    A design that is almost 50 years old but is still the most beautiful, especially Airwolf

    Probably the most beautiful flying machine ever created, and still looks completely modern today! Must be a true honor to have one in your possession!

    Thank you Helix for all the time and money you've invested in this beautiful machine, so looking forward to seeing " Wolfie" in the air. The triple 2 is a one of a kind helicopter.

    I have three questions.
    One: Have you ever played the Airwolf theme while flying this beauty?
    Two: How does she handle?
    Three: How does it feel to fly a legend?
    Great video's, keep up the good work!

      one:not while we are flying
      two: like she looks
      three: like you think

    Many of us Airwolf fans would be grateful for a video from the perspective of an actual aviation specialist such as yourself to give us a detailed analysis of the specific mods to the standard issue 222a, as well as how impractical a real-life Airwolf would be. (At least in terms of aeronautics: speed, maneuverability, ceiling, dis-engaging the rotors, etc.) What would it take for you to convert your 222a into a screen-accurate Airwolf?
    Can't wait to hear it coming online and taking flight!

    • @HelixAvBell
      @HelixAvBell  7 місяців тому +4

      that is a very complex set of questions it would take a long time to explain maybe one day we can do some videos on it. thank you for watching the videos

    Beautiful aircraft! Those wide chord rotor blades produce a lot of lift for a teetering head rotor system.

    It certainly is a substantial aircraft. Am looking forward to seeing if it fly's as good as it looks.

    The music in the beginning just hypes up the 222 even more. Great video well done.

    Wow, absolutely LOVE this. So much close up view of a 222, and excellent explanation of what you do. Awesome! Thank you so much for the effort of making these vids and sharing them!
    The 222 is without a doubt the best looking helicopter of all time, specially as Airwolf, and I can't imagine that will ever be beaten by another design.
    I haven't seen a nice closeup of the rotor head like this and it's huge indeed. Awesome engineering!

    Are you going to add the official Airwolf modifications? My recollection is that the pilots reported that they made the helicopter fly even better.

    Thanks again for such a great video and i am sure if you could change her more into Airwolf and would take your business into another level. Then a Huey Vietnam version (Tour of Duty) Then a Magnum Hughes 500 and so on. What a way to travel in your chosen TV icon Helicopter and maybe also get sponsors to do this as well. Maybe getting film work too. Tom Cruise next Stringfellow Hawke and a remake of Airwolf film fly's your Helicopter.

    Hi! Thank you for everything!
    Would it is possible for you to tell us is the alarm tones are accurate in this video : ua-cam.com/video/oTQCFlLpkAo/v-deo.html (at 50:20)
    If not, could it be possible to share with us a recording of the actual real tones/alarms and other anouciators (seat belts/no smoking lights).
    Thank you again for your great videos!

    Wow, what an iconic aircraft. Thank you for this! I can imagine Dom in the lair doing the preflight checks. Hopefully one of the studios make a new series or movie.
    Who would you choose to play Stringfellow Halke?
