Flying a Flywing Huey with DJI FPV Goggles!

[@nrnoble]

What I find interesting is that this RC helicopter does directly include, or support, cameras. Speculating, I would guess that most RC hobbyists want to video record their flights without creating their own video attachments solutions (cameras, batteries, tape, glue, etc) that is not part of the original design. This is not a complaint, just an observation.

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Looks like it was a lot of fun! It's a great looking aircraft, and seems to fly really well.

[@miboxed]

Wow, this is incredible! I've always wanted to try FPV flying, and this video makes it seem so accessible. The Huey V4 looks like a great option for beginners, and the FPV setup is really impressive. I especially love the idea of using the autonomous mode to do tricks and maneuvers. I'm definitely going to check out more of your videos to learn more about FPV flying and drones in general.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks! The RC Hobby is a blast and the more you learn, the more fun you can have.

Fun video ! 😃 Very cool Cap, Great footage !

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Many thanks!

[@DAHBgraphy]

that landing sound though :D

[@Raptor50aus]

Steve you need to buy some "Flytron" strobes which are the correct scale for your heli.

[@sumner407]

I like it when you try experiments such as this. Very entertaining video. 👍👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ericroeding2512]

I am so jealous you get to do this for your job I wish I could do it but I am now so handicapped I can't even get out of the house to even get out and fly I love your videos and keep buying drones that you review my wife is ready to kill me because I keep getting dron6 I have 3 more coming and I will probably never fly them plus I need small whoops so I don't have to get out of bed to fly plus I don't have much time time left keep making the great videos I have to live vicarious through you I look for your videos everyday

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks! I appreciate the support! Your love for the hobby is great! I hope your health improves so you can enjoy it even more.

[@facter5000]

could you do a review about cheap helicopters

[@Vintageheliguy]

That landing tho 💀💀😂

[@yakacm]

Ever since I started flying helis, which isn't that long ago, I always wanted to fly FPV, so to that end, I got the cheapest lightest AIO camera, and the cheapest analogue goggles and zip tied the camera to a Eachine E129, and flew the thing around my flat. It worked out OK, I can't use the FPV receiver as goggles, because of my eyesight, so I just use it as a monitor, and the E129 is the cheapest of cheap 4Ch heli, so it takes a while to get it trimmed before I can start flying FPV. I've managed to fly it from the living room to my bedroom and back a couple of times, but it's not the most accurate and tends to crash when trying to move from one room to the next thru the door frame. It's nice to fly thou, as you don't need to think about orientation.

[@antoninoarrigo2331]

Over the top

[@michaelholmes4808]

You almost need to get someone to 3D print a box of some sort that will hold your fpv camera, antenna and battery and affix as one unit to the bottom of the heli under the rotor. Self contained, transferable to different vehicles, close to c.o.g.

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

I wish I could get all these features in the md500 body at like a 250 - 450 scale

[@yakacm]

@13:03, who's that shady character standing to your left?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha, that is probably Jacques. He often ends up in a large number of my videos as he is unaware of cameras.

[@fpvpilot7713]

Man if it was Blue Thunder I would buy it for sure!

[@juki6377]

nice video, the green looks more toylike than the white. Could you do planes with FPV ? just to see what its like (or why it might be a bad idea, the heli is more drone like)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

In the RC hobby you can fly anything FPV. I do often in plane reviews. Here is one example of many examples: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp-wmpmiht6loMUsi=OtS8vVC4nAAdz3Zu

[@juki6377]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I must have missed a few 😅

[@t.s.thomas02]

I have an OMP Hobby M2 with an FPV setup. I use an inexpensive analog system with a flat panel screen. Therefore, I'm flying 'normally' basically all the time but I can cheat and look at the screen. I can and do record the flights just in case something interesting happens or I can delete the video. If I do get goggles, it will be so that my kids or grandchildren and take a virtual ride with me. Pitch and roll control is easy with FPV. Using the collective to get good vertical control on the FPV is really hard.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is a great way to experience the hobby!

[@PRODJIGUY]

i love army RC helicopters👍

[@Slithh]

Nice copter review Steve. Have you tried Gorilla double sided tape? I haven't tried Alien tape but I am interested in trying it. The Gorilla tape works well but other options are always a good thing. Thanks!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I switched to alien tape because it absorbs shocks (it is thick & like a gel) and easily peels off if you roll it.

[@Slithh]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you Steve. Pro tip! I'll pick up a roll of alien tape and give it a go.

[@jefflawhorn6013]

I noticed on your huey you don't have the little plastic pieces that go from the blade to rotor hub. Do you feel like it flys better without them? Great video by the way, like always!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Correct. Those little 3d printed parts cause the drone to vibrate. They are just there to stop newbies from putting the blades on upside down… they are not needed.

