I bought this FW450 heli after watching your video and I flew it very easily for the first time. Also a RCERA C138. Thanks for your nice and clear demo videos.
Thank you for being her with us. I love doing this, and with Megan's help, it's been a blast, but tons of work. When they're GREAT like this Heli, and so many of the RC Era Heli's - it makes life easier AND FUN!
I really love how you two work together. It's something special that is becoming less common exponentially.. You two seem to be living your best life and that's amazing. You two and your family are incredibly lucky. Cherish it!!!
I bought that exact same helicopter , it’s amazing , easy to fly and very scale. I did have 1 issue and that was calibration. I had to look up video on how to calibrate it using my computer , it was easy and only took about 5 min . Other than that , it is as advertised and you hit it in the nail when it comes abrupt stop , they should improve that . This heli will get more scale flyers up and flying with minimal annoyance and 100 percent fun . Great review
I’ve got the flywing airwolf and the braking (abrupt stopping) can be adjusted in the software. Check the software, you can probably adjust the braking on this as well. Though do bear in mind that this is rather like an emergency stop and has saved me many times.
You hit the nail on the head about buy RC Heli's or lose them, because most folks I know quit RC Heli's because of the costs associated with the learning curve crashes and associated down time, they simply said the can not afford the hobby based on that steep learning curve.
10000000% - we need more interest to get people flying them! I am slightly worried, that people may make the "leap" too early to a "ReaL" RC heli, but then it's on them...but for now, so long as we can turn off the aids, I love these helis!!!
I can confirm on full size real helicopters that there is a area of strong vibration when spooling up from idle to 100 percent flight RPM. On the Sweitzer 269 I trained on My instructor had it marked on the gauge and always said not to let the RPMs sit in that area and to just pass thru it. All of the Two bladed model helicopters I had in the past do the same. So its normal lol
@@BrianPhillipsRC I got this helicopter and the Airwolf one by Flywing. I'll probably get the Huey one too after they fixed it. You should collect all 3 if you're into scale rc helicopters.
I have this helicopter Brian and I love it and what I did is move the velcro to the other side of the battery and then that way I was able to hook the battery up without having to to turn it around for the leads to the rear,,,,,just something to think about. LOVE, LOVE your videos their so informative and thorough and another thing is I used the same velcro because it is so good and sticky and when I moved it to the otherside of the battery I checked it really good and it stuck to the otherside of the battery no problem and didn't come loose. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
We fly all kinds, and I can say, there's a lot more going on that pressing a button. The point is, I want scale, and I DON'T want a heart attack...and I'm not alone. Might not be for you, but this Bell 206 is to die for.
Hi Brian, I was blown away with your latest presentation with the Flywing - Bell 206 RTF Scale Helicopter that I ordered it in a heartbeat after I watched your video. I ordered it from your site at RCgoing and I hope mine will arrive with no issues. Also I added extra battery too. I also have the Flywing UH-1 Huey that comes with the same transmitter and is still in the box, kind of nervous to maiden it, LOL.
You don’t get the same satisfaction of building a scale chopper from scratch with all the balancing,measuring,adjusting and programming. Which is what I fly but dang this chopper is out of the box no learning to fly. Bugga is fun.
Hi Brian that’s absolutely one beautiful helicopter I absolutely love your channel the best RC channel on the website by far and the location you live in absolutely beautiful so gorgeous sincerely love and blessings from Canada sincerely love Richard ❤
Great video! I am in love with these Drone heli's! as an airplane pilot, i think it would be a perfect introduction to helicopters. I love your Energy in your videos.
Hello Brian, So I decided to purchase this Heli and bought the PNP version so I can install my own Spektrum radio and satellite receiver using the H1 adapter cable. Excited to try out this configuration as I am not a fan of the FlySky transmitter. I will gladly keep you updated, but great video explaining the advantages of GPS systems in a model Heli.
Ok , I love the video of the heli and all the radio work . It looks easy enough , I want one ! , and maybe they will upgrade the boot up time before actual takeoff , good deal talk with you later
I thought it was pretty reasonable, but we had clear skys, and I bet in clouds, it might have taken longer for GPS lock. Some of these "Heli-Drones" are SLOOOOOOOOOOOW to get GPS lock....we thought this one was pretty good OR at least good enough not to think anything of it.
