
Would this be ok for a first time helicopter?
I know you are a plane guy but there is not harm in asking.
Helping an elderly neighbor with his helo and have hit a brick wall as I am out of ideas.
Downloaded the software to turn on inverted flight and after making that change the copter would not connect to the GPS. Light on GPS module was green, copter would stay flashing yellow.
Out of ideas, we did a factory reset on the transmitter and after doing the rx bind, the copter finds the GPS but will not start. Copter shows solid green in GPS mode and solid blue on 3d mode but moving the sticks down and out does not start it. No movement of the sticks will start the thing.
Any thoughts or suggestions as I am out of ideas??
Thanks in advance
The rotor blade quick disconnect is now available. A little pricey. $55.00
Agreed, that's pricey, but if it makes it quick, would be sweet!
Mine after 10secs from takeoff starts climbing in its own, stick input does not change anything. Have to cut it off to avoid crash. Have calibrated etc. I am at a loss
Hi Brian,as someone who is returning to R/C flying after a long lay-off,i have many questions and mostly concerning LiPo batterie's--they're really complicated to someone who has always worked with nitro and diesel engines--what's the difference between a LiPo for your transmitter or a LiPo for your planes,do you follow the same charge/storage procedures i.o.w.--do you also storage charge your transmitter LiPo and how....if you take out the battery from your transmitter,doesn't that alter the settings ?What's the C-rating on a LiPo--what does that mean/do ?...i mean...i have a bucket-full of such questions,too long to post inhere,but wouldn't it be possible to do a tutorial on LiPo's...specially for newbie's like me to learn how to handle and work with LiPo's in a safe way and how to chose them for a given application ?Maybe an idea for a future "LiPo how-to" ? With friendly greetings -a superfan from BELGIUM.
What would be a good camera for this heli ??
Seems like a good product, really good review. Probably over priced for 1/2 of your viewers.......
Hi Brian I just got the Heli 450 v3 but I crash it the esc burn so I purchased the new one in but they are giving to me the V4
so I put it in but they are running about less than the min and stop so can you help me what should I do next Thank you
Are you running the batteries from not fully charged? Is your charger broken, battery(ies) bad?
If the flight controller is not set right, there might be a way to change the LVC (Low Voltage Cuttoff) in the PC menu...you gotta hook it up to the PC and use their app. I don't generally do it with FlyWing heli's, but thought there was a usb connection on the Flight Controller / ESC combo...
Check on that, and change LVC lower ONLY AFTER you've confirmed fully charged battery and/or charger working right.
Why did you purchase from Rcgoing? and not right from Fly-wing? I am a bit worried on which to order from.
This is the perfect helicopter for beginners, experience pilots will ALWAYS complain abt technology just like plane pilots 😂, I always laughed at them fact that camera crew flew it just like that is a win more ppl will join the hobby
How much is it
Always enjoy your videos. Can you share how to set the timer the transmitter? They say not to mess with the transmitter??
Does anyone know if a Spektrum 5000mah 4s lipo will fit into the FW450L V3? Does the FW450L have an IC5 connection? Thanks
NIIIICE 👌🏻
I agree - thanks!
Hi there..i just wanna ask do i need to calibrate gps first or you can fly it right out of the box? Thank you
You only need the left stick not both
Fliegt der 450 fly wing aus der box auf dem kopf
This, or the Blade 330s??
Any idea what the dials on the front either side of the transmitter are for?
Does fw450 v3 only invert sideways when using GPS? The fw200 you can use the right stick to flip front or backwards into invert flight via Acro Flight mode...
Can you use this as just a basic general purpose non 3D sport flying heli?
100% It works really good, but it's not going to "teach" you how to fly, rather build your confidence on the controls, and then when you're ready to go FULL TILT 3D, you can, but it's such a huge leap for the average Joe (which I am)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks!
Great Review on the fw450, been eyeing this V.3 for a while however also into the SAB420 and devil 380 or 420 and omp M4 kits "would be my first kit",my eyes or nerves of steel just not as good as in my 20s now 50s so no 3d for me, lol up side is this is RTF with remote and nix to do and looks SWEEETTT..did you end up putting the fw450 into the case with blades attached.?
Are you going to do a second thoughts on the twin timber?
We will, but have a long list of "Second thoughts" to get done, and we TRY not to release "Second Thoughts" while the planes are still on pre-order, so hope this helps Dustin.
(OR just out of stock on back order, which it is now)
To bad I finally made a decision to purchase the hele,but I can't figure out how,back to Wal-Mart for another skyrover.
You can't figure out WHAT Heli to buy?
There's a bunch of amazing choices, just pick one and love it. If you want another later, there will be many to choose from when you're ready.
Thank you for fantastic video work and involvement in the RC. It is invaluable and you are the best at doing these in-depth detailed video.
