The Ultimate RC Chinook video

This video was made with the left over unused footage from my 'RC VIETNAM HELICOPTER RESCUE MOVIE' . I filmed most of this myself using a camcorder strapped to my hat, but i give credit to my wife for dragging her into the woods to film the more difficult views.

This is the Twister Skylift co axle RC helicopter. I painted it and put in a crew with door gunners. Its not a very good quality helicopter, but it got me started and was fun while it lasted. I literally flew it to death.

I just love the Vietnam era classic Motown sound, mixed with the rhythmic throbbing harmony of a Chinooks rotor blades!

whats up with the wire on the bottom?

[dancindestroyer]

@awsomeness0person0 -Thats the antenna wire for the stock 35mhz receiver. Your obviously too young to remember anything before 2.4 radio!

Awsome you guys gave me some great ideas, Just one thing I have the what kind of chinook is it? Did you cut the rer open? I have the 22" model. Look up the Defender rc with soldiers I just got this one and it's awsome!

[dancindestroyer]

@AFewGoodPuppets - Thanks! This is the Twister Skylift. I cut the back open and made a ramp, belly pan, open door gunners etc. Its not a very good heli really, but was the first twin co axel, so im sure there are better helis out now.

I love your work, Carl and Ivonne. As flyby8906 says, no-one else offers the same combination of flying skill and daring, virtuoso camera work and meticulous editing. Way to go! If you type in rc Land Rover Truck Cab you can see my attempt at some sort of emulation, though I had to fly the Skylift myself as well as driving so I couldn´t show the Landie & the heli in action in the same shot...

@Del350K4 - Thanks again for your generous compliments! Your nice words even persuaded Ivonne to come out and film my F-16! Thanks alot mate!!! I now hope i can live up to your expectations! Hope to see more of your work soon.
