John, you Sir, are a Saint! No obnoxious music, you kept your helicopter in close, so it didn't look like a blob the whole time, and even got what sounds like an MD500, over flying, in the background. Outstanding!
Ok, I'm drooling, she's beautiful. Same goes for the scenery! Thanks for sharing. I'm a 52 year old newbie but I can surly appreciate that bird and where I'd like to be someday. Thanks again!!, Dale
Mr Salt, please let me know if you ever want to sell this beautiful bird. I’ve always wanted one of these, but my building skills lack the expertise that you have. Excellent piloting skills sir.
Correct; like most of Bell's helicopters, the Bell 222 (what the Airwolf is) has the tail rotor on the left side of the boom. The vast majority of RC helicopter mechanical systems however have the tail rotor configured on the right side of the boom. RC helicopter fuselage manufacturers recognize this fact and thus, will also generally have the fiberglass fuselages configured for a right tail rotor shaft and pitch slider exit hole and required vertical fin placement; such as is the case with this specific 600/50 size FunKey Bell 222/Airwolf fuselage.
@fcolon1976 - I should mention not all computerized radio's have a "slow" channel output function so in the off chance you don't have that function on your specific radio, there are servo slowers you can get as well. They go between the receiver and servo and have an adjustment pot on them to set the speed you want. Just one example: amzn.to/44rzSUL I should also mention these servo slowers (either in the radio or external) don't work with retract specific servos that only have a two position output. They only work with normal proportional type servos.
@Rchelicopterfun oh wow thank you so much for the heads up, I had no idea. Luckily my 1st TX will be the radiomaster tx16s but I will do more research on the servos before I buy any. Lifesaver 🙂🙂
actual Bell 222 rotor rotates counter-clockwise, and also the tail rotor is on the left side. not sure why almost all RC heli rotors rotate clockwise with tail rotor on the right side.

Wow~ This is the greatest flying among many Airwolf flying video~~~

Glad you enjoyed the flight 🙂
I can never get enough of Airwolf. Thanks so much.
👍
omg, that just took me back to 1986. Thank you for the no music , that is a beautiful machine
Superb piloting skills and the helicopter appears to be so well balanced.

One of my favorite Helicopters!!!!
Also, I loved that sound of those blades beating the air!
one epic flight and majestic scenery........:)
Thats a nice picece I love airwolf that looks exactly like it
Awesome flying there John, love the control you have, nice bird too. Thanks to the camera work too. Love it
You make that look easy!
Great flying like it better than 3D flying.
AWSOME love that helicopter and sounds great , great flight and great place to have a flight.
also a good flight and a good helicopter. Nice video.
Going to have to call you Stringfellow Hawke :)
Nice flying, and like others have said its a nice place to fly.

The Airwolf in the movie, had the tail-rotor on the left side, no ?

Is it a T-Rex 450 with a Airwolf canopy?
Very beautiful :)
It appears scale flying uses lower head speeds. Does this also equal longer flight times?
How did you get the retracts to go so slow up into the fuselage?
Channel 5 (retracts) slow programming function in radio.
@Rchelicopterfun oh wow thank you! Had no idea I could do that 🙂👍

Hello John, is this with the Gartt hf600L motor? kind regards Martin
Yes.
actual Bell 222 rotor rotates counter-clockwise, and also the tail rotor is on the left side.
not sure why almost all RC heli rotors rotate clockwise with tail rotor on the right side.
