    I just got the FLY WING Huey UH-1 and right out of the box I got a GPS Connection Exception error (constant blinking red light). Support told me I need to calibrate the compass which i did successfully many times. I ordered a new FlyWing H1 FC GPS Long Wire which should remedy the problem. Great eye opening video presented in a professional educational format. UPDATE: Replacement GPS module installed, recalibrated and flys like good in GPS. When switching from GPS mode to 3D, the Heli descends, so I have to push up on the collective past center, need to figure out how to tune that and I'll have a good heli.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  6 месяцев назад +1

      Sorry, but the H1 won't teach anyone how to fly inverted. It will only make your regular flying worse. Stick with the Beast (it flies much better than the H1 ever will), and learn your inverted orientations, first on the simulator and then apply those skills out at the field. I cover inverted progression skills (actually Bert does) on day 11 "How to Fly Helicopter Aerobatics in the flight school section of my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com/how-to-fly-3d-helicopter.html
      If you need electronic help aids, then get a FBL system that has inverted rescue auto-level such as the Ikon. The H1 won't work as a rescue system, it will likely crash.

    Hi John, rather than trying to bind a Spectrum radio to the H1 what radio is automatically compatible to the H1?

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  Год назад +2

      As I state in the video and again in the description, compatibility has *nothing* to do with radio brand or protocol, it has to do with the receiver pairing; specifically that the receiver has an S-BUS output port. That is how this system communicates with the the RX via S-BUS. Nothing is going to be "automatically" compatible out of the box, it all requires radio setup and programming. I suppose if you wanted to distill things down to the most basic/seamless integration with the least amount of TX programming, you would get a radio that has Futaba channel mapping order out of the box (AETR), be at least 9 channels, and get a 9 ch+ RX for it that has an S-BUS output.

  • @peterkonrad4364
    @peterkonrad4364 4 года назад

    what I would need is a function to set up a box on my flying field, where the heli can't leave the box. so the H1 would detect if the heli is about to leave the box and then take over control to stop it from leaving the box. especially of course when it is about to hit the ground. I know that the altimeter has some inaccuracies due to varying air pressure, but a tolerance of 3 meters or so would be enough for me. and then when the heli is saved, in the box at a safe height, you can take over control again. man that would be so handy.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад +2

      It mixes in some tail rotor pitch to counter main rotor torque the moment the collective is increased to help the tail gyro out so it doesn't have to play catch up as much when moderate to large collective torque spikes hit. It's generally called something like torque compensation, collective pre-compensation, or tail pitch pre-comp on most FBL systems. I've never seen it referenced as DMA, thus the confusion I had. DTA would make more sense (dynamic torque assist). In GPS mode it's not needed at all since the collective response is so slow and tame so there are no drastic main rotor torque spikes created. You only need collective/tail torque precomp when introducing sudden and large collective pitch changes. If you did dial it in or too much of it, you would likely notice the tail kick out slightly in the opposite direction of main rotor torque every time you gave sudden and high amplitude collective commands.

    Thank you John for the help and advice you’ve provided.
    Since I fly JR still I didn’t have SBUS or PPM available until I located. Spektrum AR7700 Rx which has PPM output.
    Today everything went fine with the setup UNTIL my buddy and I realized that when we applied elevator the collective calibration display responded. I’m not sure how to fix that until I can buy the same FrSky radio system you use in a few months. Any fixes you can recommend in the meantime or am I dead in the water until then?
    Thanks in advance!!

      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад +1

      Good to know about the AR7700 as a working RX option. I'll add that important info in the description for other JR/Speky DSM users.
      As for the elevator/collective issue. Yes, that's exactly what one would expect since as I mentioned, the H1 uses Futaba channel mapping (AETR) not JR/Spektrum mapping (TAER). Should be able to sort it with some creative mix programming.

      Once again, and as I clearly state in the video & what is stated in the instructions - you DON'T USE PITCH or THROTTLE CURVES. You use a linear output for channel 3 to give a symmetrical +/- collective range (-12 to +12 in the case of this heli). Throttle output is dictated by what is set in the H1 Setup wizard.

