FLYWING Airwolf 470 Scale RC Helicopter ACE Flight Control with GPS and Retractable Landing Gear

What Is the FLYWING Airwolf 470?

The FLYWING Airwolf 470 is a 470-class scale RC helicopter built on the iconic Airwolf television design. It combines the instantly recognizable black-and-white Airwolf fuselage with the FLYWING ACE intelligent flight control system, multi-link GNSS positioning, automatic retractable landing gear, and a 3508-class brushless power system. It is supplied ready-to-fly (RTF) and is designed for RC helicopter pilots who want genuine scale appearance alongside practical GPS-assisted outdoor flying.

Automatic Retractable Landing Gear

The retractable landing gear is one of the defining features of the FLYWING Airwolf 470. After takeoff, the gear retracts automatically as the helicopter climbs, restoring the clean fuselage silhouette that makes the Airwolf design so distinctive. During landing, it extends again as the aircraft descends. The pilot can also control the landing gear manually from the transmitter at any time.

ACE Flight Controller with GNSS Positioning

The FLYWING Airwolf 470 uses the FLYWING ACE flight control system with multi-link GNSS positioning. The system provides GPS-assisted stabilization, soft takeoff and landing assistance, coordinated turning, and three selectable flight modes:

• Soft Mode — Smooth, dampened response for pilots getting familiar with the helicopter
• Normal Mode — Balanced response for everyday scale outdoor flying
• Sport Mode — Faster, more responsive control for active flying and maneuvering

Return-to-home functions activate automatically on low battery, signal loss, or by one-key command. Coordinated turning adds roll input according to flight speed for a more natural bank angle during turns.

Horizontal hover accuracy: approx. ±1.5 m with GNSS positioning
Vertical hover accuracy: approx. ±0.5 m with GNSS positioning

Scale Airwolf Fuselage — Built for Display and Flight

FLYWING has refined the proportions of the 470-class Airwolf fuselage and added scale details throughout. The model features:

• Black-and-white Airwolf livery
• Detailed rivet and panel textures
• Auxiliary jet nozzle details
• Side-mounted scale accessories
• Belly-mounted rocket launcher-style detail
• Scale detailed cockpit interior
• Removable top cover for inspection and maintenance

The result is a helicopter that works equally well as a display model and as a flying RC aircraft.

470-Class Brushless Power System

The FLYWING Airwolf 470 is powered by a 3508-class brushless main motor with a 60A dual-processor brushless ESC and a full-metal gear drivetrain. The two-blade rotor system uses a quick-release blade design with a NACA-profile airfoil matched to the 470-class airframe. The 4S 5000mAh LiPo battery delivers a reference flight time of approximately 23 minutes under windless hover conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the FLYWING Airwolf 470 have GPS?
Yes. It uses the FLYWING ACE flight controller with multi-link GNSS positioning for stable outdoor hover, GPS-assisted stabilization, and automatic return-to-home.

Does the Airwolf 470 have retractable landing gear?
Yes. The landing gear retracts automatically after takeoff and extends automatically before landing. It can also be controlled manually from the transmitter.

How long does the FLYWING Airwolf 470 fly?
FLYWING reports a reference flight time of approximately 23 minutes on a 4S 5000mAh battery under windless hover conditions. Actual flight time varies with weather, flying style, and battery condition.

Is the FLYWING Airwolf 470 suitable for beginners?
It has GPS-assisted stabilization and a Soft Mode that makes it more manageable than a non-GPS helicopter, but a 470-class brushless helicopter is recommended for pilots with prior RC helicopter experience.

What does RTF mean?
RTF (Ready-to-Fly) means the helicopter comes fully assembled and configured with all necessary components including the transmitter and battery. No additional purchases are required to fly.
