Flywing Bell 206 Beginner's guide. Everything you need to know.

[@ady-uk7150]

I've completed your mods with my transmitter and pleased to report all working good. Thank you Mike for all your information you share about these FlyWing helis. A great tip too about launching the gentle take -offs.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Glad to help

[@flyboy7534]

I want to say, I got my Bell about 3 days ago, and spent a day following your tips, excellent!! thanks. I want to add that during my first attempt at trying the "O" circuit using the switch, when I flipped the switch back to normal, I think I advertently flipped the stop run switch to off!......12 foot drop right out of the air....splat!, right on the ground. Amazingly, no damage, checked it over real good, and flew later to confirm what I did with the switch. I subsequently took my Dremel tool and cut the run switch to half its height so it would be harder to move. I now have an hour on her with no further issues.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Well there you have it then, just as I was saying. get rid of the automated routes and enjoy flying your heli yourself :) :) Happy hovering

[@waynevanwyk2561]

Attitude mode is a life saver. I've tried 3D on the Bell 206 but it was scary and with my intermediate skills I would not be able to save the helicopter in this mode. Flying in attitude mode was remarkably stable. Thanks for the advice👍

[@FuBaNaToR]

Just got one, Thank you SOOO MUCH ! You are amazing Sir!

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Much appreciated

[@BikoBangs]

Really informative vid Mike, well explained and easily understood. Love your relaxed style. Observational note: when you were explaining the GPS calibration your radio was out of shot on the odd occasion which for noobs might be a little worrisome but it never detracted from the main goal. Awesome job, well done bruv 👏🏾🚁👌🏾

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Thanks brother

[@bernhardschedel4316]

Thank you for your fantastical Video. Perfect !!!

[@ady-uk7150]

I've just found your channel from Tucker T's. This is the 1st video I've seen on reprogramming the transmitter. I'm going to do your changes to mine, using your excellent step by step guide. I'm a novice with a Fly Wing B206 Jet Ranger V3.

[@tumadsvids]

Hi. The numbers are not random, they are pre determined as described in the video. Thanks fir watching.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Welcome aboard!

[@johnclark7394]

Just received my 206, and I’m glad I came across your videos. I’m returning to the RC hobby after being out for many, many years. If you don’t mind, I do have a question. Can you set up 4 flight modes? I’d like to set up the 3 position as GPS (top), 6G (middle), and RTH bottom. However, while in GPS have the 2 position GPS (top), ATI (bottom). Then have the 2 position default to the same as the 3 position when in 6G and RTH. Will this flight controller/ radio do that? Thanks in advance. Again, your videos have been a wonderful asset.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Hi. Yes you can have GPS 3D RTH on 3 pos switch and GPS ATT on switch D. Make sure to check all positions and assign the values accordingly. Regards

[@johnclark7394]

@ I truly appreciate your response. I’m impressed with the machine as it is. However, your tutorials have made me realize there is far more than meets the eye. As a non sponsored review / tutorial you have done this product an eminence justice. Thank you for taking the time with such great detail. I have zero doubt your efforts will result in my success with this product.

[@thatsmyrc]

👍👍👍👍👍Follow every word of this Mikes advise and pass this link to all you know getting into flying gps. He is a encyclopedia of knowledge. From my own experience flying new to these gps H1 flywing helicopters. Mike has helped me tremendous amounts to get my feet wet again without all the frustration that can easily come along with flying helis. My next buy is the bigger printer for that beautiful fuselage your designed in backdrop ;-)

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Kind words, many thanks

[@heli-mad-paul]

Well done Mike, great information here :)

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rcsfinest1883]

Hi Mike, awesome explanation of the set up of the heli my question is I have bought the Roban 450 the Roban 500 and I am building a T-Rex 700 all with the H1 all BNF so how do I set the transmitter up using the fly sky fs- i6s ant reciever fs-ia6B what settings do I put in the transmitter thanks.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

HI. pls check my channel there is a radio setup video already. Kind regards

[@ScottBusby-pf3np]

Great video Mike, am thinking of getting one as my first RC Heli. Did flywing say when they may be changing out the radio with the new style with the different power off button instead of a switch ? Thanks

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

In the new version for sure

[@JohnB-r6c]

Very well made tutorials Mike, thank you. Question; do you know where within the menus of the FS-i6S the RTH altitude can be changed from 10 meters to something more practical ( 5 meters) for those of us who do not need the heli to go to 10 meters high before returning to home position?

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

There is no such setting. Regards

[@won-woolee9988]

Your video is very useful. Thank you very much. Please set this video subtitle

[@LesterStanislas]

Do you have videos of blade balancing.Hailing from the Caribbean

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

I dont no. there are a lot of other videos on that already

[@doehri]

Thank you so much for giving this information I consider to buy one but the only thing is the price it cost 744,45 euros to send it to europe from bangood with out any import duties ,so complete it wil cost over the 1000 euro that is far away for a beginner. But anyway is good to see how important it is to check everything the only thing what I don't understand is they call it direct drive ,but it has a big black plastic main gear next to the engine so why does it call direct drive ? other thing is is not a big issue but after a couple time you need to change the main gear is made of plastic and will wear out faster.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Whomever is calling it a 'Direct Drive' is mistaken. It is NOT a direct Drive. You can forget that notion. Main gear will not wear out faster as it has the correct tolerance between it and the pinion gear. The gears are not high torque like an RC Car for instance, they are just rotating constantly at a constant speed. So, nothing to worry about in that department. Cheers.

