Ahhh yes ! I hear you , I said the same thing to my wife when I fired it up at the house to test it .. I told her her daang that smell and that noise brings back a lot of memories , I felt like a kid again ☺️☺️😊
Got 1 flight out of mine as a kid, straight into a huge tree down the street. The neighbor brought it to me a few years ago when it finally came down with a fallen branch. It still looked pretty damn good for being up there 32 years!
Wow ! That is cool you got it back 32 years later but you got it back lol 😆 I lost an airwolf and a air rescue .. First time I didn’t think about the wind and it was gone on landing , went into the neighborhood somewhere.. 2nd time I went to a bigger school yard thinking it was big enough, but nope same thing happened 😆😆
@@andystoybox1723 I wanted the airwolf chopper so bad but the lhs never had it so I settled for the Cobra! I wonder how many of these things are still up in trees, laying in fields, and generally not discovered since their first flight? It seems our airspace was never big enough for those 🤣🤣🤣
@@deanoliver5172 The airwolf was so awesome!! I use to just pretend flying it around the house and yard 😂😂yup ! You need a lot of space ! I learned my lesson lol 😂 that’s why I thought it was a good idea to take it to the dry lake .. you can still find some on eBay ..
Same here! 🤣 The last time I saw mine was 33 years ago when it landed in a tree at the local elementary school! I never got it back, but I did find someone else's Cox Sky Jumper heli in the same area a few years back, which I still have.
Awsome seeing one fly. Had one as a kid but never got it to fly. I was too young with no one to help me. I've got a new old stock Cobra version i picked up years ago at an RC swap meet for $35😮 I'd love to fly it but hate to open the box!
My little brother had a Cox .049 powered dune buggy. That little thing would just rip!!! Since you could only set the front wheels to steer before you let it go, it would mostly do $hitties! But it would every now and then hit a bump and steer in a different direction!! We had a ton of fun with it!!! Kids nowadays don't know what fun is!!!!
Oh shit...was just watching another Cox video and mentioned the Airwolf helicopter my best friend had in the 80s...then this video gets recommended, lol. We scared the shit out of ourselves with that thing...all kinds of fun, though. Once one of the helicopter blades broke off for good, the balance got thrown off and the thing would go APESHIT once you started the engine and let it go. You just had to start it, throw it and RUN.
Yup lots of fun ! I remember the airwolf , I had one also a long time ago . I lost it at the school yard , I didn’t think it would go that high , when it shut down the wind took it to who knows where I could not find it 😂😂😂
My friend had a Testors ME 109 that we also flew the $hit out of!!! Why Am I thinking MY EARLY years were soo much better than a young person's experience today???
Had a yellow one. Flew 3 times then left in in the box for hours and the plastic large propellers melted into bacon. 10 year old devastated. Of course back then it was a learning experience. Lol good times
