This is the most detailed video I have found on the Flywing Bell 206 V3. I am looking into getting this heli and you answered some of the questions that I had. Thank you.
The main reason it shook on take off is because of the landing pad. The landing pad is very smooth and when heli spools up you get harmonic vibration. If you were to take-off on some short grass then it should resolve the harmonic shake. This happened to me when I used a plywood base, I have now made a pad with a foam/rubber material which has more grip and resolves the harmonic shake. Apart from that it seemed to fly well. I'm just trying to help a fellow pilot and not trying to be awkward. Try short grass and hopefully it'll solve the harmonic shake upon take-off. Happy Flying and hope you enjoy your new bird.....
@@Tucker_T I like using a standard size welcome door mat flipped upside down for my heli pad. It’s an easy item to get and made of rubber material so skids don’t slide around like you mentioned. 👍🏼
Yeah I used a rubber tile that's normally used for children's play rooms. The type that click together like a jigsaw puzzle, very cheap and works very well. A friend used a sheet of ply but stuck some fake grass (astro turf) on top. Looks really cool. I'm thinking of doing the same and add some lights too 😂 (just the way I am always tinkering). Just like yourself 😂
@@Tucker_T Oh man now you got my head spinning now buddy. I can vision a Helipad w/ landing lights and a aircraft control tower off to the side with a spinning satellite on top of it 🤣 those foam matts seem to work great also but wasn't sure If it would be heavy enough or possibly flipping up w/ air because I didn't know the power within the helis yet. And when I was going for first flight of the Huey I stoled the wifes side door Matt instead and stuck with it so far.
@thatsmyrc been through that thought process many times. Even using black tiles for a runway and green for grassy areas! Lol. Yes they are light I normally use a couple of tent pegs to secure it down....
Thank you so much for your comment 😃 making videos is not easy and some times is time consuming, so comments like yours are greatly appreciated and valuable to me because somehow I was able to helped the Rc community, and that feels good, Thank you😃
Great Video FYI The scale Heli's from Flwing with H1 Scale flight controller do not have the Inverted function available. This is only for the H1 Heli & H1 Lite. great review and I agree this Heli looks so much better in real life. Pictures really don't do this beautiful shell justice.... all you need now is some lights 😂. Thanks for your great work and videos. Keep them coming 👍
@@adriansullivan-q9i The invert feature is not available on the H1 scale unit provided in Flywing scale Heli's. The only Flywing models that have inverted flight are the FW200, FW450 and Airwolf (which is a fw450 v2.5). As soon as you connect any scale Heli to H1 software the inverted feature disappears. It is restricted to their pod and boom style Heli's..... 👍
My bell 206 does not have the invert feature, my switch does nothing. Is it because I need a to be a certain height? Do I have a faulty product? I'm confused, how do you activate the invert feature? I can't find it anywhere. Can you please make a video showing how to turn this on as I'm struggling to do this. You say it's done on the tx but other people say it's done in the software. Please can you make a video on how to do this with the Bell 206 as I can not find it. This would be very useful. Or is it because i dont use a cable when i connect transmitter to pc as i dont use a cable to connect my transmitter to pc software. Much appreciated, thanks for this video. Sorry I'm new to these helicopters and very confused. Thankyou.