Hi! Is it true that gps helis like this doesnt tilt on the side while banking? Also can the gps be turned off so that it can fly like regular collective pitch helis?
Film kivabe pabo
How tight did you get those blades? I tightened mine down but theres still a lil play
I can't remember, very sorry!
@BrianPhillipsRC I figured it out!! The nut on the bottom actually fits in a groove, I was unaware of. Glad I checked that before my maiden 😅😅
I still can't figure out how to purchase the Damm helecopters, click on the link?what in the hell,is a link?????
Just click here: bprc.me/Flywing_FW450
This will take you to a website to purchase from.
How much are they
Brian, would really like to see you try the Spektrum 5,000 mAH G2 batteries. Will they fit properly and is the CG still on?
good until the ESC start frying, many are already
Dont fly in over 35C heat and high humidity - it will just go off on its own and the only way to get it back it by turning off the power.
Really?!??! That's crazy
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah the ESC gets too hot. But I purchased the newer ESC so now it shouldnt be a problem. I recommend you get one if your FW450 doesnt have it I think its the V4 but dont quote me.
Hello, I want to buy an FW450 v3 but I have several questions:
1) Are there other compatible battery brands (Maniax, Gens Ace, ...), I see that on banggood it's a 4s 5000mah.
2) Regarding spare parts, I don't see many :/, is there a site, I live in Europe?
THANKS
I have the one with 3 flywing batteries. I think if you can find a 4s with similar dimensions and weight you’ll be just fine. Always check your CG. I would check RC going, helidirect and aliexpress for parts. Where in Europe are you? I am in USA
You can use whatever lipo you want that will strap into the slide in holder. It's one of the more generic styles we've seen on a heli. Might need to swap out an end or make an adapter for the discharge lead, but as for spare parts, follow our link and check what you can get. If that's a big concern, use that to help guide your decision to buy one. It's not cheap, but boy-o-boy, does she fly nice, and in terrible conditions no less!!! Can't wait to do the BELL and Huey.
@@BrianPhillipsRCI hadn't paid attention to your link, indeed a lot of spare parts ;) thk
450 size heli is a good learner heli
Calibration on computer to activate flip and figure 8 The downside is no IOS available
Kann man den heli in mode 4 fliegen und in was für einem mode wird der heli ausgeliefert
ja, kann man, von mode 1- 4 alles einstellbar
I watched your video and I did not see you clic on I accept these conditions on reverse setting.
While I definitely support getting some help, especially if you are new to that type of aircraft or if you’re just getting started in model aviation. I would advise a person to get help from an experienced person that has experience in that type of aircraft. For example don’t ask for help on your helicopter 🚁 from an RC airplane pilot that has absolutely no successful experience with RC model helicopters 🚁 Because some in our hobby will let their ego get in the way and you are the one that will end up paying for it when they do the wrong thing and crash 💥 your aircraft.
Drill a hole in the canopy close to the GPS unit.
what for?
Why?
The hole allows you to see what the light is doing in the GPS!
It can be seen from behind, but it was pretty BRIGHT for part of the video, so the led was tough to make out. In the sunset flights, it was easy to see.
$600 y’all can keep it
We will!
Do you ever fly anything that’s not got a bonus code , or available now , like just flying ….
Brian is becoming the HSN of hobby stuff his descriptions have over 100 links
Jay, it's like that all over the place. Helis, planes, cars, trucks, crawlers, etc. genius marketing on the part of the Chinese. They peruse these UA-camrs, find out who has the most subscribers and solid communication skills, and then send the product to them with some cash, and this is what we have. The amount saved in advertisement costs is immense.
@@goldenmanuever1176 yea I know the game but this is what gets my goat , for instance take last week I’m try to purchase a speedybee f405 wing flight controller, completely out of stock but you go on UA-cam there’s 30 creators with them .
I bet if I went online to try buy new timber be out of stock , but now this week everyone going to be trying to sell helicopters…. Drives me nuts
@@Jay-zc7iq I hear ya and sometimes I wonder if people even enjoy the hobby anymore. I am in the USA but purchased the green, RTF with three batteries like in this video from Ben over at RCGoing in Hong Kong and it arrived perfectly in about 10 days. They have it instock.
@@goldenmanuever1176 yea me too just feels like everyone is selling ,
not much enjoyable flying, different strokes for different folks hey
I like it! But not sure I like it for $600. Thinking.........dangerous thing to do. Also I don't see replacement parts listed.
LOL - Love this heli so far.
if you cant find the parts here in the US there is alternative ways to get them
I found that chopper new for 65$
How sway
It’s easy to brag about a heli when it’s given to you.
Don't understand why after watching a 2-hour video, with 17 minutes of begging for support, that Brian doesn't even have the courtesy to answer questions on spare parts. Shill I give you more examples?
It's more drone then heli
Not true
I would say its a heli with a gps unit.
