This Heli Can Fly Itself But Then Crashed?! 

Hello all! Its Toby. Thanks for the awesome video Jeff and tomorrow I finally get my hands on it the 580. Before I get butchered over the H1. I have flown drones and quads for the last several years just so I could learn to fly helis. I started with the FW450l V3 and that thing helped me learn quick. So then I bought a Goosky S2 so that I could also learn the right way. Well I had the money to blow so I wanted a bigger Heli. Jeff has made that build come to life. I am now planning on a S4 build just so I can sacrifice parts at a much cheaper price. I have also switched to a Spektrum N8 so the Flysky stuff is going away. I get that it can be a little of a crutch on the H1, but if it gets people flying helis then so be it. Oh. And if you ain't crashing you ain't flying! Good save Jeff! Could have been much worse and thanks for everything! Now bash away. Lol

The H1 system is great, I have 5 of them, good for scale models like Airwolf and Bell 206

I've watched pretty much all your videos but not one have I seen you so intrigued in a heli that you forgot flight time. 😉 I can see this being helpful for those new at speed flights and really big sky flying where you may loose orientation at a distance and adds an extra layer of recovery.

Thanks for this video!! I have had this same FlyWing H1 controller for a couple of years now, but have never installed it. I got me one of those Flywing FW450L V3 heli's with about the same system and transmitter. However I did learn most of my stuff on a Walkera V450, so I'm not so dependent on a GPS. Still, It is kind of fun not having to be so concentrated on keeping the thing up.

Me : ''hmm he has been flying for a couple minutes now when is he going to land?!'' *Crashes* ''Ahh''

Hey look at that! The H1 is almost as smooth as you are Jeff.

like me @ 4:50 - LOL

Hi Jeff. I hope you and your Family are all doing well, my friend! Another Fantastic Build and great wiring, as always! Nice Flying as always, I am personally not a big fan of the H1 FBL & GPS. If you have absolutely no experience, you shouldn't be buying a SAB GOBLIN RAW 580. Better off going with the RAW 420. Again, just my opinion. My Best to You, your Wife and Daughter, Dad, Grandpa and Grandma!! Take care Jeff, keep on enjoying yourself and Building Incredible Heli's! ❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

Jeff, greetings to you. So you are the best heli is the Raw 580. 6S, as I understand correctly. My Raw 580 is on the final assembly point- kst servo arms and telemetry wire from HW 150 onto Brain2. As you know, for sure, Raw 580 and Kraken 580 have the same mechanical architecture and parts. I have a full Kraken 580 set- kit, x-nova 4025 1120 kv, HW 150A, 3x kst 915, kst 905, a kit for standard servos. And I'm thinking- to sell it or to assembly it... I'm very like Raw 580 as you.

Poor Toby gets to see his heli crash before his first flight with it lol

Great vid buddy love the way you explain everything, good save on the landing don’t blame you on keeping distance good call 👍🏻 take care bud

I too have two of these H1 systems. One was mounted on a Align Trex 500 FBL and the other on a new OMP M4 Max. They both work great but you have to be careful and not accidentally hit the throttle kill button! I programmed my Futaba T18SZH for a logic of two switches to be engaged before this will happen so I would have no more issues! I have a video of me inverted low to the ground in GPS mode and putting my transmitter down on the grass (I don't recommend doing this), and my Trex 500 was just sitting there - a beautiful sight! It's too bad Spirit Systems with their Spirit 2 FBL unit with Geolink 2 doesn't work this well:( The Geolink 2 drifts all over the place when making a 90 degree nose change. I wish the programmer would take some time to check what is going on but he tells me it's my setup!!! NO IT IS NOT - ITS HIS CODE. How about you guys testing the Geolink 2 GPS unit with a Spirit 3 next:)???

I think some of the main criticisms of the H1 tend to be unfair. Not EVERYONE flies hard acrobatic mode and is their life blood. Many folks want to get into Helis but the cost learning curve is just to high. Lets face it, HELIE'S can be very hard to fly without crashing. Many like to fly their SCALE Helis just as that, SCALE. Looks pretty ridiculous flying a SCALE Heli in ACRO mode. I fully enjoy flying HELIS with an H1 and SCALE. I truly believe that the H1 and others like it will bring in so many people, which is good for us all. The technologies this will bring will be amazing. Can't wait!