@@Pixie-v5jthis model bell 206 v3 does not have the 3d inverted flying option. I’m not new to flying helis did in past but new to these gps helis they have now. And I’m learning as I go with others great help. Great first flight flying is a blast. wouldn’t hurt to recalibrate your helis gps if your going to use gps flight in any new location. As I did find out hard way on lost signal due to my area. And the bird will go haywire quickly, specially in small area it feels like lightning speed gone wrong 😬But I’ve since also programmed out my 3d mode channel (since it has no function) to atti for full manual control flight over gps when needed. Few miles down road I pick up plenty of satellites but my backyard 9-11 and that’s a good day. In my yard you can literally see the locked green light ready to go then go back to flashing yellow as it sits there on my heli pad re searching for a satellite signal. I noticed this after my first mishap as I was anxious to just go fly. Then I studied the heli wondering what and why it went wrong. Not a good thing to have happen. But flying in atti mode I've had no issues I can now take off and enjoy flight yard but rather get out and open its wings. I’ve yet to use auto the landing when I was in gps. Good times ahead with flying. I just picked this bell up a bit ago and ordered the 450L v3 other night. Few days shipping with helidirect already shipped out and great sale price 👍🏼
@@thatsmyrc thanks, same here I tried flying helicopter years ago but they not easy. This GPS system made me try again and I'm glad as flys well. I don't care for invert flying if I'm honest but thinking my heli was faulty or missing something made me panick just like the 3d switch did. Just watched a video from guy above Mike's tutorials and just showed me how to get rid of 3d mode that's very helpful. Now I will be able to fly without being scared of that switch. I also just watched another video from someone else who said it does not do it think he was called tucker and that video shows it is not possible with bell 206. Other videos also say it does do invert this gets confusing for a new user of GPS helicopters. This is why I stopped using UA-cam years ago as most videos contradict each other which I find frustrating. Thought to try youtube again and straight away I'm confused. I also found captain drone channel asked him and he also repled saying you need to activate it in software. Ha! May I ask a question you say you get a satellite count. How do you do that I can not find any telemetry on handset. Also my battery bar on handset for helicopter always says battery is full but again this video says heli has telemetry which it must if he has a battery indicator and you have a satellite count am I missing something or are you using a different handset. Sorry for many questions it's because I'm confused and manual has little information.
@ Mike and Tucker are rock stars of knowledge, champions in my book. They’ve helped me get back into flying without the frustration that comes along with it. Their videos are the most informative easy to follow and the response to questions are top notch I’ve found on YT. Hats off to them both. How I’ve flown so far and not many hrs under my belt with the gps models. I’ve never rely on transmitter to receiver power indication with other lines of rc’s. So far with helis I use a mini lipo alarm connected to battery set at a comfortable voltage for alarm set to go off. Before I did that I’d would fly, land and check my battery at intervals w/ a lipo checker to see the percentage left in battery vs time flight used. From there I calculate aprox flight time since these helis are new to me to get the most accurate power drain down of battery to voltage adj settings at aprox 30/28% voltage battery life left. That gives me time to understand the flight time I got on a battery then aprox time battery alarm goes off even if I don’t hear it flying high I can have enough time to bring the heli in safely knowing time flight with not draining down the battery to low causing damage to battery cells. Multiple batteries are a plus I’ve got 4. I keep them no less than 28%-30% charge them up when ready to fly and repeat. I’m using stock transmitter as of now. It’s a learning curve for me as well. But if we are not learning something new everyday we aren’t living to the fullest 👍🏼
Wow, this is an awesome video. I have a question if you know do this one the 450 and the 470 share the same frame inside internals try to see what’s the difference in the 470 and the 450 thanks.
Hi, 👋 this is a good question 🤔 I didn’t know, so I contacted flywing and ask them, and this is what they email me ( UH1 V3 V4 and Bell 206 V3 and BO105 can be use interchangeably ) Now I am not sure but, i think this are the only models that use the same internal mechanism and frame. I hope this answer your question, sometimes this response from the manufacturers are brief and we still don’t get all the answers that we need. Let me know if it did answer your question and thank you for comment and for watching my videos😃
I found this video nice. To bad there are so many people that have to spend time criticizing. If you cant made a nice or encouraging comment move on. Helping a fellow enthusiasts with corrections is helpfull, criticizing is not.
Thank you, I agree with you👍 is sad some people are just like that, and don’t realized making videos is not easy. Thank you again for your positive comment and support 🎉 people like you are part of the Rc engine that motivates me to keep moving forward and to make more interesting Rc videos to come, From my family to yours, blessings to you and your love ones😃

They should do what's advertised and mine does not do this and this one does so my helicopter must be bad. Not happy with this helicopter now
@@Pixie-v5j This is the problem with these videos by beginners. The information is wrong and misleading and then YOU think your heli is broken. Your heli does not have an INVERT feature as described in this video. It can only fly inverted in manual mode.
