SO COOL! Fly Wing Huey UH-1 Version 3 - Review Part 1

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello Captain, I did a very thorough checklist and realized that the cable connected to the receiver was connected with reversed polarity, after correcting everything it worked perfectly and I already did a flight test, everything went fine. Thank you for your information and teachings. Thank you and big hug.

[@patriotrising6214]

R/C Helicopters have come along way indeed . Simplicity, stability , equal success !

[@BrGoBu]

You my friend have all aspects of reviewing a RC aircraft down to a fine science. All the camera angels with muliple cameras (a drone view too), graphics (pointing arrows), narration, editing, exposure, volume control, flying field conditions and flying skills are absolutely as professional as it gets!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@Didjeridoolove]

Whew!!!! But the price… well😮.. looking forward to pt2👍🏼

[@StingraysVideos]

I just got mine today and it is an awesome heli. Another great video Steve. Will be watching the flying duo, Captain and Jedi, in part 2! 🤠🤠

[@NAVYABHAN]

I have been watching you since the days of the Phantom 4 Drone. Your explanation of everything is informative and inspiring. Because of you, I purchased and still have the Phantom 4 Obsidian Version.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Wow, that is very cool!

[@RR-zq3mk]

This is even more expensive then that coast guard gps/fpv heli you reviewed earlier. For this price and size it should be fully automated to fly away and bring me back some tacos.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

This is extremely large and powerful compared to the coast guard heli

[@helidan6505]

Yes Sir ! I like 👍

[@helidan6505]

I have flown it and it's great 👍

[@dextardextar]

i like the little start up gyration on the swash plate

[@Slithh]

That is fantastic! A GPS, user friendly out of the box helicopter! I honestly tried to guess how much it would cost and my guess was $1200.00 U.S.. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is under $800! That is very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. I can't wait for the manual flight video! Thanks for the great video and making us all want one of these beastly copters!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The manual flight video can be viewed at any time. Just search for Part 2.

[@dradden1556]

I finally just delivered mine. The new v3. Your right. It's very cool. 👍. Thanks for the honest reviews. I made sure I put the blades on right . Lol

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Enjoy!

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve....That's quite the Helicopter. Love the size if it..........👍

[@helidan6505]

Yes Sir, I bought 1 this is so cool looking I hope it works out ! I'll buy another! Great 👍

[@RCCopterLove]

Hi, this machine looks really nice in the air but somehow for me as a traditional collective pitch RC heli pilot it was so rewarding to learn to fly these things by myself. Of course it took a lot of time, patience, practicing and perserverance to learn flying my helis. But at least for me the way was the goal. Maybe not when crashed often and broke my birds... but from todays perspectice it is great to have learned flying from the first few "hops". But for sure its good that things are a bit easier now. Hope the technology never fails.

[@ryanlemons3255]

meh i just want to fly scale lol

[@sumner407]

Beautiful reproduction and would hold my interest for about an hour of flying after that I would go back to my drones. Little steep on the price, but am sure it would perfect for the purest of helicopter fans. Thanks for the video😊

[@KTHKUHNKK]

[@alvintarrer6914]

Like the heli I was born in veitnam years, lot of history that will be my next heli...good job brother 👍🇺🇸🇨🇱✌️

[@wjc4218]

Very nice well done video on this helicopter model. Thanks!

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello captain, I want to know if I take off with this model in manual mode and stay afloat for a while and then switch to automatic GPS mode and the return home function, will it return to the takeoff location?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes. The GPS runs in the background the entire time the helicopter is powered on.

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello Captain, I'm flying until the flight battery has around 3.85v in each cell so as not to wear out the battery so much. This generates an autonomy of 10 minutes. What do you think?

[@philiphuntonphotography200]

That looks like so much fun.........you need the music from Apocalypse Now playing from it

[@ColinRussianForce]

Nice to see a helicopter, like the rota sound as it turns off. Great build. 👍

Oh my thanks for the video I seriously want this helicopter it handles so well

[@dkieng]

Great review Steve. Can you tell me if you can install an FPV camera on it. I can't fly LOS so I need to know if you can install an FPV camera like a Walksnail HD system. Thank you.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

You can install an FPV camera system on anything, it’s all up to you which RC product you install such a system on.

[@julianmclean3869]

Well done done Captain!; what a great looking Copter !; also, glad to see you are on a "Permanent Vacation" !!!!!

[@Lonsome1223]

This is good if you are new to the hobby as you get everything included But if you already have all the equipment and want an easy to fly scale model it's expensive. I have a trex 500 fbl and purchased a scale fuselage and the H1 controller they sell flies well It's bigger no noisy tail motor and was cheaper.

[@kechickens5416]

The Detail is fantastic, but the tail rotor is on the wrong side for that model of the huey. nit picky i know but still a fact. they put it on the right side when the N Model came out that's the twin engine one.

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello Captain, does the GPS of this model work here in Brazil normally without problems, without needing configuration?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is an international GPS, works anywhere

[@geoffcarr5357]

Be careful of the cabin locking pin as l noticed mine was starting to crack from the hole to the edge, have now reinforced it

[@helidan6505]

Got it .! 15 mph. Winds. I just had to unlock the remote !

