Commented on a previous recent v.3 video and was very impressed. I’m the old Viet Nam Huey jockey that wrapped my FW 450 v.2 mechanics in a scale Huey body dressed up like the “C” model gunship I flew with the 191st Assault Helicopter Company out of Dong Tam, South Viet Nam in 1969-70. (Gun platoon named “Bounty Hunters.) So, being an old man now, flying R/C heli’s since my first Kalt Baron “60” from Circus Hobbies in the early 1980’s (Century VII radio), you can imagine how relaxing and enjoyable it is to still be able to fly-completely stress free-with the new technology offered by Flywing. And for those naysayers you might encounter on other TH-cam or heli forums, this technology allows young newcomers and decrepit, old guys like me, to safely and comfortably remain active in this great, rotary-winged facet of our hobby. Again, thanks for yet another comprehensive video that keeps the juices flowing even in the constricting veins of this 76-year-old “sling wing” pilot. My name is already placed on order for this upcoming v.3 in a couple suppliers, whichever releases first.
"this technology allows young newcomers" You mean they shouldn't have to attempt to fly for a few seconds and then rebuild their aircraft after each short flight? But they're miss all the fun! Seriously, I tried to learn to fly an RC heli in the early '80s (I'm about 16 years your junior) and it was expensive and very time consuming. Flight simulators made learning a lot easier. These new helicopters look flyable even without simulator training. I'm looking to purchase one of these modern flybarless helicopters but I'd like the heli to be compatible with ArduPilot so I could use it to fly autonomous "missions." Thanks for sharing your Viet Nam story. I'd love to see video of your scale Huey. I don't suppose you'd consider posting videos on TH-cam? No fancy editing needed. Just upload the video. My various robot video are nothing fancy but it's fun to have a place to share these video. Good luck and happy flying.
@@ddegn Hi Duane, Thanks for the response. Funny about the “newcomers”. Sorry, don’t know anything about ArduPilot, but I’ll bet our Alishamao can respond. None of us old timers where I fly have kept our ancient video cameras and all of us agree these “phone” videos you see are weak. So, no videos for me but I do have photos of both my FW450 v.2 “Huey” and my FW450 v.1 “Hughes 500. Is there a way to send them to you?
Thank you for your insight and comment. wow, a real heli pilot. man, huey in real life sounds super awesome. i have seen them in flight personally. wish one day i could build myself a micro light electric helicopter so i can fly myself. using H1, it will be super easy to fly. totally agree with you, new tech has open this amazing hobby to everyone to enjoy.
Ardu pilot is a flight controller with software that supports many types of aircraft, and even vehicle and boats. you can configure planes, helis, drones, vtols, boats, cars with ardupilot and even fly or drive autonmous missions. but the setup, and tweaking of parameters to get good results is nothing but pain in the b*** :D hahaha h1 is super easy and i hope soon they will introduce some kind of way to integrate it to waypoints software.
Great helicopter Ali for beginners. The technology is always getting better. your reviews are always educational and fun to look at. We wish you lots of fun with your hobbies Ali. 😃🤚 👍👍👍
Amazing! I am contended with my FW450 v2 but CANNOT resist the "temptation" to back it up with lovely and unique model. Than you AliShanMao and keep on with your excellent reviews and human enthusiasm for this Hobby
Thanks for another great video. I would like to see more of the non flywing mechanics of the V3....How if anything the H1 difference from the H1 V2....direct drive I assume, I also assume still need to be calculated like the V2...whese is the gps unit etc. Thanks Much.Because of your vids, I have the FW200, the FW450 V2 and the Bell206......
@@richallen7989 a bit correction, H1 V2 is the one used on FW200. I will call this new H1 used in FW450L V3 as H1 V3 myself. haha....not official....Anyway....FW450L V3 will be in your shopping cart real soon.....haha
I learnt 3D flying with a 50 size raptor. Amazing piece of kit. My concern with this is it’s too easy and thus people will become complacent on how dangerous that spinning disc really is.
Good point. This is a 450 and I'm sure it can do some damage but I can't imagine someone flying a 700 or 800 with gps because they don't have any skills. I know my 700 has a main rotor diameter of 5' with carbon fiber blades spinning over 1800 rpm. One guy about 90 miles away from where I live hit his own neck with a 700. He ended up on an autopsy table.
Man I was watching your videos idk like 15 years ago ! When you was working at redcat if my memory is good. TH-cam recommended me your vid today, happy to see your still in the hobby !
As always, a great video Ali,Would have been nice to show some under the hood footage,I think that is what we all have been waiting for,what are the NEW changes ? the canopy is obvious ,what else ? as for flying my V2.5 is the same,so show us "under the hood" why it is better than the previous versions.