You can turn it on, but have to hook it up to the PC and do it, BUT you can also just go to "3D" mode and fly it like any collective pitch heli. This heli is AWESOME!!! bprc.me/Flywing_Bell206
Bravo belle demonstration.J'apprécie toujours vos essais d'aéromodèles et videos t suis toujours très étonné par vos talents d'acteur dans vos faits et gestes oui un grand pilote et bon acteur vous pouvez tenter un casting à Hollywood !!! merci pour vos videos et bravo à tous deux .Félicitations et amitiés de France .Gérard
Only issue i had on mine is losing a servo during flight. New body (steep price imo), new servo, and recalibration i was good to go. Flywing ships pretty quick and their customer service is pretty good too. Also, make sure gos signal is solid before taking off, otherwise be ready to fly it in 3d
@BrianPhillipsRC tbh I never even asked. I had about 120 minutes on the copter at the time of failure. The fuselage was on backorder, so I ordered a super timber 1.7 after your review to keep me distracted, lol.
Hey Brian this has nothing to do with the video but it is a bit of an emergency. I just got a supreme hobbies a320 and it didn't come with a manual. I don't know the cg and I know you had one before. could you please tell me the cg by any chance that would be very helpful. I am planning to fly in 2 days
For us, it varies...we usually get our stuff in about 2-4 days, but sometimes we're getting early samples direct from China, so we might have to wait for about 2-4 weeks...depends on the item. These 206'es are gonna be state side, if you're here in USA
@@BrianPhillipsRC i live in texas. Nobody in USA has one in stock. seems like it was a one hit wonder and nobody sells them anymore. I also noticed these came out 3 or 4 yrs ago and i just now found out about them. Id like to have one but about the only place i see one for sale is ebay
I've been hearing about one of these. Never really knew much about it. But seeing it has me tempted. But that price point is much more than I thought . Might get it anyway
Very cool! Looks like there is, but the Bell 206 doesn't have 4 blades in real life, so I wouldn't be interested on this model. What are YOUR thoughts? bprc.me/Flywing_Bell206 bprc.me/FlyWing_Bell206_Parts
@@BrianPhillipsRC I was thinking the same, the real version only has 2 blades. I was curious if the 4 bladed RC version flying characteristic is different, I have never flown a 4 bladed heli before. Thank you for your responds.
In the H1 assist program you can change Al the settings. Role rate , head speed. etc. Kind of like the adjustments that can be made with my Spektrum transmitter for my fixed wing planes. Flywing heli's will return to home if battery is low as well.
Love your videos Brian! Any suggestions on how do remedy the wonderfully useless venting of the cockpit? I have drilled a grid of 1/4" holes in the see-through lower windows on the lower fuse. These are the windows just below the nose of the helicopter. The ridge vents near the top of the canopy were only half of the solution. Cheers!
Has anyone else noticed that this Bell 206 came in a box for the Flywing UH-1 Huey? You noticed that the box was previously opened, I’ll bet that had something to do with it.
That's how we got it. I bet they were scrambling to get bugs worked out, and the factory was like - QUICK, check 100% of these helis...we've had issues - LOL - but if that's what happened, good on them for doing so, since we had a FLAWLESS experience...which is what you should be able to expect from a "drone heli" like this.
I noticed when you flipped the switch to 3d from gps it lost a pretty good amount of altitude instantly! Yikes! I could imagine that creating a pretty bad situation if the gps signal is lost while you're flying around at a lower altitude.
I thought I explained this... It's BrianPhillipsRC vernacular, meaning a helicopter that is basically a drone...it flies itself. GPS controlled, Return to Home, Autonomous flight - BUT this one ALSO lets you shut that off IF you wish.
I just do it for drop dead voltage on a heli, but to be frank, this heli will land at ~ 3.6-3.7 VDC anyway, so unless I were to "cancel" the Return to Home feature, she would be on the ground WELL before the alarm sounded. I also like to have this JUST in case there's a SAGGY CELL...sometimes this will cause issues on lower cell count flight packs, like 2S or 3S, but with 4S and 6S packs, one cell sagging usually doesn't cause a complete failure, but it can ;) My "rule of thumb" is that 3.3VDC for PROP planes, and 3.6VDC for EDF's
Brian, I contacted HeliDirect a distributor for FlyWing. I asked about the flight time using the battery supplied in their FlyWing Bell 206. They told me it is about 10-12 minutes at the 65% power setting. So how are you getting almost 30 minutes of flight time.
