[@stevetillson3268]

Fantastic, Ali. Again, thanks for a terrific video and for assisting in the idea and design of the quick release blade holder; quite an innovation! Forgive me if the following items have been mentioned before: 1) I own 3 FW450's (v.1, v.2.5 and v.3), and wanted to comment on the new tailrotor blade design: My v.3 tail is so much quieter than the first two versions. Those attractive little blade tips really make a difference. Congratulations, FlyWing for yet another improvement. 2) I can't congratulate FlyWing enough for not only producing an extraordinarily product but offering this complete package at such a reasonable price! For those thinking about either a first heli or adding to their hanger, simply shop around and discover for yourself what a bargain this is. Add it all up; i.e. : you get a complete assembled heli (servos, motor, ESC, battery, flybarless controller, GPS, receiver and transmitter already pre-programmed to your specific model all perfectly packed up in an attractive and rugged carrying case!) Extraordinary! And thanks again, Ali, for taking all your time and effort to bring this incredible product to life via your informative and entertaining videos. Steve

From today on it shall be called , Ali's main & tail quick release. You suggested it & it happened.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

I’ll take it one step further. They should give him some type of compensation, bonus or cut of every sale made, etc. But knowing the Chinese, they won’t give him Jack.

[@alishanmao]

That what I totally agree with you. they just say thank you. in USA it should have been my patent and they pay pennies for using my patent on every helicopter. but hey welcome to China. in fact i gave them a draft design as well for this. but again, i would be more than happy if flywing even says once or twice that this was AliShanMao's idea and design and we thank him for making our helis better. waiting for it if this happens

[@alishanmao]

Yes buddy, but as Golden Manuever says, that should have been better

Thank you for your time reviewing this Heli, I’ve seen many but this is bare bones and what we want to see in any review. No supprise that flying gave you another to review with the quick release system, again thank you .

[@alishanmao]

you are welcome buddy

[@NiCadHeliPilot]

So, the quick release system is a bayonet style? Awesome. Probably the only thing I can think of with that is (I am definitely moving the goal post, here. So, bear with me) the quick release mechanism being a wear point (especially when the helicopter is being flown through aerobatic manoeuvres). With thar being said, most people probably crash more frequently than the amount of time it would take for the quick release mechanism to show any signs of wear anyway. Either way, this is amazing, & seeing how far FlyWing has come is also incredible. Excellent work here, Ali. Also, I want to clarify what you said in your conclusion, regarding the blades & why they need to be loose in their blade holders, but not too loose: 1.) Blades too loose will cause them to strike the tail boom & other parts of the helicopter. This part you're correct. 2.) The Main Rotor Blades need to be loose enough in their blade holders in order to swing enough to align with disymmetry of lift. The advancing blade (IE the blade moving from the tail to the nose) must be able to lag behind the main rotor mast. The retreating blade (IE the blade moving from the nose to the tail) must be able to lead in front of the main rotor mast; 3.) If the Main Rotor Blades are unable to lead/lag like this, the helicopter will be incredibly unstable to the point where it won't be able to be controlled. The helicopter will have a tendency to roll or pitch in whichever direction the disymmetry of lift is taking it. This is relative to whichever direction that the helicopter is travelling in. Also, the lead/lag thing is how disymmetry of lift is addressed in a rigid/semi-rigid main rotor system - which is common to the vast majority of remotely piloted helicopters.

[@alishanmao]

Thank you for your comment buddy and yes very much appreciate the details on why blades should not be too tight. Hope this helps all RC Heli pilots out there :)

[@NiCadHeliPilot]

@@alishanmao Absolutely; & you're welcome. =^/,..,^=

[@nostalgia3750]

It seems your comments about Chinese customer service have done some good as I have had 3 E-Mails from Pengpilot (at FlyWing) in the past couple of days - one of them saying that my FW450 V3 has been shipped - which is good news. Unfortunately he also says that Software V 1.9 for the helicopter is only available for Windows users, so us Mac owners still have to borrow friends' computers - which is very frustrating! Thanks for all your videos, Ali - excellent and informative!

[@ronaldcobbs5260]

This upgrade looks great. Wish they had this installed when I got my V3. Well looks like I will have to order the upgrade kit

[@alishanmao]

@@p33treekRipAir its there on their site. www.flywingrc.com/downloadCenter but problem is that often site does not load. you have to have a VPN in some countries to load it. and when you download the H1 software, make sure to disbable anti virus program and make an except in your Antivirus program. only then you will be able to use it or else your AV software will delete the file.

nice one Alishanmao still waiting for my FW450 V3 from Chine ordered 15th january, never known it takes so long for delivery nice couplings works well great review mate.

[@alishanmao]

Hope you enjoy it! thank you :) for following my work

[@Maltojo]

Great Video as always and cool info! I have a quick release on order now! Thanks!!! Just a note: My first flight I was flying the circle, went to flip it back to normal, but hit the kill switch instead. Ouch. Broke a server horn and landing skid. Waiting for those parts. I think I'll reverse the run switch because I'm used to having that one forward to disable on my Radiomaster.