Wow that's very beautiful helicopter, I've never seen that helicopter capable of doing almost of 3d flight mode,I'd like to have one of coolest easy to fly to helicopter.ive own Align T ReX 450 pro v2.thanks Ali for making these Video. You're a good person I hope you're in good health. Best of luck to your channel.
Alex,why do you suppose there is NO under the hood footage "videos", only flying videos ? I think we all would like to know what all of the new upgrades are and why they are better,or are there any new upgrades ? looks like there hiding something ??
Hello 👋🏾 from Montréal Québec it in Canada 🇨🇦 amazing 🤩 improvement compaire to my Heli-max 400 pro longtime I seen video from you keep posting am watching all your videos
I was watching another video, of someone flying the V2 version. He too was doing Piro Flips with the V2. He didn't know what he was doing, as he didn't know what he was doing, was and ACTUAL trick, but the V2 IS capable of doing them. He obviously didn't know what a side Tic Tok was, so he didn't attempt it. He did show doing a sideways invert, but he just left it there for about 7-8 seconds, and flipped it back. I'm curious to see if the firmware in the V2 will make it do smooth Side Tic Toks like you're doing. You REALLY showed some of what the newest V3 can do. I can't wait to see more!
to be honest i have not tried lifting a payload or towing a plane with this helicopter. it does have good power, but try everything at your own risk :) GPS system for sure can help in towing process
you can do off line calibration too. there is a method of off line calibration for h1 lite. where helicopter does not need to be physically connected with usb during the calibration. only connect to start calibration. flywing has posted a video of that method.
hey ali, I learned on a Thunder Tiger Raptor 90SE (I know, one heck of a trainer haha). I understand in 3D mode there is no GPS or stability, however, does 3D have anything like a heading hold lock like an old Futaba GY401 Gyro? Or is the tail going to go whacky like some Kavan from the mid 1970s? lol
So I saw you had a message on your video that said you had just had taken the helicopter out of the box and flew it in this video and you did not have to program it, All the programming was done at flywing so is that correct? Thank you Ali always love your videos, I have not been watching alot after my wife of 44yrs passed away 😢, I try to keep up-to-date with your videos.
you are welcome. yes normally for flywing helis. you had to do compass calibration. but now with V3 gps you do not have to. however i would still suggest to double check everything before flying and then goto field. my sincere condolences for your loss. She is in a better place. one day we all have to go. stay strong my friend. life goes on and we need to make sure we live our life to fullest.
Does fw450 v3 only invert sideways when using GPS? The fw200 you can use the right stick to flip front or backwards into invert flight via Acro Flight mode...
Dear Alishanmao, How did you do to have this FlyWing FW450 V3 ? You engage $499 USD on the kickstarter website and you receive the Helicoper RTF. I seem to dangerous ways I see they have more than 81 buyers now for this topic. CAn I buy one surly ? With a french delivery ? Many thanks for your reply. Now I fly with V2 version with a belt. And many thanks to take time for your rc reviews (pouce levé)
Hi Buddy, I am helping Flywing to test this helicopter. I received the worlds first sample. i was the only one to get a V3 in this whole world. They sent me for my testing, feedback and help to improve helicopter and software. i have been testing this helicopter since December 2022 but did not post any videos as it was a brand new product that required much testing. with lots of testing and feedback, i helped flywing develop this product into a mature product that you see now. You can order from kickstarter. or if you are worried, you can wait and order from dealers once its available.
I am always amazed by tech like this. Sadly, there are a lot of naysayers what come up with all kinds of nonsensical fearmongering & conspiracy theories to bully anyone that operates aircraft like this out of the hobby. I despise this level of stigma. It's one of the reasons why remotely piloted helicopters have not had any serious innovation since 2014, & even then, there were a lot of naysayers when helicopters first ditched the flybar around 2008~2010; & even back when helicopters first went electric (phasing out internal combustion engines), that had its naysayers too. As for me, this is aimed at beginners & more power to them, as this will attract new pilots to the hobby & open up the door to a new generation of pilots. My only gripe with this helicopter is that it did not exist back in 2007, when I was first getting into flying remotely piloted helicopters. I could have done welll with something like this, back then. It would have helped bridge the gap between those toy "elevator" helicopters & flying The Real McCoy.
you will need to use your own receiver. Like i do, previously i used R2008SB SFHSS and i am still using same in Huey UH1, Bell 206. you can program it easily with 16iz
You know, I think our V2's SHOULD be able to do that. As far as I know, it's the same helicopter essentially. I wonder if there will be a firmware update for people like you and I who have the V2 version. I sort of feel ripped off, as I bought my V2 a year ago, this coming March. It's still sitting new in the box. Maybe I'll just sell it and apply the money to a V3, if there's no update. Supposedly, if you have the V2.5 you CAN fly it like this.
