THE BEST GPS HELICOPTER YET - Flywing Airwolf FW450L

[@tombernaljr]

Was I the only one that when the rotors started spinning the "Air Wolf theme" started buzzing in my head? LoL! GORGEOUS RC man!

[@tree267]

Opportunity missed

[@jameslrbrand2002uk]

[@HappyDude1]

The sound started in.my head even before he started the helicopter I know what I want for christmas

[@qba4455]

You aren't human male if you didn't 😅

[@21stBattalion]

i heard the scream too

[@mr.sinister1279]

Damn it even sounds like a real copter too

[@HappyDude1]

I was sold when I heard the sound

[@S00000by]

That is simply awesome, used to watch Airwolf as a kid!

[@frozengamer3030]

The sound is unreal

[@1983dmd]

Simply amazing....I used to ''try'' to fly Kavan Jet Rangers with glow plug engine and primitive radio in the 70's...Did not pursue very long..Incredible what they can do now...And what a realistic sound...

[@timduggan1461]

Yup. I had one too in the 70s. Our technology today is so much better.

[@Point_Particle]

Same here, as a teen in the 90's that used to fly nitro planes and heli's. I'm amazed at how accessible RC aircraft are to people of all ages and experience, now. It's great.

[@cybertrophic]

my father was the first person to loop one of those. no Gyros, no nothing - proper nightmare to keep flying where you wanted it.

[@adamr9215]

Yea, the old days were so much better. You could only fly them if you had skill and were willing to spend the time to learn to fly them. Now anyone can do it and it doesn’t take much skill. Now careless people and can buy cheap stuff and show up to an event and wreck into everyone else’s expensive stuff. All that has happened is they let the people with no skill come in and ruin a hobby.

[@janickgoudeau6126]

I've been into rc helicopters since the early 1980s and seriously since 2005. Wow, GPS, lipo batts, 2.4 digital. It's amazing how the tech is now. The price is on point because you'd spend that kind of money just repairing it back in the day. Also I think Dominic Santini would approve;)

[@andgate2000]

Same...2 stoke oil everywhere...no elec nanny's...just skill.

[@Fleetwoodjohn]

Thing sounds real! 😎👌🏼

[@STEVEARABIA1]

Wow. Quite the improvement in controls over the years with this gps mode. Pretty amazing.

[@kalikaputra]

This company should pay you for this video. Wow. Got me sold.

[@3DPrintHangar_RC]

OOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT AIRWOLF IS ICONIIIIICCC 1000000% would give that thing 5 stars on yelp 🔥🔥

[@Jays_rcgarage]

Ayyyyy 👏🏼

[@jonkersvideos]

Love it! Missing retracts though..

[@RcOrdway-Sons]

Dude I have had this chopper for almost 4 months now and I love it! Hands down my favorite unit! You have to tint the windows on yours to get the real Air Wolf look! Love your videos! I do mostly hydraulic construction equipment , I videos as well on my channel, but I wish I was more camera literate 😢 I could never video my planes and choppers because I would need a camera man! 😂

[@justaghoulintheworld]

With that return to home you could actually land in a hole in the ground like the show by the look of it. Grass effect was awesome.

[@stuartcarter7053]

It sounds amazing! Love Airwolf too

[@thomgizziz]

Do you love it to the tune of $1k

[@WoodsPrecisionArms]

Bro this was a great product video! That thing does sound awesome

[@amarpatel3154]

Sound is amazing. Great vid 👍

[@Tymothic]

⁠ I hear you loud and clear. I was being a little biased because I enjoy flying drones. Helicopters are great machines to fly but not for the purpose of what I can use with a drone. I enjoy the birdseye view

[@adamr9215]

