Fly Wing FW200 Smart RC Helicopter Review, Flight & CRASH!!!!!

[@nsbob70]

9:25. Dude, you missed your calling as an evil scientist or some super hero's arch villain with that laugh! Looks like a pretty cool heli! Even though this video's 2 years old, now thinking I might like one!

[@DaDuTchMan2357]

I was thinking the same thing. 2 Years old, but now I want one 😂

[@RenoLaringo]

You have a brave and lovely wife. So refreshing to see couples enjoying hobbies together. This is what team building is about ! Thumbs up guys. If you cook like she flies, you guys must literally be in heaven😊. 🙏

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you so much!

[@rupertmr]

love this servo geometry plus full metall servos...

[@feefeee]

Better if the antenna is bent, you want the long side to fave the heli, the signal isn't coming from the tip. But it's not a big deal if you're flying in your backyard

[@sashaV55]

Love this video! Crash, repair and novice flying is exactly what we need.

[@HelidirectRC]

Absolutely!

[@stevejackson3564]

Awesome. All other videos show how things work or even crash & how easy it will be to repair. This helicopter is very clean & has hardly any parts to replace. No belts or gears to break. Your video is what I was hoping to see, no experience what so ever. She will have fun, and I will, to once I get it ordered. Thanks for a great video. Wow American helicopter makers are losing big money.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Hey the controls for this are normal heli right? For someone reason, instruction manual on your website shows the elevator on left stick and rudder on right stick! Never seen that before!

[@capalong]

Excellent Video Sean and NewBee.. You are a Very Good Brave Teacher with Patience. Love the RC (Real Crash} part. Since you don't have the emanual, if you move the right stick; left then right then left then right...the FW200 will INVERT at 10 meters height.. Fly Inverted with same movements for forward, reverse, right and left as you would in normally...no reverse "tinking"..

[@HelidirectRC]

Wow

[@HeRacesTheSun]

Great display of this amazing heli thank you !! And so cool that she was willing to try flying it, and that you showed her how!

[@Jabanoflier]

Nice that's a cool heli. Congrats to your friend too bet she's hooked now lol

[@HelidirectRC]

Yep!!

[@pc3983]

What a great heli , I’ve just ordered one after watching this . 👍

[@jetking3079]

Would like a video how to set up with a futaba radio, thanks.

[@ryanlemons3255]

so tempting to get over the flywing 450 size im a little nervous about the bigger boys

[@HelidirectRC]

It’s a very nice Heli!

[@mmmasterscross7915]

Great video! Thanks for sharing this video review! When does Heli Direct hope to have spare parts available?

[@HelidirectRC]

China is now in lock down. May take a while 😬

[@jabari877]

Bought one from you guys on Monday it'll be here Wednesday 👍🏾

[@R3L72]

Awesome Review!

[@mckee2jeff]

Fantastic full review!!!

[@HelidirectRC]

Thank you!

[@bothwellja]

Ok I gotta ask. Is that Towanda Braxton at the end? I showed my wife and she agrees. On the review. I used to fly helis. But the learning curve is deep if you want to do fly 3d. $$

[@HelidirectRC]

Lol yes! That’s Towanda Braxton:) she now is a rc heli flyer. Also, yes I would start small and work your way up to 3d:)

[@bothwellja]

@@HelidirectRC working her up to tick-tocks and inverted hovering. lol That's cool.

[@BrGoBu]

Looks like a fun heli to fly. There seems to be some confusion (other online post), whether or not this product comes with instructions (or an app)? Would hate to buy it with no manual?? Can you confirm that this heli comes with such information?

[@HelidirectRC]

The first batch with limited kits (only 10 available) did not come with manual and apps as it was not ready due to Chinese New Year, but all these will be ready by major launch in mid March 2022

[@mmmasterscross7915]

@@HelidirectRC Thank you so much for clarifying that they were only 10 models in the first batch. I've asked all the hard questions from Helidirect and nobody had any answers. So sad come here that from a company that I purchased and awaiting a shipping out my new FW200 model.

[@RCsbyRich]

Great video. Flies superb. And thanks for that bonus crash. Can I ask if you have recorded the flight time on the 1500mah battery pls.

[@HelidirectRC]

With easy flying was able to get 12 minutes

[@RCsbyRich]

@@HelidirectRC thankyou. On a standard battery?

[@falopio67]

level gps featture can be turned off and fly like a regular heli?

[@jimanezagnew8788]

Do you know if the radio can be used with a simulator?

[@arasykeysha]

Is this direct brushless to main blade?

