I can’t imagine the hours of rebuilding time that breakaway nut would have save me. One reason I quit flying helis is the time it takes to repair them after a minor crash. This little dude is awesome and im sure the price will come down like with all technology. Great video!
Is it a good time to get back into RC helicopters??? The E-Flite Blade Mcpx had a plastic main gear with a D shaped hole that pushed onto the bottom of the main shaft and would rotate in a crash, like a fuse or slipper clutch. I absolutely loved that, you really had to try hard to break it. They're so light that grass can completely catch em, stoping it from hitting the dirt. Untangle and try again!
Hi Justin , nice to have someone I can understand,great job . I was talking to my dad a week ago. I told him I bought a FW 200 Heli , silence. I don't talk to my dad about rc helicopters. He made a bet with me if you get all A's in school hole year,I I will buy you that rc helicopter you keep talking about. Well this was 1976 5th grade, a Heli cost 7,500.00 dollars well the one I wanted, and I think the only one they made. He said you will never get straight A' and he's right , but his ex's girlfriend was my 5th grade teacher, she loved me and hated him. She gave me a big hug . He was a jerk to woman
For removing & tightening that 'breakaway nut' , take a look at the bottom of the nice hex tool provided! it has the nut socket built in, pretty clever. Also using the loctite is pretty risky if indeed weakens plastic as that nut is obviously plastic & could fail prematurely!
That was an awesome design feature you discovered hitting the tree. Great test/repair review. I didn't see anything in product description about that safety feature either. Makes me want to add a heli to my Kwad collection but price is out of my comfort range for now.
@@dronecamps That's what I loved about it too. Had to make you feel so better I bet when you did. Expecting the usual (worst case. Like taking a garbage bag with you on the walk of shame to put the pieces in) and discover wow, I got lucky!
I have a question and I would be very grateful If you could answer, if I don’t change take off locations, do I get away with doing the drone-dance just once and not every single time I takeoff?
Oh Man, I have like 5 helis Blades 450, 120 and spent several hours on simulator and gave up trying to fly. I now fly FPV quads, much easier and I do freestyle. Maybe one day I’ll bring the helis back out . Expensive when you crash.
@@dronecamps Yeah that’s crazy. Great invention on that breakaway nut and the head survives. I tried back in the day to get DJI Naza-H installed on my 450 for stability but never got it to work properly. Nice to see this technology finally in a smaller scale.
Hi , What's the other connector on the battery, one end is xc30 but I'm not sure if the other end is your balanced lead. Is it possible to charge this battery using my smart SkyRC charger for a balanced charge? Thanks
I was very interested until you mentioned the self centered collective. I've been out of the hobby for years and want something I can grow back into... Also, a tip (Nick Maxwell told me) to get really good is- hover with the tail stick pushed a bit to the side so the heli slowly pirouettes. Try to keep it in one spot just using the pitch/ roll stick, slowly increasing the piro speed as you gain confidence. Once you got that down, try flying in circles then figure 8's while keeping the rotation at a steady speed. Do that clockwise and counter then repeat the whole thing when you learn inverted flight. Once you get it all down I promise you'll be doing half piro-flips before you even think to try. You'll have mastered every orientation and flight direction in level flight, both normal and inverted, leaving you with a huge comfort zone/ buffer to pull into when things get hairy.
hello, I am happy to see your video because I experienced exactly the same behavior of the FW200 (at 18min30s on your video), while I was doing an acrobatics, it was upside down, and suddenly it beeped and he left on the horizon without any more control on my part.... after 2 hours of research I found him 1km away in a field thanks to the audible alarm that I heard while looking for him by bike . I have since been afraid to use it.... Have you found the cause?? THANKS
I really wanted to get the 450, but since the the 450 V2 is not available, and there's no telling when it will be, is this a good alternative? Or should I wait for the 450?
Hey Justin, your content is top quality as always! I watch most videos you release! Just a side note, I noticed you started using this Insta 360 for some of the outdoor shots, I don’t think the quality of that camera footage is any good…. Just wondering if other viewers ever mentioned that?
That's great. The initial cost of the heli becomes more affordable with the break-away nut. I think I may purchase this in the future. However, I would like to find a flight controller for my existing align 450 with those same features such as return to home, position hold etc. I know some helicopter purists will not like this but after years of flying I am thinking of having the same relaxation I have on my drone, which I interchange between modes.
I think the H1 controller is designed for a brushless tail rotor motor not a drive shaft or belt drive like Align 450. I have a Maxx ASG controller that should work but haven't tested it yet.
Would you recommend the FW200 over the FW450? I'm looking for an RTF that is 450/500/600 sized so i was leaning towards the FW450 but do you have any recommendations? Thank!
Awesome video.... Thx.... What's the range? How far can you go?.... can you do FPV long range with that helicopter?, I which you can, I'm about to get one of this for myself....I do FPV with drones, rc plane, Traxxas Summit and I will love to do it with an Heli.
I would say it’s more difficult because it’s flown line of sight. You have to be able to instantly reverse the controls in your mind when the nose is facing you or if it’s inverted versus when flying fpv you don’t ever have to do that when goggles are on.
I hate the "toy" tranny,s on these Heli,s so glad they are compatible with Futaba but I bet the programming is a nightmare !!!! good that Helicopters are getting easier as many are put off by their complexity and repairs . I have an Robbe "Heli-Command" wonder if this would work ? as it uses the same type of optical system can also be used with Nitro Heli,s, fantastic video .
Amigo tudo bem sou do Brasil e tenho um canal de hobbys aqui,tenho um fw 200 também ,queria trocar a FUSELAGEM dele aí antes de desmontar ,fui fazer um teste para ver se estava tudo ok ,mas para mi ha surpresa a bailarina não ficava reta ,na hora de decolar automático aí fui fuçar no rádio e acabei perdendo o bind a vinculação do helicóptero com o rádio ,enfim agora ele nem reconhece o rádio ,consegue me ajudar a refazer o bind ,quando ligo o rádio ele já fica apitando com um sinal de emergência só para quando aperto o botão de rolagem,se puder me ajudar ficarei muito grato ,Deus abençoe grandemente

