Airwolf RC Helicopter Brings Back the 1980s Memories
The 1980s gave us so many memories: shoulder pads, miniskirts, Iran-Iraq war, John Lennon's assassination, Nintendo, MTV (remember "Video Killed the Radio Star"?), Pac-Man, and TV series like 21 Jump Street and Airwolf. These are only some of the many things that remind us of this particular decade. Airwolf was one of the most watched American television series during the 80s. The show focuses on a state of the art military helicopter code named Airwolf, and it ran for four seasons, from 1984 to 1987. For those who are old enough to remember this TV series will never forget the coolness of the helicopter. Airwolf was actually a Bell 222, which is a twin-engined light helicopter manufactured by Bell Helicopter.
Although it has been more than 30 years since Airwolf debuted, the show still has some loyal, hard core fans. Fans can relive the heyday of this once popular television series with the Airwolf radio controlled (RC) helicopter. The Airwolf RC helicopter is the miniaturized replica of the Bell 222 helicopter. It is the perfect toy for loyal fans of the TV show as well as RC airplanes enthusiasts. Today, many toy manufacturers have come up with their own version of the RC helicopter.
If you are a big fan of the series, you can consider getting the 4 channel super size Airwolf RC helicopter by Lie Bao. Measuring at 60 cm (more than 23 inches), it is bigger than the average RC helicopters out there. It features a flight stabilizing system which enables the helicopter to maintain a stable hover, dual propeller system with revolutionary co-axial rotor technology, and 4 channel FM transmitter. It comes equipped with a lithium polymer 7.4V 1,400 mAh battery. The size is L60 x W18 x H25 cm (L23 x W7 x H10 inches) and the weight is 615 gr (22 ounces).
You might also be interested in the Walkera 2.4Ghz Airwolf 5#4Q3. It is essentially a scaled down version of the Bell 222 helicopter used in the TV series. It also includes similar features as the Lie Bao Airwolf RC copter such as 4 channel FM transmitter and co-axial twin rotor blades system. The Walkera Airwolf is easy to fly for beginners and equipped with a tricycle undercarriage with retractable wheel for taking off and landing. The 2.4 Gigahertz radio system uses less current than standard frequency radio systems, resulting in longer battery life and flight time.