      Doesn't work on nitro (at least I wouldn't trust it). 1. Only allows fixed throttle output so you can set carb position during priming starting, cold idle, fast idle etc. Also likely can't handle the high vibration environment of a nitro.

    Thanks for the intensive review, in your earlier review of this item you said it could be implemented on a gas powered helicopter but I don't see how that is possible since there's no input for governor sensor for a stabilized throttle control , or do you think otherwise?

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад +4

      Many gas and nitro helis use stand alone governors to control the throttle servo (such as the Futaba GV-1 governor). All that is required is a fixed throttle PWM signal output which the H1 has. Also, you don't necessarily need a governor at all on nitro or gas. We flew them for years without such technology by using creative throttle servo to carburetor linkage arm geometry before computerized radios gave us the power of throttle curves which worked much better. Of course, the H1 gives no such ability with only two single fixed throttle output signals and would have serious limitations when used with IC.
      In the review, I was merely stating the H1 specs which indicate its compatibility with nitro. I would certainly not condone ever using the H1 with any fuel powered heli nor do I think it would work well for the reasons I just mentioned.
      Who knows if the H1 can even handle the high vibration environment of a nitro or gasser? That would be another big concern. Again, I was just stating the specs in the manual when I mentioned it worked with nitro. In theory it will, but in practice I would personally never install it on a large fuel powered machine.
      Moreover, it's bad enough that people with no collective pitch flying skills can take to the sky with this thing on an electric. The last thing our hobby needs is a bunch of fuel powered helicopters being flown by people who don't know what they are doing. Good bye hobby.

    Hi there john,
    I am new to flying Helicopters, but have been heavily involved in racing RC off-road 8th scale since the early 90's. i have also built and flown FPV quadcopters. My question is about the voice speaking your radio switch positions. I use an Frsky 2019 X9d-SE running EdgeTX. My radio does speak some things, but yours appears to speak EVERYTHING. Is this just sound files put on the sdcard? If so, where do i get them? If not, how do I get the speaking set up? Thanks for this video. I had an old Trex450 on the shelf that I stuck an H1 into. It did NOT work with the original ESC, motor wouldn't arm, so I put an Emax 60amp running blheli into it and now it spins the motor normally. While I am going over the setup 1 more time, I came across your video. (They actually linked to it in the setup software, Click "Tutorial" on the sensor page) I also purchased your setup guide for newbs like me. Aside from this chopper, I purchased a new TB40 kit, rotorflightF7 controller, Frsky Neuron2 60amp ESC, and a set of KST servos. I want to fly the old chopper first, then build the new one. Simply so I have confidence in my ability to set the swashplate properly.

      I use the "Amber" voice pack on all my radios running Open/EdgeTX . I downloaded mine from OpenTX University's website. I'm sure there are also downloads in the Open & Edge TX forums and in GitHub and Amber is not the only voice pack out there as you likely know.
      Keeping in mind regardless of which voice pack you use, you have to program your radio to activate those different voice call outs and sound files if you want more than the few that are automatically enabled out of the box.
      If you're unsure how to program voice call-outs, I cover it in part 1 of the OpenTX for helicopters video: ruclips.net/video/XdFOndPG7xo/видео.htmlsi=vM0ka943r2Pj-_D4

    at 6:07, when you powered the radio controler you must have "plugged the battery to the system" as the H-1 with USB feed in only cannot send enough voltage to power the Receiver.

    Great video John. I loved two of your books I bought...setup & tips for electric collective pitch rc helicopters and How to build training gear for RC helicopters. Between youtube, flight Sim S/W and your books I have taught myself to build and fly non 3D at an intermediate level. Now I just bought a used Trex 600E flybar chopper. Can I remove the existing gyro and install the H1 on the E600 without buying a flybarless head and run it with the existing flybar? I would only run the H1 in non 3D mode and use it basically as an emergency attitude recovery system while I gain experience on the E600. Eventually I would buy a flybarless head and dip my toe into 3D tricks using the H1 to bail me out of trouble. What do you think?

