This is awesome! I love the Huey too but right now I have my hands full with my own C189 fly away issue. I've been trying to get warranty from Aliexpress seller Ace RC Store and they have just argued its all user error. I have resorted to finding information from RCGroups forums to learn others had fly away issues and how to repair replace items to get the C189 MD500 back flying. When I saw this video I was hoping you might have a similar follow up video with your fly away issue with the C189?

I just would not think to check cross wiring on any helicopter, not to mention one that cost $700.00! But now I know better, and have learned something here after watching your video's, don't take for granted that the wiring is hooked up correctly to the motors coming from the factory with the QC stamp on it, check that wiring out first before you start up that helicopter, or otherwise it may cost you in damages to the helicopter, or serious injury to yourself, period.

Free bit of good engineering and marketing advice from myself to the manufacturer. I’ve been flying RC Heli’s for 30 years. This machine is a good effort for $700 despite what some on here say. The best way to improve its appeal even more and therefore sell more is to move to an anti torque system that uses traditional variable pitch tail blades instead of fixed pitch+variable speed. The rear motor can still be used for this, it doesn’t have to be driven by shaft or belt. The controller will need to be modified slightly and a servo used to drive the pitch slider. This will stop the “bee in a jam jar” buzzing sound from the tail rotor and vastly improve the scale appeal. I would also paint it in NATO olive or a slightly darker green. This would be the icing on the cake for what is a lovely little Huey. Well done.

@@Southwickspecialsthat doesn't change the fact that a beginner might think they f*cked up and it was their fault. See, you are using a "straw man" argument, by changing the subject to the money loss, when the subject mentioned is the fact that the heli flies wack out of the box. Please stop confusing the issue. Who cares about how much money it is? The issue is that a newbie buying the heli would get turned off due to the heli breaking before they even fly it. You sound like a politician with your argument that isn't based at all on the topic being discussed. The cost is a tertiary issue, we (the adults in the comments) are discussing how s*itty of an experience this would be to a new hobbyist.

Im a hela heli guy, I have 5 $2k to $3k 700 sized heli's and multiple others. RTF means RTF you should be able to toss a battery in it and go. That being said with heli's it is easy to avoid fatal mistakes. When its spooling on the ground only spool it to like 1/4 throttle and check rudder movement "on the ground" rotate the heli and make sure its working in the right direction. People that complained at you are just just mindless internet keyboard warriors i call them, tons of them on forums too, your a newbie to advanced heli's, this one isnt even advanced and it bit ya in the butt. It happens and is literally the only way to learn. I have many odd comments on my youtube. I read through yours. You are a nice guy. Im not!! lolol. If someone tosses shade I rip em up till they stop typing back haha. So glad you were able to keep a level head on those comments. Moving on to price I'd like to see this heli more in the $500 range. $700 is pushing the price of a fully outfitted 550 570 600 SAB goblin, Oxy 5 Meg, and so on and those are much much higher end more capable heli's. Also assisted flight comes with a lot of high end Flight Controllers, it's just most of us that have been in the game a while dont use it. I use Spirit Flybarless and it can do all that fancy auto-leveling, inverted hovering and so on all by itself. The only difference is they arent RTF you have to know it all and program it all. Flywing is good for exactly what it is. Entry level mid range heli's. They are like buying a blade/horizon heli. Great beginner heli's. If I dont build the thing from scratch I dont check every nut and bolt. People that say they do this dont check every single one I dont care what they say. No one I mean NO ONE takes apart a RTF or RTR 100% and checks 100% of the nuts/bolts. If they did they wouldnt be buying a RTF. Normal heli's like what I have you touch and build every single bolt, thats different you have to lol. If you dont have to, sorry those people are lying they did not 100% disassemble their RTR's, they just checked all the bolts they could see, and sorry man if your gonna state about checking bolts you better check them all if you are so high and mighty to make that comment lol.

Every flight, I check the throw directions of every surface. If it's a helicopter as large as this and it was my first flight I would hold it over my head and throttle it up just a bit to verify everything. I have had a few accidents and learned that the best thing to do is verify all surfaces move in the correct direction and that includes a brief throttle up with the model in hand or on the ground before take off. I have installed the wrong direction prop on some things, I have accidentally reversed servos and brushless wires. You don't have to spend 20 minutes doing this. If you get used to it, you know everything is working within a minute before flight. I helped a beginner land his airplane when he installed the ailerons in reverse, and taught him how to do this before every flight. He will never forget that day. If you have an airplane with dual aileron servos and flip the wires when you install the wings you know exactly how easy this can happen. But any model ready to fly or not, please take 1 minute and verify the controls are doing the correct thing. I have saved many accidents by doing this simple thing. And a brief throttle up with model in hand often helps as well. It's very easy to accidentally reverse a control surface. That said the first model smoked... that is not something checking the surface would have helped with. It's never good when smoke is coming out! Good on you for keeping the video up!

