If you’re a fan of Airwolf and have been waiting for an RC helicopter that truly does justice to its legacy—your wait might be over.
I recently got my hands on the new WOLFBUSH AW-911, and honestly, I didn’t expect it to impress me this much.
It’s smaller, lighter, and surprisingly feature-rich—with everything from GPS and lidar to a 9-channel remote, all at a much more accessible price than most GPS helicopters in this category. And despite its compact size, it doesn’t cut corners when it comes to flight stability or detail.
Below is a full hands-on review of the AW-911 in action.
WOLFBUSH Airwolf 911 Overview: Small in Size, Big on Features
The WOLFBUSH AW-911 is a 1:34 scale replica of the classic Airwolf helicopter—compact, lightweight, and built with serious flight capability. It offers electronic stabilization, GPS-assisted flight, return-to-home functions, and a durable build with CNC components and smart battery integration.
Feature-by-Feature Comparison: AW-911 vs. AH64
🛩️ 1. Flight System & Control
