Amazing how a RC helicopter clearly shows its not the engine that makes so much noice, its a electric motor, but its the blades that create most of the helicopter sound. Truly amazing replica of the airwolf :)
I think what were also hearing, besides the rotor blades, is the gearing. Check around 1:28, you'll see some massive straight-toothed gearing wheels. With an 8kW motor, they need to be massive, but you'll definitely hear them scream at that kind of power.
The thing that amazes me, is the fact that this extraordinary model has to break down for transport. Thus making it a much more complex build! Beautifully done though. The lady flies again!!
This is incredible, the most lifelike relica of Airwolf I've ever seen! What a job you did to this sir, you should be very proud! I'm sure String & Dom are smiling down from heaven, thank you for this
remember 35 years back...damn my parent never nearly had so much money to finance such hobby for me... but in this early young years i was happy about my "revell apache model in 60cm...that what also huge for me...
It's neat seeing so many people still enjoying this helicopter. My dad actually painted the one for the show back in the early 80's when we lived in Fontana, CA. I used to love watching the show with him growing up. Fantastic job! Great recreation!
@@Ahhhmotherland Yes the real one for the show. It was pretty awesome. I used to take photos to school to show the other kids as it was a popular show at the time. (unfortunately I lost a couple-dad wasn't happy)
At the beginning of the vid, I expected it to be turbine powered. It astounded me when I saw it was electric in that size. I have a 500 size Air wolf that is identical. I will fly it inverted but love scale flying. I can't imagine how nervous I'd be flying that beautiful machine. I'm so jealous. Thank you so much for sharing this video.👍✌😎
@@m.v5792 I was once given wise words by an old scrooge McDuckonion. If you have to ask, you can't afford it. These are big boy toys where cost is never a factor in the equation. Gotta pay to play. But, cost is only a box of otherwise useless components. This is a love and demanding hobby. The real costs are in the unrecoverable hours upon months of highly technical building, testing, testing, testing, testing lol to answer your question there is no option to just purchase a ready to go bird. It's a pursuit of each required kit, module, component, controller until the sum of the whole bears the name of the craft in the video. Given you lack the most basic of this concept, I'd start around level 1 of beginner's guide, rather then the final chapter of the master's guide.

These things are turning into full-sized remotely operated pilotless aircraft. Soon, people will create a mesh system consisting of drones to extend the range of these type of aircraft. Or 5G and 6G tech can also be utilized. Now think of the possibilities. 😁
As an 80s kid, this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen! Airwolf was one of my fave shows, together with Dukes of Hazzard and Knight Rider. I love this! Makes me want to get into the RC hobby as well :) Now fire up a RC Huey and have an aerial dog fight!
Im the same grew up in 80s with all those brilliant tv shows and have most of them on dvd now to watch all over again in my 40s haha. Was waiting on airwolf theme comin on wen he lifted it in air lol
@@bon55dc98 No reason to buy the DVD, they're all streaming online if you know where to look, or on TV using an over the air antenna. I'd add MacGuyver to the list, as well as Simon and Simon
This thing's amazing work of engineering. I got scared when the prop started spinning up and it started shaking like it was out of balance but it calmed down. On a side note I can't be the only one having Airsoft fantasies with this thing and actual electric gun pods and a go-pro camera.
@@crazyfroggie6546 Airsoft - the airwolf replica has prop guns on the sides, the guy means with those as acttual airsoft guns that shoot pellets/bb's and a camera. Airwolf is the show.
Duuude ya, a airsoft field should get one of these and if you capture an objective you get like 1 or 2 min of manning a gun by one of these flown by a referee! Like a chopper gunner kill streak
Airwolf was one of my favorite shows growing up. This has truly put a smile on my face. The replica was so realistic I looked for Stringfellow Hawk and Dominique Santini to come out after the helicopter landed. AWESOME JOB!!!!
That is a thing of beauty. Brings back memories of the show. Someone needs to clip this, to the beginning of flight, with the Air Wolf theme music and sounds..
There is another Airwolf chopper on U-Tube with rockets that fire. I copied the video, removed the images of the pilot, and added the theme song and it adds so much to the video. Of course I cannot place it on u-tube because of copy rights. I made it for myself to watch and listen to.
I can't believe how much I love and appreciate this!! You guys should be hired by your local secret agency to do missions with that thing. Including a guy with an eyepatch and all!! This just deserves it!
Me too then I grew up and realized there's no way in the world that two guys could have maintained & kept running such an advanced weapons system all on their own with no institutional backing all the while trying to keep it hidden from the government. As a kid that's a non-issue as an adult it's a suspension of disbelief I just can't do anymore.