Wow Is all I can say. Need a question answered please Ali. I'm debating this one or the Huey from Fly Wing. Tough choice because I like the real look of the Huey. Here's the thing I want to ask: Can the Huey do inverted also ??? Same company, I presume same ESC,motor, GPS, etc. And yes I realise real Huey's don't do !!!!😊
Ali, appreciate the V4 info, just like DJI products or hell yeah iPhones, always new versions, impossible to keep up right ??? Any hints on V4 what might change ??? Hoping at least rocket pods and a Stallone door gunner !!!
Is it true that in GPS mode it can just fly away? That is what I have heard besides, like a comment below GPS may make one complacent. I prefer the challenge of manual like my Goosky S2. Even in standard flying mode its not easy to fly, you have to pay attention. I have come seriously close to my head (had to duck).
Wow, that is really cool. Good point. Good fand you always like good. I want to tell you My bacon computer is messed up and I normally do not use my phone. I do watch your videos and I would like to give you thumbs up just to let you know. Okay I miss you my good friend..😊
This heli is good for beginner 3d pilot just to get the feel of inverted flying. Of course, this will not replace 3d sim to do the transition your self.
The point of doing a piro flip is a demonstration of dedication of determination and practice. By just holding down one stick and flipping a switch, it literally is meaningless as regular spectators have no idea what the point is and usually to them it just looks out of control. I appreciate the tech, but people are missing the point of 3D. Its not just about the moves, but about challenging yourself and the sense of accomplishment, its intangible and cant be bought.
I know, i have been practicing piro flips and just now i am able to do them in sim and outdoors on my helis like GooSky S2 and RS4. still I crash a lot LOL. but am able to finally pull piro flips and with practice they will become more stable and controlled.
hello, do you know how much flight time it has? in flight from Novato and which Battery did you use? Greetings from Mexico City and Thank you very much for always having the first Hoobie News. I congratulate you once again.
What reciever would I need if I was to get the PNP version of this heli and fly it with my Tx16s? can i just put a spektrum satellite or something on it?
Hi. Great video I’ve seen a few and my brother who is in to planes. I can’t stand for long and can’t sit at all because of my spine. What’s the cost of that helicopter I’m in the uk.
I have an H1 controller on a Trex 500 and am thinking about putting one on a 450 helicopter. The FW APP doesn't seem to have an option to save a model set up so just wondering if you've had issues with that.
@alishanmao Thanks for the reply. Just worried about connecting the lead to make an adjustment to one on the APP and then the other, can that software identify a different model you are adjusting .The software doesn't have a means if saving the adjustments you've made to different models that can be selected in the APP. When you plug that lead in can it identify the model you want to adjust. Regards .
I bought a fw200 v2 recently thanks to your video and works wonderfully.... Just wish the Android app was a little more developed..... thanks for your views and details videos on everything that pretty much needs to be known about the product..... I would like to know where you found larger 1100 1500 size batteries with xt30... If possible thank you for your videos and reviews

Wow Is all I can say.
Need a question answered please Ali.
I'm debating this one or the Huey from Fly Wing. Tough choice because I like the real look of the Huey.
Here's the thing I want to ask:
Can the Huey do inverted also ??? Same company, I presume same ESC,motor, GPS, etc. And yes I realise real Huey's don't do !!!!😊
wait a month. Huey UH1 V4 is coming. its sweet. better than anything
Ali, appreciate the V4 info, just like DJI products or hell yeah iPhones, always new versions, impossible to keep up right ??? Any hints on V4 what might change ??? Hoping at least rocket pods and a Stallone door gunner !!!
If its programmable with my Futaba 16IZ, will pull the trigger on this Heli
of course you can. I am saving to get that radio too :) so far very happy to use my 14SG. but 16IZ seems to be better as its a newer radio.
Did you used some PID control brother? Did you built it?
yes i tweaked the settings using 1.9v software. you can do that too.
Love your videos Ali. I'd buy this helicopter seem very stable.
its gonna be one of the best helicopters in GPS categories
Another great toys Bro... Nice..
thank you brother
Ваалайкум Ассалам брат, из Чечни 👍
Thank you so much
Good RC Sir… ..👍👍👍
Many many thanks
Is it true that in GPS mode it can just fly away? That is what I have heard besides, like a comment below GPS may make one complacent. I prefer the challenge of manual like my Goosky S2. Even in standard flying mode its not easy to fly, you have to pay attention. I have come seriously close to my head (had to duck).
if ever have any such incident where you feel you have no control, flip flight mode to 3d and back to gps immediately and you will get control back
Ali, What is this flight mode you tested under the parameters? Standard or SPORTS?
sports :) i will share my settings later
nice design
Thank you! Cheers!
Will the GPS work in the UK?, another great video Ali well done.