$700 seems a lot for an RTF with a tail-motor. But it does fly well (with the tail spinning in the right direction). When I maiden a new heli I always test over concrete, and get it light on the skids and check the tail/yaw is correct. Only when I am sure the tail is working I lift off into a hover. I think this test would have caught the first one.

Back long ago with nitro helicopters we would make it light on the ground and test all directions that they were correct. You could actually turn it left and right while on the ground to make sure directions were correct. I also used trainer gear on new builds to be safe. I would then lift off a few inches high to test it for any problems. That’s the downside of gps and the auto take offs. If something is wrong it will probably be a bad crash. Glad you got a new one.

Of course I did a preflight, but on a RTF, how thorough did that need to be? One has to assume some level of completion on a RTF. Let’s use the range as an example: If you buy a new “pew” straight from the store, new.. do you trust it enough to take it to the range? Or do you fully disassemble it and reassemble it before taking it to the range? When you bite into a sandwich from McDonalds, do you take the buns off, the patties, cheese, and pickles and thoroughly inspect them? Or do you just take a bite and get it down? You know, I feel this way regarding a kit that you might build, but when something is RTF, at least my opinion, is that we have to trust the company to have assembled it properly. I want to add, I’m fully okay with not completely agreeing, but am grateful for your input and feedback! This is how we all grow!

I bought one of these FlyWing UH-1 helicopters. It kept burning out ESCs no matter what I tried. After the third one, it crashed to the point where I wasn't going to buy any more replacement parts. Good money after bad. Sorry I ever bought it. When it comes to helos, it is probably best to learn the old-fashioned way. This one is too complicated for itself.

Exactly what I commented back then it was definitely the tail rotor spinning the wrong direction either the motor or the tail rotor/prop good to see you giving it another shot I grew up with the show airwolf so I've got my eyes set on Thier Airwolf V2.....also I'm still waiting on that Goosky S1 review hint hint 😂

Being new to the RC scene, I had a (PNP) EDF from Banana Hobby that was madien by a expert pilot and the fan came off the motor shaft damaging the jet and they said it was pilots fault for not checking the prop shaft nut regardless it was a PNP. It was a similar to this however your lucky because you have a great following and the company realizes it. But as a common customer I most of us would be screwed. I learned the hard way. This was four years ago and Banana Hobby was just being taken over by a new owner and it seems they have improved there customer relations but at the time it left a bad taste in mouth and with the amount of planes a person can purchase elsewhere I will do just that.

u shouldn't have to check anything on a rtf. the concept is that you should be able to charge the batteries and then head to the field for the maiden flight.

That’s precisely how I feel as well, though it seems quite a few people say they just about take the whole thing apart and rebuild it before flight. Crazy concept to me for a RTF, but the comments here speak for themselves! 👍💯😎⚓️

100% agree. RTF = has passed a quality inspection + basic components tests + the knowledge that company’s brand is on the line. No company should have the right to tell you to “take it down.” Especially if it’s THEIR quality fault.

$700???? Holy. My brother gave me an on metal model helicopter with a spinning rotar. I wish i had it to this day, that was 9 years ago. I would love to try to make one of those out of a less expensive model. Thats my plan for getting the planes that you have, like the carbon-z cub, ill collect an epo kit over time.

It does look sweet, but what's that stuttering buzzing noise..? Is it the FP tail motor adjusting..? Sounds awful tbh.. Do all larger (300+) tail motor driven Heli's sound like that..? I've seen n heard little sub 250's with tail motors and never noticed that horrible buzz...

Just imagine somebody else buying it and it crashing because it wasn't wired properly from the factory. How would the customer service react. 700 dollars and this happening. If this is the quality control then it's not even worth 70 dollars.

I own several RTF heli's... FlyWing, Blade, mainly. Once unboxed, BEFORE I go out n start flying anything, I go over the ENTIRE vehicle! This hobby is also an investment that I spend my hard earned money on. But nothing man made is flawless. These helicopters are VERY dangerous and a preflight checklist should be completely prior to every flight as well. Your last video could have had a very different outcome, please be safe. I love your videos. 🙏👍

Well done for sticking by your principles and keeping the original video up. It does look like a great RC helicopter, but they should have replaced it for free, without any conditions on the video. I’m in a country where our exchange rate is 20 for $1. So this helicopter would cost me ZAR14,000.00, which is a month’s disability income. I definitely wouldn’t be polite if it happened to me. Thank you for the great channel. Blessings.

Regardless, lesson learned, always remember, if it's man made it's bound to give you issues. So yes I would get in the habit of bench testing connections and servo's and structure before flying, especially a helicopter and if no one realizes how deadly these can be there are actual accident reports of people and main rotor blades colliding and sadly caused a few gruesome fatalities. Never take a manufacture at it's word on quality no matter the name and do your due diligence and totally inspect and do preflight inspections. I would think a company would be glad to know of any issues with there product especially if it's a product that could impede on safety for the consumer.