So cool that someone built that big of an Airwolf remote control! I was always upset as a kid how they took that show down. Was something amazing and ended up being cut, re-used scenes of previous years. This was my favorite show as a kid, I was like 7 or so when it came out. Glad to see some out there still carrying Airwolf torch! Would love to see someone make a game out of it but nobody has ever finished one. That Airwolf is something else, some top notch work there, hats off!
i didnt get to watch the show cause it was always aired after 10 where i live. then i saw the rc at a shop which at the time cost almost 10 grand. i am in my 40s now and the closest thing i have that even resembles airwolf is a small drone copter that i bought🤣and it looks nothing like a airwolf 😅. i wish to thank my parents maybe if they have just let me watch airwolf i might actually have turn out different 🙄🙃
I remember seeing the real R/C Helicopter used in Airwolf back in the 80's on display inside Merv Griffin's Casino in Atlantic City. It was in a glass display case, it had to be around 4ft long. I thought that was awesome, this is unbelievable.
Huh? In the TV show they used the real helicopter not an RC model. The flight-capable Airwolf helicopter was a cosmetically modified Bell 222, serial number 47085, sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A. During filming of the series, the helicopter was owned by Jetcopters, Inc. of Van Nuys, California. The helicopter was eventually sold after the show ended and became an ambulance helicopter in Germany, where it crashed in a thunderstorm and was destroyed on June 6, 1992, killing all three crew members
This brings back childhood memories, this is o e of my favorite shows at the time! Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us! Airwolf is a TV legend!
Probably won’t believe me but my dad’s cousin was one of the mechanics on the set of AirWolf. I have pics of his father my great uncle sitting in it. I’d share them if I knew how.
Absolutely fantastic!!! All you needed was the theme tune in the background (which I supplied myself) and I just got such a buzz from all those childhood memories. Thank you so much for filming that 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As soon as it took off and hearing the whirl of the rotors, my mind started playing the Airwolf theme. What an impressive piece of machinery right there and thank you so much for posting this. Best RC hands down.
Yeah, It's an "in-cre-dee-ble machine" especially when you look closer: In the TV series: - Merely 1/3 (or less) scenes was filmed during real flight, rest of them was staged / post processed - Machine guns and missiles were fake because there is no room to pack up so much ammo which also weights a lot - Jet thrusters deffinitely could not be real because it contradicts the laws of physics / no room for extra fuel - Even customized or modded Bell 222 could NEVER be "that" quiet as it is shown in the series After the series has been finished: - So called "weapons systems" was removed and the Airwolf has been sold to HEMS for a pittance - During one of it's HEMS flights Airwolf crashed because of both - Aircraft damage (that they didn't noticed) and pilot error - And to think that in early 90s I deliberatly threw away new bicycle and saved money to buy a VCR to record that piece of crap👎
The hell does in-cre-dee-able mean and what the literally hell is the rest of ur rant aimed at. You couldn’t pay me a million $ to try to explain what u just said
I think I was into voltron and thundercats then, just surpassed JI Joe days maybe. I grew up on Navy bases though, so I used to build models of Blue Angels at the time. I definitely grew up in the south and used to call the rebel flag the yeehaa flag as a kid lol.
@@fischer859 well that's quite a response. I drink and save money and get females good luck with your toy and remember to tell your mother goodnight. Say when are you moving out?
I like the pretend rivets. Such a nice touch! As a prior UH-60 Black Hawk repairer, seeing these guys put that little bird together took me back to my time in the U.S. Army (2000-2006). No other video has triggered my memories and feelings. I'm a bit choked up. Must be the size of that thing, ha-ha.
Years ago when I was wearing young mans clothes, I'm 58 now i asked a helicopter pilot why they were so loud. He told me it was the propeller breaking the sound barrier. Beautiful helicopter by the way 👏👏👍👍
Most helicopters will never have any part of the blade break the sound barrier, even with the rotor at max speed and the aircraft at max speed, such that the tip of the advancing blade has its own speed plus the speed of the craft. That's by design. Numerous bad things start to happen, so you avoid that.
That was amazing! The retractable wheels, the sound of the rotors whipping the air. I can't imagine what that cost to build and outfit with all the electronics. Simply amazing!
That's just AMAZING! Gave me chills watching this fly with the Airwolf theme playing in the background. Would be cool if he added a speaker with the distinctive howl that the helicopter "made" on the show. GREAT STUFF! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous model. Love seeing the internal mechanisms and craftsmanship. Feels a tad underpowered though. Might consider retrofitting to actual turbines.
I instantly knew what it was without reading the text. Airwolf! When it raises above the grass I lose that sense of scale and it looks like a full size helicopter. An incredible testament to the detail. Suddenly, I'm a kid again.
@@frednel4326 I checked the comments just below and whaddayaknow... they were _also_ selected as random "winners." I freakin' HATE scammers. Good for you if that's his real name too!
I very much appreciated the assembly footage. It was actually quite relaxing seeing it being built in the sun with the birds singing. A fantastic video, thank you.
I have the complete TV series on directors cut DVD. I'll never miss out seeing the real one. At least while I'm alive, then I'll get to talk to Jan Michael Vincent, who flew in the series...
Absolutely awesome ! I remember watching that show as a kid , this brings back alot of memories, this is the coolest RC helicopter ive ever seen by far !
Amazing how a RC helicopter clearly shows its not the engine that makes so much noice, its a electric motor, but its the blades that create most of the helicopter sound. Truly amazing replica of the airwolf :)
I was thinking the same thing, it almost sounds like its a turbine engine.
@@rightsidelanechoice7702 There is definitely a turbine noise generator of some sort on this model.
@@OrganGrindersSwing no Sir, the sound its only from the Mechanic komponents
I think what were also hearing, besides the rotor blades, is the gearing. Check around 1:28, you'll see some massive straight-toothed gearing wheels. With an 8kW motor, they need to be massive, but you'll definitely hear them scream at that kind of power.
It was probably intentionally engineered to sound like there is a turbine.

