My father was one of the design engineers that worked on the original UH-1H for Bell helicopter. He passed away in 2012 at age 87 may he rest in peace.
You my friend have all aspects of reviewing a RC aircraft down to a fine science. All the camera angels with muliple cameras (a drone view too), graphics (pointing arrows), narration, editing, exposure, volume control, flying field conditions and flying skills are absolutely as professional as it gets!
Awesome 💯👍. This RC helicopter is fantastic. So realistic and highly detailed Hi Steve My friend. Thank you so much and God bless 🙏. See you in part 2 . Thank you
This is even more expensive then that coast guard gps/fpv heli you reviewed earlier. For this price and size it should be fully automated to fly away and bring me back some tacos.
Beautiful reproduction and would hold my interest for about an hour of flying after that I would go back to my drones. Little steep on the price, but am sure it would perfect for the purest of helicopter fans. Thanks for the video😊
Hi from the Rolex Drone channel. What a fantastic video and what a fantastic helicopter. The down side is it's nearly 1,000 euro's Blessings from Ireland ❤️ Eamon.
That is fantastic! A GPS, user friendly out of the box helicopter! I honestly tried to guess how much it would cost and my guess was $1200.00 U.S.. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is under $800! That is very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. I can't wait for the manual flight video! Thanks for the great video and making us all want one of these beastly copters!
Hi, this machine looks really nice in the air but somehow for me as a traditional collective pitch RC heli pilot it was so rewarding to learn to fly these things by myself. Of course it took a lot of time, patience, practicing and perserverance to learn flying my helis. But at least for me the way was the goal. Maybe not when crashed often and broke my birds... but from todays perspectice it is great to have learned flying from the first few "hops". But for sure its good that things are a bit easier now. Hope the technology never fails.
This is good if you are new to the hobby as you get everything included But if you already have all the equipment and want an easy to fly scale model it's expensive. I have a trex 500 fbl and purchased a scale fuselage and the H1 controller they sell flies well It's bigger no noisy tail motor and was cheaper.
Great review Steve. Can you tell me if you can install an FPV camera on it. I can't fly LOS so I need to know if you can install an FPV camera like a Walksnail HD system. Thank you.
The Detail is fantastic, but the tail rotor is on the wrong side for that model of the huey. nit picky i know but still a fact. they put it on the right side when the N Model came out that's the twin engine one.
I watched the movie Easy Rider while sitting on a bench made from Huey helicopter blades near Quang Tri, Vietnam in 1971. The blades or props were from crashed, shot- down or otherwise damaged helicopters. The whole outdoor movie theatre had these props which were painted canary yellow and mounted on cinder blocks.
I would bet that due to weight and pendulum effect this would make for a very good camera drone. Betting that if flown in manual mode would be like a gimble....noisy main gear though
Hello captain, I want to know if I take off with this model in manual mode and stay afloat for a while and then switch to automatic GPS mode and the return home function, will it return to the takeoff location?
I built about a half meter styofoam fuselage and wrapped it with orange packing tape and it won't break even if bent hard . Inside i put a bugs 3 with the legs on it . If you pretend it looks like a real model helicopter .
Works out of the box. I suggest not messing with any config files until you’ve flown it a few times. That way you’ll know for certain if after you played with the config file you made things worse or better.
I want to order the v3. There's different versions available. I need the complete set up and I'm right handed. But don't know which one to order. Any advice?
When I look at the flywing uh-1, v3, it has the options to order the RTF mode 1 or RTF mode 2. So if I want the throttle on the left side stick . Should I order the RTF mode 2 one? Cause for some reason the mode 1 RTF is a little more money. I don't know the difference to which w one I should order. Also there are different companies that sell the same brand through Amazon . I don't know who I should chose. Can you help me with that . Please . I'm lost. Lol
