This FPV RC Helicopter has GPS & Optical Flow Stabilization - F09-S - Review

[@BigSFun]

A helicopter that flies like a drone, comes with a sweet case and is highly detailed, what’s not to like? Really cool!

[@ChrisZwolinski]

@@marshallwoodford 😁😁 I’ve already got my lottery tickets for this one. Gotta move that tail wheel forward where it belongs since the USCG flies Jayhawks and the Navy flies Seahawks. Yes I am a nit picker.

@@mr.sinister1279 And u can wrap it and put coast guard emblems on it!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@thedanpalen1]

As a prior USCG H60 mechanic/aircrew, I approve 🙂 pretty cool. It does need four tail rotor blades instead of two and a hoist and the external fuel tanks for accuracy. Would be cool to see it fly over water. That’s pretty cool.

[@bugsy742]

Bro what a cool and rewarding job 👍🤝 I agree she’d look incredible over water 👍✊😍

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@D R Yep. I seriously doubt that optical flow will work any better with 1 big and 1 little rotor disturbing the surface of the water rather than 4 smaller ones! 😉 As to "GPS accuracy is worse on the Z axis" I don't know about this model but most of these Senior Citizen's Toys use an onboard barometer for height control. 😊 Also (though I may have missed mention of it in the video) the quick badly focused look at the Destruction Manual seemed to show that the Transmitter could be easily switched between left and right throttle control and 2 Rates are also available. Not exactly sure what the "up" position of the switch 5 is for either. The Manual's description of its operation is the usual Chinglish Clear As Mud! 🙄

[@RadianXL2023]

Now, they are offer 4 blade tail rotor, that You can change

[@MrLabrizzle]

@theoztreecrasher2647 Ahem, I believe it's pronounced "Chingrish". And yeah that's annoying however, for the money I think it's pretty cool.

[@bugsy742]

IKR!!!! it’s nuts how much of a market is being missed!, the amount of helis/trucks/cars/tanks we’ve all fpv’d over the years is crazy! It’s how I got into Quadcopters actually from FPVing my Axail trucks and adding Crossfire 😃👍

nice video i am thinking about getting a helicopter like the one your are flying,but my purpose is to fly slow take off and land make circles and get use to the helicopter and become a good pilot,i do not like flying fast because of my eye problem so nice and slow as she goes mr. spark.and another thing a beginner needs to learn the basic of ground work,setting the gps and calibrate the transmitter before take off.

Ok can some one plz tell me waht optical flow is cuse I have no idea

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

It is on many products that fly autonomosly and is used for indoor and outdoor stable flying. Essentially it is a tiny camera that is on the bottom of the product and it looks at the ground and keeps what it sees in frame by telling the flight controller to move left, right, forward, backwards and the end result is a product that stays still in the air, indoors or outdoors. The limitation is that since it is a camera, shooting an image, it only works at heights of 1 foot up to about 12 feet.

[@olphartcoastie8719]

Nice review. As noted by another person, the name is "Jayhawk." It's designation was originally HH-60J but they were converted to MH-60J in 2007. The "cargo doors" are crew doors.

Beautiful UH-60 Coast Guard heli. I just purchased and want to know how do you charge the battery...the manual is not helpful. Do you charge with the battery off and just monitor until the display on the white balance/Charger goes up to 12.0 Volts. For example I started charging at 11.3 Volts and went up and stood at 12.0 Volts (within 20 minutes)....Upon turning on the battery to Check the bars...I saw 4 bars. Is this how you charge the battery..Did I do it correctly

Why after compass and gyro calibration does the heli go haywire after switching from Optical Flow to GPS, when before in GPS it flew correctly, my friends heli does the same?

Did you do a compass calibration? You should not do one on this heli because if you do it wrong then it will go out of control.

I lifted a camera. You should NEVER lift anything suspended off the bottom of a helicopter as it will always end in disaster as the helicopter attempts to compensate for the swaying motion.