I think you replied in the wrong place, but I bumped into it. Drones are great for what they are good at. They are a lot of fun both FPV and line of sight. But, they handle nothing like a helicopter, so if you want to fly a helicopter, it’s not a suitable replacement. Drones will do things that helicopters won’t, they are just 2 separate things. For one, this one is an Airwolf replica, based on a short lived TV show from the late 80’s/early 90’s. No drone can replace Airwolf. It was a short lived show with low ratings that left a mark on a lot of people. It’s why the Bell 222 with retracts was one of the most popular helicopters in Internet searches for decades. So if you are like me and this is something from your childhood, even another heli isn’t a suitable replacement. This isn’t a starter heli, it’s beginner. You start with cheap to find out if it interests you, then you can step up to something like this that has beginner safety features as well as the capability of more advanced flying. It’s not all plastic, it’s aluminum and carbon, so there will be less play in the movements and it will respond better, as well as last longer. Remember, drones are simple, 4 motors and props (more in some cases) and basic electronics. The helicopter has a lot of linkages, swashplates and servos that the drone doesn’t have, and that makes it more complex and expensive. But, it’s still a completely different thing to fly. Planes, helis, drones, gyrocopters, I like to fly them all. It’s all different and a different skill to master. Plus, I like to tinker, so adjusting the blades and everything else on the heli is part of the fun to me.

[@thomgizziz]

@@adamr9215 This thing runs from 800-1000 dollars... stop trying to prop up this dude pushing this nonsense. It is going to be fine for very very specific people but in general this is terrible for most people and the reason this dude is pushing it is because he is getting this heli for free and/or getting paid.

[@adamr9215]

@@thomgizziz Are your parents brother and sister? I didn’t comment on the pricing at all. I was explaining to someone else the difference between starter and beginner, and the difference between drones and helicopters. If you want to talk about price, the first rc helicopter I built in 92 cost about $1500 without an engine, blades, servos or radio. And you needed about $500 in tools to adjust the rotors. So $2000 in and 40-60 hours later you had to spend $200 on blades, $350 on an engine, $800 on a radio, $400 on servos, $250 on a receiver and then there were still upgrades. So, $650-1000 depending on how many batteries it has isn’t that bad comparatively. But, it’s overpriced for what it is in the current market. But, if you look at upgrading another cheaper helicopter to have all the aluminum parts that this one does, then you would be getting pretty close to the cost of this one. But, I actually learned how to fly a helicopter without all the training wheels that they have now, and I do not like that stuff. I see all these new safety features as what brought too many people into this hobby and ruined it. We didn’t have the FAA making up rules when it took skill to fly and less people did it. Personally, I wish rc airplanes started at $5000, and helicopters at $10,000, because that would stop 95% of the problems that the rc flying world is having now. I also wish that the RTF, PnP, BnF would go away and people had to spend 100+ hours building a plane before they could fly it. That too would clean up the mess that exists today. So, this helicopter needs to be about 20 times more expensive, as should all the others. And it should come in pieces, not preassembled.

[@domfer2540]

I had a gas model decades ago, so much fun.

[@jeremyboyce1537]

I must say ! "That Looks Really Nice" !!!😊

[@MrRaymond1021]

Ohh yeah, that's a sweet looking helicopter. It's so loud, and it's scary but definitely a beautiful looking big boy toy. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

[@joeblakley5970]

Do you know what the difference between the "Left-Hand" & the "Right-Hand" controls when ordering the Airwolf product? I grew up in Tennessee flying nitro helis in the 1980's & 1990's along w/ airplanes. Throttle on the left, cyclic on the right-hand stick. Can you please explain the difference? I'm about to order an Airwolf w/ your discount code. Electric heli's have FINALLY come to maturity, & I'm all in!!! Thank you for an exceptional demonstration!!! 👍💞

[@jesseslack2089]

Airwolf is so damn awesome! Also it's been 38 years since I played with any RC things..the last being the RC Typhoon Hovercraft...are we still limited to only 15 mins of play time...I mean it is the future!

[@charlespoole9751]

I ordered one it's beautiful I loved airwolf.

[@tomhettrick7813]

Where do you purchase one, I'm very interested!!👍👍

[@HappyDude1]

Wow super cool! Can the wheels retract?

