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. ;)

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.

@ScarabChris 9 жыл бұрын

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.

@strikerdelta 3 жыл бұрын

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.

RCScaleAirplanes how can I buy one

@AudieHolland 6 жыл бұрын

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.

@kennethfharkin 6 жыл бұрын

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.

@koolmoe1971 5 жыл бұрын

Actually they did. Certain scenes were filmed using their RC scaled model.

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.

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.

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.