When you have to wait to fly for it to find satellites, it's a drone, return to home drone! I love technology, but when your just pushing buttons and it does it all by itself drone, I understand heading hold and gyro stuff on a helicopter but gps why?
@@Tallguysrc A flip of the switch turns this into a 3D monster.
@@Tallguysrc if youre getting technical then everything we fly in RC is a "drone". This is a Heli with a GPS lol. nothing more, nothing less
Yea just click on the link,simple right?wrong,I don't see anything that shows link,I give up,I guess I have to find a hobby shop,100 miles from me,but oh well.
Here's the link: bprc.me/Flywing_FW450
So small you can't see it....
Bigger than most of our other heli's though.
Well don’t be flying today. Are weather sucks lol
It's CRAZY today here too...trees bending all over the place!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’m in the QC
It's too expensive. 600 bucks or more than 500 Euro.... You can get a nice Jet much cheaper.. nothing for us
I like your videos, but they are just too dang long!
We won't be offended if you don't watch the whole thing. Just take what you need ;)
Hahaha she is so much smarter than you😂
Flying is too easy so it's not realistic.
Brian,
You need to STOP there, because you don’t even know you’re doing!
I strongly suggest you SHOULD STOP BUYING GPS or easy mode for you to fly. You’re never will learn how to fly non-gps helicopters and learn how to fly helicopter as beginner helicopter. NON GPS HELICOPTER, I am dead serious about this, because you made a fool of yourself! The M4 with Spektrum receiver for this is great way to learn!!! Building kits are hard and bitching. GOOD!!!! Once you learn your flying skills improves, I don’t care if you crash it. Keep your patience to rebuild it and that’s make you a better pilot.
Simulator will help your nerves. Keep practicing on the sims and you will be surprised if you didn’t suck. Then keep practicing upside down hovering until your muscle memory works out your kinks.
Once you get it then you won’t be a fool in front all of the hobbyists on your UA-cam.
If you don’t then STAY AWAY FROM ALL OF HELICOPTERS!
STICK WITH YOUR AIRPLANES OR SAILPLANES!! That’s all I have to say!!!
I think I basically said the same or very similar here in our video. You have to remember not everyone is born knowing how to fly Heli's, and most won't really ever get into flying Heli's 3D...not that they shouldn't, or couldn't, but we believe it's not a skill that most hobbyist's are going to pursue for one reason or another. Same is true for airplanes...most guys are not "hardcore 3D" pilots, even though most could hold a simple prop hang and do some basic aerobatics, with the right plane. It's just about people's desire...and we don't think most people are going to want to go through the time, effort, expense of getting as good as the best 3D Heli pilots. This is not what I want for them, but I DO believe it to be true. This is why we love seeing heli's that are easy to fly. Yeah, you still have to pilot the thing, kinda, but GPS controls DO retard the learning process, and this is a problem for those who WANT to learn to fly RC helis.
The moral of the story - I will NOT stop flying heli's because I'm not the best in the world at doing it, as will I NOT stop making videos about my pursuit of personal excellence in a lot of different skills and interests. Our whole channel has been about me learning to fly, while helping others along the way. I basely knew how to fly RC planes when we started this channel...not sure if you knew that, but I was JUST getting started, and now I can fly most planes you put in front of me, and a LOT of helicopters, as well as all kinds of other strange RC skills. I'm still learning, and slowly improving my heli skills, sure, and I'm NOT the best at anything we do on UA-cam. And, I'm not in a huge rush to "get there" with heli's, and don't mean to be a jerk here, but not going to apologize to you or anyone else who would have me do it differently. The PURSUIT of this skill is a lot of the fun. It's not about "getting there" with this hobby...it's about enjoying the process. It's about learning, and improvement. Maybe for YOU, it's about "getting there" - and that's 100% fine, but don't want you to think I will be stopping this, or that, on account of your comment. I love this stuff too much to quit just because there's someone else better at it than me, and P.S. If I were worried about making fun of myself on the internet, I'd be quite an idiot for having this channel - if you can't laugh at yourself, you would have to be quite a prick.
I figured you would say. It’s your business.
I live in a high wind area. 60-70mph on a clear day is not unusual. 15-35 is a gentle day. Without gps you simply will not fly here very often at all. If you don't like it then don't use it. But it's an evil necessity in some geographical locations.
Why doesn’t the transmitter have a GPS solution indication???
I fly rc helicopters and rc planes. I like helicopters better in a way, you get in trouble, just hover. Its even better than safe mode in planes. This is very cool looking and quite stable. My current copter loses control when a gnat farts too close
Did u have to calibrate it before u fly it out off the box or do I have to calibrate it soon as I get it outa the box
Super 🙋♂️😄🇨🇭👍
Looks great. Just ordered one. Does anyone know if it has loss of radio signal return to home?? Thanks
Usually these heli's have it if you lose Rx / Tx connection as a "failsafe" condition. I thought this one did too.
