WOW Has anyone else noticed the cloud formation at 4:55? Its shaped like a propeller. SPOOKY!!!

[@вечная_мерзлота]

it's called lens glare not cloud formation.

[@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.

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

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

[@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!

I assemble repair and fly remote control helicopters (gas,nitro, electric) the last 20 years and I can assure you that it is extremely difficult to fly a remote control helicopter but nowadays It is amazing where the technology went in the remote control toys.

[@lynsmith1096]

Good review again Steve. That is a nice bit of kit. Recieved my first FPV Drone today just waiting for my controller to come then the fun can begin. Wish me luck.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Best of luck. If you crash, just remember that everyone who flew an FPV drone crashed often before they trained their brain, eyes and hands to work in tandem quickly. With practice comes success!

[@-hastatus-]

That looks almost too easy to fly. It's also nice to see that the hard winter is over for you. 👍😃

[@dronedownunder652]

Good review. I always appreciate when you take the time to show the viewer what some might consider the obvious. This heli definitely has a market but not particularly for me - that flight time would drive me insane. I bought the Fly Wing H1 system and installed it on one of my existing helis. Same automated feature set goodness that you tested 👍

[@MrYardcore68]

Dope vid! Explanations make me a bit more confident

[@stepche2990]

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!)

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.

[@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.

[@bruxdlux595]

At 4:11 I'm sure I could hear the sound similar to a jet turbine spooling up! BTW kudos for the array of cameras you must have just about every angle covered.

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.

[@rrenegadoo]

Nice heli..... and excellent review.... how long is the flying time?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

On an 850 mAh battery you are looking at around 6 minutes max

@@CAPTAINDRONE798.... Thank you. 😁

[@mateozorro2461]

Im guessing its an xt30?

[@TheMrDrMs]

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.

[@carvingfool]

Great video Cap!! How do you unlock the transmitter. I just got mine and it shows a lock 🔒 icon. Thank you in advance!!

Just had it only 3 days really sucks. Really disappointed by banggood

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

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.