My FW450 V2 does that 50% of the time I use the GPS mode. On top of that even if you only ever fly in 3d mode on the 450 you still have to wait for it to get GPS lock or it wont let you fly. I would not get any version of the H1 FC until they have a no GPS 6g mode as well as a no GPS 3d mode.
Sorry hit the wrong button,she said what you been upto, I said well made a bet with my dad , if you get all A's all year, I'll get you that Heli . She said you we're so nice to me, and he was such a a jerk . Well this year your getting all A's. Be nice to the woman in your life. That heli coast more than most cars in the 70's. I think it got destroyed in about 2 seconds. I'm going to show my dad this text to you will I'm flying my new heli fw 200 from heliderect . You can tell that I didn't get straight A' s with my spelling.

The reason I switched to drones. Helis will forever keep you on the bench in repair mode. Alot of money and time. Drones are more forgiving.
@@bothwellja 100%. Same here. I just prefer looking at a Heli flying as compared to a Drone. I get bored with FPV.
Is it a good time to get back into RC helicopters???

Salve ho il modello FW 450 V3 ho calibrato la bussola ma noto che l'elicottero non sta fermo per niente. E non so come risolvere il problema
I love helis!
Great video! Always educational and informative. Can you tell me if the app would also work for the fw450 V2?
Which helicopter is better: the fw200 or the fw450L V2.5? Which of the two helicopters do you recommend?
So in low battery mode does it land where ever it is and you have no control?
The bottom of that tool they gave you with it is the tool for the Nutt. Turn it upside down and have a look.
Josh, u have to wait for the tail light to turn SOLID green for GPS lock and RTH. That's why u had problems...
Quando coloca em 3d o GPS fica ativo ou desativado?
Tendo que controlar a todo momento os sticks
I wish I would had watched your video before I flew and crashed my heli. I got it fixed and it is flight better after I saw your explanations.
I have a question and I would be very grateful If you could answer, if I don’t change take off locations, do I get away with doing the drone-dance just once and not every single time I takeoff?