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад +2

      The H1 like almost all FBL units won't work with flybared heads; it must be used with flybarless. Also, the H1 is not a "bail out" or "rescue" unit. It won't work (at least well) in that capacity. If you want rescue, then get a proper FBL unit with that specific function such as an Ikon2, Bavarian Demon Axon, or Spirit.

    I hope yoi are still monitoring this thread. Thank you for all the variable information that you have shared with us here. When you set your swash plate, do you do that at half throttle? Thank you.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  Год назад +1

      Not sure what you mean by "set your swash plate". Set it to what? Your cyclic pitch range, collective pitch range or leveling it?
      If it's leveling you're referencing, as with all collective pitch helicopters and as shown in the video, it's leveled mechanically at mid point on the pitch curve. It has nothing to do with throttle output. With that said, the H1 setup wizard automatically sets the collective output to all swash servos at mid value (1500 micro seconds) so collective channel output value on the radio is not important at that step since the H1 overrides it.
      If your question was not related to leveling, please contact me on my website with technical questions like this since YT comment section is a poor medium for sorting technical issues and I rarely see second posted questions whereas I always see every email question and follow ups on my website: www.rchelicopterfun.com/

    Dear Mr.Salt. Thank you for very helpful videos on RUclips!!! May I have a question, please? I´m struggling with one think. Usually I´m flying on left stick cyclic completely and on right stick gas with tail, as well. Normally it is mode3. But! On the H1 diagram (setup assistant) I have problem with correct stick moving (indication). With this mode3 are changed throttle with elevator - I mean when I move collective stick (pitch) the diagram indicate moving of elevator and reversed. Correctly goes it if I change the transmiter mode from 3 to 4. But in this point I have unfortunately pitch on the left stick. I have no idea, how to harmonize the correct moving between sticks and the diagram. I suppose when it is on diagram incorrectly, will the unit also in flight incorrectly work. Do You have any tip for me please? A big thank to you in advance, Vlastimil (please, sorry for my English)

      Contact FlyWing tech support. I don't even know if you can change channel mapping within the H1 (I don't think you can). This to me would strictly be a computerized radio programming issue to remap the outputs for different stick modes.

    Hi John . Great instructional video . I fly a Roban 600 EC145 ( T-Rex 550x mechanics ) thanks to your tutorial it flown a dream first time no issues I just followed your instructions. Now I need a little advice for my new build A Roban 700 Apache. Almost there with it but. I’m using a castle edge 160 ESC ( no internal BEC ) and external BEC pro that has two input leads . I know these can and should go into the ESC port of the H1 using a Y splitter but my question is what about the ESC throttle wire , can I ( using another Y splitter ) in essence running parallel to the BEC . Also would I need to disconnect the red wire from the ESC . Hope you can help . Great stuff

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  Год назад

      Sorry no idea on BEC pro. I use stand alone RX batteries on all my large machines. As far as I know, ESC connectivity would be the same however since there is no BEC in the Castle HV ESCs so you don't have to remove the red wire from the throttle lead. Of course always confirm with Castle's wiring diagram or contact their tech support if you are unsure, in the off chance the 160 is different from the rest. I've only run the 120HV since these big Robans sip current and will rarely pull over 60 amps if you manage your cyclic and collective energy well.

    John,
    Thanks for the review and setup of the H1-GPS system. I'm a 75 year old kid and haven't flown my Trex 500 esp for several years due to arthritis issues. After your review I purchased a FW 450 v2 helicopter and I'm extremely pleased that I'm back enjoying my hobby. I would like to update my Trex 500 to the H1-GPS system. For mild flying what servos and esc would you recommend. I know the H1-GPS requires a higher voltage of 7.4 vdc. My current system is setup for 5vdc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  3 года назад

      Howdy Darrell, Glad to hear this technology has allowed you to get flying again. As I mentioned in the review video, that's the H1's single best attribute.
      As for your Trex 500ESP, I guess the first question is have you converted it to flybarless already? The H1 like every other FBL system only works with flybarless rotor heads.
      For powering the H1 and servo recommendations, there are an array of options at your disposal. You can keep the original ESC if you wanted and use an external BEC for example, or a dedicated RX battery. Servos same thing - several workable options to consider depending on what you are using right now along with what receiver you are running along with what radio system.
      Best to contact me through my website on my contact page ( www.rchelicopterfun.com/contact.html ) for more complex technical topics like this as I rarely see follow up questions in the comments section of RUclips.
      But if your 500ESP is still fly-bared, then all that is moot unless you already have or plan to convert it to flybarless.

