Antiques or Out of Business > What to do with old heli?

Hello,
I have an old kalt cyclone 1 .50 heli very near flying condition (no canopy and needs new pushrod for motor servo).
I originally bought this Heli 8 years ago and never found someone to help me get it into flying condition. In the meantime I've bought a sceadu which I'm learning to hover on now

What would you guys suggest I do with this heli? Keep it as a doorstop? Buy spare parts and try to fly it?

How hard/safe would getting it to fly be? Are there people who still fly these beasties who would be interested in it for spare parts?

The heli itself appears in pretty good condition apart from some corrosion on the main rotor shaft and the lack of a canopy.

Best regards,
Playmobile

Those old Cyclones looked better without canopy anyway.

The doorstop idea sounds best to me as I had a Cyclone back when they first came out and mechanics/flying characteristics where not much to brag about.
