What have you been doing today Grandma. Ohh just flying my chopper 🧐😆. Having gps and sensors is great but the flight time is a no go for me. It looks like you could get a larger battery in it but that would only add a couple minutes. Thanks Captain

[@Falasi4]

Wow that is an amazing piece of tech! Helicopters are probably the hardest to fly even in video games so being able to fly like that out of the box is very impressive. I've never considered an RC heli since I knew it would be instant scrap but this one is exceptional.

[@arasykeysha]

In inverted mode all on controller inverted also? Example to fly up we pull down the left stick, and to move forward we push back the right stick (in tail in flight)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, the default is everything inverted

[@arasykeysha]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 one more, i fly smart inverted, but my helicopter is always descend, seem it have lost power, is this maybe because in app i sett my motor speed in inverted mode to 50?i see from alisanmao yutube, he set on 65,how about your helicopter?

[@tomthumb9994]

Capt Drone, Will any battery or most batteries fit in any drone? for instance; a 7.4v battery from 1 drone into any other drone that has a 7.4v battery? same with 3.4v to another of the same type & so on.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Nope... All batteries in the Helicopter and FPV Drone and RC Plane hobby are of a different shape and size to fit the various products. This is why if you buy batteries on AMAZON, you first search by how many cells you want (2 cell, 3 cell, 4 cell, 6 cell) and then the mAh (450 mAh, 850 mAh, 1000 mAh, etc), then the connector type. When you find the list of batteries that match what you want, you then look at the shown dimensions of all the results and find the one that fits your needs.

[@anhdungvu3633]

Hello Captain Drone, I would like to know, is there anyway to have a warning (beeping) sound come from the remote control rather than from the helicopter itself when the helicopter's battery is low. Because when flying far away I cannot heard the warning sound from the helicopter. Thank you.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If the helicopter does not send that information to the remote control, then the answer is no.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening nice video cool review

[@BeEhUmBLe7945]

Capt. I think it's a fiberglass?

[@Slithh]

Wow! What an incredible flying machine! It's a bit out of my range but hey, most stuff is! It looks well worth the price and for a new heli flyer, it makes you look like a Pro Cap'n! I would love to try one of these someday. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@FahadKhan_3007]

That was really impressive Steve! The FW200 RC Helicopter by Flywing is amazing! It costs a bit less than 500 dollars which is neither too cheap nor too expensive for a product like this. It flies beautifully and is really stable with that GPS system altitide hold! Wind resistance is so good as well as the Acrobatics of the Helicopter surprised by too much as I didn't really knew that RC helicopters can fly in that Nightmarish way! Lol The Controller looks really good and high tech and is rechargable which is another pro point. 20 mins flight time on one 850 mAh battery is too much! I like the fact that it also has precise GPS RTH just like those professional Camera drone! Also the optical flow sensors are cool! Well, I didn't knew that it weighs that much, 356 grams as I expected it to be lighter! That means it is going to be a powerful stable flier even in some windy conditions! Overall, I liked it very much and it is definitely the RC Helicopter to start flying with!

There is but it appears to be unnecessary for the function of the helicopter, unless there are problems.

My grand daughter (now 18) was incredible with tiny helicopters when she was about six. She’d love it. Would it have enough power to carry a small camera such as the Insta360 Go2?

There is a reason people don't fly helicopters FPV... the reason is that helicopters are scary and unbalanced. However, when a helicopter has a built in GPS for stability, you probably could add an FPV unit to it.

Hi Captain DRONE , can you please tell me if there is a good battery that can give me more flight time and tell me which one pls

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, there would easily be a battery that gives you longer flight time, but only slightly longer. You just need a battery with more mAh that you can strap in place.

5 to 6 min, and you can increase it slightly with a larger battery

Inverted flight without having to learn. Next we will be scheduling them to fly while we nap. I'm teasing of course, this likely is an awesome trainer but you can get same results on a sim.

Not a cheap toy, but good choice for those who want to try helicopter right from the good one. Looks as premium product. A little lenghty RTH, but landing very safe. It's not need precision if the beginner can land it to the point manually. Hesitate between this and much cheaper Echine. Thanx for idea!)

FPV drone comparision to 3d heli is literally apples and oranges. Started with 3d heli 15 years ago, went to drones after scoffing at them about 10 years ago (p2 sold me back then with cinematography) and back into 3d helis. There's mountains more you have to think about with flying heli, and you need to learn at least 4 new orientations, not that orientation is much of a consideration with fpv drone, so really you've got to learn 7 more, but I know you know your right side up orientations). Keep practicing! I'm not sure I would recommend this heli, it will be too easy, even encouraging, to develop bad habits. If you're just using it to practice right side up orientation and doing circuits, you could accomplish the same effect with any GPS quad out there and still learn the same bad habits.

Sounds like you were a beginner helicopter pilot. It drifted because it did not have a GPS Lock or someone accidently took it out of GPS mode. A few of the guys at my field have those and they are all new helicopter pilots. One guy accidently put his in 3D mode and crashed it. As a new helicopter pilot, you can always expect things to go wrong just due to inexperience in not knowing what to do in any scenario. Finally, in CHINA there is no such thing as a Warranty for such events, so I'm not sure what they can do for you. Banggood can't do anything because the Helicopter is made by OMP HOBBY.
