PLEASE NOTE: If you should see a comment from me saying you have been selected for a prize, it is not me, but rather just some scammer trying to get your money. You have been warned!
You’re a standup guy Captain Drone, I did get that message this morning.I thank you for warning me. I said thanks but no thanks not trusting the Internet. Thank’s again for the warning my trusted friend captain drone😎👍🏻✨🙋🏻♂️
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
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.
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!
Wow! What an incredible flying machine! It's a bit out of my range but hey, most stuff is! It looks well worth the price and for a new heli flyer, it makes you look like a Pro Cap'n! I would love to try one of these someday. Great video, thanks for sharing!
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.
Absolutely love your channel I’m very interested in the FW 450 been flying about two years with the eachine e180s seeing this video makes me really want to pull the trigger on the 450
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!)
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 👍
Inverted flight without having to learn. Next we will be scheduling them to fly while we nap. I'm teasing of course, this likely is an awesome trainer but you can get same results on a sim.
I know, they make things too easy these days. These new generation are going to have everything handed to them. Even fpv drone pilots are everywhere and act like what they do is impressive, when in reality, it's the $1,000 machine they have.
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.
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!
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.
Got mine today did you calibrate yours before flying or just wait for green light to go solid ? do,nt know what SW switch does + not explained on insructions .
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.
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.
I know you say it’s a beginner but when it cost almost $500 most beginners not going to spend that most beginner‘s gonna spend less than 100 so find us something less than 100 but thank you for the video it is a pretty cool helicopter
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.
My grand daughter (now 18) was incredible with tiny helicopters when she was about six. She’d love it. Would it have enough power to carry a small camera such as the Insta360 Go2?
In inverted mode all on controller inverted also? Example to fly up we pull down the left stick, and to move forward we push back the right stick (in tail in flight)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 one more, i fly smart inverted, but my helicopter is always descend, seem it have lost power, is this maybe because in app i sett my motor speed in inverted mode to 50?i see from alisanmao yutube, he set on 65,how about your helicopter?
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.
Considering the tail rotor maintains a constant speed how complicated it must be to code the required flight controls when it all comes via a single main rotor.
So I actually dropped my remote control that came with helicopter and broke it so I ordered a replacement same as the one that came with it now it doesn’t want to work with helicopter can you help by chance ?? Thank you for your time
How do you know if a helicopter is able to tilt all the way to the side/upside down? Many of them have a restrictive on that but I want to be able to tilt it all the way so how do I know which ones can and which ones can’t?
If you've never done 3d, or any other 4+ channel helicopter, good luck. Don't buy anything expensive or you'll regret it when you crash it the first time out.
Very low flight time unfortunately, has anyone tried other battery installment option for longer flight?, if so can send link on which batteries could be used? Thanks
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.
its completely different to a drone, which may fly longer. There are 700 sized competition Helicopters which cost 2-3k dollars but depending on how the pilos flys, the battery will only last about 2 minutes
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you for your reply Cap, so when buy the rtf version the transmitter is clocked when first turn it on. Just press and hold the two lit up scroll buttons and it will unlock!
Yes, there would easily be a battery that gives you longer flight time, but only slightly longer. You just need a battery with more mAh that you can strap in place.
Love it! I wish it had a little 4k camera but I'm sure it's fun just the way it is. Pure flying just for the fun of it. Would you say flight time is right around 5 minutes?
Yeah I bought one from banggood took it for a flight my son and i took it in air for no reason it started to drift away very quickly then we lost it we contacted banggood I told them what happened and told them they sold me a defective unit banggood didn't do anything I paid $450. Just had it only 3 days really sucks. Really disappointed by banggood
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.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 we did a full compass calibration & fully charged battery and the transmitter..GPS light solid took it in air hover started to shake little then it was not communicating to the helicopter we try to cute off the main motor it didn't work also return to home it didn't work yes it was defective unit.. lost
Thanks Captain, another "fun" flight option and informative review; just an observation, pretty pricy (you can buy a Mini 2 for the same money1) for essentially a limited RC Copter (no Camera also) however I am sure it will have appeal to some!!!!!
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I can certainly see why!; with all the fail safe back ups it is a game changer for any one wanting to get into the RC Copter game !!!!
