For anyone new the helicopters, always straighten out your rotor blades before powering up. This will prevent potential damage to your servos and rotor system if your blades bind up with each other. DO NOT do what he did in this video………..
Your videography and enthusiasm is spectacular, congrats. Excellent introductory review, highlighting most of the fabulous positive attributes of this fine helicopter. I have 3 of these, 2 with add-on scale bodies but have left my v.3 just like you demonstrated today. The reason I left my v.3 "pod & boom" is because practicing more advanced flying SAFELY is a goal and this heli's new "altitude recovery" feature allows me to do this stress free. Left me briefly outline this new feature found in the latest version of the FlyWing software (version 2.0, downloadable from the FlyWing website): You preset a desired altitude in the software where the heli AUTOMATICALLY switches back to GPS from 3D mode when you drop below a selected, preset altitude. In other words, I'm up trying some new maneuver in 3D mode (above 20' is my preset "safe" altitude barrier) and I make the inevitable screw up, lose orientation, my brain is mush and the beautiful green v.3 is about to make a huge, smoking hole in the desert...but wait!!! As soon as the heli drops below 20', it AUTOMATICALLY switches to GPS mode and corrects, hands off, saving the aircraft. Extraordinary! Amazing! Us old guys have been waiting for this for years...
This is very nice! How much additional weight can it carry ? I want to 3D print various military helicopters and use this as a flying platform for them. Also add an FPV. Can this carry all this weight or should I get a bigger one ?
BIG B IM LOVIN THE CONTENT AND I HAVE HERE TO A COUPLE OF PROP QUESTIONS. CAN YOU SUGGESTC A COUPLE OF PROPS (SIZE/PITCH/MFG.)TO START WITH ON YOUR LITTLE ATLAS VAN LINES HYDRO AnD YOUR SHRIMP OUTRIGGER. ONCE IVE GOTM I IDEA OF WHERE TO START I CAN FIGURE IT OUT MYELF THANKS IN ADVANCE
@@MotionRC Way back around the first of May, a guy on your chat named Ed told me to send the admiral 4S 5000 back to your store and that it will not fit!?
he said 6-8 minutes flight time, thats wrong you get a lot more than that. I got 15 min. with a 3000 mAh battery. helicopter comes with a 5000 mAh battery
Well it is a helicopter, yes it has a GPS antenna which you can fly with it off which is called 3D mode which it flies like any other flight controller. There is other flight controllers that offer a GPS antenna and can be turned off the same way. Yes with the GPS it flies more like a dron style but it is still a helicopter.

Exactly, I was thinking that too 👍

I have this helicopter. It flies great, especially in ATTI mode.
set mine for atti mode also instead of 3D flight and set it so the timer starts automatic when i flip on the run switch
Very nice review.... congratulations 👏

Looks great

what are the two buttons on the backside of the transmitter for? and is there a more detailed manual for it? mine just came with a quick start guide
Hi. If i lose GPS while in the air what can i do to gain control before it hit something else
Does the FW450 come with the case?
We show it in this video at 1:11
Not sure the Admiral 5000 fits......are YOU sure.......lol
the 5000mAh 4S Admiral fits and works beautifully
I sent my Admiral 5000 battery back, will not fit properly!!
@@ccbusa05 Thats strange. Email me at marketing@motionrc.com and I can send a picture of it fitting.

Awesome technology, but now the future generation of r/c pilots will forget how to properly fly an R/C helicopter.
Spooling up a helicopter with the blades folded is a terribly bad idea! It can destroy your model. Always straighten out the blades before takeoff
ahhhhh stop saying heli🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂
I can't! the video is pre-recorded and not live....

Yes, say something like rotochoper thingy. Now get to the rotochoper thingy now.
That twirlybird is awesome.