You demo was well done as usual. IMO: It flies great and this may be the Army brat in me (Dad flew UH-1B's in Vietnam 1963-64), but white plastic skids and white lettering? Just saying at this price I would expect a bit more attention to scale detail and less looking like a toy.
I'll say one thing . That has nothing to do about the product . It's really nice . Just the shipping on these type things. Lol Be patient. It takes a long time to get. Through any distributor. They are really from China and it can take as long as a month to get it.
I would love to have one but being retired and on a fixed income I just can't afford it at $735.08 U.S.! Why is the FAA doing everything that they can to restrict these?
Really good video.Im interested but have seen a number of 3 failures of this model right out of the box.Its a tall investment and it would be tough to walk away from a crash.Would you buy another one?Thanks for all your reviews sir!
I believe my friends and I have a total of 10 helicopters from Fly Wing, all using this system, new and old. None of us have ever encountered any problems. Honestly I’ve never seen one crash but if it did there is a 99.9999 chance it would be pilot error. Could be as simple as taking off and expecting to be in GPS mode but was actually MANUAL MODE (beginners can’t fly in Manual Mode). Or the common issue where there is a GPS ERROR (flashing light) but pilot never checks light. The versions that came before V3 required new pilots to pay attention to what they were doing whereas V3 is more forgiving. I tell everyone… if you watch 100 videos of a product and all is well but 3 of those videos show a crash and that is all you focus on, then this product is NOT FOR YOU because you’ll be so nervous that you will indeed cause a crash. You’d need to have someone stand beside you and coach you through a few flights to build up your confidence.
450 in somewhat Scale format are not affordable, yet. I love my scale micros but c'on ,for price of 6 micros you get a bigger, not as twichy and nicer Heli. Nice Flight, Capi. !!
I don’t see why not. But logic tells me that if you spent money on BAT SAFE then you’d be wise to own an RC Hobby battery charger like everyone in the RC Hobby so that you can charge, balance faster and then discharge or store unused batteries.
What would happen if you were flying in gps mode and lost the signal , would it go into fail safe and return to home or would it become uncontrollable ?
None. I have six FLY WING helis of all types and all fly and function perfectly (no issues so far). Usually the people that have are issues are the people with no RC hobby or RC helicopter knowledge or the ones with no skills that crash their helicopter and then blame the helicopter.
Well that’s awesome to hear. I have a ton of experience with Large scale RC trucks, cars and motorcycles but I have never flown anything by watching your videos on the Huey. It definitely sped interest. Mine will be getting to me on March 25. I’m looking forward to the experience other than reading the manual thoroughly. Are there. Any suggestions of things? I should check before my first flight. Also, do you know of any sites where you can get pilot figures etc. for this chopper and thank you for your response
The yellow warning sign on the tail boom is pointing the wrong way. The danger arrow should point to the tail rotor, which is spinning low enough to kill you. I worked on them in Vietnam and a young G.I. waked into one that was running and well, let's just say he never did it again.
R/C Helicopters have come along way indeed . Simplicity, stability , equal success !
My father was one of the design engineers that worked on the original UH-1H for Bell helicopter.
He passed away in 2012 at age 87 may he rest in peace.
Well done to your Dad! Sorry for your loss.
i bought a book called thank you for your service @@CAPTAINDRONE798
he was a genius I'm sure Loved the design
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you very much
I just got mine today and it is an awesome heli. Another great video Steve. Will be watching the flying duo, Captain and Jedi, in part 2! 🤠🤠

