Helicopter had a death wobble on first flight attempt. I was able to shut it down quickly and thought the blades were out of balance. Ordered new blades and then found body mounts were broken at the top which caused the wobble. I had to take apart the entire helicopter to repair and re-enforce the body mounts and when disconnecting the tail rotor motor the wires pulled apart. So new tail rotor motor later it is finally repaired and testing on ground was okay. Has yet to fly due to weather.
My first helicopter and I have been totally impressed with it. I have now been certified by my AMA club and am enjoying flying my UH-1 which happens to be the last helicopter I jumped out of back in the 70s when I was in the Army.
I bought this to be my first helicopter ( flown fixed wing rc for years) and I’m happy that I did. It came in a very protected box and it is as scale as they show it. From rivet lines to danger markings, it is stunning to see. Set up took minutes and a good check of the enclosed manual and I was ready for flight. Takeoff was easy and the GPS system really will not let you get into trouble! It made me looked skilled from the first take off! Run time gives you 30+ minutes and there is a low battery/ auto return to home. It will not allow you to crash! Very impressive in flight and easy to maintain, a great rc helicopter for all! So much more I haven’t listed- get one and see how amazing they are! Thank you FLY WING- a truly awesome rc product! A+
It didn't work out of the box. I couldn't get it to bind. I wrote to customer service. I had checked everything I could come up with and was up front about that. But the customer service person insisted I check all of that again but this time send them pictures of it not working. I eventually found a short in the adapter from the receiver to the flightboard. I re-soldered that wire and fixed it. I asked the customer service person about replacing it. He wanted a picture and then disappeared. It flies great now. Usually Helidirect's customer service is amazing. But if I hadn't been in the RC helicopter hobby as long as I have I wouldn't have figured it out and I would probably still be taking pictures of things that don't work.
FlyWing UH-1 Huey 2-Blades GPS Scale RC Helicopter W/ ACE Flight Controller (RTF) - Green
This is my first heli, although I have been flying RC planes for a few years. I bought this one because of 1) its GPS capabilities which makes it very beginning-user friendly, and 2) it's gorgeous replication of the historic Huey. All the components are beautifully made. The electronics are the latest and best. I deducted one star because of the manual. Although the version 4 I bought has been out for over a year, it seems like the only thing in the manual that was updated from the early versions was the cover page. Because of my lack of experience, I wasted a few hours trying to do set up tasks that made no sense. I finally smartened up and downloaded the version 4 manual from the FlyWing website. But even that has its failings. There are a couple of electronics connections that need to be made and that is not mentioned in the manual. I had to write to a YouTube reviewer to get that. And there's no mention of the bag of 3D printed extra parts or where to put them. Small complaints about an otherwise impressive machine.
Rotor blades are very tight and cause the helicopter some damages.
Parts to fix the helicopter are out of stock. Waste of money.
Flies as it should even in the wind.
Directions for transmitter do not agree with transmitter switches.
Blade mounting surfaces required much work by me to fit blades into the holders.
Blades were too thick.
Another wonderful Helicopter, showed up fast, and looks beautiful!! thanks Helidiect!!
Sent a video to fly wing tech support. Tech support stated the device defected. Support told me to reach out helidirect to see if I can get flight controller replacement
