Cox .020 powered Bell-47
I had a Cox Bell-47 back in the '70s.
After tuning the engine let the rotors get up to speed. Launch straight up with a light push from the palm of your hand. The Fuselage did counter-rotate on the way up. Bob

This product was only offered for one season, two years after the show went off the air. When I contacted Estes for parts replacement, they said no parts were available except for the motor.

Speaking of Airwolf, I just came across an interesting--and sad--bit of history about the Bell 222 helicopter that was filmed as Airwolf, in this Wikipedia article (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airwolf ). It is this:
The Airwolf helicopter[edit] Main article: Airwolf (helicopter) "The flying Airwolf helicopter was actually a Bell 222, serial number 47085, sometimes unofficially called a Bell 222A.[7] During filming of the series, the helicopter was owned by Jetcopters, Inc. of Van Nuys, California.[8] 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.[9]"

I actually like the 'high pitched scream' of a Cox TeeDee 020 at 27,000 RPM or a Tee Dee 010 at 32,000 RPM running on 30 to 40% nitro fuel. To me a screaming 2-stroke dirt bike ia a sound to behold and the gawd awful belching sound of a Harley is a sound I LOATHE.

Years ago there was an Airwolf copy built and placed in a museum until the place closed down due to lack of patrons/funding. It was just a mock up and unflyable.
