The Yu Xiang F11 is a 1:32-scale, ready-to-fly AH-64 Apache RC helicopter built for open-area outdoor flying. It combines GPS-assisted positioning, downward optical flow, LiDAR TOF altitude sensing, brushless power, and a detailed full-fuselage presentation in one complete package.
This model is designed for pilots who want scale presence without giving up modern flight assistance. GPS return functions and stabilized flight modes can reduce workload, while the included transmitter, 11.1V smart battery, charger, and transport case make the package practical to prepare and carry.
The product is available in two liveries: F11S Dark Gray and F11H Desert Yellow. Both are variants of the same HeliDirect product and share the verified core size, power, positioning, and RTF specifications listed below.
The two variants share the same Yu Xiang F11 GPS platform. The main buying decision is appearance: choose the dark operational-style finish of the F11S or the high-visibility desert finish of the F11H.

Advantages
Practical considerations
What is the difference between the F11S and F11H variants?
The F11S uses a dark-gray Apache-style finish, while the F11H uses a desert-yellow finish. Both variants share the verified 1:32 scale, 455mm rotor diameter, GPS/optical-flow/LiDAR assistance, brushless power system, 11.1V 1800mAh battery specification, and RTF package positioning.
Is the Yu Xiang F11 suitable for beginners?
GPS positioning, optical flow, LiDAR TOF sensing, barometric altitude hold, return functions, and one-key landing can reduce pilot workload. It remains a large, powerful RC helicopter with exposed rotors, so a new pilot should study the manual, calibrate carefully, and begin in a wide, unobstructed outdoor area.
What comes in the RTF box?
The HeliDirect listing includes the selected F11 helicopter, transmitter, one 11.1V 1800mAh 30C intelligent battery, dedicated charging equipment, four main blades, one tail blade, manual, tool, and transport case.
How long does the Yu Xiang F11 fly?
The product sources list approximately 10-12 minutes of flight time. Actual runtime varies with wind, temperature, battery condition, flying style, and how frequently assisted functions are used.
Is the F11 intended for indoor or outdoor use?
Its 455mm rotor diameter, 485mm fuselage, GPS-based assistance, and scale airframe make it best suited to an open outdoor flying area. Do not fly it in a typical room, close to people, around vehicles, or near trees, buildings, and power lines.
What battery does the helicopter use?
The listed flight battery is an 11.1V 1800mAh 30C intelligent LiPo, and one is included in the HeliDirect package description. Only use a replacement pack explicitly confirmed for the F11 GPS Apache because physical fit, connector design, and smart-battery electronics matter.
Does the Yu Xiang F11 include return-to-home functions?
The product description lists one-key return, low-battery return, and fail-safe return. Treat these as pilot-assistance functions; their performance depends on correct calibration, adequate GPS reception, safe altitude, battery condition, and an obstacle-free return path.
What is the listed control range?
HeliDirect lists a control distance of 350 meters, while the manufacturer pages state more than 300 meters. Local radio conditions, antenna orientation, obstacles, battery condition, and regulations can affect practical range, so always maintain visual line of sight and a safe operating margin.
What is the current Yu Xiang F11 price?
The HeliDirect product page displayed $668.00 at the time of this content review. Check the live product page for the current price, promotion, and availability of the selected F11S or F11H color.

Very cool and fun to fly!!!
Mucho mejor de lo que esperaba me agradó mucho, lo recomiendo 100%
Excellent choice
I’ve been very pleased very friendly to novice rv users
Great product. Flies really well.
Very nice helicopter. Little large for indoor flying but i have taken it for a spin around the garage.
Technically speaking it’s incredible. This helicopter is the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Makes me feel like a kid again. I definitely plan on purchasing more advanced helicopters once I feel comfortable flying this one without the increased safety features turned on. Thanks to David at helidirect!!!!!
I have to say that I am really enjoying this helicopter. I own the Coast Guard version as well and these are nothing short of great flying machines. They come in a nice case, comes with a nice TX, and flies so well. The detail is really nice and the stability is awesome. Nothing to complain about. Super fast shipping and top notch service from Heli Direct!
Pleased my husband and sons tremendously.
I saw this advertised as a Black Friday sale and ordered it as it seemed like a cool helicopter. Now I’ve had really good service from Helidirect for the past few years that I’ve been ordering products. I received confirmation of the order on Sunday the 24th. Typically they get the order sent out the next day but I hadn’t heard anything by Tuesday the 26th so I decided to call and was told it was going out that day, and it did. I received it on Friday the 29th after Thanksgiving holiday. I opened it up and it was cool. I haven’t flown it yet because as I was looking over, I noticed that one of the wing mount was broken. This was a tad bit disappointing, but given the nature of the structural area, I can see why it broke so I ordered an extra one for replacement. Unfortunately, that has turned into a little bit of a fiasco, but that’ll be on a different review. I am pleased with the quality and once I get the additional parts and replace the broken wing mount, I will fly it. I’m sure it’ll fly great
