[@flyhigh6591]

I want this on my T-Rex 500x it's already set up for fpv.

[@ricchatrc]

G'day, thanks for sharing. Very impressive for what it is capable of. I've been flying the one heli for over the last 8 years with over 1000 flights recorded against the Blade 400. This is finally a great step forward for those wanting to fly remote control helicopters. There's only one problem from my perspective and this is not your fault....It requires no skills, no helicopter flying or developed skill sets. New pilots should definitely not be fooled into believing they can fly a helicopter just because it has GPS/auto pilot. Eventually they will have to learn to fly the model by the seat of their pants - and this is even before they attempt 3D flight. A fantastic step forward for this area of the hobby but could create a false sense of security. As heli pilots we know that a heli requires so much more to fly confidently without crashing. It's not a quad, it's not FPV and it's not a plane. I would use this heli to learn to fly 3D - this is where I see the advantage and the benefit for myself. It is a personal thing though. I already know how to fly. Nice heli and thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the video. I'll give this heli the thumbs up nevertheless. May encourage more heli flyers into the hobby.

[@paolomartinelli9668]

Hi Ali, I agree this Heli will potentially bring a lot of new fans to the hobby. For the sake of precision, there isn't any way to fly FW450 inverted in manual (3D) mode, as there isn't the possibility to set throttle curves.. So, even in manual mode the FW450 with H1 is not a normal common pitch helicopter. It should also be clearly stated that FW450 comes with H1 Lite which doesn't allow to be used on a different heli and to set anything under the "parameters" menu of the software. This said it is a wonderful trainer heli and definitely something new!!

Can you tell or make a video which fpv system can be best in this heli?

[@spleenware]

Does it have a GPS assisted inverted mode but where the sticks are NOT reversed? ie. so you can practise inverted with all the 'normal' up=down, etc?

[@alishanmao]

yes, choose in Assist software, by connecting H1 AP to Computer. Easy mode, so in inverted GPS assisted mode, all controls stay same as i demonstrated. and if you choose Professional in Assist software, then going inverted in any mode will reverse all the controls as the normal 3D Helicopter would do.

Pull throttle stick down and out and hold for 3 seconds. see if the Green LED Starts blinking. Once it does, hit the arm switch and it will start motors.

[@kayakell9200]

@@alishanmao Done that, no go! Changed from mode two to mode one. IE throttle on the right. problems started after changing modes. PS rx also not binding.

[@alishanmao]

Ok so here is the thing. every time you make any change at radio side, you have to do two calibrations Say you changed radio mode. now you must do radio sticks calibration using radio menus. after this connect the H1 Autopilot to computer, and click on Sticks Calibration in the software. then move radio sticks. also make sure the PWM values of throttle should be 1000 minimum, and 1500 is center value for all channels. same goes for other channels. once you have done both calibrations, you can unlock motors. and fly

Hi Friend I love your videos you are the best!!!! I have a question for you because I recently have the H1 gps module in my X5 helicopter. It ´s amazing and nice to learn. But I have a problem in 3D mode because in some of the figures H1 GPS correct the helicopter tail in roll and yaw axes when I doing funnels and Pyro flips. Do you have any remomnedations becaus I adjusted de gain on the settings but it´s the same. Thank you and I look forward hearing from you.

[@alishanmao]

its the way it is. maybe next versions they will correct it.

[@diannewomacks6321]

Hi ali ther is so much talk about the H1 heli but all have diifrent ideas. You have one. what battery comes with it some saw 2200 4s some saw 4200 3s, does transmitter have the throttle so it stays in middle like drone or full range throw,also pics show 2 blade rear rotor some show 3 blade whitch one,some dont mention inverted flight.pics of trans dont show inverted, they say 1 swith not used, cant make up there minds. thks John

[@alishanmao]

yes some seller provide 4S and some 3S. 4S can perform 3D, 3S is just for scale flight without aerobatics. throttle is in the mid like a drone throttle. Factory sends 3 blade tail rotor.

[@sarltechclinic6849]

bonjour pouvez vous me dire si il faut calibrer l'hélicoptère avec le pc pour chaque vol merci

[@alishanmao]

just once, no need to do before each flight. you can even do calibration at home.