@@Pixie-v5j Fair enough. UA-cam videos will help you, but as a beginner yourself, you should research the information exactly or else you are just making a video that is full of inconsistencies and mis information, then your video helps no one... Just saying.. Also, at 50 minutes, it is way too long... (for the next one keep it to 15 - 20min max)
On take off, it sounds like you took off slightly too soon. On start up, the engine sound increases, then levels out, that's the time to take off safely. Good flight in that blue sky landscape. The Bell 206 Jet Ranger a great looking helicopter, Fly Wing did a good job. It shook on take off due to the slippery wood heli pad.
Yes, thank you😃 I have only use the Rc helicopter 3 times and on the 3rd time the helicopter GPS started to Give me problems. Now I don’t know what is the problem right now, i heard, maybe i need a new GPS☹️ I really need to learn how to fly in 3d now 😁
Going in a circle until the light stays a solid green is for orientation. So the helicopter can face the right direction in relation to the remote control.
@OneZoNinja this is just to check the gps functionality is working and to double check it has a good lock without any interference..... 👍 the right direction for takeoff will always be facing into the wind....
Can’t unlock it got to Go into h1 software and I don’t think this heli is made w/ or for 3d anyway I own a few fly wings and still finding new things out about them
The blades should have the slightest amount of friction 30 degrees out in each direction from their 180 degree natural position. They need to move freely into their position. My Bell 206 V3 has no shaking or vibration. I adjusted until I felt some friction at 30 degrees.

Liked your video. I recently got the Airwolf version. Going to try it out in the desert this weekend.
Bei min 18:13 , das ist die haube ( canopy) , das ganze ist der rumpf ( fuselage)
Its shaking as your blades are too tight. Change the 3D mode to ATT mode to fly the heli if GPS is lost. Ive made many videos on this subject.
Is there a way to adjust the RTH altitude? Default is 15 meters.
At 10 min you mention switching on the 3D in the software. However the Hi scale as fitted to the Bell does not have that feature. Regards

It might fit into the radio controller to recalibrate it to different settings to.
The key might be a pin to push in the buttons that are sometimes recessed, like for binding?
At 33.30 you say it has telemetry. It doesnt have any.
Key is most also used to recalibrate the modes and settings with on the servo's and hand held radio controller to that's programming app.
I would say it's for changing out the blades with and calibration of the helicopter both.
Do you have a link to the voltage meter …

great review, the only i dont like about the heli, is the tail direct drive brushless motor. You can hear it scream like a Bee!! 🐝
At 11.41 you mention connecting the radio to computer via USB and change settings. That's not true
@@tumadsvids indeed you are correct, no usb cable is required to be inserted into tx to change settings, you only need to connect usb c to heli.....
your blade need to tight so when you shake on its side they dont fall. that is why your helicopter shook a littel bit during take off.
That 🗝️ key most likely unlocks that upside down fly feature on the radio controller.
Can’t unlock it got to
Go into h1 software and I don’t think this heli is made w/ or for 3d anyway I own a few fly wings and still finding new things out about them
Lol
Lol!!
I thought I read someone had a blade on upside down and didn't realize it. He had the shake too. Let us know what you find..
It’s blades to tight or I’ve had new helis from flywing we’re the main rotor shaft was faulty causing wobbles from hell
The blades should have the slightest amount of friction 30 degrees out in each direction from their 180 degree natural position. They need to move freely into their position. My Bell 206 V3 has no shaking or vibration. I adjusted until I felt some friction at 30 degrees.
At 34,50 yoh say its bound yet nothing moves. Also wrong. Its already bound before you switch it on. Nothing is moving because you are in GPS MODE
@@tumadsvids indeed this is true too..... think some edits are needed 🤣
It's A landurd strap.
That heli is either really big, or the pilot is really small, or perhaps it's a bit of both, lol.
It’s both 😂 you made me laugh, thank you for your comment and for watching my videos, Happy thanksgiving😁
