I love this Flywing Helicopter. Flywing controls are different. To test the control of the swash you need to be in 3D mode. It also has a hidden blade leveling non-GPS mode.Alishanmao shows how to program it.

Brian after watching you fly that helicopter I ordered me one it's a large helicopter I can hardly wait for it to get in where I can fly it thanks Brian you and camera crew

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Excellent! Glad you did. This heli is amazing, and you'll love it!

[@stephenstumpf]

For those who plan to order: Get the 3000mah batteries. I ordered the 5000 and they are serious overkill and a PITA to get in & out. Also...... order extra Metal & Rotor gears... 1st time helo lesson 🤫 LOL.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I agree about the size of pack, and LONG flight times on 3000mah's - which is crazy actually!

[@skrub6969]

Hey Brain great video as always, just some information for you, the wash will not move in GPS mode when it’s on the ground, it will move once it’s in the air and the built in barometer reads it’s in the air. Now in 3D mode the swash plate will move on the ground and it will fly like any other fly bar less controller. Yes they have made major improvements to this version and learned from their mistakes.

[@upperechelon3456]

Excellent job Brian. This is an extremely realistic looking bird in flight. A grown man's perfect toy.😊

Both of you have a unique niche in the RC video world, really enjoy the content.🤗

[@stevetillson3268]

Excellent review, highlighting most of the fabulous positive attributes of this fine helicopter. And a tip of the cap to the videographer. Fine job! Let me emphasize to the naysayers, this helicopter is not just a "drone". The "3D Mode" allows the slightly more adventurous pilots, who want to practice more advanced maneuvers, to simply flip the switch to 3D mode and fly like any fine helicopter on the market-----but this one allows you to do that, STRESS FREE! It's called "altitude recovery". I'll explain, hopefully, with as much enthusiasm as our KZbin hosts exhibit in all their fine videos. This new feature, "altitude recovery", is found in the latest version of the Fly Wing software (version 2.0, downloadable from the Fly Wing website): You preset a desired altitude in the software where the helicopter AUTOMATICALLY switches back to GPS mode from 3D mode when you drop below a selected, preset altitude! In practice, it goes like this: pilot is trying some new maneuver in 3D mode (above 20' is a reasonable, preset, "safe" altitude barrier) and make the inevitable screw up, lose orientation, brain goes to mush and the beautiful Huey is about to poke a huge, smoking hole in the desert.......but wait: As soon as the out-of-control helicopter drops below the preset 20', it AUTOMATICALLY switches back to GPS mode and stabilizes, hands off, saving the aircraft. Extraordinary! Amazing! (This new software update can be applied to any of the FW450's--even earlier versions--not just the Huey or v.3 stock pod & boom.) We've been waiting for this "safe altitude recovery barrier" for years and Fly Wing has done it successfully! What a spectacular achievement! (It should be noted that when you switch from GPS to 3D mode, in hover or flight, there is a slight drop in altitude. Always apply up-pressure on the collective as you flip the switch.) PLEASE emphasize this incredible new "altitude recovery" feature in all of your FW450 reviews. It's truly revolutionary! Thanks, Steve Tillson Phoenix

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

WOW - THAT IS AMAZING - I NEED TO DO THAT ASAP!!!!!!! Stress free is definitely what I want, and I didn't realize that was a thing, but even without it (as I showed it - LOL / Cry) it is still AMAZING!

[@ianreed4636]

Hey Brian, check the blade tracking and make sure the blades aren't too tight in the blade grips. Also make sure the blades are tightened equally in each blade grip . Very cool Huey!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I thought I did that. I could try again. I wonder if the stabilizers are holding them in position slightly wrong???

[@ianreed4636]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Just weird how much vibration your getting. I was throwing a couple suggestions, but since you already did them must be some other issue .

[@Tucker_T]

@BrianPhillipsRC I've discovered where that spare 3d part goes.... its the base plate for the 3d part that you stuck on the tail. You are supposed to fit the little block to the tail then the spike thingy sticks to that..... hope that makes sense, Thanks for info as I'll know where to stick mine once it arrives 👍 😉 😂. 1:29:40 this part here is a base/mount for the tail spike.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Seriously?!??! That's crazy. Thanks for the heads up!

[@Tucker_T]

​@BrianPhillipsRC No worries, it seems it really "tiked you off" so I just had to find out especially as I have one enroute 😉. THATS NICE!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yeah, I can't really try it now, without pulling off the tail support, so it'll live on in my bag of goodies for the heli ;)

[@jagdpretzel]

I am buying one of these for sure. I looked at the measurements of the RC helicopter and compared them with the measurements of the real Huey UH-1C, and I figure it's about 1:23 or 1:24 scale. Here's the question: if I was to add gun/rocket pods from an old Monogram 1:24 scale helicopter model, would it cause problems for flying it? It would add a little bit of extra weight but not much.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

No, should be just fine. More stuff makes more turbulence, but this flight controller can handle it for sure! I'd love to add these rocket pods and a little machine gunner out the side - that would be so cool!!!

[@vincentcimino1963]

Another awesome video thanks Brian…I’d like to see a scale pilot and co-pilot inside there especially because of that clear glass canopy but otherwise I love it, mine is coming next week!!

[@be020964]

Brian I did find out the vibration at beginning is because the 2 main blade screws were too tight , That is per Flywing

[@NAYF76]

I was looking for a larger scale GPS heli after flying Yu Xiang Jay Hawk. This might be it. Great review as always and great camera work from camera crew guys.