Always bringing your audience choices 👌 to make on whatever fits our needs. Awesome review 👏.
Awesome 💯👍. This RC helicopter is fantastic. So realistic and highly detailed
Hi Steve My friend. Thank you so much and God bless 🙏. See you in part 2 . Thank you
Well done done Captain!; what a great looking Copter !; also, glad to see you are on a "Permanent Vacation" !!!!!
Love the look and how it flies, great video as usual
Very nice well done video on this helicopter model. Thanks!
Nice to see a helicopter, like the rota sound as it turns off. Great build. 👍
Nice review, beautiful scale rc heli. My favorite helicopter. Thanks for the video review!
Oh my thanks for the video I seriously want this helicopter it handles so well
Fun video ! 😃
Watched it twice.
I would paint the landing skid o.d. Green.
Great review Steve !
Looks insane sounds good
Nice video very well done thank you
Nice Video Steve enjoyed watching. Its outside my fun budget.
Hi Steve....That's quite the Helicopter. Love the size if it..........👍
i like the little start up gyration on the swash plate
Whew!!!! But the price… well😮.. looking forward to pt2👍🏼
awsome review captain.
This is even more expensive then that coast guard gps/fpv heli you reviewed earlier. For this price and size it should be fully automated to fly away and bring me back some tacos.
This is extremely large and powerful compared to the coast guard heli
Yes Sir ! I like 👍
Great review, thanks 👍🏻
Good review Steve
Awesome video and editing as always Steve!
Thanks again!
amazingly nice !
Very cool!
Yes Sir,
I bought 1 this is so cool looking I hope it works out ! I'll buy another! Great 👍
That really is a pretty cool copter.
Beautiful reproduction and would hold my interest for about an hour of flying after that I would go back to my drones. Little steep on the price, but am sure it would perfect for the purest of helicopter fans. Thanks for the video😊
I have flown it and it's great 👍
Such a fantastic review - just ordered!
I’m sure you’re gonna love it!
It's awesome - a great way to build your confidence if you want to continue to advance to more advanced heli's!@@CAPTAINDRONE798
I finally just delivered mine. The new v3. Your right. It's very cool. 👍. Thanks for the honest reviews. I made sure I put the blades on right . Lol
Enjoy!
Hi from the Rolex Drone channel. What a fantastic video and what a fantastic helicopter. The down side is it's nearly 1,000 euro's Blessings from Ireland ❤️ Eamon.
Verry cool❤
Can you please do more fpv drone reviews. Really good content, keep it up
That is fantastic! A GPS, user friendly out of the box helicopter! I honestly tried to guess how much it would cost and my guess was $1200.00 U.S.. I was pleasantly surprised to see it is under $800! That is very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. I can't wait for the manual flight video! Thanks for the great video and making us all want one of these beastly copters!
The manual flight video can be viewed at any time. Just search for Part 2.
Very cool
Thank you ❤
Stability looks great...!
Thank you

