Another great video for the books Steve and another beautiful helicopter for my hanger! AWESOME Yuxiang!

I will very likely get one of these. I was stationed at HSC-21 from 2007-2010. Takes me right back!

Man, that's a really nice heli Steve! They sure have come a long way since I first came back into the hobby around 2010 and was buying small indoor helis and teaching myself to fly 4 channel. Back then, it was buy a zillion spares and the helis were so fragile it was like flying eggshells, then the wltoys v911 came out and everything changed because it was cheap and nearly indestructible, I bought 5 or 6 of them and lots of batteries and just flew one after another, rotating them. That thing literally taught me how to fly. These birds today are amazing with gyros and no fly bars, they look better, fly better and I rally enjoy them but a small part of me misses the simplicity of the v911 and actually being forced to develop skills to actually fly it., I don't miss all the crashes and frustration lol but it did teach me to fly. Todays newbies have it easier in that respect bit I think overall, it's a good thing because people actually stay in the Hobby and don't leave due to frustration like I almost did back then. Glad I stuck with it. And I was heli and drone crazy for a very long time both indoors and out. I always wanted to get into fixed wing but didn't have a teacher or a place really to fly one. Nowadays I'm far more into ground vehicles, bashers and crawlers but I still like to take out a heli now and again and enjoy how smooth they are these days! I know we are the same age and how was your path into or back into the hobby? My first mini hel was a 9 eagles solo pro which was a delicate and fragile little heli which was a terrible choice for a total beginner like I was then lol that thing would barely tap into something and. break into a million pieces 😂. It was the wltoys v911 that was game changing for me and the hobby. It was so nearly indestructible it allowed my errors to crash over and over until I could do it correctly. Even today it's an inexpensive way to learn 4 channel and learn real no gyro skills. Great video my friend! 💯 🤜 🤛

Yuxiang has been absolutely killing it lately, their products and customer service has been great too. Still loving their choice in radios as well 🔥 thanks for the vid Steve

Looks real in the air. I hope they have Super Cobra or Viper version. It would be awesome.

The pole sticking out on the front of the helicopter is called a fueling probe Steve. It's what they use to get fuel up in the air so they don't need to come down to get fuel. If that's what you were referring to. That helicopter looks great. Just like the other two that are similar. Another awesome video Steve, thanks for sharing my friend.

Looks amazing, however, many guys that have not bought the other F09 helicopters but would have the E135 F06 would love to see them together side by side for size difference as your paying out a lot more money. Great video Brother. Blessings from Ireland 🇮🇪 Eamon

Looks Awesome

Always a good day when Steve has a video.

I like the set up

Dude that thing is sick AF.

What a beautiful helicopter! If I had a spare $600 I would definitely buy it right now. But, I don't lol. Very detailed and accurate reproduction. It would be nice if it was a true FPV copter and I hope to see a very good fpv helicopter in the near future! Great video. Makes me want one!

Awsome vid thanks STEVE!

That's a beauty

awsome video Captain

Well done Captain!; what an amazing (and detailed) Heli; damn shame its so expensive (over $800 AUD) however the best part of this review was the " Cathedral of Clouds" !!!; the skies were simply beautiful !!!!

Molto molto VERO!, bellissimo!

I see mondays Total Eclipse is over the Niagra falls, should be spectacular. Somebody's got to get a drone shot.

one day i will fly my hawk i've had it for a year that look's great especially against the cloud's great heli great review Steve. off to bed now, night night, {well wifey keep's your 74 now bed early}

Great review Steve but please do not rely on the green lights on the battery as they are not an accurate measurement of the remaining battery power and no catching helis with your hand :) I’m glad they supply the battery holder to use your own charger as the supplied barrel plug charger is rubbish and does not balance the lipos at all My black hawk I bought the battery holder separate to use my Hyperion duo charger Looks like I’ll be buying another heli :)

@CAPTAINDRONE798

So far I have received 3 of these units. One unit had the tail stabilizer broken off. This is due to either the kids at the factory pushing the heli into the foam or the stupid customs agent doing the same. I glued it back into place with CA glue. Another unit had the wheel broken off (screw that holds it in place was snapped off). Again this is due to someone pushing it roughly into the foam. That one I fixed by gluing the plastic wheel to the plastic shock extension coming off the frame and then strapping the entire plastic shock extension to the moveable metal shock and adding a dab of CA glue. It holds and works because the wheels don’t have to turn.