[@paolomartinelli9668]

hi Ali,, a couple of months ago I commented abut impossibility to fly the FW450 inverted in 3D mode (no GPS): I was completely wrong as I flipped it today manually: very smooth ans safe.It seems 3D mode is actually implementing an IDLE UP throttle curve(-12° tpp +12° pitch) so you can fly it inverted as a normal 3D hely. Apologize for the previous mistake!

[@alishanmao]

no worries. in fact, in 3D manual mode skilled pilots have done some serious smack down you know

[@ausboy9251]

Your the best in the bis mate

[@alishanmao]

Thanks bud

[@emsman59]

I know that if the battery voltage is low, the H1 flight control will not let you invert the helicopter. What happens if you are already flying inverted and the battery voltage drops low and the H1 tells the FW450 to come home?

[@alishanmao]

it will land inverted :D hahahah trust me. Done that a couple of times. it lands inverted so stable. So if ever this happens, do not panic. let it touch the blades to ground and asap blades touch ground, hit disarm switch and you will be fine.

[@alishanmao]

Lock symbol on Radio is just to unlock radio for programming. They locked it because its a touch screen and they want to prevent unwanted accidental changes in radio programming. it has nothing to do with helicopter, to arm helicopter, you have to move and hold the rudder down right, for 3 seconds, leave it, then flip the motor arm switch.

[@Mr_Trixsta]

alishanmao I wasn’t sure which site to buy it from so I ordered one through Banggood . Will I be getting the same copter with the same features as on “only flying machines” website because I noticed the battery on Banggood is a 3S not 4S as per OFM. I managed to download the manual from fly wing website and it doesn’t say anything about doing a calibration? would I still need to calibrate once I receive the copter ?

[@alishanmao]

I am not sure about that buddy. Banggood has their own system and setup. We have our own setup. as for now, we are not offering it with any battery. I am going to update the site and update prices too. because our forwarders can't ship battery. Battery is very easy to find. any 4S 2600mAh to 3300mAh fits just perfect. do remember with 3S do not perform inverted or 3D. because with 3S it does not offer enough power to do 3D. you can only fly normal with 3S. yes Compass calibration is a must first time and if you change city or fly at different location, best to calibrate compass.

[@Mr_Trixsta]

alishanmao Thanks for getting back to me mate, I just hope the one I’m getting will still do 3D ? Is there much difference in the setup compared to yours ? I just hope I made the right decision with purchasing it from Banggood it cost alot of money and i truly don’t want to be disappointed.

[@alishanmao]

one Banggood price is really insane high. 2nd with 3S battery? thats not good for 3D at all. do not attempt 3D with 3S battery. maybe you still can cancel the order while you have time :)

[@Pitoshi812]

I got one and equipped my T-Rex 450 pro with it. And I am enjoying "FPV helicopter". So, I have a question. You say, in this KZbin movie, that you use not 3s but 4s battery when inverting your helicopter. Please let me know whether it is possible to invert a helicopter equipped with H1-GPS using 3s battery.

[@alishanmao]

it depends upon helicopter, if your helicopter originally designed to perform 3D with 3S, you can do it. its just that for FW450, 3S is for normal flying only, and 4S that offers more power to perform 3D.

[@Pitoshi812]

Hey hi, Ali. I was practising 3d and was not successful. I purchased replacement servos but cannot find instructions on the best way to take this bird apart to replace them.

What happens if you are hovering inverted and "grass cutting", then hit RTH? Does it fly up high and right itself first?

In inverted and 3D Flight, RTH is disabled. RTH will activate on demand or low battery failsafe only if helicopter is in GPS mode and not flying inverted. so best to use a low voltage beeper on battery and if its beeping, go normal flight, GPS mode and land.

Yes you can. you can choose professional controls in the assist program and everything stays inverted the way it has to be.

H1... when switching from 3D to GPS I instantly get a lower head speed. Is this normal?. Is this something that's pre-programmed to do this? Are do I have settings off somewhere in the perimeters? Also daring GPS flight within 5 to 8 minutes servos want to freeze up. It normally happens when head speed drops a little low . This is extremely dangerous ...Thanks for any help ..

[@alishanmao]

in 3D all RC helicopters use higher head speed to be able to perform stunts. it is normal. Servos freeze up? you might wanna check your battery volts. maybe battery volts are dropping too low? or some issue with UBEC in ESC?

