A warning here, but first let me say I HAVE NOT heard of it being a problem - it's just something I spotted and decided to apply a preventative fix. When flying inverted, the battery could possibly come into contact with the spinning motor pinion gear. I put a velcro strap across the frame sides and below the motor pinion to prevent this. I repeat, I have not heard of this being a problem but you may want to check your battery's security when inverted. It didn't stop me buying another anyhow. 🙃
Another great video Andrej, helping me learn my new toy. Not really a beginner, have spent many many hours flying fixed pitch helis mainly those wonderful FX ones that came and went in a hurry, in fact I am still flying them. Have done a bit of 3D with my WL 950s but the 450L that's a whole new ball game. Cheers.
I have just ordered a second one of these. I crashed the first one (my fault entirely) so decided to buy a second without transmitter and batteries - as a back-up when waiting for parts from China! I also have the quick release blade holders, which means no unbolting of the blades when packing into the case. They work fine and a definite boon for transportation. There are more "hidden" fly modes, that another TH-cam reviewer has full details of but I haven't tried them yet. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the four blade conversion - if you decide to get one. Great review and I like that you fly mainly in 3D mode as I'm building up to doing that with my fleet.
Hi, thank you. As I didn't want this review video to be too long I have not covered everything that this heli can deliver. I will show more in my upcoming videos. I am aware of that ''hidden'' mode but I have not tried that yet on any of my FW helicopters as I enjoy full manual mode the most.
@@xdravex11 My fault because I tried switching to 3D mode when too close to the ground and it dropped a few metres (this IS NORMAL) and a wall jumped up at it. It's now repaired. If you are a male person, go against your instincts and read the instruction manual! FlyWing - and others - have videos on how to fly these. If you can fly a drone, then this will be similar.
Great looking heli Andrej! Is this easier to fly than the Yuxiang Apache F11S GPS helicopter? I just started flying helis and bought my Yuxiang Apache F11S and love the GPS helicopters as it's more stable. I'm now thinking of getting a 2nd heli too! Is this Flying easy to handle ? Thanks!!!!😊
@@AndrejSturm Thanks Andrej! Is the flight time 25 minutes easily achievable? What I like is that it seems to fly much longer than the Apache F11S. During low battery does it auto return to home?
@@AndrejSturmThanks buddy! So this Flywing has GPS mode & 3D mode but the Yuxiang Apache F11S can only fly in GPS mode or manual mode but is unable to do 3D flights is this correct? Thanks!
Hi friend, I also bought it but it was held up in customs in my country. They tell me that I have to approve it. UPS tells me that I have to register it and my seller doesn't provide me with anything. I would like to return it. I bought it on eBay.

Great to hear Stew! This is a great helicopter, easy to maintain (low parts count) and has a long flight time.

Hi buddy what's the reason u crashed yours? I've been wanting to get one too but just afraid it's too difficult to handle for a beginner😊

Ha! Here we go again! I've got one too. White as well :)
Great, so you also have two FW450 helicopters, the V2 and V3 right?
@AndrejSturm V1 and V3! Motion RC had too many white canopy V3s so they were on sale for $100 off. Had to. LOL!
Nice rc helicopter!
Nice, with what camera are you recording on your head? regards
Osmo Action 4 (a very good action camera, much better and more reliable than my GoPro cameras).
Nice flight, Andrej . They are now selling a 4 bladed rotor head conversion for this Heli.
Hi, thank you. Yes, I have seen that option ...
What's the difference between the 2 blade VS 4 blade? Which is a better option? Thanks!🙏😊
Great looking heli Andrej!
Is this easier to fly than the Yuxiang Apache F11S GPS helicopter?
I just started flying helis and bought my Yuxiang Apache F11S and love the GPS helicopters as it's more stable.
I'm now thinking of getting a 2nd heli too!
Is this Flying easy to handle ? Thanks!!!!😊
Hi, thank you. It's similar, maybe a little easier to fly because it's larger and thus more resistant to wind and easier to see ...
@@AndrejSturm Thanks Andrej! Is the flight time 25 minutes easily achievable? What I like is that it seems to fly much longer than the Apache F11S. During low battery does it auto return to home?

I don't own a GPS version of the Apache helicopter ... so I am not sure but I think that you are correct - it can't do 3D flights.

You probably have to provide the info (invoice) to the UPS for import duties ...