[@davidschrieber9308]

Flywing gives you this heli to review. But it’s not available….backordered. I feel if you’re gonna review one than make it available.

[@alishanmao]

this helicopter is really very popular now and stock selling out very quick but flywing is making more of course regularly and next batch is coming soon. you can order it using this link: bit.ly/3YT8qeF

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Hey Ali, I don’t want to experiment and then crash…for agility what is better for precise or slow? With the Chinese translation I am thinking precise is very quick and crisp and slow is just that less responsive.

[@alishanmao]

actually, when I put my settings to precise, I find helicopter is much more responsive and easy to control :) if i put it to slow, it gets sluggish and doing manual 3d is even not so comfortable with that settings. you may wanna give it a try

[@marksampson7652]

Loved the video! Was very impressed by the flying and features. If I already have a RadioMaster TX16S, should I even bother with buying the bundle that comes with their own TX?

[@alishanmao]

no need, tx16s is best for this heli. i have video tutorial on setup as well

[@glorbeard]

Just wondering if you are still going to produce a video showing how to convert the standard rotor head version to the quick disconnect (QD) version. I can't find any info on this (or a FW450-V3 parts list) and I have just received my FW450-V3 QD rotor head. Especially interested in finding a source for decent ball-link pliers and learning to use them properly without damage to the parts. Love your videos! Thanks!

[@alishanmao]

sure once i get back to China

[@BF1GUN]

When will you be releasing a video on how to install the quick release system? Mine is due to be delivered soon. Thanks.

[@alishanmao]

once i get back to China. 8th August we will return.

[@goldenmanuever1176]

Hey Ali, happy to report mine just shipped, as a side note, wanna hear something funny? I got my new FW450 motor today and the grub screw used to hold the pinion on was 3 X too long....so, tightened down all the way, the screw was sticking PAST the gear itself. You know well enough OMP, Goosky and YuXiang would never do something that off the wall! What is FW doing over there? If someone didn't know what they were doing and spooled it up, the spur gear, driveline, motor and ESC would have been destroyed! Ugh! 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

[@alishanmao]

Ah man. Flywing sure needs to pay more attention to QC and inspections. I will again emphasize on this to them

[@goldenmanuever1176]

@@alishanmao Ali I threw the screw out wished I could of shown you this. I did chuckle it is funny and then I was like you “omg man” 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

[@SamcroHD]

Hi. Great review. Quick release system seems to be a little bit longer in diameter than original (about 1 or 2 cm longer) but your flights seem identicals. Do you feel a difference in the handling of the controls or not? Following your review, I don't think that quick release could be more dangerous than standard fix. For me it is a great option to have, better to screw/unscrew the props at every time. Once good screwing is made on quick relese system, it should not be worried about (but as all RC models, check everything before take off of course).

[@alishanmao]

I feel no difference in flight or controls. only thing is that this system puts a little more load on motor and esc so they are running slightly more hot (just nominal) than before. however still perfectly in normal temp ranges given the outdoor temps. more load of course because the diameter has increased. maybe Flywing needs to consider designing new shorter blades with wider body to compensate.

[@willp3137]

Hey Ali... can't thank you enough for your videos. They have been excellent. I meant to ask... does the timer function work on the transmitter? At lease mines is not working, not sure if that is how it should be, as I can find were to adjust in the transmitter menu. Thanks in advance!

[@alishanmao]

It should. Unlock and click on timer. Set timer and it's options. It should work

[@alishanmao]

do not think so, it makes blades longer and will strike tail blade maybe

@@alishanmao thank you for your prompt response. I think you are right. Which helicopter looks more realistic, the bell 206 v3 or the huey uh-1 v3? Both are really nice and have similar the same flight characteristics. And by the way, you are the best expert in presentation of rc models. Best regards Thomas

[@ThomasGro-er9sf]

Thank you. I will wait for the Huey UH-1 V4. By the way. The Airwolf V2 is really nice but why does it not have a pull-in suspension? It would be more realistic during the flight. Maybe you can inform FlyWing about it 😉😁

My v.3 arrived this morning but it does not have the quick release blade mechanism so I have ordered this from your link - I'm grateful for that! A question - would there be an advantage to use the 52WH battery which came with the v.2.5, which is smaller and lighter than the 5000 mAh that is in the v.3? I've tested the C.of G. using the 52WH and it balances perfectly.

[@alishanmao]

I fly my V3 with small battery. I find flight time to be satisfactory and helicopter flies lightweight and easy. i use 5000mAh only when I put my V3 in Airwolf.

@@alishanmao Man I’m really devastated. I only got 90 minutes of flight time with my FW450 Airwolf and had that servo fail mid flight. It swayed back and forward and followed the exact CG of battery nearest the front. I’ve spent so much money and will email FlyWing as I’m saddened by the incident and the damages caused to the Heli. I’ve tried to look at servos but I’m not experienced enough with them to do any replacements as I’m not confident with swashplate adjustments or any recalibration of servos etc.
