Imagine giving up flying 15 years ago and coming back to the sport in 2022. So glad to find your vids on this subject, I'm currently preparing my x-cells for a return to the field and thought my flybar machines were out of date

[@BertKammerer]

That is a long time my friend. I can't imagine how different it must feel. I was flying 15 years ago already and I have seen a lot of advancements in that time. Best of luck with your future hobby endeavors.

@@BertKammerer yes Bert it feels it , everyone's gone electric and flybarless and miniture aircraft is now German!!

[@garymurphy5133]

Why don't you put the original date these vids were made. Anyone new to this would presume this is upto date!

[@brettmccafferty7510]

I am new to this and was confused. I've hardly seen any helli's with a fly bar. I just bought a nano s2 to get into this hobby, but they have mentioned micro hellis arte a bad choice. What do you think?

@@brettmccafferty7510 Same here, was just about to ask "was this really made in 12/2018??" :D

[@NiCadHeliPilot]

2010: "Flybarless helis are just a fad." 2020: "Literally every heli ever made is now flybarless."

This one got me to subscribe finally. The bloopers are epic

The first real yet quite successful approach to make FBL affordable to masses was made by Skookum Robotics in 2008 by coming up with SK-360 2-axis system when people were offered to just to add the electronic cyclic control to their existing tail gyros. There was another attempt to repeat success of Skookum such as Probar by Eco8gator but it ended up at prototype stage only for some reason.

What is the best flybarless system for nitro engine

[@fklotaloi]

Hey, Why don't u make a video on choosing some micro helis to bring more people on this RC HELI ??? Who's gonna buy tht extremely expensive helis u r jst showing where as most people these days switching to Quads due to easy n affordability !! I fly Trex450 bt I rather prefer smaller helis, less crash damaged , less headache. I see, it video has very few likings due to not too many guys r in helis these days.
