FlyWing BELL-206 V3 Scale Helicopter - RTF
Customer Reviews
Order process smooth and the helicopter arrived in perfect condition. Flights are awesome and all the neighbors love when it’s fly time
I can’t express enough how incredible this heli looks and it is so easy to fly. The GPS keeps it stable, even in wind. The flight time is 20+ minutes and take off and landing is smooth and easy. The purchase online from HeliDirect was simple and shipment was quick. Friends and co-workers who saw videos on my phone of it in the air flying over a field thought it was a real helicopter. Cost is a bit pricey, but less from HeliDirect then most online retailers. I’m happy with the heli and would recommend it.
Great scale look, well-constructed, and flies great right out of the box.
Flys great right out of the box, easy to control for a novice or anyone with drone experience.
I really wanted to give this helicopter a great review. As far as flying performance goes, this helicopter is great. Super stable during flight, and the scale Bell 206 shell looks great in the air. My issues with this helicopter is the lack quality control. Upon first inspection, one of the screws connecting the swash plate to one of the blade arms was completely stripped, and would have been absolutely catastrophic during my maiden flight had I not caught it. The milling on the motor gear is poor and does not sound good at all when powering up. The mounting points for the blades were manufactured poorly and have cracks around them. I found myself purchasing a lot of spare parts to make up for the lack of quality control on this heli, which is crazy considering the price of it. Doing some further digging online revealed that multiple people have had issues with this model, so this isn't a one off scenario. My advice to you if you are considering this for a 1st or second helicopter: please look up as much info as you can on heli maintenance so you know what to look for. This is not going to be like an OMP or Goosky, you can't take it out of the box and head to the field like they advertise. It will most likely have quality control issues that you will either find out before your flight, or when it is on the ground in pieces. Be smart and check things over, or have someone with experience in this hobby look it over for you. Swung by to leave this review as I add a new spare part to my cart....
This is a beautiful helicopter externally! The paint job is very nice. All electronics work as expected, except the provided Fly Wing charger. The charger did not work at all. It did not charge the provided battery at all. The helicopter flies smoothly and beautifully. This is a $700 helicopter. Fly Wing, please inspect all components thoroughly in the future so that customers can have some fun when it comes to RTF. Another negative area of this helicopter is the placement of the velcro on the frame to hold the battery. It was not straight at all and this showed me that whoever assembled this helicopter did not pay attention to his or her work. This reduces the value and beauty of the product. I hope that Fly Wing will fix the mentioned issues in the future. Overall, I really like this helicopter.
This is a great helicopter, easy to fly. Awesome to look at, and great detail!!

Well it's a beautiful scale, flight nice, good sound, the only two issues is the tight fit of pinion gear with the main gear. And i need to remove the rear window for proper cooling of Esc and motor. The same issue with the Uh-1.. balance the blades and check all the screws, the tail motor don't have loctite.
This was no doubt the most beautiful helicopter I now own So excited when I received it and immediately flew it. I put strobe lights on the front and back which makes it look real. Love flying it as well as putting it on display and just admiring it.