[@thatsmyrc]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798I I also wondered that as I didn’t want to put mine on but did to follow the rules. As my other smaller helis don’t have them. Also noticed that the blades are extremely snug when trying to install on head. So i actually opened the ends a smudged to get the blades not so tight in place. But since first test flight went wrong with the death wobbles w/ rods. Second test flight I had to use a set of blades for the four blade version. As that’s all I had left and that was left over spare parts from a heli that I was never shipped which I had to cancel 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@thatsmyrc]

Didn’t use rods round two as those blades weren’t made for a two blade head. Yet it did fly wouldn’t say a healthy flight more of a bottom pucker land her asap 🥴

[@stussyhuff]

Morning ❤

[@paulleniger3575]

Hi Steve, new subscriber here! I just received my v4 Huey and I’m excited to get it in the air! Question, there’s a little bag of accessories including the flybar looking piece. How and where do they all get attached? Great channel!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Those are 3D printed parts that you can glue onto the fuselage & paint if desired. Also, I'm not sure if the parts for the blades come in the same bag. You have the option of attaching the parts to the blades and top rotor or leaving them off. If you get vibrations in your heli it would be due to this. If you rewatch this video where I zoom into the top of the heli, you'll see I did not install any of them.

[@paulleniger3575]

Ahh, thanks! I do remember now from I think, Motion RC’s video on it. I think I’ll leave them off too. Thanks!!!

[@andresgr3545]

Hi, Does this olive green version 4 of the Huey also have the vibration that the white V4 had? the one that was evident in the landing of the last video?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I think I'll have to make a video to explain what causes vibration and the simple fix because I find many are confused on this subject. So in short, have a look at this video again and you'll see that I have detached the 3D printed holders on the blades of the heli. If you leave them in place, then vibrations occur because they are for show. On the White Heli, I left them in place, hence the vibrations, but on this green heli I removed them.

[@andresgr3545]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you very much for the explanation, it is clear to me. I want to buy the new olive green V4.

[@Cakey831]

How are you able to link your DJI googles to the runcam? I have a set, but thought I needed a DJI air camera to work with them.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Go watch the video I spoke about (FPV for Dummies which is Episode 13 of FPV for beginners)

[@raymondruss652]

Hi Steve, I’m just wondering if you can use the FPV goggle for drone like mini two or mini three DJI drone thanks if you answer my question because I’m new on the drone, but I would like to have a goggle.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

DJI supports a small number of their mini camera drones to use their DJI FPV goggles. All you do is go on the DJI STORE, find some FPV GOGGLES and then scroll down and read their compatibility.

[@ianyams]

U.K. rules and regulations say if you fly anything fpv you need a second person next to you as a spotter/lookout for obvious safety reasons. 👍🇬🇧

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I believe the entire world has similar rules.

[@ianyams]

​@@CAPTAINDRONE798 👍

[@SM-yr9kb]

With the weight, this thing has to be registrered and we need a licence

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Well yes, of course. This is not an under 250 gram Heli 😂😂😂

[@wowblackhawk]

When adding a lead for the camera for just power, how abouts do you have it wired? Just positive and negative terminals, or are you adding a second ground for the antenna?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Just positive/negative

[@sheiladavis2304]

It's pretty cool. Is that the frame rate that makes the FPV cam and your hand held make the blades look so slow but the action camera on the tail didn't do it. I'm not to hip on cameras but the frame rate came to mind. I was going to get the Apache but the Huey looks bigger and seems to come with all of the same features except LiDAR. What one do you like better Steve?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yup, just different refresh rates of the cameras. I like the Large Huey because size looks cool in flight, however you need more space to fly. The Apache requires much less space and is not as scary in flight.

[@Brudlikeyou]

yo Steve can you put a fpv camera in the cockpit of the rc ov 10 bronco please I'm a big fan of your video

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If you have the knowledge then yes

[@Brudlikeyou]

Wait what do you mean by that

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

@@Brudlikeyou??? It means, if you have the knowledge of placing an FPV Camera on any RC item, then yes, placing one in the cockpit would work. Please watch my vid: FPV for beginners episode 13

[@cmtwgrdk2748]

Would it be possible to feed the signal from the 360 camera into a vtx,and get a stabilized picture in the googles ?? or is the stabilizing done afterwards ?? ,, i have a Beebbob drone, and it has a 180 camera , and is stabilized with no gimbal

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The insta360 can't send out a signal compatible with the FPV hobby.

[@ronaldcobbs5260]

Interesting but a bit dangerous. I think I'd rather flying it line of sight but perhaps still mount an onboard camera for aerial video

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

Hey bro ive wat hed a lot of your videos. Ao i just got the C189 heli for my first one for practice and im already wondering which one im going to upgrade to Lol What md500 do you think will be big enough to carey the FPV camera? Or so you think the c189 will be powerful enough to carry it?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Yes, this heli could carry an FPV camera

[@Truth.Love.Liberty]

@ which one would you recommend for the c189? Ideally, I want something in 4K. The smaller the better within reasonable price I don’t think the run cam will be light enough do you?

[@sergiub4013]

It’s work with dji googles 2 ?