This demo may very well be the nudge I need to secure my mechanical engineering degree. Freakin' AWESOME!!!!
It’s tough, but worth it.
I’m an ME who now owns his own company and love what I do. I highly recommend it, if it’s your passion.
I’m a Butcher and I also think you should do it…
This is pretty friggin wild.
Go get it! We have an Enterprise to build one day :)
After this demo I want to get my degree in UAP/UFO building, or atleast computer graphics. Whatever to fool people.
The amount of hours that would have gone in to that build is staggering I’m sure 😲 what an incredible machine
Yeah, It's an "in-cre-dee-ble machine" especially when you look closer:
In the TV series:
- Merely 1/3 (or less) scenes was filmed during real flight, rest of them was staged / post processed
- Machine guns and missiles were fake because there is no room to pack up so much ammo which also weights a lot
- Jet thrusters deffinitely could not be real because it contradicts the laws of physics / no room for extra fuel
- Even customized or modded Bell 222 could NEVER be "that" quiet as it is shown in the series
After the series has been finished:
- So called "weapons systems" was removed and the Airwolf has been sold to HEMS for a pittance
- During one of it's HEMS flights Airwolf crashed because of both - Aircraft damage (that they didn't noticed) and pilot error
- And to think that in early 90s I deliberatly threw away new bicycle and saved money to buy a VCR to record that
piece of crap👎
@@MaurycyRogowieckiwhat the hell are you going on about 😂
The hell does in-cre-dee-able mean and what the literally hell is the rest of ur rant aimed at. You couldn’t pay me a million $ to try to explain what u just said
@@MaurycyRogowiecki tf are u talking about 😂😂😂 thats sooo off topic what are u even trying to say
@@williammadisondavis should we ask him about Knight Rider?, probably thinks KIT can't talk and all the switches are fake and don't work too.
This almost brought tears to my eyes. Reminds me of my childhood. Beautiful…
Indeed 😢
That is so cool :)
Airwolf and Blue Thunder for us 80's kids. This was really cool.
I think I was into voltron and thundercats then, just surpassed JI Joe days maybe. I grew up on Navy bases though, so I used to build models of Blue Angels at the time. I definitely grew up in the south and used to call the rebel flag the yeehaa flag as a kid lol.
I was thinking the same thing.
🤜 Airwolf for the win
they put children into these things??! these should be banned, why would you put children in there???
@@Blox117 Lol No dude. Airwolf and Blue Thunder were a TV Show and a Movie in the 80's.
@@JimmyBeanz13 you should be arrested for child endangerment!! this is not a joke!!
Flight starts at 7:44
Real one
Ty
This is unreal! Hands down the best I have seen yet.
thanks a lot eric
Where can I buy one?
@@erichughes8723 you can’t just buy one and even if you get one to buy how are you gonna afford it?

Ist aber Geschmacks und Ansichtssache!
Even tho this guy has WAY too much free-time and money on his hands this is by far the most impressive RC I've ever seen!
Hello sir, I'm not rich. I don't drink I don't waste money. I save my money for models. that is the secret.... Thanks a lot
@@fischer859 well that's quite a response. I drink and save money and get females good luck with your toy and remember to tell your mother goodnight. Say when are you moving out?
@@fischer859, Greetings from your latest subscriber.
Congratulations on the great job!
@@fischer859 why don't you get a PPL/PPLH and fly real aircraft ,That's where real fun is
@@fischer859 Bangkok ones have a pretty good value, but if you want the best of the best I suggest slavic ones;)
Man that thing looks real when it’s on the air. Impressive

