RC addict. Love for vintage and very modern cars, trucks, bikes and quite a few aircraft, EDF's and a Helicopter or seven
Nothing beats a good restoration on a vintage model. On the flip side, a solid bash session with the X-Maxx 8s is quite therapeutic lol.

Sorry for the wind noise...forgot my sock. Another couple of flights (same 6s battery pack) after painting the tail blades using Tamiya PS-1. DJI mini 4 pro blades have to be the most difficult to paint!! Went well no paint lost. Slight tail rotor vibration after re-shimming the blades in the hub. They're rather tight. After a little flying they found their centre. Re-Shimmed them again with a ...

Second flight. No talking. Blade grips backed off ever so slightly. Took a couple of temp readings (Stayed very cool) and explored a bit more of the flight envelope being a little more aggressive with the sticks. Absolutely rock solid. Really happy with the performance. Though the sticks on the Fly Sky Transmitter is a little vague around the centre with my thumbs. This is the physical detent o...

My most recent addition. A Brand New Old Stock Marui Ninja from 1987. Box is a little tatty, discoloured and torn underneath. This particular kit came from Japan. Unfortunately due to to Japan's strict customs, the damper oil and grease had to be removed as they're prohibited to export. The kit is missing the box wrench also, which I did know about. One thing I love about these cars is the plas...

