Today I took my three RC helicopters for a flight with our largest RC helicopter, the Flywing Airwolf. This helicopter is a monster and exudes retro 80s style! To be honest, I have never watched the show Airwolf before. When I got the helicopter from Stirlingkit, I immediately went to binge-watch the episodes, the highlights, and even the documentaries and reviews - Airwolf is really cool! This show made me feel like I was born in the wrong era, it's so awesome and made me fall in love with this helicopter even more.
I haven't flown it yet, today is its first flight! This helicopter is really beautiful, from the carbon fiber wings to the brushless motors, it's full of technology. The helicopter also supports GPS mode, which makes me feel more confident flying, otherwise I never thought I would fly such a big RC helicopter one day.
Okay, next is ready, the battery of this helicopter is very large - it's a big 4S 5000 battery. The battery compartment is designed to be very convenient and easy to operate. After the battery is installed, I started to turn on the remote control. I really like the Flywing's ready-to-fly remote control, which is very smooth to operate.
Next we start the helicopter, make sure the battery is installed and everything is stable, then put on the headphones and get ready to take off! The startup sound is really amazing, it sounds like a real helicopter. After starting it up, I was a little nervous, but I knew it had GPS mode, which gave me more confidence to fly.
After everything was ready, the GPS signal was stable and the light changed from yellow to green, indicating that the signal was connected. Then, I carefully lifted it off the ground. The helicopter in GPS mode felt very responsive and easy to control. It was also very fast, which really amazed me.
The helicopter has a large battery installed, and Flywing claims that it can fly for 15 minutes, which is really exaggerated! It feels great to fly, and the sound and appearance are impressive. I can't help but want to fly it further.
It flies very smoothly, and I found it easier to control than any helicopter I have flown before. Although it was a bit uncomfortable at first, I gradually became more comfortable with it. During the flight, I also tried an automatic mode - in GPS mode, press the switch and it will start to fly in circles automatically, which is very suitable for taking photos and videos. Although it is a bit of a show-off function, it is really fun.
Speaking of advantages, I have to say that Flywing's helicopter is really impeccable. Apart from the slightly higher price, I really can't find too many shortcomings. The only regret is that this helicopter does not have a retractable landing gear. If it can be equipped with this function, it will be perfect. However, this is not a fatal flaw for me. It flies so well that I am very satisfied.
Today's flight was very smooth, and I also experienced the return function of GPS. Although I was a little nervous, its return function was very good. The aircraft calculated the path by itself and flew back slowly. It was really full of technology.
Flywing Airwolf is really a very cool helicopter, especially its flying texture and appearance, which are really excellent.
