@@vincentcimino1963 Thank you for your kind comments. You'll love this heli. I'm still very much a novice when it comes to RC helis but who cares as long as I enjoy this hobby even though some are saying these are not real RC helis, which is kind of true. Enjoy your flights!
I’m sure I will….but as far as a scale copter goes it looks amazing in my opinion, lots of detail which for me makes up for a lot, I’m very new to this, I just want to fly and have fun….take care and keep sending the videos
Very nice looking scale heli. The details are amazing. Very good review with lots of important info. For beginners this might be a good entry to fly more advanced helicopter you can learn control step by step manually. It's expensive, and for sure expensive to crash. That's of course not the best for beginners!
Thank you for your kind comments. Yes I'm a novice when it comes to RC helicopters and like you said, I thought this was a good one to learn flying manual in but then again, it's more like flying a drone with a helicopter body... anyway who cares as long as we are enjoying it right? And if you've watched my other F09-S video, you'd already know what happened... haha. Thank you once again!
@@uncleraymond I will watch the other video as well! I love to fly manual controlled helis now. But I had to take some costly crashes, buy many new parts and for sure it was not always big fun! Good that people nowerdays have the choice to go their own way! Enjoy and happy flights! The most important is that we enjoy what we do! You are right!
@@RCCopterLove You got that spot on! I’m hoping to get a 450-sized MD500 but will have a GPS in it and manual options. But first, I’d have to repair the F09-S and continue practicing on flying that before my next big purchase. You enjoy your flights too!

from what i know the footage of the recording heavely depends on the screen you receive it on. i remember seeing a video where a guy compared 5 of them. and some had horrible recording and others had verry good recording. but in all cases the recording was lower quality than the live view. so. maybe a capture card or something?
yep. the camera isnt very high quality to begin with and the vibrations didnt help. not so sure about the screen but i'm not that into flying fpv so i didnt bother. if i want footage i'd just stick my Insta360 GO 2 on it!
Yes. At this price, you're basically paying for its scale details and also the GPS, which is kind of ok for a novice like me. I will perhaps in the near future spend another couple of hundreds on top of this to get a 450 or 500 size heli, with the GPS of course! I'm not into 3D flying though, more interested in scale.
Nice video! 🤩 I am contemplating getting the new Apache by the same brand Yuxiang or the RC ERA C123. Which one do u think is a better buy? The RC ERA is like 3 times cheaper. The only thing im worried about is the Apache parts are expensive if i crash the heli. Thanks for your advice buddy!
Hey bro, F11 is more for you if you like the scale look of the thing. Both doesn't have GPS positioning, unless you get the F11S. If it's me, I won't get the F11S as a few hundreds more I can get a bigger scale heli from Roban or FLISHRC, with GPS and it's RTF too!
@@user-ww2bz1ec7o Bro, one is a helicopter you can fly easily without much experience, and the other is a full-fledged RC EDF jet, which one do you think is easier to fly? Haha... If you're good with flying EDF planes, then the F14 is a no-brainer. Good quality too.
Hello, I would like to ask you if you know how the connection of the camera on the transmitter with recording works, period, I still can't get it to work somehow. Thank you for your answer, thanks
Do you have an FPV display like I did? Or are you referring to pressing the record button on the transmitter? That also did work for me. If you can give me more details then it will be easier for us to work out the solution together?
@@uncleraymond I bought this, YSIDO-Monitor FPV de 5,8G, 40 canales, 7 pulgadas, DVR, batería integrada, 5802D. and I've already tried several instructions that I found and it's simply not possible to start recording on this device with the Transmitter, I think it's meant for a different model or a different type
@@lubosvyleta473 Hmmm... most of these FPV monitors are similar. What I did was switch on the power to the heli first, assuming camera is already attached and the camera should power on with a blue light. After this, switch on the monitor and just do an auto search from the monitor. It should scan through and find the the camera. My heli is still awaiting repair. Let me see if I can take it out from the project pile and try it out again. Else you could always try it with another monitor if you have some lying around.
@@uncleraymond She is my very first helicopter with a camera and with that display, so now I have nothing else to use as a compromise as a second option, anyway, thank you comma and I'll try to think of something And I'll try and try and if so I'll get back to you and we'll try something again Thank you very much Greetings from the Czech Republic, Luboš
@@lubosvyleta473 I see. Ok. That's the thing with this RC hobyy, you get addicted and end up buying more stuff. That's what I did with one of my planes, where I bought parts just to test out certain components etc. Czech Republic! I want to go there for a holiday next time! Greetings from Singapore!
@@jannacino5495 What are you looking for? F09 (non-GPS), F09S (GPS), or the F11? F09 is the army Black Hawk, F09S is the US coast guard livery, and F11/F11 is the latest Apache.
I would have to say no its not worth your money when it struggles to even get a gps signal. Let alone a good signal. So might aswel get the one without gps that allowes for full 3d flight
Hi! So far I haven't had issues with getting a GPS lock, especially when I'm flying at an open space. Considering how satellite signals can be sketchy around an urban landscape like Singapore, I'd say the F09-S has been so good so far. Oh yes if you're into 3D flights, then yes, you'd probably be better off with a Flywing F450 or one of those OMPHOBBY kits.
@@uncleraymond i found a big open space outside of the city. sat it ontop of my car for 10 minutes and had 2 sattalites. set it on the ground for 15 minutes and it had 6 sattalites and cleared itself for flight. took off and it flew nice for a little bit. noticed it acting weird when ever i turn it. (tried to turn in place and it just drifts sideways) untill it started freaking out. could barely steer it past my car. almost hit my leg. few more circles around me. barely managed to get it back under control landed and just went home. earlyer at home trying to test it. i got up to 10 sattalites maybe even 12 at one point. and it wouldn't even clear itself for flight. (also only had those satalites in one tiny specific spot in my yard.) it flies nicely when not using gps. using the bottom sensor it's able to stay in place above grass and i can let go of the controller to film. maybe the netherlands just isn't a place to do this. even though one would expect the big flat country would be great for this. in any case i severely regret buying this thing. they didn't even bother PID tuning the tail rotor propperly for doing the circle. that's an absolutely horrible sound that the tail rotor makes.
@@uncleraymond so unless there are gps modules available that i can replace, this thing has been a waste of my money. because it cannot do the 3d acrobatic flights that the f09 can do. technicly that's the heli i really wanted. don't get me wrong. i love the things that it CAN do. but mine is just a defective unit. and 600 dollars wasn't a good price for a show model.
@@darkracer1252 I feel you. Sometimes we do get “lemons” like these. I remember watching another RC RUclipsr’s maiden on a Flywing Huey, crashing after taking off and it was due to the tail rotor being installed in the reverse direction from factory. Sometimes things like these happen. But we can take pride and joy in the fact that we can diagnose and fix the issues, which is half the fun in this hobby isn’t it? Anyway I wish you well brother and hope your other RCs go well!
Yeah... this is more for noobs like me who's starting out and wants RTF. Technically you could build something better yourself for that price if you have the know-how.
oh god i didn't finish the video before. the footage of that camera is awesome. and the heli can fly with it easy.
verry nice indeed.
Yes the Insta360 GO 2 camera is "light enough" for this heli. Initially I thought it would throw the balance off but it wasn't that bad.
05:16 hahaha i know this moment. the panic when it first powers up and you quickly throttle down and look for the lock switch :P
yes yes... it can be scary during maidens! i did lose an RC plane on its maiden so i know how it feels. but i did in my panic lock the motor instead of switching the flight mode back to auto when i flew manual, and hence this repair that is happening now. haha