[@user-tf5qw1pc9z]

Hermoso Helicoptero ❤😊

[@gianluca387]

Introduction, I don't know if it was a defect of the previous models, but on KZbin there are many videos of crashes of this helicopter, do you know if it was a defect and if so, has it been resolved on this new version? Thanks for the reply.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YES, there were, and YEAH it was bad....but they have addressed these issues, and even with our Bell 206, I swear the MFG had opened it, and made some sort of remedial changes...I couldn't see what they were, but that too has been flawless to date. So, short answer, they must have fixed what was wrong. VERY GLAD THEY DID!!!!!!!! Awesome heli!

[@andrewcollins7545]

G'day from Australia Brian. Another fantastic video mate! Just wondering what flight times you get on the batteries for this Iconic Huey Helicopter? Cheers Mate!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's hard to say, since we had one that lasted longer than the other...about 10-15 minutes is my no BS, and trying not to short change you...I didn't pay attention, but it was a LONG time. I was super nervous on the second flight, since I didn't want to land in the water or have the heli fail to make it back to HOME...so I was okay with "leaving some in the tank"...also, you can adjust the Low Voltage Return to Home feature if you use their application and the provided USB A to USB C cable to program the flight controller.

[@michaelwright6751]

Once again Brian, you have convinced me to buy one, which I just did, as I really like the other two I own, and I am sure this will be the same. Thanks again for your review.

[@jeffhunt5040]

It does kinda sorta look like a Huey

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - yeah ;)

[@RARenfield]

It's good to see they fixed the white skids. Bad to see a dedicated radio.

[@CarlosChavez-gs1ld]

It sounds like a Huey, only much smaller??? OK, OK.... I will permit this to slide by as a joke... but only this time!!! If you have never been near a really Huey before.. it is AWESOME.... FOOOOMPA FOOOOMPA FOOOOOMPA- those blades are big!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, one landed quite literally across the street. It is very LOUD and like you said - it woke up EVERYONE for blocks!

[@lewiemotorsports3616]

The v4 is definitely on my list

[@dradden1556]

I also have the airwolf version also Amazing. But the Huey is by far my favorite Heli.

[@kylekranz38]

Edit the RX gps from 1500 to 1400. It will be in ATT mode which allows altitude hold but no gps, so it'll float with the wind but give you more freedom/speed.

[@hustenbon69]

I would omit the additional fastening of the rotor blades (3D printed parts) because they cause an imbalance because the rotor blades cannot align.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I was considering that too, or at least reaming out the 3D print, or something like that...that stuff DOES stretch, but it doesn't allow for freedom of movement we'd usually enjoy on other helis.

[@outoftouch99]

I love it but them windows on that canopy make it look like it rides a special bus ,the 206 looks way better and more scale ,great work brian i might have to bite the bullet on this one n finally get airborne❤

[@tthulsey]

So awesome 🤩

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

sure is!

[@xman6394]

Nice heli, does it come with the black skids? Thinking about getting one.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Mine did, but can't say with 100% certainty yours will. I assume it's a feature of the V4...so probably.

[@ccbusa05]

You will not see swash plate movement in GPS mode! Leave transmitter in stop position and switch to 3D mode, then you get swash plate movement! Also, your camera crew has the proper start up procedure down pat!

[@77GR]

Any improvements over the Bell 206 from Flywing you reviewed? Which do you prefer to fly?

[@DamonGaskin]

Hey Brian(and flight crew), any intention of expanding into the blade fusion 700, by any chance? I see you're getting more and more into the heli's, and after your build(kit) a while ago, even for a sport flyer, it might be an interesting(and enlightening) experience and video. I just mentioned "might" due to size and cost(both, for some of course)..

13:55 These were never in M*A*S*H*..... ;) Pretty cool heli though! Rocket pods or the .30 Cal Machine guns would be a really cool touch, to add to that cool scale look. 15:00 LOL! 37:20-ish.. My Blade Fusion 360 has a very unpleasant vibration as well. Makes it kinda not fun to fly actually. I haven't gotten around to seeing what's causing it. 38:16... Waahhhh wwaaahhhhhhhh...Brian Phillps goin' a little blue on us! lol 44:39.. There's no telemetry on the screen indicating battery juice remaining? That's kinda lame..It is a seriously sweet flight time though, holy moley! I guess my only gripe from what I can see is the weird 'windows' on the front doors. They look like they didn't mask enough off when they painted it. Windows look really small. Our, Let's say, "Lilliputian" pilot would be strugglin' to see out that window! ;) (cures the P.C. Issue from earlier. lol) Very very cool, and as usual, awesome video guys! Kudos CC! 46:10 or so Yeah, now that you mention it, that tail rotor is a drawback to the scale appearance.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I just had another viewer set me straight...and now I'm embarrassed that I totally missed the mark!!! Dang it! Just had to re-watch the intro...and 10000000% wrong, I was ;( - Oh well, love this heli!

[@got2hokies]

Hey Brian, these choppers a getting a little pricey

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

They can be, but this is BIG...so even though it's NOT cheap, it's in line for this size class. Also, it's RTF. If it were PNP at this size class, it would be a lot less, but since it's a Heli-Drone, it's not going to be PNP ;) Hope this makes sense.

[@GSG-lc5zm]

The M.A.S.H. helicopter is supposed to be a Sioux H-13 (actually a converted bell 47D1) 😉 Korea not Vietnam... I don't think there was ever a huey . Maybe in the movie,, never watched it, but have seen every episode about a million times

I also plugged in a VOLTAGE ALARM JUST to be safe, since the heli seemed to fly and fly and fly...and I got more and more and more nervous, but it just didn't give in. Then I'd land to check, and she's fail to re-arm, thus telling me the battery was low. I also found out that when you put down, you HAVE to re-arm every time...not a big deal, but I may have been somewhat ambiguous about that on the video.