There are! The distributor we work with ( bprc.me/RCGoing ) has an extensive offering of spare parts. You can visit their website and click on the RC Parts tab in the menu bar to see everything they offer. We've gotten spare parts from them before! ;)
Hi Brian just wanted to know if u tried charging the batteries that came with the bell heli 206 with the supplied charger and if so did it work because in the video u u used your smart charger to charge the battery
Yes, we did after we came in. The first charge was in a HURRY, at 12 Amps ;) (ooops) so we could get the flight in before sunset. The provided charger was fine, but SLOOOOOOOOW.
This Transmitter is purpose built for this Heli. Even thought you COULD make it work, it would be a HUGE Pain and you'd spend more money than if you just got a proper transmitter.
I know people can say it’s a drone and not a “real” RC helicopter. But I’ve got a couple of the OMP hobby heli’s and DJI drones. The thing with the DJI drones, is the proprietary batteries. I hate to say it, but that’s the biggest issue for me. I’m not a skill-level snob by any means. (In fact, my skills need some improvement.). As long as you have those nice chargers, you will always have batteries to fly that Bell 206. I’ve even put an FPV camera on a helicopter, it’s fun. I’m guessing there will be even more nice looking GPS helicopters on the market in the future.
Could you try the airwolf rtf version please … I like the look of that one … but only see the kit version videos. Awesome video tho ….. seriously thinking of getting this one or the airwolf … hence the request …. Keep up the great work you both do 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@BrianPhillipsRC👍 Got mine in December, love it. Flew it all winter in cold temps, 17 min on the stock battery landed at 3.7 consistently. Added lights, so much fun on a cold windy, overcast day. No issues whatsoever, nice review.
Ref that comment someone made about the cost of a 600-700 scale heli cost the same as the Flywing 450 scales in the vid. That comment simply is NOT true. I've been flying scale heli's for a long time and have two of the Flywing heli's Brian reviewed and $750 for a heli of this caliber isn't bad . Further , the 600-700 scale heli's are anywhere between $1500 and $2500 . and they aren't ready to fly and require a higher skill level pilot to fly . I can say from experience. The Flying heli's are every bit worth the money. They literally can do anything for any level pilot to include new pilots from gps beginner, scale and full 3D capability. by flipping a switch.
YES - thank you! I love flying these scale heli's, and if there weren't help aids, I'd be watching someone else do it!!! My father-in-law flew this thing!!!! He doesn't even know how to run an RC CAR! As far as cost, cost component is such a huge killer of interest on heli's, but when you get right down to it, all the best RC stuff is expensive. Now-a-days you can get into a small heli for less than $100, which is gonna hopefully SAVE the hobby, and I mean SAVE the hobby...the most skilled rc heli pilots don't seem to remember how hard it was to learn, but any of these same pilots were very comfortable on a simulator, something that helped them along so fast...I was not, and still don't do a lot of simulator flying, but SHOULD ;)
Hi Brian, very nice Helicopter I have two questions. Are the black rotor holders on the Bell 206 made entirely of aluminum or plastic? On the FW Airwolf they are made of aluminum. Which is better, the gear direct drive or a belt drive like the FW Airwolf? Thanks in advance
Where can I find additional batteries for this aircraft? Will it accept aftermarket batteries? If so Is the battery plug an XT60 , IC3 or IC5 plug? Please provide c rating requirement as well as maximum dimensions of batteries as well. Thank you.
You can find the batteries here: bprc.me/FlyWing_Bell206_Parts You could try a 3200mAh 4S Smart pack, but not totally sure what dimensions you'll need. bprc.me/4S_3200 You can definitely use an aftermarket battery. You'll want at XT60.
I have a question! Love the vids by the way. I have an NX8 radio and I'm kind of anal about linking all my aircraft to it. It seems I my have to get over this though , if I want certain aircrafts. Does it come in a BNF version or do you have to buy it RTF and would it be terribly difficult to set it up with my NX8. I really want one of these!!! Thank you Brian and Camera Lady ( don't know your wife's name ) 😁
Can you use aftermarket batteries for this Heli? Like to see more reputable distributors with this product Motion,Horizon hobby in US go support and parts! Any ideas if this will happen?
what a lovely house and plot of land for your obsession....i am so envious,,,,Godf bless America...you should consider running for president....i think you would be great.

$735... Yes, its RTF, but I'd rather spend that much on a nice mid-upper quality plane/jet.
Me too😂🎉
You can convert a regular heli by installing the H1 Auto Pilot System module and turning it into a GPS heli. They sell the unit separately on its own.
