Heliguy Forum - RC heli forum

Sorry if this sounds a bit sad but ive been lookin at the Bell 222 Helicopter which was more famously known as "Airwolf" and i have been appreciating the heli i always wanted to fly as a kid. I have always loved planes and helicopter's and i wanted to share my enthusiasm with other heliguy members. I want to know what made you think, man, i would love to fly one of them. Here are a few pictures of the bell 222a in all its glory. Like i said, sorry if this sounds a bit sad, but i have always appreciated aircraft and what it must take to fly them!

Man i love this hobby.

The bell 222a.


The Honeywell LTS-101-650C-3 turboshafts, later replaced by two Allison 250 turboshafts plus other refinements.
Engine output is 100% rated at 9598 RPM. Two independent drive shafts deliver power from the engines to the transmission.
The Bell 222's LST-engine exhaust stacks are located at the rear of the engines, while the 230's Allison-engine exhaust stacks are located high on the cowling.


Two-blade, semi-rigid high-kinetic energy main rotor with preconing and underslinging. The rotor head incorporates elastomeric bearings for hub springs, flapping and pitch change bearings. The system is similar in design to that used by the AH-1 Cobra. Rotor speed at 100% engine speed is 348 RPM.
All series models incorporate a pusher-type two-bladed tailrotor mounted on the left side of the tailboom, turning at 3396 RPM. Look how much the swash plate looks, and operates like your model!!


Only 38 were ever built apparently.

When i was about 10 my dad paid for a ride in a jetranger and it scared the hell out of me, but since them i have been hooked. God bless RC heli's, and thank god i got into this hobby!!!!