Did you see this one slam and hit every branch in the tree on the way down in this review? Check the after damage report!
@@dronecamps Yeah that’s crazy. Great invention on that breakaway nut and the head survives. I tried back in the day to get DJI Naza-H installed on my 450 for stability but never got it to work properly. Nice to see this technology finally in a smaller scale.
never seen a heli this durable!
Me either my friend. I was shocked when it wasn’t destroyed. If your a Heli guy you know what trees mean to RC helis. ♨️🔱
@@dronecamps I have no experience with anything other that tiny whoops but I can imagine. Absolute carnage

Hope that FPV helis were created!
Next video!
Be good to see a screen in the corner of you using the remote like on Mr Steele videos. When flying certain drones and explaining certain moves.

Did you know you can use the H1 Flight Controller and GPS module they sell for any heli....
@@dronecamps That's great! I will look for that
@@dronecamps I just ordered one :)
I think the H1 controller is designed for a brushless tail rotor motor not a drive shaft or belt drive like Align 450. I have a Maxx ASG controller that should work but haven't tested it yet.
Would you please tell me how can I bind this FW200 to my DX7 or DX6i.Thanks.
Thats really cool!
200 and 450 have the same main shaft diameter? Thanks
Would you recommend the FW200 over the FW450? I'm looking for an RTF that is 450/500/600 sized so i was leaning towards the FW450 but do you have any recommendations? Thank!
Bigger is better in my opinion!
@@dronecamps thanks I was just wondering because there seems to be more hype around the 200...but I'll stick with the 450. Thanks
Best review I've seen of this so thanks!
Yw!
flight time?? Thanks.
How if it disconect to remote? Rth? Or motor off?
Awesome video.... Thx....
What's the range? How far can you go?.... can you do FPV long range with that helicopter?, I which you can, I'm about to get one of this for myself....I do FPV with drones, rc plane, Traxxas Summit and I will love to do it with an Heli.
Very interesting helicopter. Thanks for your detailed video. Can you tell me what speed is reached in forward flight in stabilize mode?
I can’t find the app on iOS. I heard it’s out 🤷🏻♂️
Wow! 450$ is a lot but it can take a crash! Hay you get what you pay for
I have seen other videos were the green light was solid green, so maybe since yours was blinking green it wasn’t full gps and that is why it crashed?
Flight times seem a tad short?
Does this heli require FAA registration?
Sadly yes
How hard is it to fly rc heli vs full manual fpv drone?
I would say it’s more difficult because it’s flown line of sight. You have to be able to instantly reverse the controls in your mind when the nose is facing you or if it’s inverted versus when flying fpv you don’t ever have to do that when goggles are on.
It’s easy. You just gotta use a sim
Great machine! But I want to see more of your doggy! What’s it’s name?
That’s our mascot “Happy” dog. She’s a new addition to our family! ☝🏻♥️
can it be set to mode 1? Great review mate. Thxs
What exactly caused the crash? Sounds like you said it was beeping right before?
Low battery but I was inverted! 😬
Like the intro
Thanks H.E.O.!
Nice job bro air2 s army out
When inverted are the controls reversed?
No
Bro awesome vid as usual!!!
And just my luck.. a wicked crash into a tree. I can't help but give the hardest flight tests!
I wonder how this compares to the OMP M2?
The OMP does not have the stability mode and no GPS.
Just turn the tool and the handle is the driver for the little nut.
game changer
I hate the "toy" tranny,s on these Heli,s so glad they are compatible with Futaba but I bet the programming is a nightmare !!!! good that Helicopters are getting easier as many are put off by their complexity and repairs . I have an Robbe "Heli-Command" wonder if this would work ? as it uses the same type of optical system can also be used with Nitro Heli,s, fantastic video .

Should be able to duplicate that nut and 3d print it with just plain pla filament. What do you think?
Mmmmm - but Justin, WHY did it lose gps control and drift off into the tree, that is the question?
Good question. :
It didn’t. It was a low battery and mine was set to land in place it was descending and I didn’t flip out of invert mode.
My FW450 V2 does that 50% of the time I use the GPS mode. On top of that even if you only ever fly in 3d mode on the 450 you still have to wait for it to get GPS lock or it wont let you fly. I would not get any version of the H1 FC until they have a no GPS 6g mode as well as a no GPS 3d mode.
