A Schluter Mini-Boy was my first heli. Flew it with a 5 channel Kraft radio and no gyro to begin with. That was way back in 1982.

Found this one on RR a few months back. It had been assembled but never flown. Even had a new OS 40 with heliball.

Finally got her going this week and hovered today. Runs smooth as silk on CP 30%.

Thanks for all the help and inspiration!

Without a gyro, just like the old days, right?

Well Steve................. there's actually a little Fut 240 gyro hidden under the receiver. I decided I did not want the challenge of going gyroless again.

Of course if you can't see it, maybe it doesn't count?

Thanks tutelar and J. I would love to make IRCHA but I may have a schedule problem this year. Still hoping however.

Would love to meet up with you guys that have contributed to my addiction.