meh i just want to fly scale lol
Lil expensive, but every thing is there,thanks brother Drone 👍☕️☕️✌️
That looks like so much fun.........you need the music from Apocalypse Now playing from it
Nice review great channel
Thank you kindly
Wow sooo cool ❤it
Always enjoyable. Great job!
Thanks again!
Got it .! 15 mph. Winds. I just had to unlock the remote !
Great review once again my friend! Like always.,anyway.,don't forget to look into the new walkera t210 mini, we won't be disappointed 😅! GOD bless..
Great video Steve it's a shame they don't make cheaper cool helicopters with gps looks like I will be saving up .
Whoa this looks like the perfect candidate to put a fpv hesd tracker in there and fly fpv!
battery on the way
As always, great video! Do you have a video referencing your mic + camera setup? I really like these viewing angles.
I list all my gear below each video
This is good if you are new to the hobby as you get everything included But if you already have all the equipment and want an easy to fly scale model it's expensive.
I have a trex 500 fbl and purchased a scale fuselage and the H1 controller they sell flies well
It's bigger no noisy tail motor and was cheaper.
Awesome.
Nice vid STEVE.the rc sailors crashed there's maybe he put the blades on backwards.
buying this next but with the md 500 i love them sexy looking helis
Great review Steve. Can you tell me if you can install an FPV camera on it. I can't fly LOS so I need to know if you can install an FPV camera like a Walksnail HD system. Thank you.
You can install an FPV camera system on anything, it’s all up to you which RC product you install such a system on.
Can you make a review about the eachine e200 blackhawk helicopter?
Be careful of the cabin locking pin as l noticed mine was starting to crack from the hole to the edge, have now reinforced it
I've got a few heli's !
Rotor Riot strap🤩👍🏼
I do Love Rotor Riot 😁
I love these large scale modern models. Justifying $800 in today's manufacturing seems a tad overboard.
Everything RC has become much more expensive due to improvements in tech and costs of components.
Wait for revet around fuslage. (May be version 4)
The Detail is fantastic, but the tail rotor is on the wrong side for that model of the huey. nit picky i know but still a fact. they put it on the right side when the N Model came out that's the twin engine one.
Operator, head space & timings
I watched the movie Easy Rider while sitting on a bench made from Huey helicopter blades near Quang Tri, Vietnam in 1971. The blades or props were from crashed, shot- down or otherwise damaged helicopters. The whole outdoor movie theatre had these props which were painted canary yellow and mounted on cinder blocks.
Very cool
Very nice and detailed video. We're you an engineer?
Looks great just need a Rambo figure to sit in it
Why don't they have the rotor blades spin the correct way? As a former UH-1 pilot, that drives me nuts. 🤨
Bell Iroquois. Uh1b nickname the Huey
I would bet that due to weight and pendulum effect this would make for a very good camera drone. Betting that if flown in manual mode would be like a gimble....noisy main gear though
Some grease would quiet it down I'm sure
Hello Captain, does the GPS of this model work here in Brazil normally without problems, without needing configuration?
It is an international GPS, works anywhere
Hello captain, I want to know if I take off with this model in manual mode and stay afloat for a while and then switch to automatic GPS mode and the return home function, will it return to the takeoff location?
Yes. The GPS runs in the background the entire time the helicopter is powered on.
Hello captain, can we change the GPS and manual flight modes while the helicopter is flying?
Yes
Why white landing gear? I like the new gear better, but please mold them with black plastic.
I have a problem with my Flw wing UH-1V 3
I'm a intermediate pilot. Almost A pro builder.
I built about a half meter styofoam fuselage and wrapped it with orange packing tape and it won't break even if bent hard . Inside i put a bugs 3 with the legs on it . If you pretend it looks like a real model helicopter .
😅😅
Now all u need is the predator. And Arnold
“Get to da CHOPPER!”
does it play Fortunate Son?
Hi steve, i know this isnt related to this cool helicopter. Do u have the dji mini 2 se and is it good, love the channnel.
All DJI mini drones are excellent
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks
My uh1 will be in this Friday, did you have hook the helicopter to the computer to change any head speed or anything else before flight?
Works out of the box. I suggest not messing with any config files until you’ve flown it a few times. That way you’ll know for certain if after you played with the config file you made things worse or better.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thank you so much, I have learned so much from all of your videos keep up the great work 👍🏽😝
I want to order the v3. There's different versions available. I need the complete set up and I'm right handed. But don't know which one to order. Any advice?
The radio is set to Mode 2. Mode 2 means your throttle is on the left joystick which is the most common.
Oh ok..Thanks for the info
When I look at the flywing uh-1, v3, it has the options to order the RTF mode 1 or RTF mode 2. So if I want the throttle on the left side stick . Should I order the RTF mode 2 one?

You can fix that ya kno
Hello Captain, I want to know how to configure the GPS of this helicopter

First again Steve ❤
Tried to go to the website to buy it and didn’t look like I was able?
Could be a bad connection. Amazon and the website are certainly live.

Have you had any mechanical problems with your fly wing Huey?
None. I have six FLY WING helis of all types and all fly and function perfectly (no issues so far). Usually the people that have are issues are the people with no RC hobby or RC helicopter knowledge or the ones with no skills that crash their helicopter and then blame the helicopter.

What is the rightmost switch for? Invert and normal?

Is it easy to buy some parts if you need it
Check the FLY WING website. They sell parts all over the world.
GPS Activated but will not motor start

Maybe they meant flying forward😅😂
Im disabled , fly with 1 hard
