| Airwolf pics...I looked at the airwolf.com web page, and didn't see the photos I have, posted on the sight. Most of the ones I saw on the web page were taken off the show. The ones I have (71 total) are taken at an airshow that the owner at the time (Jetcopters Inc.) had the Airwolf in during the promotional stage of the TV series. If memory serves me correctly, and don't quote me on this one, I think the pics were taken by one of the pilots that worked for Jetcopters Inc. and were offered as a way to make some extra pocket change. They are copies of 35mm photos with the farthest picture being about 20 to 50 feet from the heli, and the closest one taken about 3 feet and closer from it. The photos cover just about every square inch of the Airwolf from some angle or the other. This includes the inside,outside,rotor heads, instruments, seats, guns, rocket launcher, and even the trim tab on the rear horizontal fin that most people leave off the RC versions. If you wanted to make a VERY detailed scale replica of the Airwolf, then these would be a must. I have seen some Airwolf models that people post pics of on the web sights, and they seam to get the strip in the wrong place as compaired to the prototype. Maybe this is due to the lack of any acturate pictures. I have no clue. But I have seen enough of them to prompt me to post the original message letting people know that I have them.
I should have them ready by the end of this week in Adoby Acrobat format. |
( Or should I say "land" all over again)
I plan on using the pics when I start putting mine together. I think I'll probibly modify mine with the horizontal trim tap on the leading edge of the stabilizer as it will aid the Wolf in forward flight. After I get the Vario, I might even try to make it adjustable in flight.....not sure....I have to get the kit first....
