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
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.
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.
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. ;)
thank you for your kind comment !!! who knows, maybe the owner already did something like this ? there are many, many additional features which can be applied to a model like this one.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hallo Christian. Freut mich, dass Dir dieses Video gefällt. Danke für Deinen Kommenatr und den Daumen hoch !!! ... Wir sehen uns in Sarre-Union. Viele Grüße, Horst
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
Danke Franz ... von den 10 Stunden Aufnahmen hab ich noch jede Menge gutes Material. In Kürze kommt noch ein Trailer für Sarre-Union 2013 !!! Freu mich schon saumäßig auf die neue Saison ツ Viele Grüße, Horst
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate. You're absolutely right. This copter ist very detailed and the pilot know how to fly it. Best regards, RCSA
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.
Thank you for your kind comment. Sorry but I don't know about the type and functionallity of the gun shot. I'm only the guy behind the camera. Best regards, RCSA
Now that was an incredible demonstration on what a R/C helicopter can do. Not to mention that it’s a Blue Thunder helicopter. The way it took off….I wondered if it was nose heavy like in the movie, or if it was just over-all heavy. Thank You for posting this, & of course best wishes to you RCSA.
Beautiful model and smooth flight; compliments pal. From the small electric 500 size AH-1W Super Cobra I use to pilot, I look at yours and I'm impressed. I love it! :)
loool, I did not mentioned it that this is the biggest rc heli. I've uploaded some videos of a "Lama" with 3.4m rotor :) Many people watching rc videos because they love it. No matter if someone know the stories about each single type. It's important to me they enjoy watching it. I've seen your RB Cobra video some month ago.
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.
"Blue Thunder".. oder auch "Das Fliegende Auge"... grandioses Modell zu einem sehr unterhaltsamen Film von 1983... Kompliment an den Piloten, super schön geflogen... so muss Scale-Flug sein
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.
I know - some other guy made some contributions to my list (the search for the biggest RC scale heli). So I was lucky to see this cause I love this one. I'll have to check out the Lama - 3.4m Rotor would really make it the largest one! Thanks again for the nice videlos!

It still looks as magical in 2020 as it did in the 1980s. Such a beast of a helicopter..
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 Claude for your cool comment !

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! :-)
Thank you very much for your compliments. Much appreciated.
This is the best RC helicopter I've seen! This thing looks and sounds awesome.
Besten Dank, Oliver. Freut mich, dass Dir das Video gefällt !!!
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!
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

Actually they did. Certain scenes were filmed using their RC scaled model.
Many thanks for your great comment !!!

Thank you very much for your great comment which I really appreciate.

Thanks mate for your awesome comment. Much appreciated. Best reagrds, Horst
Great-looking heli and awesome turbine... very stable flight!
That's one sick looking rc helicopter!! Looks awesome! Love the light workings too. Sounds great too
Thank you so much for this great comment which I really appreciate.
Thanks Buck. Much appreciated !!!
Wow, awesome helicopter! The F14A looks fantastic too!
Thanks for watching, buddy !!!
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
oh yes, it is built very detailed !
This was very well flown. The sound,.. . it was so much like the show!!! Marvelous piece of work!

Danke Klaus. Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt. Viele Grüße, Horst
Many thanks. I'm glad that you like it.
Outstanding video and quality Horst! Your channel is my favorite! Cheers from your fans in the US
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.
It's an all time classic. Just an insane looking Helicopter..And the sound is even more amazing..
Many thanks, Paul !
I'm glad, you like it !!!
Thank you very much for your great comment which I really appreciate.
Many thanks. Have a look in the video description then click at the link to the manufacturer.

To me this looks more like a work of art than a rc model helicopter, really impressive :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I really appreciate.
You're absolutely right. This copter ist very detailed and the pilot know how to fly it.
Best regards, RCSA
Thanks for your nice comment !!!
Oh wow...the tail even shakes at startup like the real thing. This is fantastic!
Many thanks for watching and commenting !
RCScaleAirplanes
Totally! Thanks for posting it. I have shared this with a few people now, they all love it.
Thanks for your nice comment, which I greatly appreciate.
Many thanks for that ... You're always welcome !!!
Lovely shots of this incredible model! 👏👏 Thank you!
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.
Thanks my friend for your comment and thumbs up. Cheers, Horst

Mir gefällt dieses Modell auch sehr gut. Sehr Scale gebaut und geflogen.
Danke für Deinen Kommentar !!! Beste Grüße, RCSA

Very nice build. Brings back memories of the movie. Nice job.
Beautiful model and smooth flight; compliments pal. From the small electric 500 size AH-1W Super Cobra I use to pilot, I look at yours and I'm impressed. I love it! :)
Awesome machine, top notch build!
Bring nice memory's watching blue thunder as a kid :)
Thank you for your kind comment, _Assaf_. Much appreciated !!!
Thanks my friend for your kind comment ツ
amazing job!! Incredible attention to detail and the flying was spectacular! Thanks for sharing!!
Great model, great flying and great camera work .another great vid from RCScaleplanes
As you might know, the XH-A1S is a semi pro camera and uses DV cassette. It's just another way to register digital images ツ
That is awesome, you can even hear that high pitch whine that you could hear on the real thing in the movie too!!
+BudgieFan39 yup, nothing beats a turbine.
You always see Airwolf, nice to see the Big Blue for a change and not only that an amazing model of it ta boot! That was awesome !!!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, which I really appreciate.
You're always welcome, Harald.
The 2013 season will start soon and much more to come ツ
fantastic man! That movie had a great impact on me when it came out, nothing like that chopper, thanks!
Thank you David !
loool, I did not mentioned it that this is the biggest rc heli. I've uploaded some videos of a "Lama" with 3.4m rotor :)
Many people watching rc videos because they love it. No matter if someone know the stories about each single type. It's important to me they enjoy watching it.
I've seen your RB Cobra video some month ago.
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.
Many thanks, mate. Much appreciated.
Thank you for presenting this awesome video and another great flight!
Thanks for your comment and thumbs up ! ... much appreciated !!!
DAMN, Words can't describe that, that was sone beautiful flying as well.Hats off to you brother.
Impressive, Blue Thunder was my favorite show as a kid, it is nice to see someone build an RC of it so f*cking cool...
Thank you Kevin !
"Blue Thunder".. oder auch "Das Fliegende Auge"... grandioses Modell zu einem sehr unterhaltsamen Film von 1983... Kompliment an den Piloten, super schön geflogen... so muss Scale-Flug sein

For this video I used my Canon XH-A1S
Unfortunately I forgot to clean the video head before I went to this event.
Thank you for your compliment !!!
That whirlybird is beatiful. Real turboshaft power too. Unreal.
wow so amazing to see what it can do up in the air nice job,thanks for sharing.
Thanks. No problem. I could do it during video editing :)
Wow, you could film the movie with that. Nice work.
Thanks ... Oh yes, that would be cool :)
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 !!!
I know - some other guy made some contributions to my list (the search for the biggest RC scale heli). So I was lucky to see this cause I love this one. I'll have to check out the Lama - 3.4m Rotor would really make it the largest one!
Thanks again for the nice videlos!