I like the pretend rivets. Such a nice touch! As a prior UH-60 Black Hawk repairer, seeing these guys put that little bird together took me back to my time in the U.S. Army (2000-2006). No other video has triggered my memories and feelings. I'm a bit choked up. Must be the size of that thing, ha-ha.
Wow... What a beauty.
One of the coolest RC I have ever seen. That sound is just beautiful
I like how he actually recorded himself setting it up, I like being able to see how it works
Years ago when I was wearing young mans clothes, I'm 58 now i asked a helicopter pilot why they were so loud. He told me it was the propeller breaking the sound barrier. Beautiful helicopter by the way 👏👏👍👍
Most helicopters will never have any part of the blade break the sound barrier, even with the rotor at max speed and the aircraft at max speed, such that the tip of the advancing blade has its own speed plus the speed of the craft. That's by design. Numerous bad things start to happen, so you avoid that.
That is so cool!
Magnificent! I loved that show as a kid. What an amazing creation. Thanks for sharing this!

4:10 Dame it I thought my headphones broken and speakers were working 😅
Incrível. Depois de muitos anos é realmente maravilhoso ver o “Águia de Fogo” (assim ele era chamado no Brasil) fazendo mais um Vôo.

anyone else could hear the Airwolf theme song in his mind when he hide that landing gear? :)
Beyond cool...as somebody else commented, the landing gear retraction is a proper "woah, cool" moment. Loved that, thank you!
Que saudade dessa serie, poucos tiveram o privilegio de assistir................Época boa.....
Verdade mesmo! Era top d+👍🏻

What a beauty! I bet the producers back in the 80s wished they'd had a couple of these.
The studio did have 3 rc models bigger then this model, I have photos of all 3 side by side I think they measured 14 feet long
@@feracopictures9322 Wow!
From distance hi looks like real helicopter
Well, this makes my 1/7 scale AIRWOLF model look tiny! Very nice!
ua-cam.com/video/TLBWysjr1L8/v-deo.htmlvvv
That was amazing! The retractable wheels, the sound of the rotors whipping the air. I can't imagine what that cost to build and outfit with all the electronics. Simply amazing!

Tree fitty
That's just AMAZING! Gave me chills watching this fly with the Airwolf theme playing in the background. Would be cool if he added a speaker with the distinctive howl that the helicopter "made" on the show. GREAT STUFF! Thanks for sharing!
I was just thinking the same thing. Add the original sound effects would be so awesome.
@@samanthakelly483 And then maybe shoot fireworks out of the cannons!
that would be the cherry on top wouldn't it tho he did well tho! eh clip it and edit that in and make a short
THAT IS IMPRESSIVE.
I enjoyed watching this.
Simply wow! I've seen the smaller version of the Airwolf copter before but at this scale it looks sooo real!
All we need now is the ability to retract the weapons and use the turbo to achieve Mach2 😁

Gorgeous model. Love seeing the internal mechanisms and craftsmanship. Feels a tad underpowered though. Might consider retrofitting to actual turbines.
Maybe the next one will have turbines
That is awesome.
This video needs the original soundtrack!!! XD
This is beautiful, I love how detailed it looks and the sounds are amazing it like the real airwolf chopper 🖤😀👍🏼
it would be interesting to catch on to it and fly.

思っていたよりスピードが遅いけど、やっぱりエアーウルフはカッコいい！👍
スピードは控えて飛ばされているようです。デモストレーション飛行です。 JST、3:25分
Fantastic
I instantly knew what it was without reading the text. Airwolf! When it raises above the grass I lose that sense of scale and it looks like a full size helicopter. An incredible testament to the detail. Suddenly, I'm a kid again.
Impressive. Next project : working armaments :)
Wow... now you just need a hollow mountain for a secret hangar!
Absolutely beautiful "Lady"

Watch out for this guy, he's gonna rob you, hese name is Ethan Dobbs the scammer
@@frednel4326 I checked the comments just below and whaddayaknow... they were _also_ selected as random "winners." I freakin' HATE scammers. Good for you if that's his real name too!
I very much appreciated the assembly footage. It was actually quite relaxing seeing it being built in the sun with the birds singing. A fantastic video, thank you.
I have the complete TV series on directors cut DVD. I'll never miss out seeing the real one. At least while I'm alive, then I'll get to talk to Jan Michael Vincent, who flew in the series...
1:40 nice placing of all components.
Its scale is perfectly in keeping with its operating speed, it looks perfectly real.
That thing definitely needs a little Arnold Schwarzenegger action figure 😂👍
I loved air wolf when I was a kid! I used to watch it with my grandparents.
Absolutely awesome !
I remember watching that show as a kid , this brings back alot of memories, this is the coolest RC helicopter ive ever seen by far !
Wow! That's an amazing copy!