Can you setup a roll and yaw mix on that RC? Beautiful Airwolf. Thinking of getting one.
@@EBPlusC200 Yes you can, the radio is a full function 10 channel.
Very nice, coordinated turn with one stick is my thing. Thank you.
Has any upgrades been made to the main motor as I watched a very experienced hele flyer pointing out a couple of years ago the motor drive was a belt driven system and was a suspect weakness of this hele as the belt driven system has a belt tensioner which he felt the spring wasn’t strong enough and he suggested a gear driven system rather than belt driven and I was wandering if the manufacturer had took this comment on board and made an upgrade change to the latest version of this hele
@@brianhart7992 you're thinking of the flywing. This one is gear driven. No upgrades yet..don't need any at this stage. For what it is it's perfect out of the box as is.
@@steveblackbird Thanks for the reply Steve. Yes your 100% correct I was referring to the Flywing version and assumed all versions were fitted with belt driven and to be honest when I heard these comments it put me off purchasing the hele. You seem very happy with this version of the Air Wolf and you saying its gear driven its re-kindled my interest in purchasing this version. Thanks a lot
We LOVE the H1 controller... No hate here my bud
Thank You, It's certainly making owning an expensive heli a lot less stressful that's for sure!
What a good looking heli 🚁😎👍🏼
Greta looking heli do you also fly in atti mode that’s an option. I’m thinking flishrc to give a go for Next heli I get.
@@thatsmyrc yes Atti and 6G modes are programmable from the transmitter just like the Flywing helicopters.
Thing this might be my next bird
Wow!! Were can i purchase this product? Is it RTR?
@@LesterStanislas jump on Aliexpress. Search FlishRC. Yes is RTR. Only needs 4 x AA batteries for the transmitter.
Ah man you put the guns and all that .. that's class..... This isn't a fly wing is it? Sorry im a novice , and looking to get a one of these airwolf choppers
@@amarpatel3154 Flywing Airwolf is a 450 size. This one is 500. Near double the size. Also has retractable landing gear where the Flywing doesnt. This one is from FlishRC on Aliexpress.
@steveblackbird thanks man . Retractable landing gear 💪💪. Can a complete beginner fly these things without pissing money down the toilet? The fly wing has GPS etc , I'm guessing it would be standard in more premium models like yours + I just saw a nutty vid of an 800 size. Amazing .
@@amarpatel3154 Too easy bud. They fly exactly like the Flywing versions. Just bigger and heavier. This one has the full Heli H1 controller so is more tuneable. The Flywing ones have H1 lite versions. FlishRC build it up and locktite ALL screws and cable management and all setup is done by the time it gets to you. Really well done and I'm a very picky guy with wiring on all my models. Didn't touch a thing once I checked a few screws and talking with Flish via email. If you can fly a DJI drone you can Fly these. The size is intimidating.. 500mm blades spinning at 2000RPM is very dangerous. Also you can change modes via the transmitter to do Atti mode and 6G mode.. basically a step down from full 3D control. Auto level, auto height etc but a more natural control. It's a pretty epic system, but in reality and I highly recommend learning to fly a full 3D heli would do a world of good as if GPS drops out for any reason (Very, Very rare these days) you can control it without crashing. A good sim is worth it's weight in gold. I've been hitting the sim on my PC quite a lot and am comfortably flying 3D. No aerobatics or anything yet lol, only on the sim.
@@steveblackbird Hi Steve, Thank you for your detailed response-it’s much appreciated. I’m going to give it some thought. Perhaps I’ll start with the 450 and work my way up from there. I haven’t flown anything at all yet, and the FlyWing seems like a great starting point to get a feel for things and lay the groundwork. Thanks again for your advice! Have a wonderful festive period and enjoy the year ahead with your hobby . P.s. does the Flish RC have lights? This would be a good mod if not .
No matter the skill level of the pilot, showboating in front of Clowns might cause you to crash.
The Lady 😎
Did the heli come with just the front windshield? Or did it come with side upper and lower windows as well? The Flishrc videos and photos of the heli only show a front windshield
@@steve051968 comes with all of them. Front which is one piece, two upper, two lower and two side windows.
Did the helicopter come with the side door windows lower foot area windows and roof windows? Flishrc videos it looks like those windows are not installed
Yes it does. All of them. They are clear though. I tinted mine with Tamiya smoke spray paint. 7 pieces in total. Front window is one piece with a pre-painted black border. Fits perfectly. The others you need to trim a little and they fit great aswell.
You fly a little closer so we could see the gear go up and down better,if you’re afraid of it don’t make a video
@@MrSdrust I'll do a vid just on the gear. As a 500 sized heli, 500mm machete blades spinning at 2000rpm is a little frightening lol 😆
Wow, it's Air Wolf.
TOP...SHOW👍🇧🇷.
TOP...BELL.222.TA.PA.NASSE.O👍🇧🇷UTRO.IGUAL..SEU.MODELO.
Hello, I am super new to the hobby, really enjoying you site. I have noticed your helicopter when initially taking off slowly and smoothly rises from the take off point. In other videos it seem to spring unnaturally in to the air. Have you made any adjustments or this this attributed to your skill with the remote ? I have not purchased the air wolf but have been saving my money 🙂
There's a trick to it. Lift the collective/throttle stick to 52-55% for a couple of seconds and release it. The heli will lift off gently. If you've never flown a RC heli before I'd highly recommend getting an RC simulator to learn how to fly at least the basics. It's very worth it as you'll progress without crashing a real RC helicopter. If you rely on GPS and it drops off you need to take full control and fly it yourself. As you can imagine 2 x 500mm blades spinning at 2000+rpm is very dangerous. The Flysky transmitter plugs right into the cable. Aliexpress and ebay have a 4 in 1 RC simulator for cheap. Cheers for your comment.
Nice. I would like to see scale counter clockwise rotation and tail rotor on the left side like the full size Airwolf.
Same... pretty tough to find though, except for micro helis.
Fantástico.
Helicóptero ay que nos estrellamos
Geiles Ding !!!
hey Steve I'm Ryan Moore im looking for an rc helicopter that looks just like the real airwolf
Hi Ryan, here's the link. I've painted the main rotor and tail blades plus tinted the windows on mine. There's a quick review on my channel. Highly recommend learning to fly RC helis before you fly these around. These things are very dangerous.. a.aliexpress.com/_mPINSwR
Straight from the TV show that music. And the game on Commodore 64😅
Les roues d´atterrissage qui ce rétracte dans le fuselage c´est une option où d´origine sur le flishRc?
The retracts come standard on the 500 sized FlishRC Airwolf.
Awwwsom 😊, great tv pro too
Very cool! Gorgeous machine, especially when the gear is up!
😳😲 Whoa! Air Wolf, that is one sexy aircraft 🥰🫶👍😎💯
Looks better than the actual Airwolf
I used to watch that come out of the volcano as a kid and thought that thing looked so menacing. Cant wait till your done with blue thunder so they can fly together.😮😮
Would absolutely LOVE A Blue Thunder model.. My Fav Heli from the 80's.
Looks like the real thing. stunning machine.
Awesome!!! ❤❤❤❤
I've got 2 trex 500 helicopters with H1 in them flying good one going in a scale body sounds like you have an electric tail motor that sound spoilt it for me.
Fair enough. The new tail blades that they send with the newer version are much quieter. You don't even notice it when it's more than 20m away. I find the heli very quiet.
I normally don’t upvote rc stuff. This is big time exception. Very good

