Mirko Zanni of Italy built this impressive 1/6.7-scale Mil MI-24 Hind attack helicopter. The electric-powered heli has a 7.5-foot rotor span and can fly for up to 8 minutes on 12S 1600mAh LiPos. The mechanics are from Heliclassics. Thanks to RCHeliJet for taking this video at the Swiss Heli Challenge at Duebendorf Air Base last weekend.
Giant-scale Helicopter Gunship
Way cool!
I think there is a misprint (1600 ma)
Otherwise fanrastic
That is one awesome model. the HIND is one ugly mean looking bird. The sound and speed of gear retract is fantastic. Very realistic. I thought he was going to scrape the chin turret on the touch an go – glad he didn’t. If it wasn’t for the non scale orange cone at take off it would have looked real. Very impressive heli.
Sounds like a turbine.
Beautiful Helicopter nicely crafted, at 2.57 seconds Check out the what looks to be an Alaska Airlines 737 aircraft in the background.
There is an even better one here in New Zealand , powered by 2 gas turbines !