Unless your really knowledgeable I don’t think that would be easy to do!
@@Troew it took a bit of work.
That is a beautiful property you have there…👍
Thanks so much! We're working out butts off to make it into a full blown aerodrome, and hope you'll be with us to see the transformation!
I can confirm on full size real helicopters that there is a area of strong vibration when spooling up from idle to 100 percent flight RPM.

This guy reminds me of Jack Black from School of Rock, especially when he gets excited.

This looks perfect for those that like flying drones.
Must be real fun to fly an RC without touching the controls..... Hey let's push a button to land and takeoff....
We fly all kinds, and I can say, there's a lot more going on that pressing a button. The point is, I want scale, and I DON'T want a heart attack...and I'm not alone. Might not be for you, but this Bell 206 is to die for.

What happens when the heli loses gps signal? Does it automatically go to 3d
Hello Brian, So I decided to purchase this Heli and bought the PNP version so I can install my own Spektrum radio and satellite receiver using the H1 adapter cable. Excited to try out this configuration as I am not a fan of the FlySky transmitter. I will gladly keep you updated, but great video explaining the advantages of GPS systems in a model Heli.
U should
Make a video I’m curious how to do this whole set up on my dx6
WOW..Runtime..scale..seems to perform safely.. good intro to next step traditional heli with SAFE, THEN become helicopter proficient, then 3D..
Right - this one does it all, INCLUDING 3D, but I'm not about to show JUST how bad a heli pilot I am, just to prove it - LOL ;)
Love the beach chairs on the sand next to the pond :)
Thanks! They've worked out well so far!
lol no wonder helicopters are dying maybe cause a mid tier one is 750$ 😂 average ppl don't have that money to invest in a toy.
So true. I had a Raptor 30 heli and the complexity and price of repair after crashes was so ridiculous I bailed for planes.
Brian, it sounded like you were having a Heli-Gasm there for a moment. 😛
On point 😂
"Heli-Gasm" Love it! Just love the passion Brian puts out in the videos!
What happens if you don't have good GPS? Just curious can you still fly it?
Almost full size. You need to put floats on it. Seems like you got :20 minutes of flight.
Geez Gina, i always marvel at how this little chubster GeeBee R2 flies soo well. Love the close haircut before landing..

I fly 3D helicopters but would be willing to purchase one of these just to have more relaxed flights but for $735 I’m good price should be $400 max
You can spend less without as many batteries, but the GPS "heli-drones" do seem to be pretty pricey.
What a great looking heli… just NICE 👍🏻….😎
It sure is!
Awesome!!!!!😃
Sure is!
Brian, I contacted HeliDirect a distributor for FlyWing. I asked about the flight time using the battery supplied in their FlyWing Bell 206. They told me it is about 10-12 minutes at the 65% power setting. So how are you getting almost 30 minutes of flight time.
Not sure what to tell you. We were getting amazing flight times. I was AMAZED.
quality content as usual from France
Thanks! Glad to have you here with us!
Thats a chunk of change, are there spare parts available??
There are! The distributor we work with ( bprc.me/RCGoing ) has an extensive offering of spare parts. You can visit their website and click on the RC Parts tab in the menu bar to see everything they offer. We've gotten spare parts from them before! ;)
yahoo, very gorgeous drone,godspeed-😍
I’m getting one of these idec the price and the commentary bro oj the juice is loose! 🕹️🚁🔋🔌⚡️😂
That's funny, OJ where are you! This is a nice Heli. I think I need one. The flight time is long and that's great. Thanks for sharing!
Looks very nice, and by the way OJ has passed. No more shenanigans.
Hi Brian just wanted to know if u tried charging the batteries that came with the bell heli 206 with the supplied charger and if so did it work because in the video u u used your smart charger to charge the battery
Yes, we did after we came in. The first charge was in a HURRY, at 12 Amps ;) (ooops) so we could get the flight in before sunset. The provided charger was fine, but SLOOOOOOOOW.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you for the info appreciate that 👍👍
I must get this heli too.Very cool heli and sound ❤.
It's SO cool!
Question if I got a sailplane aka glider could I use this remote for that too or is this a one craft remote
This Transmitter is purpose built for this Heli. Even thought you COULD make it work, it would be a HUGE Pain and you'd spend more money than if you just got a proper transmitter.
