Well, it worked this time! I must admit I admire the technology rather more than helicopter flying per se but it must be a great way to start flying bigger helis than V911 1S ones I've flown indoors in the winter. Electronics has changed a lot since I was building one valve receivers when I was still at school in the early 50s :) Another great and highly entertaining video - thanks.
I just installed one in my TREX 500 and hope it stays in place this well. Went out and purchased a long wire GPS module because it was too close to the tail servo. Crossing my fingers!!!
Thanks for the video. This technology is amazing, given the skill that would be required to fly inverted on a conventional RC Heli. It was amusing to hear Jason's' surprise 1:45 when told how the sticks would operate when the heli is inverted. As an amateur, I would be pleased that pushing down on the stick would make the heli go down and not up 😀 It just goes to show how Jays' brain is used to the opposite in this scenario.
I have the smaller version of this, the FW200. Obtaining GPS takes a long time, which is a little frustrating. Hopefully this latest model gains it quicker. The drop-down canopy will also save time when changing batteries.
Takes 10-20 seconds for us. A lot quicker than other fixed wing models we have GPS installed in. Not an inconvenience. Yes on the canopy. It's quite clever. The battery is held on a tray, with 2 velcro straps, that slides out that clips into place with a latch.
Bad ESC Canopy needs Cooling FAN ESC runs very hot first less than 8 mins started in flight smoking lucky I did not crash new FW450 3 dose not air cool like the older canopy's are better more air coming in had to replace ESC on first flight good luck in finding the part cant find any where The ESC is V3 is different Than the V2 ESC worth less Heli at over 600.00

I’d definitely buy one!
Very smart. GPS is amazing tech BTW Thanks!
It really is!

Yeah...glad I told him that before he switched to Inverted but we did it above 10 metres so nothing bad was going to happen.
It took a little bit of brain power to do it “the wrong way” but for people that have never flown a heli it will definitely make life easier 👌🏻

@@EssentialRC That's a lot quicker than my FW200 to gain GPS. Good to hear they have improved that.
Does the smaller version also have the invert switch?
@@jasonlara Yes, it does.
what is the flight time, and is there any news about extended battery?@@EssentialRC
The newer ones have a hole in the top of the canopy so you can see the LED better. Just FYI
end of the hobby
Is there an ETA on when they might get to the United States because I would definitely buy one
Any idea Where you can get spares for this V3?.
RCgoing.com
where did you buy that helicopter
We were sent a prototype to test and promote
How do you calibrate the heli
Connect to the heli using USB and use the software you download from FlyWing
Thank you sir