Could you activate the ATT mode that fly wing has? Did you have to do compass calibration too?
@@THEMIGHTYCB Of course. All the modes are available. 1400 ATT, 1300 6G, as well as the stock RTH, GPS and 3D. Its all programmable through the transmitter menu. Stock FlySky transmitter has a 3 position switch but if you bind it with a modern computer radio you can use it's 5 position switch to have all modes available.
@@THEMIGHTYCB also no i didn't need to calibrate the compass. The latest model firmware you dont need to.
@ Awesome thanks heaps! I will program it for home, gps and ATT I reckon
@@steveblackbird That is so handy
@THEMIGHTYCB that's what I have programmed with mine. Once I'm competent with that, then 6G... and then 3D. Though on a sim I can fly in full 3D mode.. I do occasionally crash from being too cocky lol.
I've had the FW450 V3 airwolf for a while and now ordered the blackhawk 500 scale haha oh my my bank is hatting me lol
Lol cancelled it. Need to save

Back in the day when I actually watched TV. Great show
Era lo más hermoso
This is awesome, can u run through all the mods u did please? Painting blades? Smoked glass etc. Is this good for beginners? I only fly drones but so want an airwolf
@@maximusvr46 Too easy. No mods needed for flying it out of the box. Tail blades were painted using Tamiya PS-1 white polycarbonate paint is much more flexible. Main blades were masked off so the bottom doesn't get painted. I used Tamiya TS-26 pure white with TS-16 yellow for the tips. The tinted windows are TS-71 smoke. Go very easy with the smoke.. multiple very light coats. It's as easy to fly as a DJI drone in GPS mode. Everything you see in the vid is how they arrive. Ready to fly.
@@maximusvr46 One thing I'll add.. each blade is near 500mm long.. spinning at 2000 RPM. These helis are very dangerous in the wrong hands. They're expensive but in my case totally worth the money. Personally.. get an rc simulator for your PC and practice with a 3d helicopter (the transmitter plugs right in so you dont have to get another controller for your PC or laptop...so you have at least a little backround skill.
@steveblackbird great advice thanks, which rc sim do u recommend? Is it just usb into the pc with the RC? And its recognised?
@maximusvr46 I've got a few like Real Flight, and Phoenix. Aliexpress has a setup that includes 4-5 sims in one bundle with cables and USB dongle with CD for installs. Easy setup. Yes it recognises the controller.
Great video 👍is fly wing airwolf better than flush 500?? What is difference ?? Thank you
@@michaellui74 The flywing version is about half the size. FlishRC has weapons and retractable landing gear, where the Flywing doesn't have them.
Beautiful 😍
Hi, I have one myself and want to know where did you buy the white blades? Yours look spectacular with the white blades.
@@riaangeldenhuys6937 Spare set of carbon blades from FlishRC. I painted them with Tamiya TS paint on top. Masked off the lower surface so its still showing carbon underneath. The stock grey blades are my spare set.
Don't forget to balance your blades after painting them too.
I appreciate you coming back to me. Thanx alot will do so.
Hi, i have one myself and like your white blades. Where did you buy the white blades?
@@riaangeldenhuys6937 I painted them using tamiya spray paint.

Great video easy to fly?? Thank you
@@michaellui74 In GPS mode... exactly like a DJI drone. Smooth and quiet.
@@steveblackbird thank you watching you from San Francisco
Beautiful 👍👍
Much nicer than the Flywing version I must admit. Guns look great and retracts..
Completely agree, I almost bought the Flywing version. Solid helis in their own right. After I discovered the FlishRC version being nearly double the size, Being 500 sized v's 450, The scale guns and retracts I felt it was worth the asking price. It's quite a big heli in person.