[@Tucker_T]

But direct from Flywing all rates and duties are included in the price and you'll get better support when buying direct. I get mine sent to the UK and pay about £600 (€700) per model delivered to my door. Yes they are not cheap but they are worth every penny. Trust me as a beginner these helis will save you a fortune in repairs as they are not as difficult to fly as a standard collective pitch helicopter.... The plastic gears last longer than you say too, my FW450 has 500+ minutes on the clock and still has the original gear. I will replace it next season but you certainly don't need a new one every few flights....

[@doehri]

@@Tucker_T I live in the Netherlands, here here we pay a lot of import duties the customs checks are randomly if your'e lucky you will pass other wisse you have to pay import duties with declaration costs.

[@Tucker_T]

@doehri the uk is no different upto 27.5% import duties on some purchases. But when you buy direct its all in the final price. Check the website it clearly states all import fees included. If your in Holland use motion rc they have flywing helicopters under €700 and their stock is held in the Netherlands no import needed as its already in your country....

[@DemopVWgarage]

Mike thank you for this video, im still waiting to buy one of these bell units. Question can you just buy the guts and put it in another shell?

[@earlskie2u]

what is attitude mode? I just bought one online and my only guide of flying it is through tutorials like this.. thank you

[@tumadsvids]

Please check all my tutorial videos I explain it multiple times. regards

[@erisaman2]

Thank you (from this soon-to-be 80 year old) for your advice, support and clarity re the revision of the tx settings. Having watched a couple of FlyWing crashes caused by inadvertent ‘switching off’ - would it be appropriate to shorten (half height) that particular switch (a Dremel comes to mind) as the switch is operated in a positive move at start and finish, and not needed in actual flight?

[@tumadsvids]

Hi. I would not do that in case if emergency and rather ignore and never use the automated flight modes on swith B. That way your reaching in that direction will only have one purpose. Regards

[@erisaman2]

⁠Thank you for prompt response - I’m smiling somewhat, as I’d already decided that, when I do a figure 8, I will be the pilot - it was my greatest love when flying my Trex 500 - sweeping seamlessly from end to end on my local rugby pitch (match free). So yes, I see the logic which will apply to me, maybe less so to those who crashed.

[@keithdriggers-c9d]

Mike will the new M10 GPS module work on the older ones? I have the first versions of the Bell and the FW450. Thanks. Great video BTW.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

I, I cannot comment on that to be honest. thanks for watching.

[@andreas26575]

excellent video! I crashed mine in 3d mode. you should have uploaded this video a few weeks earlier.

[@tumadsvids]

He he. I uploaded ATT mode suggestion weeks ago. Glad you found it useful though. 😊

[@MichaelCraven-c3l]

Would you recommend atti mode on an airwolf ?

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

On all the helis, yes for sure

[@won-woolee9988]

I see subtitles in your other videos, but I don't see any subtitles in this video.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

hit the Gear icon, then SUBTITLES, then English (AUTO GENERATED). regards

[@won-woolee9988]

Strangely, only this video doesn't auto-translate. Anyway, thank you for this detailed helicopter description😊​@@Mikes-tuts-rev

[@wh909]

What do you prefer the airwolf or bell 206? I’m torn between the two.

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Bell for sure. Best heli of the lot

[@dankfrog1]

Hello I ordered one of these and I will make the changes you suggest to attitude mode however the calibration is a little confusing to me when you took it outside we didn't get to see what you were doing also is that the receiver that came with it or did you attach a different receiver I'm a little confused on the whole calibration process is it possible I could change to attitude mode without calibrating

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Hi. enter calibration mode on radio and move all sticks. Enter calibration mode on software and move all sticks. That is the stock receiver. You can bypass all the calibration and change to ATT mode as it is calibrated from the factory. This is just a precautionary step. Regards

[@davepearce8279]

Hi mike wish I'd seen your videos earlier crashed my Roban Airwolf 450 by flishrc and ruined the fuselage would it be possible to install the workings from that into the bell 206

[@tumadsvids]

Hi. Sorry to hear about your crash. Mechanics won't fit into the Flywing fuselage. You'd need to get a Roban compatible one. Regards

[@davepearce8279]

Okay Mike thanks for your reply keep up the videos very useful

[@won-woolee9988]

Yes indeed. Regards

[@gluckett72]

Why would you call this a beginner's guide when you have already switched out internals and modded things?

[@Mikes-tuts-rev]

Im not a beginner, so this video is for beginners. Changing parts do not make the principals described in this video irrelevant. Regards

[@justsomedoodwebby75]

Great tutorial. I can tell you that it is an awesome helicopter and can take a beating. Here is where I crashed mine (it still flies) due to total pilot error. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3rCkoKhoLtnp5Y