Its great that helis have weak points to stop the spread of damage like servo arms & linkages ect. Nice flight as usual. I agree that auto fly may slow true stick learning. 👍🏻

I like FW. Sure the quality and fit and finish is not of the same caliber as my OMP M2 EVO (or say a Kyosho or Hirobo from back in the day) but still fun. I have a green FW450 V3, but I never use the GPS...not really interested in that. I like the way the machine looks and using the FW 1.9 software, I tuned everything to my liking in the manual 3D mode. I like sport and precision hovering like F3C. It is a pain to fly in manual mode with a spring that brings your throttle back to center. My first helis were a Raptor 60 V2 and 90 SE and while its marketed for beginners, the FW450 is not a beginners machine. No way.

Sweet. I've thought about experimenting with one of these on my TREX-800. Very useful info! Seems like an interesting platform to play with carrying a bigger camera.

I have thought about getting a goosky setup, one of the 4 size with gps! This video has me very interested now.

I agree, not to crazy about the safety aspects. If you can’t competently fly a 500 to 700 heli , you maybe shouldn’t be flying with a GPS system?

Any chance you could do a Tron 7.0 build and review in the near future? Lol I really want to build that heli but I want your thoughts on it first. It's between that and the Raw

Lack of telemetry from the radio, your usual tx would have alerted you about a low pack voltage. I see that the antennas are running along the tail boom. Wouldn’t it be susceptible for static discharge ? Great flying

Id like to try this on my 700

Hi Jeff. With September and the RF ID date coming up and with new people coming into the hobby watching this channel, would you be interested in doing a video about the TRUST and RF ID issue. I've seen some RFID beacons for sale but not many. The ones I've seen seem to be on backorder or not really out yet. You'd think they'd be easily available on HeliDirect or other places if they were really available now .

Nice video and the Raw is awesome! H1 is great, I guess, for experienced pilots wanting to play with new tech. But I think it is the "WORST" idea ever! for inexperience / beginner pilots! This is all we need, Noobs thinking to get going in the hobby with lets say a 500,600 700 size hei because they can just "GPS" it around while they learn. Bad, bad, bad, in my opinion. This is the perfect setup just begging for a serious accident!( with the single flip of a switch) Sorry for the less than upbeat feedback this time. I get it, you build and fly, and are not necessarily endorsing H1 gps gyros per say. And I am sure there are plenty of people that disagree with me. But it is where I've landed on the topic.

Obviously didn’t know how to set a timer on that tx. I now know where Spirit got their design ideas from tho for their new TX 😂

Reprogram from 3D mode to ATTI mode for the new heli users.

Hi Jeff, is it also possible to to use the Vbar on the Fly wing 450 v3 ?

Hi Jeff…… me again!! I have the flywing 450l v3 that uses the same H1 unit. Do you know if it is possible to connect this to a spektrum radio?

noooo did you read my other comment? can this be the cause ?

I was impressive for how long you flew, how much time does this battery is suposed to last? Really asking because with my 470l dominator i fly for around 4 minutes, using 6s 1450mah.

Socket screw M2x6mm (HC004-S) and uniball is m2 (2mm) but the hole servo arm is 2,5mm. In this mode the screw not fillet in servo arm. Only in uniball. Could that have been the cause?

I have a doubt. on page 7 of the manual of the sab goblin raw 580 Socket screw M2x6mm (HC004-S) in theory it should thread in the servo arm but my servo arm it has a hole of 2.5mm. The screw has a diameter of 2mm. Then the servo arm hole becomes passerby. and I want to understand if I can fly in this mode. I used green threadlocker to lock screw and uniball (the uniball code in the manual is: Uniball M2(H0064-S) ). Plus I may add hot glue on the screw and the loctite attack on the uniball. I've been clear? can i fly in this mode?

Just wanted to get some feedback from anyone that has tried or is using the Spirit Geolink V2. Kind regards

You break it you bought it😂. Looks like a fun new gadget to play with but could create overconfidence in new pilots. Hopefully it will help bring new people into the hobby at the same time the ever increasing cost of it is keeping people away from the hobby.

I have couples drone from China less than $50 can fly itself and come back home land by itself and not crash.

It’s all well and good until AI takes over your helicopter and it decides to attack you! 😂. I think newcomers should be required to crash and spend a lot of their money fixing their helicopters just like the rest of had to do. No easy way out. I guess sims are OK but if you learned on dowels and whiffle balls for training wheels, new technology can make you bitter😉😁

If that was my helicopter. You built And crashed, you would be giving me a brand new helicopter, not a repaired one,

Yeah, thats just nasty. If you want a drone, buy a drone. Otherwise learn to fly a heli properly on a sim and do it the right way. As for the Open TX with a heli..... hell no!!!!!!! Unreliable crap that I had nothing but failures with alot of planes and will never touch that shit again, but in saying that it was a couple of years ago now. Helis are extremely dangerous as most of you know so get a good radio system to start with. Still yet to see the crash but this Fr Sky just shits me.