[@dmbolender]

Had a gas-powered helicopter in the mid-1990s. It took more skill than I have. Taking off, no problem, just hit the collective. Landing was always the issue. Do they make other types of helicopter (Hughes 500, Ranger, Apache) like this? Awesome.

[@perrypollino456]

I agree with adding lights what about retracts. I have been waffling between Hey and airwolf.

[@FreightTrain54]

As an Airwolf kid I now know what to ask for Christmas XD

[@786itube]

I wonder if I put a propellor on my lawnmower if I could get it to fly as well

[@andybrowncoat2685]

How bad would it be to modify this? Paint, weapons, seats in the cockpit etc? Would it affect the flight of this awesome machine?

[@thomgizziz]

Yes any added weights affects it. You do know the creator is getting paid to make this review right? He doesn't care if the thing is good he just cares that he gets his.

[@douglasbrandt4068]

So yeah, you mentioned the controls can be adjusted to smooth that tight, abrupt takeoff. Also, do i see little nubs on the landing gear sponsons? Are those for possible weapons attachments? 😯

[@albert797]

Did you get left hand flight control or right hand flight control?

[@adriansullivan-q9i]

i have two of these ..it does look like airwolf but there are big diffeneces in the paint work..also just be careful of the H1failing it's very common..other than that its a great heli...but don't go inverted on a scale heli it won't turn out the way you think..

[@crashalexander7232]

H1 WILL NEED CALIBRATION IF THERE IS AN ISSUE IT'S AN EASY DOWNLOAD FROM FLY WING

[@courtneyroy270]

Wow how much is it , and who sells them can you tell us man, great video

[@시커먼선생Mr.Blackman]

I'll go and watch the video you've put together so well. It's the best.

[@HappyDude1]

MOOOMM! MOMMY! I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS! 😁

[@gbinman]

I was waiting for the Airwolf audio tracks from the TV show. I always liked that show, I thought the acting sucked but the flight scenes were amazing.

[@captbriansbees]

I do like that chopper. 👍

[@toolbaggers]

It could literally chop off your hand.

[@thomgizziz]

Okay go spend the $1k to get it.

[@patrigdon4205]

Aint no way i wouldnt murder it out and tint the windows, or paint them too. Def would add a cpl lights as well. But i love this thing. Not bad for the price point as well. Ive been out of RC for a while and really wanna get back in.

[@RCCopterLove]

The takeoff of this heli, uncontrolled shooting up like crazy, was not really safe, I would say. You said you hate it and I agree. If you see this for the first time you can get a little heart attck! Otherweise nice helicopter to bring in new pilots!

[@Jays_rcgarage]

So, I found out if you just lightly hold the stick above half.. it takes off a lot slower. lol 😂

[@RCCopterLove]

@@Jays_rcgarage Ahhh, Thats good news! I already thought this is a killer machine. lol! Great that you found that out!

[@tgherman3619]

I am glad I found this video. I like this one a lot.

[@k1ortia]

Worth the money all day long, just for the nostalgia...👍🏾

[@thomgizziz]

Okay then buy the $1k heli and put a video up to show that it was worth it... you won't ever do it. This guy is getting paid and getting a free heli, why are you shilling for a stranger and company?

[@k1ortia]

@thomgizziz He's not the only one. They are all Shills who get freebies and don't pay with their own money...😂

[@tomhettrick7813]

Jay where do you purchase one ,im very interested 👍👍

[@dkelli6020]

AirWolf! Bro I gotta get one haha, loved the show!

[@rflegal12]

I know with the FW 450v3, you need to go and activate the 3d through your FC via USB. It will have two 3d modes. Full mode is true 3d (sicks are reversed) and the. Other mode is more beginner friendly (sticks have same control whether the helicopter is inverted or not). After you set your FC, the. You can use the 3D switch.

[@24bellers20]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. Leap up was n understatement. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ridetilludie1]

The normal and invert is probably for the controls some people learn to fly with controls switched

[@Irvington81]

Schwarzenegger: “GET TO THE CHOPPER!!!”