[@joshandersons6914]

if they made a scale like the Fly Wing HUEY H-1 but smaller version, that would be super, I'll buy it no question ask

[@05rickie]

Question ?,one video says you must calibrate the compass for the GPS Via. the APP to work properly,when properly calibrated the green light at the back of the Heli will blink then turn solid,what do you know about this ?

[@HelidirectRC]

We have not been able to correctly access the app. So our knowledge is limited

[@05rickie]

@@HelidirectRC Thank you

[@parker1ray]

Flywing cheaped out and only sent me one nut and no rotor blades or tail rotors. Also it appears they sent you the 1500mah battery and I only got a single 850!

[@sandromino4912]

Molto bello! Quanto Costa!

[@luzibin]

Be careful in GPS mode, the power is lost halfway through the flight.

[@05rickie]

Just received my FW200 today 6/1/22 after waiting a month and a half,I ordered the yellow from HeliDirect,upon opening the box I noticed the FW200 did not have carbon fiber landing skids,the skids are yellow made of some kind of plastic,also there was no spare break away nuts,the nuts are under the motor, designed to break away upon a crash,I see your FW200 has carbon fiber skids and a package of spare break away nuts,What happened with mine ??

[@HelidirectRC]

We don’t take parts out of the kits. That was a pre-release we will try and get you the parts you need please contact our support

[@stephenrout9025]

hi what about spaires as at some point you will crash it and info on li-po as only come with 1

[@HelidirectRC]

China is in lock down. It may be in a month or so

[@djnitor]

It's Alliiiive!!!

[@parker1ray]

Isn't elevator for planes? Would it not be pitch?

[@HelidirectRC]

It’s for both.

[@parker1ray]

@@HelidirectRC I am used to all the multirotor guys saying pitch and plane guys say elevator, potaito, potato LOL!

[@metaljacket2000]

is there any other bigger helicopter?

[@HelidirectRC]

Yes the 450

[@serverlan763]

can you get it in mode 1?

[@HelidirectRC]

I believe you can make it more 1 in the settings.

[@mateozorro2461]

Be careful of the android app it doesnt work properly. Ive had to switch to an i-os phone and my ipad both worked the first try. For some reason the android app displays the changes but the chnages dont save priperly to the FC...

[@WatsitTooyah]

No BNF version?

[@HelidirectRC]

I don’t believe so

[@raymhuang]

Way to go!!

[@CRUZROYHelicopters]

can i purchase that one after test....

[@HelidirectRC]

My wife won’t let it leave the house lol

[@mateozorro2461]

Quick question...my FW200 for some reason it wont go into expert mode when inverted. Every time I set expert in the app it doesnt respond like its in expert, but stays in beginner. Ive tried starting in acro and it still stays in beginner mode. I check the app amd each time it says expert...Does anyone have amy suggestions? Btw its the RTF version and controller...

[@mateozorro2461]

Its fixed!!!!! We ended up using another device to program the setting. I originally had an Android phone app and it would display that it was in expert mode however it would not fly as of it was. By changing to an i-os phone and app we attempted the same thing. This time it worked perfectly the forst time...I have a belief that the android version of the app is bugged so be careful.

[@djlouis7402]

Yeah I bought one from banggood took it for a flight my son and i took it in air for no reason it started to drift away very quickly then we lost it we contacted banggood I told them what happened and told them they sold me a defective unit banggood wanted to do anything I paid $450. Just had it only 3 days really sucks. Really disappointed by banggood

[@parker1ray]

It takes mine around 5 minutes to get a lock!

[@HelidirectRC]

Really?!

[@willscp]

Nice flying! Also...She's Hot xD

[@gregharter8212]

Had over 5 hours on mine and then a sudden crash whiile inverted. NO reason why. Looked on the internet and several why this would happen. Made those changes and happened 2 more times. With normal flight, it flies great. Go inventoried and you are screwed. No good reason wjy.

[@jeffrenman4146]

Firstly a fun video thanks… But anybody this is my comment this is not learning to fly a helicopter. All the fun of what a helicopter is doesn't exist with this GPS turned on… It's just a drone. Speaking of drones I have two of them I never fly them the two boring because they are fully automated. Good for cameras but that's it. I went back to fixed wing aircraft no Gyro at all or GPS or anything because they're easy anyway but at least you're in control. I can also fly RC helicopters have done so for years without any thing except the tail hold Gyro everything else was nothing on the pilot. I just finished purchasing two helicopters from Bang Good and they're going to be a blast so I'm getting back into it again. Because the helicopters today are so high performance it's insane. But my point is you'd be better off to fly a cheap drone to learn orientation but that's only a little part of it… The feel of an RC helicopter one that's real is where the fun lies. To deny that she might as well just stay with the drone
