It still looks as magical in 2020 as it did in the 1980s. Such a beast of a helicopter..
If you ever accidentally lose control while flying this, make sure to radio in "Central, this is Blue Thunder, it seems that we have a ship down... Somewhere in the Watts area..."
In a British accent, of course. ;)
Great-looking heli and awesome turbine... very stable flight!
Thank you very much for your compliments, Devin.
I'm glad to know, that you like my videos. Best regards, RCSA
I was a HUGE fan of the movie and Blue Thunder is my all time favorite Heli. Your Model, Sir, is OUTSTANDING. Very nice work. I would love to see this fly in person.
I seen a lot of fantastic RC helicopters both on youtube and in person and this one is the best I have seen. Amazing detail and very steady flying. Nicely done.
Officer Frank Murphy - "she's nose-heavier than the Ayatollah." Loved this movie. Great model, almost looks real.
I think that line was a wink and a nod to the fact that the modified Gazelle used was very heavy at the nose with all the props bolted on.
Nice to know I'm not the only one who was thinking of that line. Jafo: "Oh, c'mon!!!! This stuff is GREAT!!!!" At least that's the way I remember it. I may have gotten the exact words wrong.
@@charlesballard5251 I think you nailed it
"You're crazy, this stuffs great. Hey, let's see what's on HBO tonight!" --- Officer Richard Lymangood
I bet the makers of the movie wish they had something like this. The realism and detail is insane.
Thank you for your compliments, which I really appreciate.
I'm very pleased to know, that you liked watching the video.
_Regards, RCSA_
RCScaleAirplanes how can I buy one
Ahem, the makers of the movie *did* have something like this. Including RC F-16 fighter jets. In the movie they look like CGI but that the technology wasn't as far developed at that time (early 1980s). Of course they had constructed an actual full size helicopter, I believe based on the French Gazelle helicopter. But for the stunts (like the loop) they used RC helicopters.
Exactly as AudieHolland says. I had a magazine with an article about the build as at the time it was the only way to find out about these things... no internet.
Both the actual helo and the model were described as "nose heavy as the Ayatollah" which is a rather dated phrase. Look carefully and you can see the loop was filmed with the RC bird.
Actually they did. Certain scenes were filmed using their RC scaled model.
This is the best RC helicopter I've seen! This thing looks and sounds awesome.
Well, Darryll ... the same to me. I'm also not a big fan of helicopters but it's always very impressive to have one of this huge pieces in front of my camera.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and that you being here at my newest uploads. I appreciate that very much.
Best regards, Horst

Many thanks mate. Glad to have you here !!!
Oh my god!!!!! Almost the same sound of the original!!! The best helicopter ever, both this scale model and the full size... Tnx for posting!
Wow, awesome helicopter! The F14A looks fantastic too!
Besten Dank, Oliver. Freut mich, dass Dir das Video gefällt !!!
WOW!!! A beautiful model and amazing skills exhibited by the flyer!!! My favourite part is where it banks left and flies away from a hover (*at 2:19)! It looks so realistic (compared to a full size chopper) it's just brilliant!
I cannot begin to imagine the time and dedication it took to build it - let alone learn to fly it so skillfully. Many thanks to all.
Scratch the line about building it...it's a kit! :-)
Thanks mate for your superb comment. Really much appreciated !!!
Best regards, Horst *RCSA*

RCScaleAirplanes
wow so amazing to see what it can do up in the air nice job,thanks for sharing.
Many thanks for that ... You're always welcome !!!
What I particularly enjoy about RC Blue Thunder Models is that the Fan in Tail and Turbine combo means they actually sound like the original does pretty much. and much more so than say an RC Airwolf sounds like she does in her show.
Thank you. I really appreciate it !!!
Many thanks. I'm glad that you like it.

ha, i forgot i was looking at a model as the pan was happening so i almost jumped when the giant in the red shirt appeared! Blue looks so awesome in this.
thank you for your kind comment !!!
amazing job!! Incredible attention to detail and the flying was spectacular! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for your nice comment, which I greatly appreciate.
It's an all time classic. Just an insane looking Helicopter..And the sound is even more amazing..
Ok, I'll admit that this is pretty darn impressive. BUT I will only take one if it comes with Turbo boost & Whisper mode. :)
Well ... this is a fair request. But then the price will rise for another $5k :)
RCScaleAirplanes Haha. Fair enuff!
That is from a movie isnt it? Can you remind me what it's called? I believe its with Tom Cruise, but I havent seen it in yeeeears so I cant remember what its called haha.
KennethLarsson The movie title is *_Blue Thunder_* ... As it is already mentioned in the video descriprion :)
RCScaleAirplanes But of course, thank you! It's a classic worth seeing again.

Thanks for watching. Sorry, but I don't have any more data about this heli. I'm just the guy behind the scene. I'll try to get some more informations when I meet the pilot next time.

As far as I know, on most of gas or Jet powered helicopters you can see this vibrations. There is nothing wrong with the tail rotor. Thanks for your comment. Best regards, RCSA
Beautiful. Poetry in motion.
That is extremely cool!! Nice flying JAFO! :D