Yes it will
Wow, that is really cool. Good point. Good fand you always like good. I want to tell you My bacon computer is messed up and I normally do not use my phone. I do watch your videos and I would like to give you thumbs up just to let you know. Okay I miss you my good friend..😊
Thanks brother
This heli is good for beginner 3d pilot just to get the feel of inverted flying. Of course, this will not replace 3d sim to do the transition your self.
agreed :)
Where'd you bought it? Taobao have just V2,5..

AMAZINGGGGGGG! What the
it sure is
Excelente man wow
Thanks
AWESOME 🤩🎉😊
Thanks
Yes, exactly what I want for a helicopter!
How difficult is it to make it do FPV?
just install your favorite FPV System, power it using a stand alone small battery or use Flight battery
That's impressive 👌
thanks
@@alishanmao my pleasure, greetings from indonesia 😊🇮🇩
@@MasboyRC Greetings. Wish Someday I can visit indonesia
The point of doing a piro flip is a demonstration of dedication of determination and practice. By just holding down one stick and flipping a switch, it literally is meaningless as regular spectators have no idea what the point is and usually to them it just looks out of control. I appreciate the tech, but people are missing the point of 3D. Its not just about the moves, but about challenging yourself and the sense of accomplishment, its intangible and cant be bought.
I know, i have been practicing piro flips and just now i am able to do them in sim and outdoors on my helis like GooSky S2 and RS4. still I crash a lot LOL. but am able to finally pull piro flips and with practice they will become more stable and controlled.
as always ....awesome vids........gonna get it???........fingers are twitching right now....its been a while since I flown my old F450
thank you :) link is waiting in description
One question so in 3D is up stick inverted down and dw stick up?
if you set beginner mode, its up is up, down is down in inverted. but if you set professional it will reverse
hello, do you know how much flight time it has? in flight from Novato and which Battery did you use? Greetings from Mexico City and Thank you very much for always having the first Hoobie News. I congratulate you once again.
I still have to test flight times properly. so please wait for more videos. thank you
With gps assist are the left stick movement same with ordinary helis? Like when inverted and you want to go up you pull down on the left stick?
There are two modes for inverted flight, easy and professional. In easy mode everything stays the same
@@alishanmao In easy mode you pull up on left stick to go up while inverted?
@@ginopunsalan yes just like you do in normal mode all controls stay same in easy mode
@@alishanmao That’s incredible. With my 450 I only went as far as an ugly piroflip.
Great video sir..nice heli
So nice
What reciever would I need if I was to get the PNP version of this heli and fly it with my Tx16s? can i just put a spektrum satellite or something on it?
FlySky, Futaba SFHSS, or FrSky Protocol receivers are fine
@@alishanmao would something like this work? Flysky FS-A8S 8CH Mini Receiver 2.4G PPM IBUS SBUS
@@dzydvl33 i use FS-iA6B and it works great
Hi. Great video I’ve seen a few and my brother who is in to planes. I can’t stand for long and can’t sit at all because of my spine. What’s the cost of that helicopter I’m in the uk.
Check desription buddy :) it has all the info
I have an H1 controller on a Trex 500 and am thinking about putting one on a 450 helicopter.
The FW APP doesn't seem to have an option to save a model set up so just wondering if you've had issues with that.
you can't save a model on the app. but on your radio right.
@alishanmao Thanks for the reply.
Just worried about connecting the lead to make an adjustment to one on the APP and then the other, can that software identify a different model you are adjusting .The software doesn't have a means if saving the adjustments you've made to different models that can be selected in the APP.
When you plug that lead in can it identify
the model you want to adjust.
Regards .
Can you use the 4S 5000 batteries that came with the 450L V2.5? By the way great video.
I am using 5000MAh with the airwolf shell on it. without airwolf shell you will have to find a way to fit that big battery under the frame
We're can I get one can u send me the link to buy one please thanks
link is in video description
Do you think this will be available as a BNF? I hate to pay for another transmitter when I have a new TX16S MK2!
I hope so.
Can you comment on how long it takes for a GPS lock?
Mine locks in matter of seconds
suppose i have h1. Is it able to do these maneuvers?
yes
This new model or is it upgrade from old model ?
new model
@@alishanmao wow! thank you!
Rescue modes of Vbar, Spirit and Brain and better at flipping. The fw450 looks super sketch and loses a lot of altitude before flipping over.
it will improve over time.
What mode can i use to be able to fly with GPS on
GPS mode
Ali do you need a computer to calibrate and fly ????
yes sadly still. I am going to talk to flywing to release app for this as well
just wonder where is the gps(black box)is located?
under the rear of canopy
is the V2.5 the same as V3?
No
Ok so can you make a video how to load the software of the H1 of the version 3 to the version 2 👍
Let me get a 2.5L and i maybe able to do it :)
can only find v2.5, is this v.3 pre production version?