I know people can say it’s a drone and not a “real” RC helicopter. But I’ve got a couple of the OMP hobby heli’s and DJI drones. The thing with the DJI drones, is the proprietary batteries. I hate to say it, but that’s the biggest issue for me. I’m not a skill-level snob by any means. (In fact, my skills need some improvement.). As long as you have those nice chargers, you will always have batteries to fly that Bell 206. I’ve even put an FPV camera on a helicopter, it’s fun. I’m guessing there will be even more nice looking GPS helicopters on the market in the future.
yep - Love this heli, and no complaints from me for being easy to fly. There IS a 3D mode, which will make it GOOD for just about any heli pilot ;)
Flywing going making bigger Apache! Keep looking on them...😆
Could you try the airwolf rtf version please … I like the look of that one … but only see the kit version videos.
Awesome video tho ….. seriously thinking of getting this one or the airwolf … hence the request …. Keep up the great work you both do 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi. How much flight time do you get on one pack, approximately?
It was like ~ 25 minutes! We flew it again this weekend, and same SUPER long flight times!!! Crazy for a 3000mAh 4S!
@@BrianPhillipsRC👍 Got mine in December, love it. Flew it all winter in cold temps, 17 min on the stock battery landed at 3.7 consistently. Added lights, so much fun on a cold windy, overcast day. No issues whatsoever, nice review.
Ref that comment someone made about the cost of a 600-700 scale heli cost the same as the Flywing 450 scales in the vid. That comment simply is NOT true. I've been flying scale heli's for a long time and have two of the Flywing heli's Brian reviewed and $750 for a heli of this caliber isn't bad . Further , the 600-700 scale heli's are anywhere between $1500 and $2500 . and they aren't ready to fly and require a higher skill level pilot to fly . I can say from experience. The Flying heli's are every bit worth the money. They literally can do anything for any level pilot to include new pilots from gps beginner, scale and full 3D capability. by flipping a switch.
YES - thank you! I love flying these scale heli's, and if there weren't help aids, I'd be watching someone else do it!!! My father-in-law flew this thing!!!! He doesn't even know how to run an RC CAR!
As far as cost, cost component is such a huge killer of interest on heli's, but when you get right down to it, all the best RC stuff is expensive. Now-a-days you can get into a small heli for less than $100, which is gonna hopefully SAVE the hobby, and I mean SAVE the hobby...the most skilled rc heli pilots don't seem to remember how hard it was to learn, but any of these same pilots were very comfortable on a simulator, something that helped them along so fast...I was not, and still don't do a lot of simulator flying, but SHOULD ;)
It is really awesome I have really liked the way it fly's
Does the remote feel light and cheaply made?
Hi Brian, very nice Helicopter
I have two questions.
Are the black rotor holders on the Bell 206 made entirely of aluminum or plastic? On the FW Airwolf they are made of aluminum.
Which is better, the gear direct drive or a belt drive like the FW Airwolf?
Thanks in advance
Where can I find additional batteries for this aircraft? Will it accept aftermarket batteries? If so Is the battery plug an XT60 , IC3 or IC5 plug? Please provide c rating requirement as well as maximum dimensions of batteries as well.
Thank you.
You can find the batteries here:
bprc.me/FlyWing_Bell206_Parts
You could try a 3200mAh 4S Smart pack, but not totally sure what dimensions you'll need.
bprc.me/4S_3200
You can definitely use an aftermarket battery. You'll want at XT60.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you so much.
I have a question! Love the vids by the way. I have an NX8 radio and I'm kind of anal about linking all my aircraft to it. It seems I my have to get over this though , if I want certain aircrafts. Does it come in a BNF version or do you have to buy it RTF and would it be terribly difficult to set it up with my NX8. I really want one of these!!!
Thank you Brian and Camera Lady ( don't know your wife's name ) 😁
put a camera on it Brian!
Just used your link for that Heli
Ohhhhh YEAHHH ;) Thanks! It is sooooooo dang pretty! Wait till you see her in person!!!!
There is a battery level bar on the screen of that flysky transmitter. Not sure if I'd trust it but it's there.
can you put floats on it buddy ?
Wow. Daddy likes! Looks fantastic.
It’s a 470 class
Can you use aftermarket batteries for this Heli? Like to see more reputable distributors with this product Motion,Horizon hobby in US go support and parts! Any ideas if this will happen?
I think that is just an FW450 inside
Are there no sticky sweets you can.eat while doing the demo 😮