[@Steve_RobbieRaygun]

There is a video on the old youtube, where it explains how to lift it off gently.

[@HappyDude1]

What do I need to type in to find that video?

[@thatsmyrc]

I would like to see someone adj the programable options on the H1 to better the flight.. Great looking heli Im thinking of this as my next one..

[@MsDenver2]

Can you make it take off slower as that was a bit quick for me?

[@steveblackbird]

Awesome. I have the 500 sized Airwolf with the H1. I found if you feed in pitch taking off, really slow and gentle on the stick, mine doesn't launch off the ground at all... it's all really smooth. It settles like a foot off the ground.. Is that what you do with yours and it still jumps up really fast??

[@aussiedigger1441]

I would tighten those blades before you go inverted as if you add alot of sudden elevator it may boom strike? The blades should stay horizontal when held horizontal.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

@4:40 it didn't really stop instantly, did it ? It looked like over a meter it kept floating backwards.

[@shel0016]

Wow Jay this is beautiful. How much did this copter and the ctrl cost😊😮

[@ilonewolft]

Wow! So nice! What control type would one choose? Left-hand control or right-hand control?

[@thaanesh235]

What is left hand flight control amd right hand flight control? Please explain me

[@michaelparent2233]

I'm trying to figure that out as well

[@BiggerBadderBrian]

Sounds fantastic! I want one.

[@kaliganegaming1460]

3:37 that take off man !!! 🤣🤣🤣 just imagine if it was a real one, your ballzzz probably gonna stay on the ground for 2 or 3 seconds before taking off 🤣🤣

[@R3dN3cK]

The Airwolf them was playing in my head the whole video!

[@ladyhawk7408]

Eh.... I would struggle to call a 700dollar helicopter " for beginners "

[@JoeOvercoat]

It’s a fair point, and good that he mentions it up front.

[@Rckid28]

if this guy can fly it, it’s definitely for beginners.

[@r.ccustomtruckingsydneyaus4632]

😂 I'm a beginner 😂 I about to purchase one rite now . I'll put video in mine an drone it goggles an all . Beaf up the battery . Looking forward to getting my one

[@NSBlack_Stallion]

Maybe he’s using beginner to reference skill level and experience? Dont see how someone’s bank account changes either of those.

[@RCPoor]

Some people's beginners are definitely different than others but I wouldn't spend 700 on any beginner Rc. It's a nice heli though, really pretty.

[@jefflucas_life]

Is the RTR with controller?? does it fly like in battlefield 2042? Is that the real sound or is that fabricated sound to sound like a real helicopter?

[@Luchoparana]

[@airman64]

Dud your super expert on flying that thing

[@jeromehebert3184]

that is way cooler than the smaller electric one i bought years ago where wind would blow it all around and of course it had no gps mode.

[@thomgizziz]

It is because you didn't spend around a grand out the door for the heli with his link. You can get similar copters for much less and probably that. This creator doesn't care either he will shill that link to you because he is getting this for free and/or getting paid. There are cheaper places to get this heli for almost half the cost but again you are just a means to an end for these creators.

[@rickeldridge2878]

Love it! Im with u! Wish it had lights!

[@nsbob70]

when you popped the canopy, I was disappointed to see no retracts. Wonder if they do or will offer a kit? Sweet lookin' heli! DANG! Yeah! That take off is terrifying! LOL So much for scale! We'd all have compressed spines and sneezin' out our butts! Yah, that's pretty bad arse!

[@johnyaskoveakarpaccio4737]

so then this can be flown 'inverted',in the 3-D mode?

[@shanejsgable]

It needs an option to play the Airwolf theme.. Either from the remote or the Heli... But, from the Heli would be cooler. Imagine you're standing there and you start hearing the theme playing and then this helicopter comes flying at you! 😂

[@FrancisTucker-bf4vj]

Very nice!!