      Very difficult, impossible actually, to diagnose H1 functionality issues remotely. Way too many variables to sort through. Only thing that jumps out at me is you mentioned throttle stick calibration. The H1 doesn't use a throttle stick output from the radio. Channel 7's output alone turns the throttle signal on or off. The single speed throttle output level is set with the throttle output setting in the H1 setup wizard. Both sticks also have to be held in the bottom right corners (as shown in the review video I did on this thing) before it will allow a throttle output - very much like a quad copter ESC arming procedure.

      I cover the basics in my swash ebook, but even better is to follow the IKON FBL setup wizard to the letter.

In the past decade of of setting up FLB systems now, there is no substitute better than the setup wizards in my opinion. They make the process simple and fairly goof proof.

Turned the head speed down a few % took it for another test flight and no tail bounce flies great,
    Also noticed on the set up program software the (DMA collective) setting in parameters settings, have you worked out what it is for, im wondering if it is speed for the collective pitch, how fast heli lifts and decends.

      Thanks for the feedback. I say what DMA collective is in the description. It's same thing as collective pitch to tail rotor pre-compensation. Adds in a little tail anti-torque the with large collective commands to give the tail rotor a head start for the torque spike that is about to hit. Only needed in normal gyro mode as collective response is so slow in GPS mode there is very little torque spike produced.

      No, I said no such thing. I said to CHECK the MANUAL to see what RX outputs will work with it. I know for 100% certainty it works with S-bus since that's how I have mine hooked up as per the manual. I have no idea if a Spektrum's satellite RX's PPM signal would be compatible or not. I would venture to say it isn't since DSM is not mentioned anywhere in the manual, but that is just an educated guess. Of course If you have a DSM2/X RX that has an S-bus output (I'm not a Spektrum user anymore, but I think some of their newer RX's have an S-bus output port & some aftermarket ones), then that would work. Best to contact Fly Wing with compatibility questions like this - I can only relay what is stated in the manual and what is working in my application... S-bus.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад

      Transmitter model, brand, or protocol plays little roll in compatibility. As I state in the video and what is in the H1 owner's manual, it's the RX (receiver) that communicates with the H1 that is important. That RX needs either an S-Bus or PPM output to communicate the signals to the H1. The H1 has no internal RX, so you must use an external RX with the H1 - no exceptions!
      I'm not a Spektrum user anymore so I have no idea of which Speky receivers have S-Bus or PPM output ports but I do know they exist. One example is given in the description but there may be more (both Spektrum & aftermarket DSM2/X receivers).
      As for the DX8, it will work fine with the H1 (with the correct RX), but you will be limited with 8 channels if you want the invert function since it operates on channel 9.

    • @Rchelicopterfun
      @Rchelicopterfun  4 года назад

      If you have channel 5 output setup correctly, you will see the channel 5 indicator in the setup wizard moving accordingly. So as long as you are seeing the 3 different selections (3D, GPS, RTL) come up when you move your 3 position channel 5 toggle, you know you have your channel 5 setup correctly. Since I don't fly with Futaba, I however have no idea how you set your failsafe channel positions so it defaults to the RTL channel 5 output if RF signal is lost. That would be in your Futaba manual how to set fixed channel outputs when the RX goes into failsafe.
      Yep, as I said in both the review and this setup video, one of the biggest limitations with the setup wizard program is there is no way to save the parameters, so if you go back into setup new heli, it wipes everything clear and you have to start all over again.