[@flyhigh6591]

@@alishanmao I figured it out. I had to raise the pitch a little higher. I ran low head speed which in returns requires more pitch when the battery starts running low. The servos we're maxing out there upper travel limit. So I raised maximum pitch plus head speed and it's solved the problem. I run low head speed on my 500x because I fly fpv. I normally get 17 minute flight times.

glad you resolved it. Have fun bud

I learned about H1 GPS a month ago. I'm very interested I also read the instruction manual and translate it into Japanese. I have a lot of doubts. H1 itself is cheap. There are many functions. Rather, it is important not to crash, and it is perfect for scale body lovers. I don't want a useless crash.Is S-BUS essential for connecting the receiver? Can't it be installed with an ordinary receiver?

[@alishanmao]

For now SBUS. no PWM. I agree this is best for Scaled Helicopters. some scaled helicopters can get real expensive and this system is best because it can surely make it easier to fly those and save those with auto hover and Auto Return to home. We have a scaled helicopter coming out soon.

[@DIY_ch]

alishanmao Thank you for your reply. is that so. There are still many JR users in Japan. It doesn't spread if only S BUS. My scale team will advertise the H1. I plan to write a Japanese translation manual and learn support techniques. Anyway, with the body of a large scale helicopter, you can buy 5 or 6 H1s. I think everyone should practice in H1. Especially the elderly. S BUS signal converters are sold for around $ 10. It looks like a bidirectional converter circuit. I will also test this.

[@alishanmao]

That will be awesome. I will try to get more info for JR Spektrum users from engineers. you can always email me and keep in touch if you need any help. alishanmao at gmail as far as I remember JR does have SBUS? or is it different? Cheers and big thanks buddy

[@DIY_ch]

@@alishanmao JR does not have SBUS. The company has disappeared. There are many owners. But the protocol used by the maniacs of the world. Spectrum method, other methods. Not all can be used in Japan. It's tough in Japan. You need one license each. A device that emits radio waves. Therefore, even if TX is imported, it cannot be used. It is a violation. Mania is watching each other. Only new FUTABA products can be used as new products. Many enthusiasts have old sets with the standard 8ch output and 8 servos connection method. The unique connection method is not popular.

[@farouks2003]

Ali thanks for the video, I bought one after watching your video but I've had a problem I'm sure is the calibration. everytime I flight the fw 450, it automatically goes into home mode. I'm I calibrating it wrongly? please help me Habeebi.

[@alishanmao]

it will go into RTH if flight mode switch is on RTH / Home. Radio connection breaks from Heli. Check the switch must be on GPS. before take off. and wait for it to lock all sats.

[@tonysciolino9827]

Playing with the lock before I got your comments i lost the bind to heli so I hit factory reset oops, I need to find some where to send it to fix the mess I made of it can you please help me TONY

[@alishanmao]

Unfortunately no one that i know of in your area. maybe its best to contact some experienced RC Helicopter pilot who can help you setup the radio. it just needs to be a simple plane setup

[@tonysciolino9827]

@@alishanmao I will do that thanks for your interest

Hi, Do you still recommend this model as one of the best for this price point? I have lots of experience flying Blade nano S2 and similar and now looking for something more robust, that I can fly outdoors and will introduce me to 3D.

there is a V2 version out now kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2G1h6WEabOEf9U kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIDQg2N5Z9SFsKc

@ Ali..... I enjoy all of your heli flying videos and as someone who has been flying a few years , I'd like to order one of these in the BNF version ....can I use my Spectrum DX6 transmitter to bind it or what exactly will I need ? ..thanks

[@alishanmao]

you can only if you know how to setup helis and FCs

[@hughheli]

when you hover the helicopter, does it stay still or move with the wind?

[@alishanmao]

No it won't move. No matter how much winds, it will stay at one place because we have GPS + Glonas High End GPS system. which offers solid Position hold both altitude and position. The accuracy is really nice.

[@hughheli]

How long it take ship to USA? I know right now no air shipping and how are you going to shop out? And it free shipping? Thanks

[@alishanmao]

We are shipping express. by air. UPS Door to Door. No its not free shipping. due to this pandemic, its difficult to ship so whoever is making arrangements for Fast Express shipping with tracking number, they are charging slightly higher than usual. but again in these times if you get something express fast its worth paying for it. we have shipped 52kg heavy big box electric scooter to USA and right in the middle of pandemic by express and it arrived to US Customer in 7 days. So no worries on shipping here with us for this helicopter. we can't ship batteries though, do remember so we will refund battery cost to you. batteries are easy find.