[@tughillrc6327]

Nice Video Steve enjoyed watching. Its outside my fun budget.

[@123windyron]

Nice vid STEVE.the rc sailors crashed there's maybe he put the blades on backwards.

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello Captain, I went to my place today where I have a very large and interference-free airfield and carried out the process of activating the helicopter. I turned the transmitter on with all the buttons forward, connected the battery to the helicopter, waited for the servos to position themselves, put the GPS button on but the red light continued to flash quickly for several minutes, which indicates a lack of communication between TX and RX, correct? I did the binding procedure (conxion) but it didn't help. The transmitter display showed the process for several minutes but did not complete or show OK. What do you think and what should I do? Please give me a hand.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

On your transmitter remote screen, does it show the black battery voltage for both TX and RX when transmitter/heli are powered on? If so you are connected. If not then follow binding instructions.

[@alvintarrer6914]

Lil expensive, but every thing is there,thanks brother Drone 👍☕️☕️✌️

[@RandyCrickWatercolors]

Really good video.Im interested but have seen a number of 3 failures of this model right out of the box.Its a tall investment and it would be tough to walk away from a crash.Would you buy another one?Thanks for all your reviews sir!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe my friends and I have a total of 10 helicopters from Fly Wing, all using this system, new and old. None of us have ever encountered any problems. Honestly I’ve never seen one crash but if it did there is a 99.9999 chance it would be pilot error. Could be as simple as taking off and expecting to be in GPS mode but was actually MANUAL MODE (beginners can’t fly in Manual Mode). Or the common issue where there is a GPS ERROR (flashing light) but pilot never checks light. The versions that came before V3 required new pilots to pay attention to what they were doing whereas V3 is more forgiving. I tell everyone… if you watch 100 videos of a product and all is well but 3 of those videos show a crash and that is all you focus on, then this product is NOT FOR YOU because you’ll be so nervous that you will indeed cause a crash. You’d need to have someone stand beside you and coach you through a few flights to build up your confidence.

[@RandyCrickWatercolors]

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes

[@losttouristpresents]

Nice review, beautiful scale rc heli. My favorite helicopter. Thanks for the video review!

[@charlescoby5741]

My uh1 will be in this Friday, did you have hook the helicopter to the computer to change any head speed or anything else before flight?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Works out of the box. I suggest not messing with any config files until you’ve flown it a few times. That way you’ll know for certain if after you played with the config file you made things worse or better.

[@jopflah416]

I watched the movie Easy Rider while sitting on a bench made from Huey helicopter blades near Quang Tri, Vietnam in 1971. The blades or props were from crashed, shot- down or otherwise damaged helicopters. The whole outdoor movie theatre had these props which were painted canary yellow and mounted on cinder blocks.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Very cool

[@Vincent-xe7jr]

would this be suitable for a beginner and what is the maximum flying time..thank you

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is designed for beginners when flown in GPS mode. Flight time is based on battery size used (watch the video again)

[@gilsonemidio8511]

Hello Captain, to do inverted flight do you have to activate the inverted flight switch and the GPS or the inverted flight switch and the 3D?

You need to go in the software and enable it. Then you can fly high and select the invert switch.

You can use any battery you like that is the same voltage

[@Jorge-hj2tp]

Why white landing gear? I like the new gear better, but please mold them with black plastic.

[@gittarpikk]

I would bet that due to weight and pendulum effect this would make for a very good camera drone. Betting that if flown in manual mode would be like a gimble....noisy main gear though

Some grease would quiet it down I'm sure

[@apathumyala1094]

Wait for revet around fuslage. (May be version 4)

[@dradden1556]

I want to order the v3. There's different versions available. I need the complete set up and I'm right handed. But don't know which one to order. Any advice?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The radio is set to Mode 2. Mode 2 means your throttle is on the left joystick which is the most common.

[@dradden1556]

Oh ok..Thanks for the info

[@dradden1556]

When I look at the flywing uh-1, v3, it has the options to order the RTF mode 1 or RTF mode 2. So if I want the throttle on the left side stick . Should I order the RTF mode 2 one? Cause for some reason the mode 1 RTF is a little more money. I don't know the difference to which w one I should order. Also there are different companies that sell the same brand through Amazon . I don't know who I should chose. Can you help me with that . Please . I'm lost. Lol

[@neiljones4287]

Have you had any mechanical problems with your fly wing Huey?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

None. I have six FLY WING helis of all types and all fly and function perfectly (no issues so far). Usually the people that have are issues are the people with no RC hobby or RC helicopter knowledge or the ones with no skills that crash their helicopter and then blame the helicopter.

[@neiljones4287]

Well that’s awesome to hear. I have a ton of experience with Large scale RC trucks, cars and motorcycles but I have never flown anything by watching your videos on the Huey. It definitely sped interest. Mine will be getting to me on March 25. I’m looking forward to the experience other than reading the manual thoroughly. Are there. Any suggestions of things? I should check before my first flight. Also, do you know of any sites where you can get pilot figures etc. for this chopper and thank you for your response

[@RichardMilton-y5p]

What would happen if you were flying in gps mode and lost the signal , would it go into fail safe and return to home or would it become uncontrollable ?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It would do like every other drone on the planet.... It goes into return to home mode.
