Man in Germany dose a demostration of his RC Mi-24 Hind Helicopter.
The Mil Mi-24 (Миль Ми-24, NATO reporting name: Hind) is a large helicopter gunship and attack helicopter[1] and low-capacity troop transport with room for eight passengers. It is produced by Mil Moscow Helicopter Plant and operated since 1972 by the Soviet Air Force, its successors, and more than 30 other nations.
In NATO circles, the export versions, Mi-25 and Mi-35, are denoted with a letter suffix as “Hind D” and “Hind E” respectively. Soviet pilots called the Mi-24 the “flying tank”, or летающий танк (letayushchiy tank). More common unofficial nicknames were “Crocodile” (Крокодил or Krokodil) due to the helicopter’s camouflage scheme[2] and “Glass” (Стакан or Stakan) because of the flat glass plates which surround the cockpit of the Mi-24.
During the early 1960s, it became apparent to Soviet designer Mikhail Leont’yevich Mil that the trend towards ever-increasing battlefield mobility would result in the creation of flying infantry fighting vehicles, which could be used to perform both fire support and infantry transport missions. The first expression of this concept was a mock-up unveiled in 1966 in the experimental shop of the Ministry of Aircraft’s factory number 329 where Mil was head designer. The mock-up designated V-24 was based on another project, the V-22 utility helicopter, which itself never flew. The V-24 had a central infantry compartment that could hold eight troops sitting back to back, and a set of small wings positioned to the top rear of the passenger cabin, capable of holding up to six missiles or rockets and a twin-barreled GSh-23L cannon fixed to the landing skid.
Mil proposed the design to the heads of the Soviet armed forces, and while he had the support of a number of strategists, he was opposed by several more senior members of the armed forces who believed that conventional weapons were a better use of resources. Despite the opposition, Mil managed to persuade the defence minister’s first deputy, Marshal Andrey A. Grechko, to convene an expert panel to look into the matter. While the panel’s opinions were mixed, supporters of the project eventually held sway and a request for design proposals for a battlefield support helicopter was issued. The development of gunships and attack helicopters by the US Army during the Vietnam War convinced the Soviets of the advantages of armed helicopter ground support doctrine, which had a positive influence on moving forward with the development of the Mi-24.[3]
Mil engineers prepared two basic designs: a 7-ton single-engine design and a 10.5-ton twin-engine design, both based on the 1,700 hp Izotov TV3-177A turboshaft. Later, three complete mock-ups were produced, along with five cockpit mock-ups to allow the pilot and weapon station operator positions to be fine-tuned.
The Kamov design bureau suggested an army version of their Ka-25 Hormone ASW helicopter as a low-cost option. This was considered but later dropped in favor of the new Mil twin-engine design. A number of changes were made at the insistence of the military, including the replacement of the 23 mm cannon with a rapid-fire heavy machine gun mounted in a chin turret, and the use of the 9K114 Shturm (AT-6 Spiral) anti-tank missile.
A directive was issued on 6 May 1968 to proceed with development of the twin-engine design. Work proceeded under Mil until his death in 1970. Detailed design work began in August 1968 under the codename Yellow 24. A full scale mock-up of the design was reviewed and approved in February 1969. Flight tests with a prototype began on 15 September 1969 with a tethered hover, and four days later the first free flight was conducted. A second prototype was built, followed by a test batch of ten helicopters.
Acceptance testing for the design began in June 1970, continuing for 18 months. Changes made in the design addressed structural strength, fatigue problems and reduced vibration levels. Also, a 12-degree anhedral was introduced to the wings to address the aircraft’s tendency to Dutch roll at speeds in excess of 200 km/h, and the Falanga missile pylons were moved from the fuselage to the wingtips. The tail rotor was moved from the right to the left side of the tail, and the rotation direction reversed. The tail rotor now rotated up on the side towards the front of the aircraft, into the downwash of the rotor, which increased the efficiency of the tail rotor. A number of other design changes were made until the production version Mi-24A (izdeliye 245) entered production in 1970, obtaining its initial operating capability in 1971 and was officially accepted into the state arsenal in 1972.[4]

Nice…From a short distance looks real! So can it do anything besides

And MAKE PEOPLE FEAR THE MI-24 AGAIN !!!!!!!!
Those probably cost around 800
I would shit myself if a real one of these was outside my house
how much does that cost
Nice minimehind!

put weblinks here Go to google look up heliclassics or world wide web dot
heliclassics dot de This one is just under $9000 but they have cheeper one
that is under $2000
okey thank your maybe i will build me self a mi-24 this should be much
better for your money … 🙂 sry for my bad english 🙂
Shut up and take my money
How may thousands did that cost
Where you get it
Great video, nice shorty shorts.
needs fireworks and it be complete
How much is the lenght of this model? you use jet-Kat turbine?you sell the
plans? Thank you for the show
Go to google look up heliclassics or world wide web dot heliclassics dot de
This one is just under $9000 but they have cheeper one that is under $2000
هب على الامريكن
This is not my model i know it was built by someone in Germany
i much it costs in euro? im from germany and i wish me this mi-24 hind 🙂
thats what i was thinking of at a first view lol whats the purpose of those
scaled models if its not to make fun/scare out of people lol

Put FPV on it and scare the absolute life out of people. Imagine that thing
coming over the trees.
Now that halo is just fucking awesome
very impressive! Mount a POV camera in the pilots seat, or a gun-cam! Then
put a paintball gun on it! FUN!
You should be proud, your stick skills are second to none and they give the
appearance of true, scale flight. Absolutely superb.
Holy cow…that’s as big as a person!!!!….WOWWW
This must be an old video, flybarred with a 5 foot Tx antenna?
wow look so freaking scary when facing you like ready to blast you of into
